The Kim house is bustling while wedding preparations are being made. Lorelai brings over the dress, which has been altered tremendously. Mrs. Kim gets a phone call and kind of freaks out. Her mother is coming, leaving Korea for the first time in forty-five years. Mrs. Kim starts hiding all her crucifixes and replacing them with Buddha statues. Mrs. Kim’s mother has no idea that her daughter is a Seventh Day Adventist.

The bachelorette party runs into the bachelor party. The bars are all closed and there’s nothing to do, so everyone ends up hanging out in Brian’s aunt’s basement.

When Lorelai tells her Luke is out of town and won’t be at the wedding, Mrs. Kim freaks out and says she absolutely has to bring a date. She decides to bring Michel, but he cancels because he gets front row tickets to see Celine Dion. Rory, who has apparently forgotten about all the drama that happens every time her father comes around, suggests Lorelai bring Christopher. Lorelai, equally forgetful, thinks it’s a great idea.

Everyone gathers at the Kim house for a weird Buddhist wedding. When Lane’s grandmother sees that Zack is white, she starts yelling in Korean. She gets in her cab and leaves. As soon as she’s gone, the whole congregation runs to the church for the real wedding. There are 58 seats and 62 Koreans, so everyone races to find a seat.

The wedding is a big success. Hep Alien plays. Kirk fires all the bartenders because they’re “too yummy” and he thinks Lulu likes them. Brian makes out with Kyon. Lorelai gets completely trashed and gets up on stage and starts talking about how she’s never going to get married. Christopher and Rory drag her away and take her home. When they get there, Rory gets a phone call. Logan has gotten hurt on his trip and Rory goes to the hospital to see him. Later, Luke calls and wakes Lorelai up. She’s surprised to see Christopher sleeping in a chair in her bedroom.
