LORELAI: Michel, how’s the RSVP list coming?
MICHEL: Well, I must say this has been especially challenging for me. I mean, when you are talking about a wedding with up to forty people all living within a five mile radius, how can one person be expected to keep track of all of that?
According to Michel, forty people are coming to Sookie and Jackson’s wedding, all of them living within five miles from Stars Hollow. That doesn’t sound right, because Jackson is shown to have a large family, and whenever they come to Stars Hollow, they need accommodation – something which wouldn’t be necessary if they’d only driven five miles. For that matter, why did Rune move to Stars Hollow if his home town was five miles away?
