Today, fittingly on National Proposal Day, Us broke the news that Alexis Bledel and Vincent Kartheiser are (surprise!) engaged. And (double surprise!) they've actually been so for the past few weeks.

This was her gown of personal preference:

Pink lapels for all!

Last but not least, it wouldn't be a Stars Hollow wedding if someone didn't throw some sort of strange, historical-themed shin-dig, which brings us to Liz's Renaissance-inspired gown:

Alright, you've seen them all. Tell us, which Gilmore Girls gown — if any — should Alexis Bledel consider for her big day? Weigh in with your thoughts, below!
