Wedding March 5: My Boyfriend's Back (2019)
1
[cheerful music] Did you check the cellar? We'll never find it if it's in the cellar. That doesn't mean that it's not there. This is all just getting much more complicated than I thought. Olivia cannot find out about my anniversary plans. [sighs] Hey. Hi. Who are those for? Oh, Annalise. I thought it would be a nice little welcoming touch. Not getting nervous, are you? Well, this is her first wedding since the start of her new company, and I just want everything to go smoothly for her. Well, she's been a wedding planner for a while with her old company. And you've worked with her lots of times before now. And she's got you as a teammate, so what could go wrong? Guys, it's a wedding. Who knows? She does have a point. Do you mind bringing these up to Annalise's room for me, please? Anything for you. Thank you. [mischievous music] Duke, I need your opinion on something. Yeah, shoot. Okay. So, Mick and I have an anniversary coming up. Really? What is it? Well, um, I mean I doubt he'll remember, but Sunday is our 25th anniversary of our first date. Wow. Yeah. I am amazed that you can even remember that. I know, it is a long time ago. Yeah. But I want to do something really special for him. Well, you know him best. Uh, what do you have in mind? I don't know, I'm trying to figure it out. But aren't you going to be really busy with the wedding? Well, yeah, but Mick's always been the one to do all these special little romantic things for me, and I want it to be my turn this time. It's a great idea. Good. [phone rings] Ooh, I gotta go. Annalise is headed up right after her party. Okay. Thanks, Duke. You are welcome. Anything you need. [nervously] Oh boy. [cheerful music] To Annalise. We hate to lose you, and we hate to have the competition. [laughs] But we wish you every success with your very own company. To Annalise Collins Designs. Thank you. Thank you, everyone. Cheers! So, I hear you're talking to investors about your company. Yep. If this investment group comes on board, I'll be able to hire a staff and really move the company to the next level. So what needs to happen before they pull the trigger? Well, I know they're going to be looking really closely at this next wedding. Oh. No pressure, then. Hmm, not at all. Only the entire future of my company, and my career, for that matter. Just remember, you've got Olivia taking second position with you. Our company has done lots of beautiful weddings with her before. When you were the lead. Right. There's no reason I can't do that again. You're going to be a huge success. Well, from your lips to the investors' ears. Thank you. Though I'd really, really love to stay a while I've already got my walking shoes on though I'm really going to miss your sweet smile Gotta move along It's time to go, I gotta hit the road Got a pocket full of dreams just burning a hole It's time to go, 'cause life is calling Can't stop me now because I'm following my soul - Hi. - Hey! Welcome to Willow Lake Inn! Thank you. Hi. Good to see you. Hey. How was the drive? Oh, it was beautiful. I'm so happy to see you guys again. You too. Hey, do you mind if I put my things in the lobby? I want to go over the ceremony before the vendors show up. Oh, no problem. Some things never change. Well, I'm excited. Or, nervous. Or, make that "terrified." You, terrified? Impossible. Okay. Well, maybe more "excitedly terrified," if that's a thing. You're going to do great. Yeah, and Olivia's going to make sure of it. Good. I'm so happy that we're working together. We're going to have so much fun. Yeah. The wedding arch will go here. Mm-hmm. And the flowers will circle around the altar and then flow down to create the aisle, like a garden pathway. Ooh, I love it. Thanks. [message alert] Oh, party rentals are here. Oh, great, right on time. Hey, how's it going with that guy you were dating? Uh, it didn't really work out. Aww, I'm sorry. That's okay. You know, I'm starting my company, I love what I do, what more could I ask for, right? I love this gold rim. Let's switch the charger plate with this one, and this wine glass with this napkin. Exactly what I would've done. Perfect. Let's show this to the bride. [metal clattering] [metal clattering] Duke, Duke, hey. Here it is! Oh, yes! What are you guys doing? Uh, spring cleaning. But it's summer. It's never too late. Exactly. Just, uh, we're good. Yep. Hey. Is everything okay? Perfect. Uh, Mick, can you give me a hand? The birch guy's here. [awkwardly] Oh, yeah. Sure. Birch guy's here. [sighs] That's a lot of birch. What's it for? Oh, it's the wedding arch. Annalise is building it. I had an installation artist make one a few years ago, and I thought, this would be perfect for Jen and Lucas. So you're an artist now, too? No, but how hard can it be, right? Oh, what's this, "Vintage Baskets by Dean?" It's addressed to you, can I open it? Oh, no. I'll take that. So, Annalise, we should probably load this birch up, huh? Okay. Oh, here they come. Hi. Hey! [laughs] Ohhhh... Welcome. Hey. This place is unreal. Yeah, even better than the pictures. I love it already. Well, I knew you would. Uh, you look busy. [laughs] Oh, this is your wedding arch, do you like it? - Ahh. - It's awesome. Yeah, he's very easy to please. One of the reasons I fell in love with him. Aww. Well, Jen and Lucas, this is Olivia and Mick. They own the inn. And Olivia here is going to be my right-hand woman this week. Yes, I am. - Nice to meet you. - Yes! Good to meet you too. Lucas Donovan. We've heard so many good things about you. We're both really excited. Hey, I thought your best man was coming up with you. Ah, he had some work stuff. He'll be up in a bit. Okay. Well, why don't we meet up in about 10 minutes, and I'll show you where we're gonna have the welcome party. Sounds good. Good, good, let's get you guys settled. Thanks. Jen and Lucas seem great. Oh yeah, they're the best and very much in love. So, tell me about 'em. What do they do? Uh, Jen is a marketing VP at this huge advertising company, and Lucas works for the same company but on the creative side. Okay. How'd she find you? [laughs] Well, we met in a spin class in New York and we've just been friends ever since. I'm so happy for them, you know, especially Jen. Yeah, why is that? Well, she's kind of like me. What do you mean? Well, she's always known what she wants and she won't stop until she gets it. And she found that with Lucas. And Lucas. Well, tell me about him. What kind of guy is he? Well, I've only met him a few times, but he seems great. Very relaxed, fun loving, he really brings out that side in Jen. He reminds me of my ex, actually. Your ex? Yeah. The infamous Brad Buckley. Infamous, huh? Well, it wasn't exactly the best of breakups. Long story, but that's ancient history. We haven't spoken in about five years. [message alert] Oh. There's Jen. Enough of the past, on to the present. Oh, yeah. This... this is a perfect space for the rehearsal dinner. Don't you think, Lucas? Yeah. This'll be great. Oh, speaking of the rehearsal dinner, I figured out what I want for a signature drink. Ooh. What were you- Hey. I'm sorry to interrupt. Hey, buddy. Hey man. Look at this gorgeous couple. Look at you two. Jennifer. Brad. You're making a big mistake, I'm just saying. [laughs] Olivia, this is Brad. Oh, you must be the best man. I am, nice to meet you. Yeah, nice to meet you, too. Yeah, Olivia and Mick own the inn. Oh, it's incredible up here. Oh, thank you. Yeah, we really love it. Oh, speaking of, there's Mick. Hey, Annalise. Hey. Brad? Annalise. What are you doing here? I'm the uh, I'm the best man. What are you doing here? I'm the wedding planner. Okay. So you two... Yeah, we've met. Yeah, we go way back. Seriously? Small world. Very. It's a very small world. Okay, uh, why don't we get Brad checked in? Sure. Let's do. [whispering] What's going on? Nothing. It's all good. Tell me. I'm just a little surprised, you know, Brad being here. Wait, how do you know Brad? You remember that guy I told you about? My ex? Brad? No way. - Stop it. - Yeah. How is this happening? I mean, what are the chances? I'm trying to figure that part out too. Oh my gosh, I'm, I'm so sorry. No, no, no, no, don't worry about it. That's not your ex, is it? The very same. Oh boy. Yeah. It's fine. There will officially be no problems at your wedding. Do you understand me? Are you sure? 150 percent. Come on. [sighs] Uh, did you know Brad's ex was Annalise? No idea. Right. Brad, how long you known Lucas? Oh, um, we've known each other what, four, five years? Uh, yeah. Brad owns an expedition business. We met on one of his trips. Oh. Oh, what kind of expedition? Hiking, river rafting, kayaking. Yeah, we hiked the Grand Canyon. Got caught in a sudden hail storm. Oh, gosh. Still here to talk about it. Yeah, that kind of thing bonds you for life. So, you own your own company? I do, yeah. A couple offices, actually. Oh. I actually have an office in, uh, New York, as a matter of fact. Wow. Small world. Very small. You cut your hair. Uh, about five years ago. It's great. [uncomfortably] Mm-hmm. Well, Brad, got any baggage? Luggage? It's pretty, your hair. Yeah. You too. Well, that's not what I meant. Cool. So... Yeah. We're all here. Yeah. Happy wedding. [laughs nervously] [duck quacking] Easy for you to say. You don't have to make conversation with your ex all week. [duck quacking harshly] Okay, okay, I'm going. I'm going. Oh, this French toast has my name written all over it. Mmm, it does look good. But I think I'll stick with the eggs. Good morning. Have a good sleep? Perfect, and I love my room. Yeah, mine's awesome, too. Good. So, Jen tells me we have a pretty intense week planned. Not intense, fun. Right. And you are invited to all of it. Yeah, but you can't come to the final dress fitting. Mm-mm. You're not seeing me until I walk down the aisle. I can't wait. [laughs] Morning. Hey. Hi, pal. Hi, guys. [carafe sputters loudly] [coffee pouring] Hmm. Not hungry? Uh, coffee's good. Oh, good morning. Good morning. Everybody happy? Totally. Couldn't be better. Oof, I have a feeling this could be a very long wedding. I wonder what happened between those two. I don't know, but couldn't have been very good. I'm gonna get some eggs. I have eggs, right here. No, no, no. The ones out there look great. Oh, yeah. Pfft. What... what was that about? Oh, I don't know. Picky eater? Oh, okay. Duke, I have an idea for the first date anniversary. Oh yeah? Yeah. I'm thinking about making him a photo album, you know, of all the pictures of when we first started dating. Oh, that sounds really nice. Yeah, good, good, 'cause I'm going to need your help. [awkwardly] Yeah. Is there a problem? No, no, it's not a problem. So. What's the plan? Well, what do you mean? Well, like, maybe, what time of day might you be planning on giving him the photo album? I don't know. Why? Do we have something on the schedule? Uh, no, I don't think so. Okay, then why did you ask? Oh, I was just curious. Duke... Yeah? Why are you acting so... uh... So what? Well, I don't... I don't know. You're just kind of acting, uh... No. [fumbles words] That's just me being me. Hey, Duke. You busy? Not at all. [sighs] (whispers) What's up? They don't have it, either. They said it's been discontinued. That's impossible. Well, that's what I thought. I think I have an idea. Yes, I... I understand. That's what it means. I'm... I'm not raising my voice. What's the problem? I realize that, but... Yes, I did. I... I talked to them, but they told me to talk to you. Wait, what? What did he say? Excuse me, can you repeat that? Anita? Oh, Vinita, with a "v." Okay. And Ada. Got it. Thank you so much. Thank you very much, you just saved my life. Okay, they haven't got it either. But at least we've got a solid lead. So, that's three down and one to go. For the first part, but I still don't know how we're going to do the second part. Could I have a little enthusiasm, here? This is nerve-wracking enough as it is. Deep breaths, buddy. You're doing great. [sighs heavily] Okay. [exhales] Right. You mind? Sure, feel free. Lots on the agenda today? Yep, and I've got it all under control. Don't doubt that. So, this is pretty crazy, right? You mean the fact that you show up as the best man at the most important wedding I have ever thrown in my life? Yeah, pretty crazy. You know how things work with us. Crazy things always seem to happy when we're together. Yeah, well, we're not together now, so I would call this, I don't know. Bad luck? That's one way of putting it. [exhales heavily] So, um... This is your most important wedding so far. It is. How come? Well, I've started my own wedding planning company, and I have an investment group that's interested in it. That's great. That's- congratulations. Look, I don't mean to be rude, but I think it would be best if we keep our distance as much as possible until we get through this. Yeah. Of course, we'll keep our distance. That's... that's what I was thinking, yeah. Okay. Okay, um. Good luck. You too. Thank you. I'm just gonna be somewhere else. [upbeat music] - Hey. - Hey. That was a pretty quick exit at breakfast. Yeah. Look, I know how you felt about Annalise, and I know things didn't end that great. That is the understatement of the century, my friend. Might be a good idea if you and Annalise try to patch things up. You know, at least for the wedding. [laughs] That's easier said than done. But hey, don't you worry about that. It's your wedding, man. You relax, you enjoy. Thanks, man. Yeah. Of course, don't worry about it. Oh, no, no, no, no, no! [gasps] This thing's so stupid. Happy to help. I'm fine, really. All right, it's your call. I'm just saying, you're busy, I'm handy. This is what it's supposed to look like, and these are the directions. Great. Shouldn't be a problem. Is that the knife I gave you? Yeah. Didn't I give you that on your 21st birthday? I don't know, maybe? What? Nothing. It's a good knife, okay? Go do what you gotta do. I got this. Something else I can help you with? Aren't you going to read the directions? Nope, gonna let my creative intuition guide me. You know people are gonna stand under this, right? Right. And it would be a good thing if it didn't fall. Agreed. Because, you know, people could, uh, get hurt. Did I do something? No, you're fine. Okay, I could be way off here, but I'm getting the distinct impression that you are mad. Mad? [laughs] Do I look mad? You look a little mad. Well, I'm not. Okay. Good. Okay. Fine. Good. [sighs] It's just that you broke up with me on the day that we were supposed to move to New York, after the car was packed. I did do that, but you didn't talk to me for five years, so. You broke up with me! Why would I talk to you? I don't know, maybe because I called you a hundred times? Not to mention the emails. No, no, no. Don't turn this around on me. You're the one who backed out. It was five years ago. Why you gotta be so... So what? Stubborn, rigid. I'm sorry. No, no, no. No apology necessary. You still want me to help with this, or?... Oh, yeah. Please. Just go with the flow, you know. Just have at it. My boyfriend's back and you're gonna be in trouble Hey-la, hey-la, my boyfriend's back. When you see him coming better cut out on the double Hey-la, hey-la my boyfriend's back. He's been gone for such a long time Hey-la, hey-la my boyfriend's back. Now, he's back and things will be fine. All Right. I just got off the phone with the bakery, we are confirmed for the cake tasting this afternoon. Great. Thanks. Yeah. Hey-la, hey-la my boyfriend's back. [inhales sharply] He is never going to get that thing done right. Might not be able to wing this like I thought. Don't tell Annalise I said that. Didn't hear a thing. Thanks. [groans] [chuckles] There you go. Hope you don't mind me asking, uh, how's it going with you two? Honestly, not great. How long have you known him? Since the second grade. Wow, that's a long time. I know. And we wouldn't have known each other if it wasn't for baseball. Baseball? What do you mean? Annalise's dad was a huge fan. First present he ever got her was a ball and a bat. The minute they moved to town, he signed her up for the all-boys team. First girl ever. That's how you met, on the team? We didn't exactly meet. She took me out sliding into home plate. It was pretty impressive. Brad didn't think a girl could slide, so I figured he had it coming. [laughs] Anyway, against all odds, we were inseparable. Why do you say "against all odds?" I've always been focused, all about sticking to the plan, sometimes to a fault. But Brad is charming, fun, all about go with the flow. Yeah, how so? Well, for instance, I knew I wanted to go to college, have a career. All Brad wanted to do is climb, kayak, that kind of thing. [laughs] He always said life was his college. But even though we were different, somehow we always just clicked. Wherever we went, the strangest things happened. Like, the world was there to entertain just the two of us. Even the simplest things were special, as long as we did them together. And no one made me laugh like Brad. [laughs] No one's ever really believed in me like Annalise. And what happened then? She got this great opportunity right after college to work for this high-end event planning company. Brad didn't know what he was going to do in New York, and there's not many mountains to climb in the city. No. But we decided to get our own apartments in New York, and keep dating, and on the day we were supposed to move, he broke up with me. Did he say why? He did, but it didn't really make any sense, and here we are. Do you still have feelings for him? It's over. He made that clear. Yeah, Mick and I broke up in college. Took us 20 years to reconnect. Wow. I... I didn't realize that. Are we interrupting anything? Hi. Absolutely not. Ready to see who sits where? Wow, color-coded and everything. Exciting! Oh, um, this is the schedule that I will be putting in your welcome bags. That's awesome. I will take that as a compliment, especially from a graphic designer. And I will tell you that Annalise took a calligraphy class just so she could handwrite every single one of them. Annalise, it must've taken you forever. I love them. Good. Well, I will write the last few before we do the cake tasting. - Great. - Yeah. [sighs] No! What do you mean? These are delicious! But they're not Milky's Milk Moon Bars. All right, Mister Milky Milk Moon Bars expert, what is missing? I don't know, they just tasted better. Oh. Well, why didn't you tell me that earlier because I was just down at the market and I got a big bottle of better, so if I sprinkle some of that on there and then that'll make everything better. Give me a break here, will you? This is a big day. If we're gonna do Milky Milk Moon Bars, we gotta do it right. [sighs] I order cut Calla lilies for the table arrangement, and I get dozens of Stephanotis in pots instead. Ooh, brownies. Hey. Uh, well these are... Burnt. And nasty. Yeah. And, uh, don't you have a cake tasting in a while? Uh, two hours from now. Oh, well, I mean, given that these are no good, we, uh, we might as well just throw these out. I'll take care of that for you. [sighs] Don't you think Mick is acting a little weird lately? Well, no more than usual. Brought you some lemonade. Thanks, I already have something. Okay. No, wait. Um, this isn't any old lemonade. Is that so? Yeah, this is my special apology lemonade. Apologade. You must not make that very often. No, no, I really don't. Um, but when I do, one sip and you are guaranteed to forget that you were ever mad at me. Hmm. Must be strong stuff. Very. Very strong. I'm sorry. I'm sorry that I called you rigid. And stubborn. Yep, that too. A little lemonade never hurt anybody. Good. Just gonna leave this here and return to my cozy little doghouse. No, no, no, no, no, no, no! Its okay, it's alright. It's alright, I got them. I got it. No, it's okay. [water splurtz] You can read that, right? [laugh-cries] [sighs] [blow dryers whirr] That's gonna work. Let's give it a go. [clears throat] [unintelligible mumbling] Yeah, that works perfectly. You got all that? Mm-hmm. It's not funny. No, it's not funny. It's very serious. Hmm. Well, I'm glad you're entertained. You might remember that I'm very easily entertained. Thank you for saving them. Or at least trying. Yeah, of course. Least I can do after destroying all of them. Okay, um. I guess I'm gonna go for a hike. Hey, Brad? Yeah? So, are we calling a truce? At least for the wedding? Yeah, of course. Let's do that. It's not fair to Jen and Lucas. Exactly. Okay. (All) Hmm. Mmm. This is definitely my favorite part about being a wedding planner. Mm-hmm. I'm voting for the double espresso chocolate cake. I was just going to say that. Seriously? Mm-hmm. We have so much in common. Huh. Maybe we should get married or something. You better get married, I already paid for the florist and the caterer. [message alert] Oh, I gotta run. I'm meeting Brad. What? Uh, he's going to help me get the schedules printed out for the welcome bags. Oh. It's a long story, but don't worry, you will have welcome bags and they will be perfect. So, are... are you and Brad... Yeah, we're doing better. It's not like we're best friends, but, uh, it's silly to hold a grudge, right? Oh, of course. Are you and Jen okay going through the final head counts for the rooms without me? Oh, absolutely. Great, thanks. Just text me if you need anything. Okay, will do. Have fun! I mean, good luck. I mean, with the schedules. Right. Thanks. You know, picking out stationery isn't all it's cracked out to be. You can still back out if you want. Back out? Of stationery picking? I am not dumb, I know a good time when I see one. Okay. You asked for it. Thank you. What is a welcome bag, anyway? Well, it's an important wedding essential given to each and every guest when they arrive. Ergo the name "welcome bag." Exactly. Right. But in keeping with the theme of upscale country, Jen and Lucas's bag will be a small basket. You have my attention, I'm listening. Well, a welcome bag often contains a schedule of the events, small snacks, and in this case, a river rafting coupon. River rafting? What company? Uh, Black River Rafting? We partner with them sometimes. It really is such a small world. Okay, we need to focus please. Yes. Uh, we have schedules to print- Schedules. - And fonts to choose. - Fonts to choose. Fonts are a very important part in setting the tone. Yes, obviously. Wouldn't want to stray from the upscale country theme or people will be wildly confused. I agree completely. (Annalise) Uh, no to Desdemona. (Brad) A big no. (Annalise) Ooh, what about this one? Snell Roundhand? [chuckles] That's very proper, very, uh, erudite, with a slightly effete air. I know. Picture this. [In British accent] Thou art invited to Lord Lucas and Lady Jen's nuptial celebration. High tea to follow. [British accent] Oh. That's way too formal. It's a little formal. Curlz MT. What's that like? Yo, there's a wedding. Yeah, like, come or whatever. Yeah, or whatever. Whatever. Ah. I'm leaning toward Lucinda Script. Yeah, that's good. Not too casual, not too pushy. It's just right. Yeah. It's just right. [acoustic guitar playing] [acoustic guitar playing] Okay. Now we dip? Yep. And then we end... like this. Great first dance rehearsal. I loved it. I'm not much of a dancer. I love the way you dance. Thank you. Do you have a minute? Yeah. Good job guys. It was great. Thanks, Mick. [mischievous music] [laughs] Now that's a Milky Milk Moon Bar. Was that so hard? Oye. [yelps] Hello. Hello. [sighs] So, how did it go with Jen and Lucas? Uh, good. They worked out a nice dance routine. Ah, no kidding? Yeah. Oh, they're so sweet. Yeah, really sweet. [sighs] Well, I got some stuff to do. Oh, what kind of stuff? Oh, you know, just stuff. [sighs] You don't think he noticed, do you? Noticed what? Pictures. You're not going to believe these. Oh, wow. I know. Talk about a blast from the past. Do you have any I could add to the album? I think so. I'll have a look, yeah. Good, good, okay. So, here's my plan. I'm thinking we'd have dinner here, then I'd put on maybe his favorite music, a little candlelight, and then we'll give him his album. But don't you think he'll see you setting up? Well, I thought you could keep him occupied. Well, that's a lot of occupying. Um, what do you think about doing this in the barn? The barn? Yeah, because that way he won't see you getting ready, and at the perfect moment, I bring him down there and you give him the photo album. Hmm. I like that. Yeah. You really don't think Mick's been acting weird lately? Like, just now. He's not doing something, is he? I mean there's no way he could remember a first-date anniversary, right? Oh, I find that very hard to imagine. Okay. [sighs] Right, right, that's... that's perfect. Thanks again. Hey, this is really coming together. Uh-oh, I don't like that look on your face. Get ready, she's asking questions. What? Yeah. [knocks at door] (Olivia) Mick? Yeah? Can I come in? Sure. What are you guys doing? Nothing. Guy stuff. Guy stuff? Yeah, talking sports. Yankees vs the Mets. That's a thing. You're not... What? I mean, is there something I should know about? Like what? Is there something you need to say? Me? No. Never mind. Okay. Okay. She knows. There's no way she knows. You're sure? I'm positive. So how do you like New York? I love it. Oh, good. Glad it all worked out. Thanks. Can't believe you're starting your own business. Yeah, it's crazy. Can we get two coffees, please? Well, it looks like the wedding's going to be a smashing success. I hope so. Are they all destination weddings like this? Well, actually, that's how I'm trying to position myself, you know, my niche. Yeah, that's a good idea. What about your business? Or, I should say businesses. Oh, well, it's going all right. It's going really well, strangely enough. Tell me more. Well, we got nine full-time guys, and ten part-timers. That's a lot. Yeah. Who's your biggest clientele? We do a lot of excursions with private parties, but our main bread and butter is corporate trips. That's great, Brad. Yeah. Who would have thought you could make a healthy living taking people out to have fun. [clears throat] Oh yeah, you did. Mm-hmm. What's it feel like to always be right? Is it nice? Wonderful, actually. Oh, good. Okay. I gotta try it sometime. Do you remember the guy you introduced me to before you left? The one with the advertising agency? Yeah. He's my first client. Turns out he was really into these motivational events for his employees, and he knew a bunch of other companies that were, too. Really? You knew that. Maybe. I knew it. Well, I guess Buckley Adventures has you to thank for being what it is today. No, that's all you, Brad. Seriously, your success doesn't surprise me. It surprised everybody else. Well, then shame on them. Are you dating? Not really. Can't seem to get past the dreaded third date. Lucky if I make it to the third date. You know what, I'm just gonna come out and I'm gonna say it. I am so sorry for breaking up with you on the day that we were moving to New York. That was horrible. Yeah, it was pretty bad. I know. You never did give me a good explanation why you broke up with me. I don't know. Uh, it was a long time ago. You know? Yeah. It was. I heard that you lost six-months rent at that apartment. Served me right. I'm sorry I didn't talk to you for five years. Yeah, that was pretty bad, too. I know. It's nice hanging out like this. Yeah. I really missed you. I missed you too. You did? Of course. It is so stupid that we let all this time go by. I know. And there's no reason why, you know, we can't... Be friends. Friends, yeah. Yeah. Friends would be a good thing. That's a, that's a good thing. I'm sorry this is so last minute, my cousin's not too up on wedding etiquette. It's fine, it happens. What do you think about putting him at the Williams table? - Sure. - Yeah? That works. Okay, great. Oh, have you heard back from the Flannigans? No, sorry. We love them, but that side of the family isn't the best at RSVPing, either. Just count them as a no. Okay. Hey. Getting that seating arrangement figured out? Hey, yeah, it's all set. Good. Listen, how do you think you and Brad would feel about a little fishing tomorrow while the ladies are at their dress fitting? I'm down. I know Brad will be. Thanks, Mick. Okay, they've been gone for three hours. I wouldn't read too much into it. It's a good sign. I don't care what you say. What's a good sign? Jen is convinced that there might be a chance for Brad and Annalise. I know he broke her heart, but now that I've seen her around him, I... Yeah, I don't disagree. See, it's not impossible. Well, I guess love makes anything possible. Well, I can't argue with that. Aww. Let's keep our fingers crossed, then. Hey. Hi, guys. Hi. Did you figure something out for the schedules? Yep. Crisis averted. Are we all set with the seating chart? Yeah, yeah, yeah, we're all done. Great. I'll let the caterer know that we'll have one more. Okay. I'm going to get some rest. I had a good time. Yeah, me too. [quietly] Night. [loudly] Goodnight. Goodnight. Night, Lise. Goodnight, guys. Goodnight. Night, bud. Night. I thought she said she wanted to be friends. She did, she did, but I'm still confused. Why? I can't tell if she said that because that's what she wants, or because that's what she thinks that I want. You're right, that is confusing. Yeah. What do you want? I'm not sure I get a vote, man. Why not? Because I burned her once, Mick. I'm not sure I get a second chance. Trust me, it happens. Yeah, I don't know, I don't really know where she's at. I figure it best to just leave it alone, see what happens. Yeah. That's what I felt with Olivia, too. So I did leave it alone. And then I blinked and 20 years went by. [chuckles] [knocks at door] Knock knock. Oh, hi. You ready for the dress fitting? Oh my gosh, I am so sorry, I must've lost track of time. Oh, it's fine. We still have a few minutes. Are those of you and Mick? Yes. Look at this. [laughs] Oh. Look at you guys. I know, so young. It's funny, when I look at him, I still see the same guy I fell in love with. It's amazing that you guys got back together. Yeah, yeah, it was a long road, but oh, it is amazing. There really is nothing like your first love, is there? No, there isn't. Oh! Ah! I love it. Really? It's perfect. You look beautiful. You think Lucas will like it? How could he not? I've been dreaming about this day since I was a little girl. A few more days. I'm so happy for you. Thanks. Okay. I'll be right out, and it's onto the salon. I can't wait. Are you okay? Yeah, I'm fine. I just thought maybe you were putting on a strong front for Jen. Am I that easy to read? [laughs] Yes. So, is it Brad? We decided to be friends last night. Oh. You don't sound too happy about that. I don't know. I think I still have feelings for him. It's a lot more complicated the second time around, isn't it? How did you two even get back together? It wasn't easy, I'll tell you that. And I was engaged at the time, which made things really difficult. I feel like we're so protected now. It's like we're constantly talking in code or something. Yeah. I remember that, too. But eventually you told him how you felt? Yeah, I did, eventually. Weren't you scared? I was, I was terrified. I mean, why do you think we're not engaged after two years? You're still not sure? Oh no, no, I'm sure now. I mean, I'm just... just saying, it's taken time. I don't know how he feels about me. Ugh. It's a lot to wrap my head around. It is, it is. Maybe you should just take it one step at a time. Yeah, yeah. And the first step is telling him how I feel. Yes. Because if you don't, won't you always wonder? Yeah. Yeah. [sighs] [sports game playing] Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. No, no, no, no, no! Yeah, yeah, yes! Yes! No! He called it. No! I told you he was duped. Hey, guys. Hi. I'm no expert, but this sure doesn't look like fishing to me. [laughs] Fishing didn't really work out. Are you saying that because we didn't catch a single fish? [laughs] Or the fact that somebody fell in trying to catch the fish? No. I never thought that lake water could be so cold in the summer. You look nice. Why thank you, husband to be. Sorry we took so long but after the fitting at the dress shop we just figured we just had to stop off for a mani-pedi, too. Ooh, nice. Ooh. Very nice. Thank you. You got a minute? I want to show you something. Uh, yeah? Good. Let's go. [phone beeps] Uh, Lucas? [laughs] Oh no. Yeah. [laughs] Wow. When did you do all this? I got the lion's share done last night. Last night? When? I don't know. Around 3:00 in the morning? Couldn't sleep. Something on your mind? Yeah, actually. I was hoping that we could talk. Really? Me too, actually. Oh. About what? Uh. Well, you go first. Right, um. Well, I was thinking a lot about what you said about us being friends. Yeah. Hey, sorry, but we, uh, we need to talk. Oh, yeah, what's up? I just heard from my cousin. Yeah, the Flannigan cousin who never RSVP'd? They're coming. Wait, they're? All ten of 'em. I'm so, so, sorry. But first Brandon decided to come, and then Colin decided he'd come because Brandon was coming, and then suddenly all the other cousins are coming too. [laughs] Look, I know you've got the menu and the seating all figured out, but... They're really laid back. I mean, we can just tell them to grab a bite to eat before the reception, that way we don't have to mess up the seating chart, or the caterer. They can bring their own drinks, you know, like BYOB. You know, maybe I'll... I'll just tell them they can't come. No, don't worry. We will figure it out. I... I don't want this to stress you out. It's your wedding. You're the one who shouldn't stress, okay? We will make it work. Didn't I tell you? You're the best. Aww. Really, thank you. No problem. Thanks. Okay. [sighs] So, isn't everyone coming tomorrow? Yeah, mm-hmm. What are you going to do? Not BYOB, that's for sure. [sighs] Were you able to find extra rooms for the Flannigans? Oh, yeah, yeah. Um, so we have six at the Overland B&B, and four at the Hansen's Inn down the road. Great. Would you happen to have two more antique tablecloths? Yes, yes. Thanks for the reminder, I think I do. Perfect. I just got off the phone with the rental place. Oh great, what did they say? Well, they have two tables and ten chairs, but the chairs don't match what we have. [sighs] That's not good. I'm gonna call Party Pros, hopefully they're not all reserved. (Olivia) Yeah. (Annalise) Oh, and I have to call the caterer right away. You know, I'll call Party Pros. Yeah, your plate's full enough as it is. Really? Oh. No problem. Thank you. That's nice. That's so great. What is it? I don't think it's going to work. What are you talking about? The generator. It's broken. Broken? Well, it can't be broken. We have to have the lights. Well then, maybe you can fix it. I'll show you. Now? We're a little busy in case you haven't noticed. (Duke) I know, but we're also running out of time. And I've looked into getting a new generator shipped, but if you need it for the anniversary, it's not gonna make it on time. (Mick) Yes, I need it for the anniversary. That's the whole point. Do you have any suggestions? Don't look over there right now. [laughs] I told you... I told you not to look over there. Sorry. All right, I trust you completely. Will you please handle this? Don't give it another thought. Hi, this is Mick Turner over at the Willow Lake Inn. Yeah, I was wondering if you had any extra chairs for this Saturday. Yeah, I know it's a little short notice. Okay. I'm gonna go look for the table cloths. Thanks. You know, I... I just left a bunch of messages for the caterers, but I hate to do it, but I think I'm going to have to call their private number. That's okay, I mean you don't really have much of a choice. Don't worry, we are going to make it work. I hope so. [sighs] Hi, it's Annalise, um, I hate to call you on your private line, but I've got a hiccup. Yeah, we're going to have ten more people. Yeah, ten. Okay, well, if you could call me as soon as you know, I'd really appreciate that. Thank you, bye bye. Everything okay? Well, the caterer doesn't seem too happy, but what's up? Just checking in, seeing if there's anything I can do. Thanks, but not really. You sure? I could run out and get some hot dogs, beach chairs. Change the theme from upscale country to downscale beach. Hmm. I have a feeling that's not going to work. All right. I'm sure it'll work out, things always do. Uh, I know things always work out for you, but I can't just fly by the seat of my pants. I plan things. I know. But it's not going to help things to get stressed out about it, either. It is what it is. Adding ten more people might not seem like a big deal to you, but it puts a wrench in everything. It's chairs, Lisy. And some tables, and some food. It's not that big of a deal if you don't let it be. Sorry, but I'm not like you. I don't see life like one long day at the park, Brad. It's not one long to-do list, either. [sighs] I'm sorry, I didn't want to stress you out more. No, it's fine. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have some calls to make. Yeah. Mm-hmm. [dialing] I can't... Hi. It's Annalise Collins. I've got a problem. [laughing] Oh my gosh, it's always great getting to meet the parents of the bride and the groom. Well, Jen's had nothing but great things to say about the Inn, and her wedding planners. All true. Oh, thank you, I appreciate it. We have had so much fun working with Lucas and Jen. We're looking forward to taking advantage of the area over the next couple days. We, uh, we love to hike. Oh, you'll have plenty of time to do that before the rehearsal dinner. Great, well, let's uh, check out the welcome party. Follow me. (Olivia) Nice to meet you guys. Have fun. Hi. The welcome party is on the outside patio, and all the events are in the schedule. And most importantly, have fun. [phone buzzes] Oh, if you'll excuse me. This is Annalise. Really? Nothing? Okay. I understand. Thank you. Is everything okay? We still don't have chairs. I hate how last minute this is. Don't worry, though. We will find a place that has everything we need. Well, I hope we find it before it's too late. Annalise. This is, uh... Cameron. Cameron. He was looking for you. Annalise. Great to finally meet you in the flesh. Yes, Cameron. Oh, sorry, Cameron Clarkson. Clarkson Group? We're interested in your new company. Of course. [forced laugh] That's great, you're here. I thought the best way to evaluate your work would be to see it first-hand. I hope you can find room for me at the Inn. Hi, I'm Olivia. Mick and I own the Inn, and we will find you a room no problem. Yeah, no problem at all. Thank you. It's a great venue. Oh, thank you. I'd love to see more. Get the tour, maybe get caught up on your plans for the weekend. Sure. Why don't you help yourself to a drink at the welcome party, and I'll join you in a minute or two? Looking forward to it. Nice meeting you. I can't believe this is happening. Did you know he was gonna be here? I had no idea. I don't have time for this. What, are you kidding? Go do what you need to do. But I have... No, no, no, we will handle it all. Go, go, go. Okay, so we need to divvy up everything that we need to do. All right, give me a list of what you need me to do. Okay. I think I have an idea. We've been very impressed with the other weddings you've been involved with. Thank you. I really do love my work. Hey, sorry to interrupt. I'm Brad Buckley, I'm the best man. Nice to meet you. Nice to meet you, too. This is Cameron, he's interested in my company. Oh, fun. And I was just going to give him a tour of the Inn, so. Great. Did Annalise mention the, um, river rafting coupons she included in all the welcome baskets? Um, no. she hasn't. But I like that idea. Combining a destination wedding with the local events? Thanks, I like the guests to feel like they get a full experience, even beyond the wedding. Exactly. I know I'd love it if I were a guest. Good. Well, uh, how about we go on that tour? The reason I mentioned the, uh, coupon is because I run an expedition company myself. In fact, we partner with Black River Rafting a lot. I'd be happy to take you on a private rafting tour, if you're interested. There's also some really great hiking trails I could show you. River rafting sounds fun, but I hear the hiking is beautiful around here. Oh, it is, Cam. Let me tell you. You know what, we actually have plenty of time today if you want to go for a quick hike. That way we can save the river rafting for tomorrow. If that's okay with you, of course. Absolutely. Good. Why don't you show me around, and we'll talk a little business, and then I'll meet you in an hour? Yeah, sounds good, Cameron. Great. The chairs just got here. Thanks for checking in. Okay, bye-bye. Hey! How was river rafting? Fantastic. Brad was a perfect guide. I can't wait to do it again. I'm so glad. Nicely done. Well, I gotta go get cleaned up. Okay. Thanks. Yeah, it's not a problem. Did you get everything sorted? Yep. Thanks for keeping Cameron occupied. I think you scored me some extra brownie points, too. Good. I'm sorry I was so... Hey, it's okay. I know this whole thing means a lot to you. It's all right. Yeah. It's hard to believe that tonight's the rehearsal dinner already. Feels like it's been such a whirlwind. It has. Okay. I'm going to go get cleaned up, I'll see you tonight. Okay. Uh, Brad? Yeah? Thanks again. I really do appreciate it. Like I said, it's not a problem. I double checked with the caterer. Well, good. What did he say? He said he could cover the ten extra plates, plus one for my investor. Oh, great. Yeah. Looks like everything's working out, believe it or not. Everything? I feel bad. I was just caught up in everything, I didn't give Brad a chance. Don't you think he understands that? I do, but in a way, it just makes it worse. Why? I don't know, Olivia. He said something that really made me think. What's that? Basically that I look at life like a chore, and it just made me realize how different we are. Yeah, but you know what they say. Opposites attract. Yeah, but there's a reason he broke up with me. Maybe it's just not meant to be. Is that what you want? [tearfully] No. But it's like he used to say, you can't force things to happen, no matter how much you want it. Come here. [playing acoustic guitar] [singing under his breath] Hey. That's a cool song, did you write it? Olivia and I wrote that. First song we ever wrote together. Might be the most romantic thing I've ever heard in my life, Mick. [laughs] Yeah. Why did you let Olivia go when you were in college? I'm sorry, that's none of my business. No, it's a good question. I was... I was young and stupid. I guess you could say I was so full of myself, I couldn't see her. I regretted letting go of her for a long time, still do. You're lucky, you know. You guys ended up together even after you broke up. Well, I don't know how much luck has to do with it. What do you mean? Well, we worked at it, you know. It's not always a fairy tale, but there are such things as happy endings. So this may be none of my business, but why did you let Annalise go? I didn't want to. What do you mean? Annalise was so full of dreams and plans. She, uh, wanted to go to New York so bad, and start a career. And I thought that if I went along with her, that I would just hold her back. Did she know that? No. No, no, she really doesn't. Well, you might want to consider mentioning it. It may make a difference. Yeah, but that's kind of the point, though, you know. I, uh, I still don't want to do anything that's going to keep her from what she wants. Well, just a thought. You may want to give her the chance to choose. [laughter] Oh, yeah, yeah... [glass chimes] Uh, this is the part of the night when the wedding party's supposed to get up and make speeches, but I, uh, I thought I'd say something. First of all, I'd like to thank Annalise and Olivia. There they are, still working, I see. [applause] I want to thank both of you for rolling with this crazy, crazy wedding. I mean, the whole experience so far has been fun and full of surprises, and just incredibly beautiful. Which brings me to my almost-husband, Lucas. Before we met, if something happened like, I don't know, having ten guests unexpectedly show up? I love you, Flannigan clan. [cheering] Whooo! Yeah. But honestly, if that happened before I met you, it would've completely thrown me. I wouldn't have been able to just be in the moment and enjoy one of the most special days of my life. Lucas, I want you to know I'm a better person with you in my life. You really taught me that if we have each other, all the other stuff is just details. So why get too caught up in them? So, thank you for changing my life. Thank you for being my life. I truly believe that everything that's ever happened to me, the good and the bad, has brought me to you, and you to me. So, to love. (All) To love. To love. To love. That was some speech Jen made. Yes, it was. You know, I've been wanting to thank you. For what? Well, you, you helped me see something. I did? Yeah, you reminded me just how happy I am that Mick and I could put our past away and move forward. So, you're saying we should too. I know it's scary. But... There's no but. Falling in love is always a risk, but in the end, what other choice do you have? Hey. You look pretty. You look beautiful. Look at her dress. Precious. [organ plays "Here Comes the Bride"] Congratulations. Thank you, sir. - Congratulations. - Thank you. I love you dear. Hi. Please, be seated. Good afternoon, everyone. (All) Good afternoon. Jen, Lucas, thank you for giving us the opportunity for celebrating love. Thank you for reminding us that there is no higher calling, no greater comfort, no greater success than loving well and deeply. With that, let us begin. And now, by the power vested in me, it is my true pleasure to pronounce you husband and wife. [cheering and applause] Ladies and Gentlemen, may I introduce for the first time, Jen and Lucas Donovan. [cheering and applause] [crowd gasps] [laughs] Don't say it. I wasn't even thinking it. No problem. Okay. [applause] [clink] Best wedding ever. Hands down. Congratulations. Annalise, your wedding was wonderful. It embodied everything our group loves about your company. Thank you so much, I really appreciate that, but it was a team effort. Well, the weekend went absolutely perfect. Besides the wedding arch. [laughs] It only added to the charm. I'm going to send my recommendation on Monday. I think this is going to be the beginning of a long and very profitable relationship. Thank you. Enjoy. Goodnight. [squeals excitedly] Congratulations. I'm so proud of you. I don't know what to say. Well, don't say anything, just relax and enjoy your own party. Yes. Speaking of which, Mrs. Donovan, may I have this dance? I'd be delighted, Mr. Donovan. You two actually pulled this off. We all did. Thank you for everything. No, thank you. Okay, boys I'm going to head inside, okay, see you soon. And now I think there's someone I need to talk to. Yeah. Think they'll work it out? Oh, I hope they do. You know, I am really glad that we did. Have I told you that lately? Not lately. Not that I can remember. I'm glad. Really glad. That makes two of us. Hey. Hey, what's up? [sighs] Are you okay? Yeah. I just thought I would take this opportunity to congratulate you on successfully completing your best man duties. Thank you. I think I nailed the ring handoff. Oh, second to none. And this wedding planning is top-notch. Yeah. Brad, I owe you an apology. No, no, you really don't. No, just. Let me get this out. Um, you were right about me. I was? The last five years, all I've done is work. My life has been one big to-do list without you. There's something I need to tell you, too, um... I never wanted to let you go, I... I never wanted to, uh, break up. What? I thought that if you stayed with me, that you wouldn't be able to pursue your dreams the way that you wanted to. That's why you didn't come to New York. We could've talked about that. I didn't want you to look back in 20 years and regret not going after the thing that you cared about most. Brad? All I've ever wanted was to be with you. I can't believe you kept that after all this time. Yeah, love will make you do stupid things. What did you say? I love you. You do? Lisy, I have loved you since the day that you took me out at home plate. I've never stopped loving you. [crying] I'm warming up to the idea of moving to New York. What? Got an office there, you know. You would do that for me? It makes zero sense to let geography get in the way. I know that now. Finally. [laughing] Uh... I'll be... I'll be right back. One sec. Hey, Duke. Is everything set for tomorrow? Uh, we should be good. Uh-huh. What do you mean, "should be"? Uh, he is looking over here right now, so you might want to... Yeah, okay, I got it. Everything okay? Yeah, perfect. Yeah? Perfect. It's been fun, folks. If you guys are ever interested, I've got a killer glamping tour that you might like. Glamping. Well, I'm game if you are. I am. Glamping's right up my alley. Well, we should all go when you come back from your honeymoon. Yes, and thanks again for everything. It was amazing. Well, you guys have a great trip. Bye, Mick. Uh... [laughs] Okay, bye Olivia. Bye. Thank you so much for everything. Thanks for everything. We did it, yes! We did it! [sighs] Everything's set? Yep. Are you ready? Yes. Oh. I can't see, it's dark. Sorry. I should've brought a flashlight. Here. This is perfect and I will be right back. [sighs happily] Funny meeting you here. Mick. What is all this? It's beautiful. Glad you like it. Have a seat. Oh my goodness. Is this the blanket your mother made you for college? How'd you guess? Don't sit on the Mick, that's my spot. [laughs] Oh, wow. This is amazing. First class. Wait till you taste the wine. Here's to old memories, and making new ones. Cheers. Cheers. [coughs] Mick. Tastes like the wine we drank in college. You've got to be kidding me. Where did you find this? I thought they discontinued it. I can say after extensive research that Thunderbolt Rose is available in certain drugstores in two different cities in Oklahoma, Vinita and Ada, in case you want to know. [laughs] Okay, thank you for that. I'll, uh, I'll be sure to remember that next time I'm passing through Oklahoma. I hope you're hungry, because I've got some mighty fine cuisine on the menu. You know me well. Mmm. Mmm. Wait a minute. I know what that is. It's a... (together) Milky Milk Moon Bar. [laughs] Oh my gosh, it's so good. And this basket, it's just like the one I had in college. Yes, it is. And this, this is the picnic from our first date. You remembered every detail. It's not something a guy easily forgets. Or a girl. Here. This is for you. You remembered too? Of course I did. What is this? Oh, what... Oh, look at this. I know. This is incredible, I love this. Where did you get all these? I've saved them for the last 25 years. Box of photos went with me everywhere I moved. Duke added a few, too. [laughs] Oh, there's the picnic. Just like this. Do you remember that we wrote our first song together that night? Do I remember that? Do you remember? I don't know if I remember the words. Well, let's see. We've got the right key to mend the wrong direction The right dreams waking up too fast It's a long road full of good intentions Whoa, if we take it, I know we can make it last [sighs] Thank you. This is perfect. Almost perfect. Mick. Come on. It's time. Our time. You've always been the best parts of my past, and I know you'll always be the best part of my future. [exhales] I love you. Olivia? Will you marry me? I love you so much. Does that mean yes? Yes. Yes. It's so beautiful. |
