Thank you.

I love the early morning city smell.

It's not something delicious, and it's not the city.

Bacon, egg, and cheese on a bagel is the best morning workout prize.

Oh, for sure.

Dana, you have that sneaky look on your face.

You're up to something.

I've known you since you were 12. I know all your faces. What is it? Surprise?

You love surprises.

Yes, in the form of birthday brunch and free...

Samples at Costco.

Okay, what would you say if one of the biggest journalists is coming to the

office to do an interview about our dating app?

Okay, I would say you're the best associate slash best friend ever. I

Morning. Good morning.

When is the interview?

9 a .m. this morning.

Today? Yeah.

Okay. No time to chat up strangers on the sidewalk. We've got to get to work.

Okay.

Okay. All press is good press, right?

Right. You got this.

I got this.

Oh, there he is.

Dana? Yes.

Glad you reached out.

Always looking for a fresh story.

Maisie Jacobs.

Hi. I've been reading up on your startup.

Luke Penzer.

And you've already met my brilliant colleague, Dana, head of database

operations. I control the mainframe.

Yeah. Okay, so would you like to join me in my office? It's right this way.

Sure.

Do you mind?

No.

Great.

So, doing a series of pieces on the dating ad trend.

Taking back to the beginning.

The RSVP plus one's origin story.

Um, well, we all know that time in life when invitations start rolling in from

friends and family with milestone events and your social calendar is filling up

and often you get a plus one.

But if you're single, that can be daunting, which is exactly why we

app to match singles to be each other's plus one, which results in a low key

arrangement for anyone who likes big events or small talk or keeping nosy

relatives that day.

Well, that is quite the mission statement.

So you think that people just want that?

Nothing more than a single date?

In your expertise, as someone who doesn't have time to date... Oh, who

don't have time to date? You did.

Actually, you said that dating in the city is a total crapshoot.

Oh, yes. I was misquoted there.

You currently in a stable relationship?

I'm sorry.

No, I'm not currently in... I go on terrible dates all the time, and I've

find the way.

Self -appointed dating experts.

Noted. See, it's a numbers game out there, right?

Except now we control the numbers. Got it. So it's about control.

What's in it for the plus one?

Great question.

First dates are awkward, right? And now you can meet someone in a social

setting, and you can learn a lot about someone based on how they interact with

people. Have you ever matched with someone that you want to see again for a

proper first date?

Me? No, but it's not really the point. So the matches that you arrange don't

have staying power.

I'm sorry, but if your formula is so foolproof, why not swing for the fences?

You know what?

Why don't we take this into the conference room?

Sure.

All right.

Where were we?

Dating. It has its challenges. Don't you agree?

Yeah, I don't do the whole app thing, but there's a whole slew of them out

already, and yours is just for an event.

Correct. I designed it for people who want a pre -screened plus one. Have you

used it?

Of course.

Then why not use your own stories in your press materials?

Well, it would be a conflict of interest.

Are you looking for love?

All the time.

Thank you.

All right, so what's the secret formula then?

Oh, well, it's a secret.

But I can tell you that we did just launch a new feature. It's the open

option. It's for users who aren't necessarily looking for love, but

to finding it. It's very successful.

I can't give exact data because it would be a violation of our company's privacy

policy.

Come on.

Freedom of the press is a real thing.

I can come to my own conclusions, or you can just tell me the truth.

Well, between you and me, I haven't tried it yet, but it's getting great

feedback. A CEO not road testing your own product seems very hypocritical.

Well, I'm not currently looking for a long -term relationship.

I guess that makes sense.

Yeah, well, thank you both so much for your time. All right, I'll let you get

back to your matchmaking magic.

Oh, um, and if you have any follow -up questions at all, please do not hesitate

to reach out.

I promise to do my due diligence.

Okay, I'll see myself out.

I got it.

What is in a detox glow mask?

Charcoal radiance.

Sounds good.

Good morning, Dana.

Did you get my text?

No, I just was going through all the pamper stuff for the wedding. It all

came in. Hey, what do you think about wild mane tamer? I mean, it has like a

fruit on it, which feels refreshing.

I feel like that might be good for Allie. I sent you an article.

The article.

He called you lazy, mazy CEO.

Sounds like a double espresso morning.

Freedom of the press guy is going down.

The party date app won't back up their claims with evidence. And if this casual

arrangement misses the mark, the wedding cake won't be the only thing with

tears.

Ruval, he knows it's in beta mode.

Yeah, but not everybody reading this knows that that's fancy startup jargon

still getting off the ground.

And it's trending.

If we're drawing media attention, it doesn't look good if the boss hasn't

all the features.

This is an opportunity.

Flip the script.

You have to take him down?

Not exactly.

Look, I do enjoy dating.

And I would only say this to you. And never with a tape recorder present. But

I'd love to settle down with a hybrid of Mr. Darcy, King Arthur, and Romeo.

But I'm not looking for my ever after right now. Is that such a crime?

And I'm so confident in the open heart feature that that's why I won't try it.

What if I'm in the unlucky 4 %?

I got it.

Do you not have a date to your sister's wedding?

If you try it by this time next week, the story could be expired.

And Luke or any other reporter won't have anything.

Okay.

Okay, I guarantee you I am going to be in the unlucky 4%, but you know me well.

You do the honor.

Gladly.

Hey. Hey.

Are you having a tea party?

Oh, yeah.

For inner and outer beauty.

I love it.

Hey, I found you the ideal match.

Check your phone. I sent a picture.

Good job.

Hobbies? Check the photo.

Jawline. Perfect Peter.

Got two words for you.

Keep him.

Not happening.

But he's handsome, stable, predictable.

Yes, the total RSVP plus one package.

Anyways, I filled out your preferences.

Let's see how well I know my best friend.

Okay. Sunrise or sunset?

Sunrise. Fancy new cafe or picnic at the park?

Picnic in the park every time.

Perfect. I nailed it.

What's the worst that can happen?

As long as Perfect Peter doesn't embarrass me on the dance floor, I guess

all good. Oh, hey, hey. Perfect Peter would do no such thing, okay? Just fill

out the rest of your profile.

I only did the basics.

Okay. Bye. Talk to you later.

Shouldn't you be on the train?

You have to meet your family by noon.

Oh, I know. I just wanted to pop in and make sure everything was good with the

update before I go.

Okay, stand and sing. It'll take about an hour to integrate any new users,

Look, I'll take care of this. You take care of this.

You have a train to catch.

Fine.

But later, let's brainstorm a new name. Maybe Heart Attack or Open Heart

Surgery, which is what I'm going to need after this weekend. Okay, go, go, go.

Now get your caboose on the train to Wine Country.

And I'll meet you there, okay?

Bye. Fine.

Everybody, conference room.

Is it time to sing happy birthday?

I don't know. It's Jacob, IT, or Clifton. I can't get it. It's melting.

get everyone.

Oh, gosh.

It is melting.

It doesn't usually look like this.

Yeah.

Let's see if that does it.

Well, I will be if everything goes perfectly.

Oh, it will. It will. And once you are officially Mrs. Allie Stonebreaker,

all be worth it. With Henry! Oh, he's up there getting a boxing lesson. He wants

to look buff in his tuxedo, and I told him literally now is not the time to try

to make that happen. Oh, gosh.

We've got to appreciate the determination.

Yeah, that's one word for it. Yeah. So everyone RSVP'd yes.

Wow. Right, but they, you know, they say 30 % of people decline an invitation to

a destination wedding. I know, I love how they can measure that.

But now I'm a statistic.

Well, maybe that's a good omen.

Please tell me you have a date.

I do.

Yep. It was last minute, but... Oh, no, that's great. Odd numbers are a bad

omen. Okay, good. Right.

How's mom holding up? Good? She's good. She's excited, yeah.

Maybe Daisy.

You are just in time to help your dad and me solve a mystery. Oh. Hey, kiddo.

Hi, Dad.

Great to have you home. Great to be home.

Mystery. Huh.

Uh, it was Aunt Mickey in the library with the candlestick.

Hi, Aunt Mickey.

Hey, sweet girl. I'll be right there. I just want to find the perfect spot for

you. Oh, good. Okay, Mom and Dad have been going back and forth on this all

I saved a bottle of wine from the year Allie was born, and I wanted to open it

tonight. It's not in a cell. We have looked all over.

I mean, it's silly, but we thought it would be special.

It is special, sweetheart.

Anybody lose a bottle of vino?

Last century?

Last century? Really? Am I that old? No.

You can see wrinkles, though, I swear.

No. No, not at all. Look, I already told Henry. He knows exactly what old

Allie's going to look like.

No.

That is the point of marriage. You grow old together. I don't want to get old.

Never, never. Not you. You will be young forever.

Okay, I'm going to go get settled, though. Take your time. Okay, but not

much time because we've got so much prep to do.

Okay, that's fine. But glad you're here. I'm glad I'm here, too.

Hurry back, please.

Okay, we have to go. Okay.

to be hitting me.

Did you follow me here?

What? No, of course not.

Wait, are you looking for more mud to fling for your next story about me?

So, you read it.

Yeah? You made me out to be a phony.

You're the inventor.

I'm just a reporter.

A reporter who invents stories about subjects he knows nothing about. You

you're wrong about me. You're wrong about my app. You're right.

You're right.

You said you would do your due diligence.

That's why I'm here.

Oh, okay. Well, good luck with that. No comment.

Go ahead. You can write it down. No comment. Zero comment. Hey, I didn't

here to interrogate you.

I'm here for the full plus one experience. I was just given this

If you could just point me in the direction of a gal named... Daisy.

No.

No, that's not possible.

Okay. I'm Daisy. It's an alias that I use, okay?

Well, that's misleading.

You typically lie to all your suitors?

No. It's what my parents call me.

Look, I'm a first -timer on any match app.

Take it easy on me. Oh, not a chance.

What's in the bag? Tape recorder?

Oh, I never leave home without it.

Got a suit, tie, and tons of extra batteries.

Look, you need to go.

You can take this.

Perfect.

Somebody's here.

Okay. They think you're a reporter, so go find some sort of rodeo or something

to report us.

Welcome to our humble abode. Hi.

Are you a friend of Macy's?

Oh, we're more than just friends.

Aren't we, Daisy?

Oh, yeah, we are. We're such good friends that I'm going to get you a cab

to the city.

Actually, I'm her date.

What a beautiful home, Mr. and Mrs. Jacobs.

Oh, please, call me Jimmy. This is Dora.

Daisy, you didn't tell us you were bringing someone special.

Yeah, well, I wanted to blindside you, surprise you.

Oh, you must be her sister.

The one getting married?

This is my sister, Aunt Mickey.

Oh, nice to meet a true gentleman.

Oh, we met through work.

This doesn't seem to be working.

What do you do?

I'm a... writer.

Short stories, mostly.

A wordsmith.

In the trenches with the truth.

Well, he writes fiction. You know, nothing based in reality.

Do you write fantasy?

I've got an idea for a trilogy about love and the wine country.

He's got a wild imagination, so...

That could work, actually.

I like to write about the seedy underbelly of the tech industry in an

expose those who undermine our personal freedoms.

You must be delirious from your journey. Actually, why don't you give your

driver a call? He's probably not that far. And U -turns are legal here, right,

Dad? Daisy's the jokester in the family. Excuse her.

Come on, Luke. Let me show you the guest suite. Come on. Just grab your bag.

Daisy? Mickey?

Come on, everybody.

Are you okay, sweetie? I'm great.

Love you.

Fine, fine, fine, fine, fine, fine, fine, fine.

Did you see the delivery van from the aquarium store pull up?

Uh, no.

What?

My date is here.

Oh, wonderful.

Where is he? Oh, well, one down, 99 to go. Oh, I'm so glad that he's here.

be extra help, even numbers. And I'm so glad you have a man.

Me too.

And I'm just so glad to help you two.

It's going to be great, and I will keep him in line.

Great. Great.

Great.

Look,

let's make a deal. This is my sister's wedding.

As long as you can respect that and my family, the bride, she's definitely

through some pre -wedding jitters.

I'll respect your family.

Okay?

And you will be punctual to events. You will smile in photographs.

And be a good plus one.

Do we have a deal?

Gotta say, this is a great angle.

Being set up with the founder of RSVP Plus One.

Now that is a headline on the front page of the tech and lifestyle section.

No.

No, no, no, no, no.

You cannot print anything about my family.

Alright. And you can't bring that everywhere.

Oh, I don't need to.

I already have my hook.

How did Jimmy put it that I'm a wordsmith in the trenches of truth?

Dana, hi, hi.

It's me.

Okay, so I matched with Perfect Peter, but the mole from the press is here.

See?

Hello?

Can you... Y 'all right there, honey?

Yes, I, um... I just, I get, like, no service here.

Eh, I don't either.

I'm off the grid.

It's one of the benefits of being stuck out here in picturesque wine country.

I overheard you and Luke in there.

You did? You did.

You know, it probably sounds like I'm really mean to him, but that's just how

communicate. How you two talk to each other in the bedroom is none of my

business.

You know, back in the day, that used to be my room.

There may be an old bottle of pinot with mine and my favorite niece's name on

it. I do remember the secret stash.

Should we try it? Okay.

patios. Dad!

Let the micromanagement begin. We tried. We tried.

All right, I will see you down there. Okay.

Okay, guys, so we only have... Oh, are you delivering the ice pop show? Because

it'll melt while I get my drink. Allie, no, no. This is Luke. This is Maisie's

date. Oh, okay. Great. Well, welcome.

Um, this is my sweetheart.

Hey, man, that's me. Okay, uh, no chit -chat, babe. Okay, um, we're making

dinner. Yes?

Um, you don't have to do this part.

Oh, no.

You're for the full experience.

Okay. Uh, then you do candles.

I will do both.

Okay.

I love your food.

Thanks, Pinky. My third husband ran a dude ranch.

You gonna be here at the wedding?

That'd be... no.

But maybe my fourth husband will.

Now, Maisie, she doesn't want to get married.

No, I might one day.

I'm just not in a rush.

Well, y 'all must be very proud of Maisie creating her own app.

I think it's neat that she's playing Cupid on the Internet.

Without the data protected, I wouldn't be able to.

I don't know how you can get a read on a glowing triangle.

I don't trust the system as it is, let alone a system trying to set me up.

No, I do not.

You know, you have a very quotable family.

I can explain to him. I mean, I don't actually fully know how he got here.

What's there to explain?

I'm glad you're finally dating outside your type. He's got substance. He's like

a salt -of -the -earth type of guy.

Look, I don't care. As long as there are even numbers on the guest list, equal

partners on the dance floor. Yes, okay, so you get it.

Look, really, I think love is blind.

Well, you have to say that. You're marrying a laser eye surgeon.

No, I mean it. You don't know when love's coming your way. It just kind of

you in the face.

Mom, not like that.

Wait.

So what's next on the schedule?

You're all here to have sex. Look what I've got.

I would love to have some baby Allie photos on display.

Oh, look. Look, there's the girls at dance class. They were the dandelions.

they sure were.

Now, this is just adorable.

Why is Macy's dress was recycling here?

Oh, no, no, no. That's her homemade raisinette costume that she wore to the

sixth grade ice cream social. Oh.

Okay, now I see it.

Okay, I think we actually don't need to do this right now.

Maybe later.

The clock's a -ticking, and somewhere in here are your high school dance.

Don't be embarrassed.

Look, I had braces with the whole headgear that wrapped around. I was a

dork in high school.

I didn't hit a growth spurt until way later.

Didn't even have chest hair until after I had a master's degree.

Well, maybe head braces, too, see?

Oh, you can't avoid those awkward teen years, can you?

Okay, I think I'm going to go finish unpacking and I've got a lot of things

do. You guys, I will see you all later.

I cannot wait to see your baby.

Look, there's one in the valley.

That's nice.

I knew it. We got it sorted out.

I just left Perfect Peter a message that you'll have to reschedule, so don't

worry.

Hang in there. I'm leaving now. See you soon.

Good, you're here.

Oh, my God, finally.

Hi. My date missed the flight, and the app didn't reboot in time for me to pick

a new one.

I'm a minus one.

Oh, I'm sorry.

Things are pretty mixed up here, too.

All right, come on. We have a lot to catch up on.

Crazy mix -up.

And he's pretending to be a charming human being. He brought the tape

No one is safe.

Okay, best case scenario is he'll see our side and write a glowing review.

Best case scenario is he falls into a well. What? A guy falling into a well

would totally ruin the vibes that I've curated for this weekend. Who are you

talking about? Nobody.

You're right. Good vibes only. That is always the goal. Yes. Okay, relax.

You have a chance to turn this around.

You always see the silver lining.

I wish I saw red flags, but... Oh, and Maisie, don't forget the extension

okay? The key to an outdoor wedding is illumination.

Okay, I am on it.

I can't breathe.

I can tell my sister's excited to get married by how intense she gets.

I find it very inspiring.

Seeing true love feeds my soul, especially as a storyteller.

Back up.

You have a soul?

I do. And a doubt that an algorithm can detect a mate.

Oh, I think we have more over here.

Oh, we're going to need more than that. Your sister's just got a ton of lights

out there.

It feels unbalanced between us.

Do you want to see a picture of me in a Noted costume?

I'm sure I can dig one up.

Okay, my turn.

What's your backstory?

I grew up in Pack Heights.

I went to Vanderton, majored in journalism, interned at the Courier.

I've read your bio. You are getting a crash course in my family.

Come on, you have, like, one story?

All right.

My family has this tradition that when a man wants to marry his lady, he reposes

on a bridge.

Any bridge.

It's a strange family tradition, but some families do carry on strange

traditions. It's symbolic.

It's two sides coming together and connecting in this one solid way.

Hmm.

I'll be sure to tell them at the next reunion.

Hey. Oh, got him, got him, got him, got him. Here, let me get it. No, I got it.

Please, allow me. I got it. Thank you.

We have a wedding tradition, too.

The bride carries a bouquet of blue bonnets from the garden out back.

Yeah, they have done it generations.

And as maid of honor, it's my special responsibility to create this.

Well, if you need a hand, I'd be happy to help.

Or if you just want some company.

Kind offer.

I'm good.

You said you had family out here?

Yeah, I do.

I used to ride my bike up here on a long cruise away from the city.

You ride?

Yeah. Had a Harley for a while and a Triumph before that.

My first bike was a vintage Triumph.

I've still got it. Yeah?

It's a classic.

Hey, wait a minute.

Is your dad hitting it off with your accidental date slash nemesis?

Hey, soon -to -be sis.

Hi.

Have you had your eyes checked?

Um, I did last year at my checkup.

Specialist? Um, yeah, I think he was kind of a specialist. Oh, don't worry.

doesn't matter. You have a doctor in the family now.

Read it to me.

Um, okay.

Dora never liked me riding much.

I used to take over the full tank of gas and go cruising around up here.

I like speed.

She likes easy going.

She likes baking. I like eating.

Congrats. You're 2020.

Finally, some good news.

Henry, you promised you wouldn't. No.

Oh, the flowers are here. Come on, you want to help me pick? Yeah, let's do it.

Thank you, Henry. Tina. Coming.

Okay, so I think these for the bridesmaids' bouquets, and then for the

and boutonnieres. What about these?

They're cute, classy.

Yeah, I do like that color. Okay, but the whole wedding party has to be

identical. Do you have any clones of this flower?

There's a whole bunch over here.

For your beau?

The writer?

He may want to wear it.

Yes, for Luke.

Yeah, that.

My guy.

Well, I think it's a romantic profession.

Those who are unable to express themselves verbally may find it easier

about the irony.

You know, speaking of irony, did you read that article about the outdoor

that got hit by that rainstorm? Oh, my gosh, yeah. The bride and the groom,

kept reciting their vows, and then at the end, the photos looked like a

lightning bolt was literally coming out of the cage. It was crazy. Hey, hey,

hey, don't. I'm not into the universe.

Oh, my God. I'm so sorry. Nope.

Good vibes only. Forget that. Made that up. Everybody's ready.

Excuse me, ladies. How's everybody?

Hon, I got to go pick up my parents from the train station. I'll be right back,

okay? I miss you already.

I do.

Okay. Bye.

Come and get it, girls.

Come in. Okay.

Bike line.

Nice tie.

Oh.

Ooh, I am parched.

I was just admiring the handy work in here.

Oh, yeah, my grandfather built it years ago. He actually did all the gazebos.

My sister and I would camp out in a tent during the summer.

Then life was simple.

I got into tech to make things less complicated.

Doesn't seem to be working.

Even our best intentions don't dumb.

You know, you have real drive.

I admire that.

I haven't written my sister's toast yet.

Oh. Made a sounding board.

I've been told I have a way with words.

Yeah, I want to make her happy cry, not totally question her existence.

Sorry, that was mean.

Hey, all's fair in love and journalism.

Would you be up for another excursion?

Sure.

Well, first I want to say thank you for pulling this all together.

And I want to welcome Henry's folks, our new in -laws.

Nobody prepares you for how this is going to feel.

I'm so happy.

I'd like to say a few words about proposing to this loving lady right

So she's nearsighted. She came into our office and asked me to take her

prescription. It was just after our anniversary.

Which would have been the obvious time for me to propose. But I wanted to throw

her off my trail. Is that a thing?

Can be.

Pretty common.

So, we put it up on the chart, put a hand over our eye, and this time, the

letters weren't in the typical arrangement, were they?

It said, will you marry me?

Aww.

A toast to Allie and Henry.

Aww. And let's all hope it doesn't rain on the big day.

Yes. Amen.

For all our sex.

It's still technically our first date.

Yeah, longest first date of my life.

I still got your flower.

Oh, yeah, this is actually for you.

All the groomsmen are getting them, so now you won't be left out.

I haven't felt this part of something in a while.

It's nice.

It's good.

And there we go.

Looks fixed.

Is it, though?

I think so.

Where is the force? She should have been here by now.

Hey, guys. Mind stepping into the photo booth so I can get the settings right?

Um... We'd love to.

Excellent.

Okay. All right.

All right, guys.

We've got a bunch of props behind you. Just have fun with it. Keep it PG.

Here. This is for you. Okay. Now, look at the camera.

Perfect. Yeah, right? What is this, your mug shot?

Oh, the camera loves you guys. Thanks, man.

All right. Keep doing.

Stay still.

Good? Strike a pose.

You're natural.

Oh, I thought that was going on me.

No, no, no. No?

All right, all right. I am the queen. Let me see.

Actually, that's good on you. Oh, thank you.

All right, now let's do one where you really like each other.

All right, we'll do a nice one. We'll do a nice one.

Aw, aren't you too cute?

You know, I think we got it, guys. You're all set. Thanks so much.

All right. It's kind of fun. Yeah.

Hi. Well, would you like the flowers?

Oh, um, I can show you where to put those.

Great.

The berry patch by the vineyard. There's tons of ripe blackberry.

Why would I want to pick blackberries right now? My cake is ruined and so is

life. Allie, honey, what about some pies for dessert?

Pies? I only know this because I read an expose on Wedding Trends, but

tastemakers say that pies are the new it dessert.

Oh, yeah. I read that, too. First it was cupcakes, then cake pops.

Now pies are it. I did see a picture of a pie table at Adele's wedding.

Great. It's the one by the South Patch.

Let's make it quick, people. Get your boots on. Okay, I just did the math in

head. Less than 100 guv. That's 15 pi.

Five pounds of berries, people.

Let's go.

Let's pick some berries.

Come on.

This recipe has been in our family for too many decades to count.

And now we get to use it for a wedding. I know.

So nobody messed it up.

I'm just kidding.

It's gay.

Flies a pie.

Yeah. My bad.

Look at Dora.

She's a master. Oh, yeah. She can powder best of all in her sleep.

She's done it before.

Okay, so should we talk strategy? I'm kind of amazing with the berry filler.

Oh, I'm incredible at crust.

Want to tag team it?

Okay.

Okay, so berries. Berries.

Thank you.

Half a cup of sugar. Sugar. Got it. There you are. And cinnamon.

And vanilla extract.

Sour. And butter. Yes, and definitely butter.

A lot of butter.

Last but not least, some ice water.

Awesome. All right.

Now we have a pie.

A chicken.

Soon.

Looks good. I think, like, five more minutes.

Hey, five more minutes.

I'm a crush.

Less is more.

No, more is more.

It really depends on the oven.

Okay, found it. They got a whole chart here in the manual.

Proper egg times. Okay, depending on the weight, okay, cook time can be anywhere

from one to four hours.

Four hours?

Hold up, I scratched that. This is the chapter on roasting chickens.

Oh, babe.

Henry, honey, maybe you should stick the laser icer.

I'm glad she wasn't too upset about the cake.

I actually don't know how to react in that situation.

That could be a question for your app.

Do you freak out, storm the bakery, demand another cake?

Or do you go outside and make the most of it with what you can find?

Thank you guys for, you know, all this.

Yeah. Actually, I have a surprise for you.

Oh, um... Go. Have fun.

I got it.

Seriously.

Okay.

Relaxation feels like.

Yes, and you deserve it, sis.

Oh, that tea is so nice.

Says it's for inner beauty.

What's that?

Got anything stronger?

Actually, I'll be right back.

Good girl. My training worked.

Make sure everyone for everyone's nails blush tones, okay? Nothing obnoxious.

Hello?

Who?

Terrible handwriting.

So,

Maisie, how's it going with Luke? I think you two make a nice pair.

No wonder you were a match.

Don't get mad at me.

What? I think he has a cute smile.

And nice teeth.

Okay. Well, we would never be a match.

I mean, it's like he's actively rooting against me.

He puts the Luke in fluke.

Well, you know we have the data.

And it says that 96 % of users actually fall in love and get married. Except for

me. Here, take your tea.

All right. Who wants wine, anyone?

Just me.

Me too. All right. I'm going to go open it.

Not too much.

Are we ready to trust a formula over a friend setting you up on a blind date?

Have we given up?

To have an open heart, but not an open mind.

You'll be lost in app translator.

I'm 35, single, and can't trust technology with my destiny.

Well, let's eat, everyone.

This is a gorgeous spread, Mom. Thank you. Oh, you're welcome, hon.

Luke, you must try some fresh thick blackberry. I need to tell you this

about how the blackberry bush... Blurred the property lines between Jimmy's yard

and mine when we were growing up. Mom, you don't need to tell that story.

Does anybody need any more... Who is that?

I don't know.

Who's that?

Who is that?

Perfect Peter.

He's here.

Oh, no. He didn't get my message. I can't believe my perpetually single best

friend has two eligible bachelors here at State.

Sorry I'm late. Is Daisy here?

Daisy.

Oh, me, me. I'm Maisie.

Daisy's my nickname.

Well, these are for you. Thank you. You're welcome. Peter.

Yeah.

Did you, were you hungry?

Yes, I'm famished, and I love brunch, so it's perfect.

Perfect. Brunch is like my favorite meal.

Can I get a bagel?

Yes, Mom.

You can just pass the whole thing.

Just kidding.

Yeah, and this is my best friend, Dana.

Nice to meet you, Dana.

Oh, and your date, Pam Peter.

Actually, I'm hers.

I guess you want her plus two in case one of us goes down.

No, not exactly.

Actually, I didn't know that Luke was coming.

Luke was coming, and, you know, the one thing that was really important to my

sister, the bride, is there are even numbers on the guest list.

Hi.

Hey. Welcome to my wedding weekend.

Congratulations on this milestone.

It's beautiful.

Thank you. Thank you so much. I ain't there keeping me sane. I mean, kind of.

Just kidding.

Well, if you're with Maisie, then you're here

with... Oh, wait, you two weren't together?

My date was just like one of those random summer flash storms in Florida.

original date. Actually, now, Peter is Dana's date. I actually

grew up in Tampa. Go Gators. It's our state animal.

State reptile.

It's hard to tell who's what these days.

Anyone else thirsty?

I am.

This is a great place to have a wedding.

You seem to be having a nice time with my niece.

She's a catch, huh?

Me?

She's great.

What? You can tell me anything.

You wouldn't believe the secrets I've held.

Is she your muse?

The one you write about?

A writer cannot fall for his muse.

Mm -hmm.

Reporter 101.

Okay, I got a good one.

So two slices of bread.

Decided to stick up a bank.

But the teller, he presses the secret button that locks all the doors and it

just pricks up the heat.

The breads, they realize they forgot a bag to put all the cash in.

And the teller goes, doesn't matter, you're toast.

I hope everybody's ready to play. Okay.

My friend photographer, Jasper, is going to take some pictures of us. You know,

nothing staged.

She's very candid. It'll be really fun.

So this is the only time you're allowed to wear white. So everyone go change.

And then we'll meet on the front lawn in about ten minutes.

Okay. Chop, chop, everybody. Ten minutes. Seriously.

I think I've probably got something that will fit you.

I'll pursue that, sir.

That's impressive how Allie has us all.

Figured out.

Allie can be a little intense, but I can't blame her. She's a schoolteacher.

What are you, about a 32 waist?

Yeah, something like that.

Maisie's my coolest cucumber child.

She's always had a level head no matter what life throws at her.

You know, when we first met, she spoke very highly about her family.

Actually, she said she admired your relationship.

Well, that's awfully nice to hear.

I'm a really fortunate father to have my girls.

Here, try these.

I wore those once on a cruise.

Yeah, let's try them.

They're perfect.

Luke is the type of person who only grows on you after endless hours of

togetherness.

I believe the term is called Stockholm Syndrome.

I mean, at least Perfect Peter is a normal person.

I know, right? He's even better in person than he is on paper. How is that

possible? I don't know.

Brocade time, people!

Okay, and I know it's not startup culture to wear uniforms, but can these

uniforms? They're so cute.

You know, if we still have a job come Monday, then yeah.

These mallets are in here somewhere.

You know, I used to take solo camping trips.

Those were good times.

You can pull off the lone wolf thing. Me? I'm a complete mess that's left to

own devices.

Doesn't look good. I guess I've been alone for so long because I just thought

would happen, you know? Like, poof, there's your person.

The only other women I date are other journalists, and they all do the same

thing. So nobody's learning or growing.

Macy says that's why people do that thing.

You know, get you out your field, which can be limiting.

When I first met Macy, she said she wasn't looking for a relationship.

She had to keep up appearances, especially in the media.

She wants to be excited about a guy.

That's all.

How do you know all this?

Well, she tells Allie, Allie tells me.

I'm not supposed to know.

You know, girl code.

What is that?

Yes, sir.

No doghouse for the old hanksters.

Okay, guys, we're playing croquet.

Mom and Dad, are you coming?

Okay, we're not going to wait on them. They're taking too long.

Are you wearing my dad's clothes?

Yep.

Cool. All right, so team...

Macy, Daisy, you're going to be with Peter.

And Dana, why don't you get together with Luke? And Sweet Pea, you're

with me.

Okay, guys, so he's just going to be taking photos. Okay, so smile, find the

lens, and just, you know, get together and look perfect. Okay? Let's go.

All right.

Got it. Got it.

Yeah! Take them, Jen!

Thank you.

Are we playing for real?

Yes. No.

Yes, we are.

100%. Gotta go.

Whoa.

Okay, so Peter, tell me more about yourself. You've just gotten thrown into

this. And we didn't even get a chance to talk.

Right. Well, I'm a commercial real estate agent specializing in tall

Skyscrapers?

Yes. I have heard the term before. I spend most of my time in one.

Oh! Oh!

Seriously? Are you a professional?

Oh, my God.

Oh, I'm so sorry.

No, it's cool.

Let me see. Is it broken?

Nope. They all seem to still be working, so I'm fine. I'm so bad at sports.

Oh, hey, you're more of an indoor girl.

Yeah.

So, when you're not out here crushing croquet balls, what's a day in the life

Dan look like?

Actually, I work with Maisie. Did you know she started RSVP Plus One? Really?

Totally her whole idea.

Okay, so can we get together for a group shot, everybody?

Okay, everybody smile.

Babe, come here.

Yeah. Babe, in the middle.

Okay. Smile.

Okay, and a serious one.

Okay, guy on the end.

Eyes on the line.

Try it.

Whoa, are you okay? Your eyes are, like, really bloodshot.

I'm fine. It's just... Allergies. What? Hey, I'll be the judge of that.

Open up.

Try it.

Right here.

Doctor's on the scene.

Okay, guys, if you could just look a little bit better.

Here we go.

It helps to fake laughs.

It's okay.

It's okay.

Just water, Dad.

Uh, how long have you known Macy?

Uh, a couple weeks.

Yeah? Yeah. Yeah.

Well, I prefer writing over most forms of communication.

Something comes out wrong?

Delete button.

Oosh. It's gone.

Dating is tough, brother.

Tell me about it.

Yeah.

Oh, hey.

You good?

Yeah. How about I handle the axe for now? Sure. Okay.

But for real, tell me about it.

What's it like out there?

Well, when I do the axe, it feels different. You know, it's at an event,

it's social. You get to see how they interact with the other people.

So are you giving them a test that they don't know they're taking?

It's life, though, isn't it?

Yeah, sure, this is all fun, but... I don't want to meet the one.

I think I may have met her.

Can't say who just yet, you know, in case she rejects me.

Has that ever happened to you?

Sometimes, yeah. I see how... Either I'm too tall, or... Cartoon superhero.

Or Ken doll.

But it's all good, man.

My girl's here.

I know it.

Here?

There's only a few singles.

Men are full of secrets.

Hey, should I go tell her, like, right now?

Um, maybe wait till after the wedding.

You know how grooms are.

They don't want another man spilling champagne all over his turf, you know?

Oh, man, you're so right.

Good talk.

Yeah.

Good talk.

You want to help me with these logs?

Um, you know, it splinters.

Don't worry about it, man. I got it. I know you do.

Just five more of these to go.

Something on your mind?

Nope. A little more lost in thought?

More so than usual?

No.

Can I tell you a secret?

I love secrets.

When your dad and I met...

He was very different.

He had a bad voice streaking him.

Dad was a rebel. Well, it meant that he rode motorcycles on the weekends and

watched drag races.

I still picture it every time I get a whiff of leather and diesel.

So Dad was cool.

The coolest?

He stopped riding when you were born. We agreed it was too dangerous.

But I... caught him trying to strap a car seat to the back for a test drive.

Dad did that?

I said, I love you, Jimmy, but you are not taking our baby for a joyride.

Gosh, I mean, I could never date a guy who rode a motorcycle.

Oh, never say never.

Honey, I do not want you making life choices, thinking everything is a

romance.

I gave up on that idea recently.

Give me that.

With the right partner, even the hard stuff isn't so bad.

I should go get the blue bonnets for Allie's bouquet.

Bye.

What is it?

Great.

And now we don't have blue bonnets.

Awesome.

Thank you, sprinklers.

Hey. Hey.

So, the blue bonnets are dead.

No. Yep.

What can we do to help?

I don't know.

Oh.

Oh, it looks like there's a misspelling here.

Yeah, it should say, made of dishonor.

Yes, um, I was wondering if you had blue on it.

Uh, yes, tomorrow.

Yeah, no, the wedding is tomorrow.

Yeah, no, lavender would be pretty too, but it's just, it's really important

that I get this flower.

Look, between you and me, my sister's kind of intense, and if I don't get

flowers, she might actually... I probably should have planned more than a

advance, you're right. Mm -hmm, mm -hmm.

Okay. Okay, no, thanks so much for the TED Talk, Karen. Okay.

I'm sorry, that was kind of rude. I'm just under a lot of stress right now.

Well, uh, this is a neat setup.

Thanks.

What is it?

It's a tree of advice.

Or wisdom tree, I think.

I don't really know.

You should patent this.

Oh, no, I stole this.

No, not the stuff.

The idea from a blog.

Are you worried Channing Tatum's understudy is stealing her away?

Not at all. We don't have a lot to talk about.

They were a match.

Maybe in Cuckooville, where people are reduced to their achievements and

based on some case studies done by interns.

It's not my competition.

My competition is a blank page.

Maisie's never been one to fall fast.

She gets her self -control from the other side of the family.

I'm going to start brainstorming on what to write. Oh, hey, that was my fault.

Sorry.

Sorry.

Okay, rehearsal dinner time, people.

I'm sorry we did that.

It was a timer. It's fixed.

So, Peter, do you plus one often?

Okay, don't interrogate the man. He just got here this morning.

What? That's what brought us all together?

Yeah, I use it a decent amount.

It's really opened my eyes to what's out there.

Can I quote you on that?

Of course.

So you're into casual dating?

Oh, no. I'm into all of it. Yeah.

Weddings are always fun. The food is.

Delicious. I agree. I love wedding food.

Now you can get sushi at a gas station now. Doesn't mean you go to a gas

every time you want to fill up on something. You've been talking about

sushi at a gas station. I eat it all the time. I love getting dressed up and

dancing the night away. It's a total stranger.

Really? I wish I was more of a fly -by -night type of dater.

Too picky.

What are you doing?

What's wrong with picky?

I usually go to West Palm Beach.

That is a beautiful spot.

Right? Do you rollerblade?

Never. Oh. I'm from a big city.

Hold on a second. Does everybody at this end of the table believe in soulmates?

I definitely do.

I'll know he's the one when we go on our first trip together.

You can really tell a person's true colors when you're traveling.

I believe mine will be smart.

A real brainiac. Yep. Knows all sorts of facts and whatnot.

An intelligent, kind woman.

Really gets me going.

Well, I think for me, it'll be when I feel like he has my back.

I'm a strong, independent woman, but when he shows up for me in a way that

like I've got you, that's when I'll know.

What about you?

Me?

You know what?

I think it'll hit me whenever I can't stop thinking about her when we're

You know, she's independent, she does her own thing, and I will too, but, uh,

I'll be thinking about her.

Babe, he's a real reporter.

It's awesome.

Hey, buddy, she doesn't believe me.

What, the same reporter that wrote an article about your business that you

so worried about her?

He, I, so, um... Um, Allie, I can assure you like I did your sister, um...

I'm here just as her date.

Okay, nothing more.

Yeah, I write about tech and how it affects our relationships.

And I'm no expert.

But it helps be around those who are.

Great. Okay.

As long as it doesn't affect tomorrow, I'm good.

Right? As long as you don't write anything bad about this wedding.

Anyway.

Everybody go to bed so you look beautiful tomorrow. Please picture...

What are

you doing?

I'm trying to write The Maid of Honor toast.

How do you do this?

Well... That's what you want to know.

What made you want to be a writer?

Actually, started by writing poetry.

No idea if it's any good, but yeah, I'm an aspiring poet.

Will you read me one?

No. Please?

No. Come on, please, will you read me one?

Okay.

All right.

Let's see.

You can read that?

Uh,

sometimes.

I have terrible handwriting.

At least you are self -aware.

Honestly, that's why I use a tape recorder.

I don't trust my own notes.

Okay, well, if we're going to do it, we have to do it right.

Sit up.

Sit up properly.

Like a real poetry slam.

All right, all right.

This one is called Sunrise, I think.

Yep. Okay, here it goes.

All right, all right.

It's easier for me to rise.

When it's still dark outside.

The sun shouts, get up and go.

Its silent rays begging us to listen.

The rise and set of the sun is the only promise we have.

That it'll all keep going.

That we should keep going.

And until it rises, I'll wait here in the dark.

That was beautiful.

Really, that was...

I have chills. I actually have chills.

It was so good.

Thanks. I've actually never shared that with anybody before.

You could write a poem for your sister's toast.

If I can do it, you can.

Really? Mr.

I have a way with words?

I mean, that was really deep.

I've never even written a haiku.

Well, you're in touch with your emotions.

Rage being one of them.

Very funny.

I'll think about it.

I'll leave you to it.

Yeah.

Hey. Macaroon?

Oh, no.

I don't really eat.

So, it's your last day as Miss Jacobs.

Oh, I know.

I told all the kids in my class to call me Mrs. Stonebreaker, and a couple of

them cried.

Well, you know, the ones with rock collections.

Yeah, change can be overwhelming.

I heard you're writing an article about love, a subject I know everything about.

And here you are, a day away from marrying. So, tell me.

What's your take on this modern formula -based love?

Dislike. I think it rules too many people out initially.

Interesting. I mean, although you do have to do your research on everybody

days. Yet, if you build your own profile, you do some of that research

A guy goes skydiving once and it's his profile picture?

If you saw the video, he'd be crying for his mommy the whole time.

Before you chose to marry Henry, did you ever second guess it?

We had our fair share of disagreements, but our love's always been strong.

Did you ever stop and think, how well do I know this person, and why am I

falling for them?

I think I know him as well as I could know him.

I mean, we've been dating for a couple of years, and we tell each other

everything. I mean, not everything, everything, but pretty much.

Okay, but is that real, lifelong love?

I don't think we rushed it. I mean, I always wanted a long engagement.

Is it better to be with your polar opposite, but also your equal?

Does that make sense?

Henry is definitely different, but I think that's a good thing, right?

I don't know.

Do opposites really attract, or is that just something we tell ourselves?

Because it's scary when somebody rocks our boat, and we feel inadequate because

they're so amazing.

I probably should have thought about this more.

Well, think about it. What if years from now, that one deal breaker popped up

and it's too late?

Kid, house, matching Teslas.

All because you couldn't tell them how you truly feel.

Terrified.

Look,

love is a big deal.

You better do you before you say I do. I did me, though. You know, I did the

whole do you, do me. I did do you, you know?

The more I learn, the less I know.

Know what I mean?

I need to go rewrite my vowel.

Allie?

Are you in here?

It was Luke in the Convivo with the macaroons.

Caught me.

So I have a confession.

Gotta get it off my chest so it's balanced between us, like you said.

Okay.

Your family?

It's way more exciting than mine.

Yeah. Yeah, they are pretty great.

Not too sure about Peter, though.

Really? You guys were like a dynamic duo today.

Yeah, I've had bromances before.

This is not one of them.

Plus, I'm not talking about me and him.

I don't care what your app says.

He's not right for you.

How could you know that?

I spent more time with you and enough time with him to know that it's just

little things.

Look, I know that this is just temporary, but... Why are you saying

I don't know.

I just don't want you to lead them on or vice versa.

Well, thank you so much for your interest in my personal life.

But I think the app was wrong in more ways than one.

Morning. Hey.

Man, I could not sleep last night. Want one?

Uh, no thanks. Gives me the jitters.

I'm nervous as it is.

Come on.

Hey, you mind if I get your expert opinion on something?

Yeah, sure.

What's up?

What are, say, three things that the RSVP Plus One app can improve upon?

Hey, bit balling right now, but what about recommending...

Some dating spots halfway between your respective GPS locations.

Okay. That's a good one.

And a way to rank the best friends characters from Phoebe all the way down

Ross.

Specific and divisive. I love it.

A way to send follow -up flowers the next day with a push of a button.

You, sir, are much smarter than you look.

Oh, hey, um...

Can I use your computer for a second? Because I'm not getting any service and

need it for a work thing.

Yeah. Yeah, yeah.

Deal.

Have at it. Thanks.

Strategy or risk?

Open heart.

You create a startup.

Strategy or risk?

Okay, okay. Sorry.

Okay, great. Wedding coordinator. Hi.

Hi. So, I still don't have a bouquet.

I still don't have a bride.

Nobody's seen her and she was doing hair and makeup 32 minutes ago.

You still don't have one? Yes, you need me. Mm -hmm. My third wish.

Okay.

Hey.

Hello? Hi.

Hey. Hey.

Hey. Um.

Big paper?

Allie always ties my bow tie. I don't know how. Can you... I like that Luke

character.

Good guy.

Bit of a chatterbox. Yeah, he does say way too much.

Perfect. You are awesome.

Show up early. Show up early. I'm early, but where are you? It's your wedding.

Allie!

You look nice, Dana. It's a very pretty dress.

Thanks, Peter.

I don't know how to say this, but it's important.

I found something on Luke's laptop.

Come on, walk with me. I can't find Allie.

Luke already posted the article.

And it's not good.

I don't understand. The wedding isn't even over. It hasn't even happened yet.

Okay.

Where is he?

The side yard.

Okay.

As the weekend comes to an end, in summary, she took me by surprise.

Hiding out, are you?

Just admiring the view. You wrote another nasty article about me?

This whole time you've been pretending to be all interested and helpful and...

was never pretending, baby.

No, you were. And did you know your first article?

It hurt me. And now to find out today, of all important days, to everyone

upstairs that you've just got another one ready to go? Wait.

Wait a second. What are you talking about?

Is this about...

Peter or... You know what? I don't have to explain myself to you. You and I, we

are permanently off of the record.

I don't even have time for this. I can't find Allie because she's missing.

I saw her last night.

No one has seen her since last night, so what... I hope it wasn't something I

said.

You know what?

I need you to go so I can fix whatever damage you did.

Yeah, you said that you have family out here, right?

Yeah, no, that's a good idea.

At least let me help you find her. No.

You have done enough.

I've been looking everywhere for you. Let's go. The glam's going to wait.

How can I assume my marriage will work out?

Come here.

Come here.

Because you and Henry, you love each other.

And you want it to?

Luke said something about the more you learn, the less you know.

I don't know what he said to you, but trust me, he's not in the headspace to

giving any advice.

He probably meant it as a compliment.

But how so?

You found your puzzle piece.

I don't know. I mean, did I do me enough before I commit to Henry and do us?

Luke made me think that Henry and I are so different. I mean, do you think

that's a good thing?

Well... Could you really imagine being married to someone exactly like you?

Imagine being with yourself.

No. No, I couldn't do it. It would be too powerful.

You would.

What? What is it?

Oh, the article's posted.

It's happening all over again.

What, you don't want to read it? No, no, there's nothing in there that I need to

know. Well, as long as I'm described as a cool, calm, collected bride, I'm good.

Oh, look.

Look at the pictures. They turned out great.

I found my perfect plus one.

Peter must have read an earlier draft.

I've got to go find him, okay?

Look, whatever is in your heart is right for you.

When you're with Henry, if you feel like your best self... And you guys

compliment each other in a way that makes life easier.

I think that's worth something.

Any luck?

No. He's gone.

Gone.

Honey, we're just going to wrangle you up a special bouquet and start a new

tradition. No, I'm fine, really. I have everything I need. I'm just ready to

marry my Henry. I guess after a night of soul -searching in the gazebo, someone

knows what she wants.

You slept out there?

Oh, my God.

Sorry for the mix -up. I read the article.

I didn't want you to leave.

I didn't want to leave.

But I got to my grandparents' house and... Blue bonnet.

You came back.

I had to come back.

And to apologize.

For making you feel anything but special.

I'm sorry, too. I mean...

I didn't see any of this coming, but I do now.

Henry did say you have perfect vision.

What do you say?

Want to make this official?

Want to be my plus one?

Yeah, sure.

Your mom and I are so proud of the woman that you've become.

You've always known exactly who you were, and you knew when you'd found your

puzzle piece.

And Henry, welcome to the family.

And now I think your sister may have a few words for you.

I wrote you, too, a poem inspired by this weekend.

And being around love.

It's called All My Sunset.

I can see you coming.

Tiptoeing across the blanket sky to rest.

It's cold when you go.

So sit closer.

Tell me what you felt on your way here.

I'll always admire your glow.

So from this day on.

Take me with you.

It's been said that the more we learn, the less we know.

And that applies to love, too, because the more you two learn about each other,

the less you'll need to know about a lot of other things.

Because love matters the most.

So cheers to the bride and groom.

Cheers.

Love you.

Cheers.

You have a way with words.

Huh. I feel like you're good at everything.

No, no. I definitely have a few flaws.

Like what?

I can't whistle.

Really? Mm -hmm.

Let's hear it. Try it.

Seriously? You want me to? I want you to.

That was a little bit of a whistle.

Really not that good.

Wait, are you? I have a terrible whistle. Oh, okay. Can you whistle?

Of course.

Let's hear it.

Are you kidding me? I can't whistle at all. That's very embarrassing.

I guess we have something in common.

Yeah, I guess we do.

Oh, hey, I figured out the whole mix -up.

Good. Let's make sure it never happens again.

So, when I made your profile, I may have added in a few of my own answers, too.

No. I figured it couldn't hurt. It was just for the weekend.

That explains Peter.

I think you two would be cute together.

You think so? Mm -hmm. I think you should go for it. Okay. How's my hair?

Perfection, always. Go.

So I was thinking, do you want to go on a trip sometime?

How about to Florida?

Florida? Yeah.

You know me so well.

Don't forget to pack your rollerblades. Oh, I got them with me.

I know.

Florida,

here we come.

Cheers.

Maybe we can meet in the middle.

Sunset picnic?

Road trip to a fancy restaurant?

Flight into the sunrise?

Is that possible?

I don't know.

What's my note together?
