I got a letter from Grandma.

She's still in Africa.

Isn't she something!

I mean everybody says they want to help other people.

She's actually out there doing it.

I think you were a lot like her.

I want to tell you that I am getting married sweety.

I don't know if you can hear me or not, but ...

I had to come out here and say it out loud.

He's a good man Petey.

and he loves me.

and he's got a little boy about your age

that you 'd have been such a good big brother to.

The wedding is tomorrow

and I'll be thinking about you all day.

And then they live in Ohio so

I'll be moving there as soon as I get the house sold.

It's going to be so hard to say goodbye.

The house is all I have left of you kiddo.

Oh, that reminds me

I didn't know where to send these

but I figure you can pass them along somehow.

I love you so much.

and I always will.

And you 're going to be there with me tomorrow.

I know it.

I know it.

Bye-bye. Bye-bye, sweet baby.

When you walk down the road

every burden every load

I will rise and I will 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.

The dress rehearsal is today. Hope you can make it! Love Audrey!

It's so nice that she remembered us.

Yes it is.

I've never forgotten her.

Excuse me.

Hi, I hope you don't mind. Celine said I could just walk in.

So Tess we are going to a wedding

but it's just a wedding, right?

That's right! We are just invited guests.

This is not our assignment.

I wish that Gloria could come too.

She would love meeting Audrey.

Well she might still get a chance.

More to the right.

More down, down, that's perfect.

Gloria, did you add three names to the guests list?

No!

Oh, Carla. I did.

Monica, Tess and Andrew?

Yeah, it's a long shot, I don't know if they'll come.

We wouldn't have missed it!

-You look beautiful. -Thank you.

Congratulations!

Oh, it's so good to see you guys!

You got your invitations.

Yes, we are so happy for you!

Thank you.

So where is Mr. Ryte?

Well let me introduce you.

This is Scott's son, Kyle.

-Hi, Kyle, -Hi.

And Scot's dad, George.

Old time we got meet somebody from Audrey's side.

So where is Scot?

Right behind you.

Oh, Scot honey.

I want to introduce you to some old friends.

-This Monica -Hello.

Hello.

-Andrew. -Hi.

-And this is Tess. -Hello.

So how do you know Audrey?

It's a long story.

When Petey was sick they sort of helped me out.

They are special friends and they have come a long way.

Welcome!

Pretty much everybody here is Scott's family

they all came in from Ohio so tomorrow you're my family.

In fact I was wondering

Andrew if you'd walk me down the aisle.

I'd be honored!

Hi everybody!

Now that's a tie.

-You think so? -Yeah! Handsome!

Herby, this is Monica Andrew and Tess.

Herby is Scott's best friend and he'll be marrying us tomorrow.

Yeah, I just ordained this morning on the internet.

Oh we should probably

run through over it again just to make sure we get it right.

Kyle, do you want to help me with lighting the candles?

Sure.

-Andrew you are with me. -Yes, ma'am.

Is it just me or did you expect

to hear Scott say he had heard a lot about us?

She hasn't told him.

Hey, what are you guys doing here?

Audrey invited us, she's an old friend.

She's my assignment.

I'm supposed to get Audrey to say, "I do".

Oh, is she having seconds thoughts?

But no, I don't think so.

Well, but you know ... Scott ...

Gloria, this is Alex.

He's the manager here.

Oh, hi!

I just have a couple questions about parking tomorrow.

-Do you mind? -No, not at all!

Ok, I need the bridesmaid and the groomsman

at the top of the stairs.

Where is the maid of honor?

Where is Cornelia?

I'm here!

Oh, you guys made it!

So good to see you, how are you?

We are fine Celine.

Oh, I don't go by Celine anymore

I decided to be a fashion designer and Cornelia fits better.

You know like Gucci, Shannel Cornelia.

Oh, fashion designer.

I even designed Audrey's wedding dress.

Wait till you see, you're going to die.

Well, not you.

-Cornelia. -I'm coming.

We'll talk later.

Wow, she has changed!

She must be 16 now.

I can't believe how grown up she is.

So you changed your name from Cornelia to Celine.

Wouldn't you?

Do you speak any French?

Only in France.

They speak French in Canada.

Celine Dion is from Canada.

She speaks French sometimes.

A music lover, ha?

So you're going to rent the room?

Well I am not sure yet.

They won't hear you.

Petey is taking a nap and Audrey probably has her headphones on.

We'll just go right in.

Come on.

It's Ok, I practically live here.

Ok, at this point, I'll ...

I'll ... oh here we are, yeah.

I'll welcome everyone and announce the purpose of our gathering

which is to witness a joining of Scott and Audrey in marriage.

What is a marriage?

A marriage is a union

an agreement between two people

whom ... uh

then I'll say do you Audrey take Scott to be your lawfully wedded husband

to promise to stand by him to encourage him in sickness and health

joy and sorrow for as long as you both shall love

now don't say "I do" that will wait until tomorrow

tomorrow is when you say the real "I do"

because then you'll really be married, so just..

and then I'll say something like

these witnesses even the universe has heard your expression of love

and your agreement to live in marriage

so we join in the celebrating the, blah, blah, blah ....

by the power that is invested in me

I now pronounce you Mr. and Mrs. Scott Morgan.

As long as they both shall love???

The Universe has heard you!

Yeah, that's what I was going to tell you, earlier.

Scott is an atheist!

You were great!

Yeah, but how was I?

-And you were great. -You mean it?

I mean it!

Is there anything you want me to change?

-Not a thing. -Not a thing at all?

-Oh, hi Monica. -Audrey, may I ask you a question?

Sure.

Why wasn't God mentioned in your wedding vows?

Oh, that!

Look Monica, I know what you're saying

but Scott and I have an understanding.

Believe me it's not a problem.

That may not seem a problem now but...

Can we talk about this later?

I am just so glad that you are here.

You know Monica, I am an old choir boy from

St. Michaels Bag and Poughkeepsie.

And I must say that ceremony seemed a bit off to me too.

Whatever happened to God?

I don't think God was invited.

Well, look on the bright side, Monica

at least we are going to get some great food.

Food! Oh dear, ah ... Could you excuse a minute?

Thank you.

Andrew.

Did you notice somewhere on the invitation

where it says something like a rehearsal dinner?

Yeah, it's in like 15 minutes?

Oh no, it's not because I didn't plan it.

What am I going to do?

Plan B. We're gonna need two things

the banquet manager and a miracle.

Well the room is yours if you like it

but we are completely unprepared to serve a meal.

That's alright, we can handle it from here Mr. Waters.

Yes, ma'am.

What do I do?

The wedding party is on the way.

There is really one thing to do now.

Father,

we thank you for your abounding that we are about to receive.

Amen.

Thank you.

Dinner is served.

So how did your dad meet Audrey?

It was in one of those meetings for people who used to drink and stuff.

Yeah, like an AA meeting.

Yeah! Yeah!

Audrey saw me take a bunch of cookies off the table in the back

She asked if I could share them with someone back there.

So I did it.

Then my dad came over and started talking and stuff.

She never ate her cookie.

So I ate it.

And now look they are getting married.

What if I mess up lighting the candles tomorrow?

It will be fine.

Hey partner we'd better dance. -Ok.

She avoiding me Andrew.

Monica, you know people fall in love

and they just ignore everything that doesn't quite fit.

Frankly, I think if there is another question we should be asking.

Who has she actually fallen in love with.

Doesn't Kyle remind you of somebody?

Oh, he's awake. He wants to meet you.

-Hi!

There's something else you need to know.

You can't get cystic fibrosis from germs or kissing people

you have to be born with it and you see his mom

she has to do that twice a day

or else the mucous and stuff in his lungs gets really thick

and then he can't breath.

Ok, done.

So you still want to live here?

Absolutely.

-What's this? -Nothing.

I was just making a list.

And checking it twice?

It's a list of things I've got to do before I die.

Everybody should have one of these.

No, it's stupid.

I don't think so.

Do you mind if I take a look?

Let's see.

Number 1. Learn to play the piano.

That's an excellent perfectly achievable goal.

Number 2. Find a good home for Fluffy

Celine's mom will never let her keep him.

Number 3. Find someone else to sing with mom.

That's very thoughtful Petey.

No 4. Get somebody to shovel the snow from the sidewalk

for mom when it snows.

Five: Help mom finish the song.

Is that the song you played for me?

Yeah!

I thought that if she could just finish one old song then

she could write a whole bunch of them, you know.

Yeah!

Can I get everybody's attention please?

Thanks.

I just want to say I've known Scott since little E

we were in it together

I couldn't get a hit for the life of him

I am glad to see that he finally made it on base.

To Scott and Audrey

two people that proved that if you stay in the game

you'll end up a winner.

HI, I'm Cornelia if you didn't know,

I've know Audrey all my life, I love her so much.

I'm just so happy to be the maid of honor.

I don't know what to say.

Monica would you say something, please?

I met Audrey several years ago

and we've been through some very difficult times together.

Every corner of creation, no ...

I can't do this.

I can't do this.

Petey didn't think you were ready to read this before.

But I think you are now.

You knew about it?

Yes!

Well I can't do that. I can't write that song.

You must Audrey.

Petey needs to know that you will be Ok.

But I won't be Ok.

Yes you will.

-Am I going crazy? -No!

-Am I awake? -Yes!

-Was that you in my dreams. -Yes.

God's voice will be heard, no matter what.

Whether you listen is up to you.

I did listen to him before and look what happened

I wrote a song and my baby died.

You wrote a beautiful song Audrey,

that helped Petey to die in peace.

I'm sorry.

So many memories, I don't even know where to begin.

But one of my best memories is one that...

Audrey might repeat for us here.

Would you do us the horror of singing the song you wrote for Petey.

Oh, I would but I don't have my guitar.

All the colors of the rainbow

all the voices of the wind

every dream that reaches out

reaches out to find where love began

every word of every story

every star in every sky

every corner of creation lives to testify.

For as long as I shall live I will testify to love

be a witness in the silences when words are not enough

With every breath I take will give thanks to God above

for as long as I shall live I will testify to love.

From the mountains to the valleys

from the rivers to the sea,

every hand that reaches out

every hand that reaches out to offer peace

every single act of mercy

every step to kingdom come

all the hope in every heart will speak what love has done.

It's finished now.

For as long as I shall live I will testify to love

I'm sorry Monica.

Thank you.

-That was some song. -Thank you.

You wrote that for your son?

Yeah, before he died.

Keep it.

Those are very special tears.

God counts every one you know!

Yeah! Thank you!

Hi! We haven't had much an opportunity to know each other.

It's been a busy time.

I'm glad you're here.

It means a lot to Audrey.

This might sound strange but

has Audrey mentioned anything to you about angels?

No.

We are steer clear of all that spiritual stuff.

I know she used to be pretty religious but

I got her to back off of all that, hallelujah prayers

and the crosses and the God stuff.

Now she's kind of generally spiritual.

And me, I've changed too!

I used to be a full on atheist and now I'm just an agnostic.

But marriage is about compromise, right?

And how did you get through AA when they ...

put so much emphasis on a higher power?

I just think of myself as only on an 11 step program.

Excuse me.

Oh Tess, I am not sure about this.

This not our assignment.

It's Gloria's assignment

and she's here to to help Audrey say "I do".

You are alright?

What have you got there?

Nothing.

Is something on your mind, Cornelia?

Well, kind of.

You see, there is this thing I was supposed to do

and I didn't do it.

Now ...

it might be too late.

Oh, it's never too late baby if it's the right thing to do.

Half pepperoni, half veggies?

Girls, snack out has officially began.

Hold it.

Dress there, pizza, over there.

Forbid me to argue with an angel

Ok, I know we need to talk

but first you got to admit that besides the God thing

Scott is a pretty great guy.

I met him at AA two years ago.

his wife had died and we just connected.

Audrey, have you ever heard the phrase "unequally yoked"?

What do you mean?

When a farmer puts two oxen in a yoke,

they need to be the same size,

and the yoke needs to be placed precisely in the middle,

because the slightest difference will begin to throw them off balance.

They may still move forward

but never quite together

and eventually the team will not be able to function.

Well it that's so important to you

why don't you go up to Scott and light up or something.

Prove that God exists.

It will be your wedding present to me.

Problem solved!

I can't do that.

Angels go where God sends them

and they speak to the hearts of those that God prepared for them.

Moreover what am I supposed to do?

The last thing that you promised Petey that you would do,

is testify to love.

God's love!

But you haven't done that, you kept silent!

And now you are moving from you home

you moved away from God

you compromised your life more and more

and with each compromise

you take a step further away

from knowing that God exists.

Audrey you were given the gift of knowing the truth

and you have a responsibility to share that gift.

Scott is a good man.

He is a nice guy

who has found a wonderful woman who loves his son.

But I don't see the deep love that God wants for you

and I don't see the joy of two people in love.

In fact I don't think that you are marrying this man at all.

I think you are just trying to ...

to replace Petey.

How dare you?

You don't know.

I'm sorry Monica.

It was a mistake to invite you to my wedding.

I'm sorry Monica, please don't come back.

I didn't mean to hurt you, Audrey.

It isn't always easy to hear the truth,

but it's important that you do hear it.

We will be praying for your happiness baby.

I think I'm going to go to bed now.

Ok, good night honey.

Goodnight Audrey.

-Hey! -Good morning, Cornelia.

Hi!

How are you supposed to walk on these things?

Don't ask me. The last time I tried a pair of those on

I almost broke an ankle.

-You look beautiful! -Thank you!

Did you hear that Monica, Tess and Andrew won't be coming?

Yeah!

Monica thinks that Audrey and Scott don't fit well together.

I'm kind of thinking the same thing.

Have you told Audrey that?

No!

Why not?

'Cause I really really want to be the maid of honor.

It made me feel I was finally grown up you know.

Sometimes the most grown up thing you can do is ...

tell a friend the truth,

even if it means giving up something that matters to you.

I really wish Tess was here.

What do you think she'd say if she were.

I guess I have to tell Audrey the truth.

Maybe that's a good idea.

Gloria.

Could you help me for just a moment?

Sure. I'll be there in a minute.

That is so beautiful, Cornelia.

It is absolutely perfect.

I am so proud of you!

Thank you.

I have something for you.

No sweetheart, no presents. You've done enough.

This isn't a present.

It's something I should have given you a long time ago.

I didn't.

But you need to see it now.

-Attention please. -What is that?

There is a fire in the building.

Please proceed to the nearest exit.

The fire department is on the way.

I don't know just keep going.

-Have you seen Kyle? -No.

I can't find him.

-Kyle! -We need an ambulance.

We need some help out here.

How is he?

I don't know, the nurses came out and said Petey is awake

Scott just went in to see him.

So that's all I know.

What?

You just called him Petey!

I meant Kyle.

I think Monica was right.

Cornelia!

Here!

I was trying to give you this up in the room.

What is it?

It's a letter from Petey.

He asked me to give it to you before he died,

if you ever decided to get married.

Dear mom,

if you are reading this you must be getting married.

I knew you would some day

or at least I hoped you would.

I know the angels are coming to get me soon

so I got to say this now.

I hope he is great.

I hope that you are the most important thing in his life

and that he makes you feel like singing

but you'll always be my sunshine

and I hope we'll all be together some day.

Tell him I'll be up in heaven waiting for you guys.

Love, Petey.

How can he ever meet Scott up in Heaven

if Scott doesn't even believe that there is one.

Then, help me God.

I'm really sorry, Audrey.

I'm really, really, really sorry.

Honey!

It's Ok. Kyle is going to be fine.

He just inhaled a little bit of smoke.

Oh, thank God.

Don't thank God. Thank that guy Andrew.

He's the one who pulled Kyle out of the fire.

Andrew?

Look. Why don't you go back get out of that dress

and then I'll meet you there and we'll figure out what to do.

Ok.

You know something honey?

You've always had an understanding about life

that Scottie never had.

He told me how lucky he was to meet you

but I always thought he was blessed.

Well I guess when it comes down to what,

that's the difference between you two.

And I am afraid that makes all the difference.

You do what you have to do sweetheart.

Good-bye George.

Audrey.

I need to tell you something,

About Monica, Andrew and Tess.

They are angels!

You are serious?

They came when Petey was dying

and they helped us

and they showed me that God is real

and that He loves me

And then no matter what happens He's always with me.

If that's what you want to believe that's fine.

I don't believe it, I know it.

I've seen it.

And I promised I will testify to it.

But I haven't.

Not to you.

Scott, when you look at all the wonderful things in this life,

the beautiful sun and all the love miracles,

in your life

don't you ever feel like there is Someone you want

to thank for it all?

I'm sorry, Audrey, I don't.

I do!

-Scott I love you! -I love you too!

God has been such a big part of my life for so long,

and when I met you

I let Him go.

Then I missed Him.

And I think if we got married we'd be speaking

a different language to each other.

Maybe.

It wasn't meant to be, ha?

I'm sorry.

I guess I've better get back to the hospital.

Scott!

I will always love you and Kyle.

Bye.

You were right, Monica.

I am sorry, Audrey.

I was so lonely.

You thought it was easier to leave God out of it

rather than let Him get in the way of the relationship.

I never thought that anybody would ever want me again.

I know how badly you want someone in your life

and I know how much you've been through

because God wants you to be happy too, Audrey,

but not at the cost of losing that

which is most precious.

God loves you so much

and He wants to be first in your heart

so that He can make a safe place there

for everything else that is good.

And God has a message for you.

One day there will be someone waiting for you

at the end of the aisle.

And when the time comes for you to be together

it will feel right, completely right.

And then you will know

love and joy and peace

just as surely as you know that God is real.

He's here with us right now, Audrey.

Won't you invite Him back into your life?

Amazing grace

how sweet the sound

that saved a wretch like me!

I once was lost

but now I am found

was blind

but now I see.

Mrs. Carmichael!

Oh, Alex, hi!

That was beautiful!

Thank you.

Are you alright?

I will be.

You know?

I think you will be.

You need a ride home?

That's alright.

I think I've been enough trouble.

It's no trouble.

That's very nice. Thank you.

I'd love a ride home.
