To celebrate the 16th anniversary of the Gilmore Girls premiere, we met up with some fans at a Luke's Diner pop-up event in Beverly Hills.
We asked some die-hard fans what their favorite moments from the series are. Here's what they had to say:
1. When Jess stole Rory's book, so that he could leave her notes in the margins:
2. When Rory and Lorelai threw deviled eggs at Jess's car:
3. And Jess's reaction:
4. When Jess tells Rory he loves her:
6. When Rory and Logan took that giant leap:
"You jump, I jump, Jack."
7. "COPPER BOOM!"
8. When Luke pushed Jess into the lake:
9. "Oy with the POODLES ALREADY!!"
10. Rory's first kiss with Dean:
11. 22.8 miles...
...HE LOOKED IT UP!
12. When they had a wake for Babette's cat, Cinnamon:
14. When Luke and Lorelai danced at Liz and T.J.'s wedding:
Please note that this fan loves this moment so much, she got a TATTOO OF IT.

16. Lorelai and Emily at the spa:
"You and I are mother and daughter always."

EVERYTHING.
