Stop that. There's no bouncing in this
assignment.

She's just excited. She's never been to
a wedding before.

But I've done a lot of research on the
wedding ritual.

Oh, you have?

Yes, I read 47 books on the subject
yesterday.

Asked me anything.

Etiquette, customs and traditions,
popular musical selections, the great

over floor length versus tea length
before six.

Do you know who that is?

Got it. Got it. No.

That's the bride.

She's read a lot of books on weddings,
too.

Not one of them is going to help her
now.

Welcome to the Peary Hotel, Miss
Williams. Thank you. I faxed an

I have a copy right here. And have
copies been given to your staff?

Yes.

And are the packets ready for when the
guests arrive?

Yes. Here's some more, just in case.

I'll be upstairs in my room. Could you
let Carla know that I'm here?

Oh, Carla isn't on the property at the
moment.

But I could have the manager take care
of anything you need.

Fine. I'll be up to it.

Liz has been planning every detail of
her wedding since she was a little girl.

And now it's finally happening.

Yes.

You see, Gloria, most single women,
whether they admit it or not, have been

carrying around a blueprint of the
perfect wedding filed in their hearts

years. But when they grow up and it
finally arrives, the blueprint usually

to change and sometimes quite radically.

Why? Because of the one thing they never
quite factored in.

The groom.

Hi, honey.

So?

So?

What?

Flowers. Didn't you get them?

Oh. You mean these? These...

Absolutely gorgeous flowers with the
note, I love you beyond words, forever,

That was you?

When I get there, I'm going to kiss you
to death.

So you're on your way to the airport?

Yep, right on schedule.

How'd it go today?

Good, I sold six systems.

I could have lined up two more if I'd
had another hour. Oh, well, you don't.

Check your itinerary.

Yeah, I know.

I'm going to take the 115 flight, arrive
at DC around 210.

And then what? I sit around for five
hours while you have the final fitting

oversee the flower arrangements and the
place setting for the rehearsal dinner?

Yeah, that's right. You get to rest
until the rehearsal at 7 .30.

So in other words, stay out of the way.

Just relax.

Save your strength for the important
things.

How are you coming on your list?

The tux is in the trunk, the ring is in
my pocket, my hair is cut, and I had my

shoes shined by a former Marine.

Then all you got to do is show up.

Hope I can handle it.

You can handle anything.

I love you.

I love you, too. I'll see you soon.

Hey, Andrew, can you take me back to the
convention center, please?

What about your flight?

Yeah, there's another one that leaves at
3 .40. That'll get me in before 5.

There's plenty of time.

You sure?

Yeah, I might as well take care of some
business while I have the time.

I'll make it worth your while if you
wait for me.

All right.

She's sewing a horseshoe onto her dress
for luck.

Oh, dear.

I read that people get very
superstitious about weddings.

They do all sorts of things to make sure
everything goes right.

Ow!

Superstitions don't ruin weddings,
Gloria.

People do.

And I will walk with you.

I'll walk with you till the sun don't
even shine.

Walk with you every time I tell you I'll
walk

with you.

Believe me, I'll walk with you.

Hattie, you downstairs?

No, I'm still in Philadelphia, but...
What?

It's 2 .30. You're supposed to be here
by now.

Yeah, but I changed to a later flight.

Oh, why?

I went back and made another sale.

Don't worry.

I'll still be there before anyone else.

Well, okay.

You're biting your lower lip right now,
aren't you?

Maybe.

That's one of my favorite things about
you.

Hey, you think you can fit me in
between, say, 7 .15 and 7 .25 and I can

do that in person?

Very funny.

What time is your flight?

3 .40.

Okay. Do you remember to pack your
shoes?

Yep. Is that right with my tux?

Um, I gotta go. I love you.

Did you forget this?

You saved my life.

Thanks. Got your drink?

Sure.

Good

afternoon,

Miss Williams.

My name is Ted, and I'm the temporary
general manager of this hotel.

Hello. And this is Monica.

She's the temporary food and beverage
director.

And this is Gloria. She's the temporary
special events coordinator.

I... Oh, please, come in.

So, what happened to Jerry and Carla
and... What was your name?

Kevin. They were all unexpectedly
promoted to our new facility in Florida.

We're the transition team.

Great. Biggest weekend of my life and I
get the transition team?

Oh, you're in great hands, Miss
Williams.

And if you need anything from me, just
call the front desk.

Actually, Tess, there is one thing.

When I came in downstairs, there was a
man sitting on the sidewalk with a

grocery cart.

Jerry said that he'd take care of things
like that for me before the guests

arrive.

It's being taken care of. Don't worry.

Well, your flowers arrived.

I believe that you specified white roses
and lily of the valley, but why don't

we compare our list to your master list?

The bride keeps the master list, while
the groom gets the index card.

Aha.

Tux, haircut, shoeshine, rings show up.
So little to do, so much time. And yet.

You almost blew it.

Don't figure.

Number 77?

Yes, I gave the band the playlist.
They've rehearsed everything, and

ready.

78.

Oh, yeah, we had some late RSVP, so
we're going to need to get another table

the reception.

You didn't get one from Aunt Meg, did
you?

Margaret Whittington Carlisle?

No Carlisle.

79.

So I guess the only thing left to do is
to show up on time.

Yeah, my fifth and final duty.

It's an awesome responsibility.

Ouch.

What? Sarcasm.

So?

So maybe it's none of my business, but
it seems to me if you're feeling left

of the wedding, how are you going to
feel in the marriage?

You know, apples and oranges, Andrew.

Girls fantasize about weddings.

Guys just fantasize about girls.

Yeah, but, uh, I mean, you never really
ever thought about your wedding at all?

Yeah, I don't know.

Yeah, maybe, a little.

But not like Liz.

It's a girl thing, you know?

They were dressing up in high heels and
putting lace tablecloths over their

heads while we were outside building
forts.

This master list of hers is almost 30
years old.

Who am I to argue with that?

Besides, all the suggestions I had were
apparently all wrong.

Hmm. That's her dream.

I just want to make her happy.

That's a good start.

I better get to my gate.

Thanks for everything.

Sure.

Oh, hey, excuse me.

Yeah, do you have any of those little
umbrellas they put in fruit drinks?

Yeah, let me take a look.

Liz loves those things.

She likes to twirl them.

Open and close until they break.

What can I say? It must be through love.

Yeah.

Hey, I hope that you have a long and
happy marriage.

Take care.

Thanks. Thanks a lot. Sure.

Oh, no.

I know. I don't know how we're going to
do both this and this.

I'll take care of it.

Stuart!

There you are.

Getting cold outside, huh? Well, there's
some warm coffee in the back.

And, Stuart, there's something I want
you to do for me.

Something like that that can ruin a
wedding.

Hello!

Lily, darling!

Or something like that.

He took two trains and a bus, but I am
here.

Aunt Meg.

Oh.

You know, my invitation never arrived.

Really? Can you believe it?

But don't worry, I'm sure all the other
ones got delivered.

Hello, Margaret Whittington Carlyle.
Call me Aunt Meg.

We're all family, after all.

Hello, Aunt Meg.

Monica and Gloria.

Well, aren't those nice names for hotel
workers?

We should get you checked in, Aunt Meg.

Oh, lovely.

You better get here soon. Aunt Meg just
sewed up. Well, there's a problem.

Oh, God, you missed your flight.

Not exactly.

The flight's canceled because of a
storm.

What storm? There's no storm here. Has
anybody heard anything about a storm?

Oh, darling, haven't you looked outside
lately?

There's a dilly of a blizzard headed
this way.

Look.

Oh, Jonas, no.

It's here.

Oh, it's going to be a mess out there
tonight.

Liz,

I'm going to work it out.

How? You said there are no rental cars.

Oh, God.

They just put down the airport here,
too.

They're diverting planes.

Nobody's getting in tonight.

Nobody.

I will.

Remember that blizzard during the New
Hampshire primaries? That didn't stop

did it?

That's because we were together.

Well, we don't have to be together.
It'll be a team, baby.

Trust me.

I will be there in six, maybe seven
hours.

She's still gonna miss the rehearsal
dinner.

Along with everybody else.

I cannot believe this is happening.

I know.

Me either.

But it's gonna be okay. I promise.

Okay. You call me?

Hey.

I love you.

I love you too.

I have 24 Cornish hens sitting in a
warming oven.

I don't know what to tell you. There'll
be two people at the rehearsal dinner,

Martin.

Well, it's just for work and work and
work.

Me, Aunt Meg, and 24 chickens.

Hello? Mom!

Where are you?

Well, the National Weather Service is
predicting that the storm won't let up

until sometime tomorrow night.

There's a lot of things we need to do
before then.

I know you do, Mom. Everybody does.

I love you.

Where is your mother?

She and Daddy were diverted to
Poughkeepsie.

Everybody thinks we should have had the
wedding in New York in the summertime.

But Jonas and I met in this room.

Oh, I didn't know that.

Oh, yeah.

Yeah, we were both volunteers working
for an advance party on a political

campaign. We shook hands and said hello
right here.

I couldn't get over how...

Three hours. He knew the name of every
person in the room, but he still

figure out how to read a train schedule.

So when I knew we'd make the perfect
team, our candidate didn't win.

But we did.

I thought I was going to die

out there.

That's never going to happen, baby.

Get down.

They record my thoughts on VHS and sell
them at Blockbuster.

Why are we doing this?

Okay, now you just basically stand there
while the minister speaks for about a

half hour.

That's assuming he can get out of his
driveway. And then he'll say something

like, if anyone has reason why these two
people should not be married, let him

speak now or forever.

Oh, oh.

Do you really want to do that one?

Yeah, it's traditional.

Why?

Well, it comes from the days when women
were actually considered chattel.

Anyone who answered that question was
more likely making a financial claim on

his property than objecting to the
union.

It's the same reason why the bride
always stands to the left of the groom.

groom stole the bride.

From neighboring peasants. So he had to
keep his right arm free to hold his

sword in case he had to kill any of her
relatives.

Gloria.

Not that any of that's happening here.

Why don't we just skip to the music?

Well, except the soloist would have to
be singing from the concourse at

LaGuardia Airport.

Unless somebody else knows how to sing.

Farmer's Almanac said it was supposed to
be beautiful all weekend.

You never could have predicted this.

Yeah, but I could have avoided it.

I didn't have to take that extra
meeting, but I did.

That. My pleasure.

Where are you?

I'm in a taxi, but we're not out of
Philadelphia yet.

There's roads closed all over the place.

Maybe we should push this thing to
Sunday.

What?

Excuse me, but you only had five things
to do for this thing.

Didn't make it snow, Liz.

No. You had to squeeze in one more
meeting, didn't you?

Well, look, if you want to toss blame
around, here's a question.

Why didn't we have the wedding in New
York, where we live?

You know why.

Yeah, I do, because it's not what you
wanted.

Even if we had the wedding in New York,
you still would have snuck in one more

meeting. Because you always resented my
dream.

You wanted to mess this up for me.

For you?

My God, how could I have been so stupid?

You don't even want to be married. You
just want to have a wedding. Does it

matter who it's with? Or do you just
want someone to bounce an I do off of?

Well, find someone else, because maybe I
don't.

Wait, Jonas, no.

Jonas.

Liz.

He told me to find another groom.

Well, there you go. It's always
something.

You're both upset.

You need to talk to him.

He didn't mean it, did he?

He'll be here. He just... He didn't mean
it.

Did you mean all that?

That you just said to her?

Yeah, I did.

You know, I didn't see it before, but
she's basically very selfish.

Love is blind, Andrew, but this time I
see it all.

Love isn't blind, Jonas.

Real love sees everything, and loves
anyway.

I like it. It's not real love.

I want you to take me back to New York.

Turn around, Andrew. I want to go home.

Jonas, come on.

Well, the storm is a sign.

It's not a sign. It's a storm.

I mean it.

I don't care what it costs. Will you do
it?

Taking people where they gotta go is a
job.

Good.

I'm gonna get some sleep.

Wake me if, uh... If what? If she calls?

No.

You get tired.

I'm sorry, Jonas. I love you. Please
call me.

Keeps going to voicemail.

Your cousin Jane just called. All of
your relatives from Chicago are still

sitting on the tarmac.

She's not sure when they're going to get
out.

Jane's my maid of honor.

I'm so sorry, Liz.

We were going to sit up all night in our
pajamas with the other girls, painting

our toenails and watching old movies and
laughing.

It's half the fun of getting married,
you know.

Sharing it with the people you love.

You think this is bad?

Well, I was once at a wedding on a tuna
boat.

And, well, this was during El Nino,
okay?

And everybody was seasick.

People were pushing and shoving just to
try and get near the side of the boat so

that they could... Please, Aunt Meg.

What?

I'm just saying. I mean, there's always
something goes wrong at a wedding. It's

better to get it over with now.

Tomorrow the storm will pass. People
will get on their planes. Your guests

arrive. And you and Jonas will be
married.

I mean, assuming that he still wants to.

He will be here, Liz. He will.

I hope so.

I love him so much.

Welcome to the Perrier Hotel.

Around the corner, through the doors,
down the boiler room.

Did someone say lumber party?

I don't know.

There's something about Rocky Road.

I've always been able to eat the entire
pint, but I don't ever think I've eaten

that much. Oh, my God.

When I was a kid, oh, I could eat.

Is this really necessary?

Yes.

It's for a good cause.

Not to mention, you really do need to
hydrate those pores.

I beg your pardon.

No, go on.

Oh, no, it's boring. I'd really much
rather hear your life stories.

Oh, well, uh... Why don't you go first?

Oh, okay.

Um, I grew up poor.

Really poor.

We even lived in our car for a few
weeks.

Once and then...

When we did find a place to live, we had
to leave the heat off in the winter.

I wore hand -me -downs. I never had
anything that was my own.

Kids at school never let me forget it.

My dad worked a lot of odd jobs.

For a while, he worked as a dishwasher
in this hotel in Manhattan, and I used

love to go there because they catered a
lot of weddings.

And I'd peek through the kids' door, and
I'd watch the guests with their

champagne.

And their fancy drinks with the little
umbrellas in them.

And I'd watch the bride floating across
the floor in this beautiful dress.

Carrying flowers.

Everybody loving her.

Everybody standing up when she went
past.

They treated her like a princess.

And I decided I was going to be treated
like a princess one day, too.

Even if it was for just one night.

Why hasn't he called me?

Maybe you should try calling him again.

Hey, wake up.

We're here.

How long did I sleep?

Where are we, downtown?

What is... What is it? We're in D .C.

Yep. I told you I wanted to go to New
York.

And I told you that I was going to take
you where you needed to be.

I don't want to be here, Andrew.

Who do you think you are?

I'm an angel.

What does that mean?

It means I'm an angel. It means that God
sent you an angel tonight to help you

get to where you needed to be. This is
impossible.

Let me ask you a question, okay?

Why did you go back to that convention
center?

I thought I had time to make another
sale.

I don't know.

She made you mad, didn't she?

She's been making you mad for months
now, the way she's been planning this

wedding. I mean, she gives you five
things to do, and then she doesn't even

trust you to do them.

So you went back there to show her that
you are still in control.

She's just so organized.

Yeah, and that's what you love about
her. It's why you're such a good team.

You know, you're the salesman. You're
the guy who works on instinct, and she's

the detail person.

You count on her to make those lists,
so...

Why blame Liz for doing what she does so
well on the most important day of her

life when you know, you know that you
could not do this any better yourself?

How do you know this?

I didn't tell you any of this stuff.

I told you. I'm an angel.

You know, you're a crackpot.

And I'm getting out of here. Hey, Jonah,
don't do this. You're going to freeze

up there.

Well, I'll take my chances.

Yeah, I need a taxi. I'm at the corner
of 10th and Exeter. 10th and Exeter.

Yeah. Okay, thanks.

Hello?

Jonas?

Jonas, thank God.

Liz. Don't worry, Jonas.

Wait.

Liz, I can barely hear you.

No, Liz, honey, we have to talk about
this.

Jonas. I can't talk right now.

I gotta go.

Are you Andrew?

Yeah. I'm Stuart.

Tess sent me.

Give me a hand.

All right.

Jonas? Good morning, Ms. Williams.

Is your wake -up call?

Thank you.

Blizzard lightening up, Laura?

Unfortunately, Rick, it doesn't look
like it. The whole northeast here is

pummeled with snow.

Got him.

Thank you.

Yeah, that's great.

But just remember that the champagne
glasses go on a tray, not directly on a

tablecloth.

I'm watching people set up for my
wedding, and I really don't think

going to be one.

Oh, but if he's just right downstairs...
She's just not ready for it yet, baby.

Thank you.

Monica, the airports are closed. Jonas
has obviously left me. I really don't

the point in this.

Well, we should carry on here until we
do see the point.

Well, your mother called.

And they're not coming, right?

Nobody's coming, Aunt Meg. Jonathan
isn't even coming. It's over.

Well, this is a disaster. I can't tell
you.

And I've been to some rotten weddings.

But you are losing tens of thousands of
dollars here, right down the toilet.

Have you even thought about that? God,
Aunt Meg, can you please just shut up?

Why are you even here?

What are you doing here?

You don't belong here!

This is exactly why I don't like to go
to weddings.

There's always so much tension.

My God, I can't take it anymore.

If not your Aunt Meg, may I come in?

Why?

Something wrong with the prime rib?

Not enough china for the play settings?
Or did that wino steal all the shipping?

There's no problem with the reception,
Liz.

I'm sorry, Monica. I'm sorry.

Everything's ruined. It's over.

And I just wanted... You just wanted to
be a princess.

To feel loved and celebrated for one
perfect day.

Everybody wants that on their wedding
day.

Perhaps.

But God doesn't want you to feel
celebrated and loved for just one day of

life. He wants you to feel that every
day. Because he loves you so much.

And you already are a princess, Liz.

You're a child of the king. He just
didn't know it.

What's happening?

I am an angel.

What? An angel sent by God with a
message for you.

From the moment you met Jonas, you knew
that you wanted him to be your partner

for the rest of your life.

It is God's gift that you found each
other.

But instead of thanking God, you ignore
them.

Things were never perfect in a marriage,
Liz.

There'll always be snowstorms or missed
plane flights or something else to

change your plans and dreams.

But that's when you have a choice.

To turn on each other or turn to each
other.

And together ask God for his guidance.

But you didn't do that.

No, I didn't.

And now it's too late, isn't it?

I don't know if it's too late for you to
marry Jonas. I honestly don't know.

But I do know that it's never too late
to stand before the throne of God.

and seek his mercy, and ask him to do
something powerful in your life.

You may not know it, but you haven't
been planning for a wedding all these

years. You've been planning for a
miracle.

The miracle that occurs when God takes
two people and makes them one.

But even if the miracle of marriage
doesn't happen here tonight,

God still wants to perform a miracle
through you if you will let him.

I don't know. There are many ways to
demonstrate love, Liz. A wedding is

just one of them.

But you have everything that you need
here and now to take your love and let

multiply it.

Because whenever two or more are
gathered together in his name, he will

there.

And that is the greatest miracle of all.

Two or more?

Many more.

Come on with me.

Monica, we tell Martin that dinner will
be at seven.

Really? I can't go up there, Andrew.

Why not?

Because I've ruined everything.

I've wrecked her whole dream. Thousands
of dollars she's saved up all her life

for this one night, and she's up there
with a bunch of homeless people.

I've ruined her.

I should have been here.

Jonas, you are here.

Here we go. Anyone care for some
sparkling cider?

Hey, careful you don't spoil your
appetite. There's much more to come.

More cider for you?

Yes, please. Thank you.

It's wonderful, Gloria.

All you.

We sell them at Blockbuster.

Let's see.

Stuart, thank you so much. You did a
very good job.

You've got a talent for leadership. You
should develop that.

I'm Reb.

It's been years.

Thank you.

I wanted to say how wonderful it is that
you're all here.

This evening was shaping up to be a
disaster, but it turned into a blessing.

Thanks to Monica and Gloria and Tess,
Stuart, and,

well, thanks to God.

I was supposed to be getting married
this evening.

But a few things fell through.

First of all, I could have done without
the weather.

But mostly... I made a lot of mistakes.

My fiancé isn't here tonight because...
It's not because of the storm.

It's... It's because I...

I kind of left him out.

And he saw that and he...

I'm

sorry.

I really am having a wonderful time.

I am. I just... I think you're all
wonderful.

And I am so glad that we're all here.

Together. Safe.

Warm.

Together.

Cheers.

All these years,

All that money.

Everything she dreamed about, she ended
up just giving away.

She's quite a beautiful woman.

She's more beautiful than ever.

Love can do that to a person.

She's made mistakes, too.

She knows that.

She, um... She met an angel tonight,
too.

So if you really are an angel, then tell
me something.

What's that?

How do people stay married?

That's what God wants to teach you both.

One day at a time.

If you let him.

Sir, are you leaving? There's plenty of
food.

I was going to save a plate for my
fiancé just in case he got here.

Donuts?

What happened to you?

I'm all right. I'm okay.

Actually, I'm not.

Liz, I'm sorry.

I am so sorry.

I love you so much.

Listen, I don't have my tux, or the
ring, or even my own shoes, but I'm

And I want to marry you.

And if you say yes, I'll give you all
these little umbrellas.

I just want to be with you forever.

So is there going to be a wedding?

Not tonight, but soon, Gloria.

Well, there you are.

I'm glad you're here. There's somebody
I'd like you to meet.

Really? Mm -hmm.

Aunt Meg.

I think you're going to love her.
