[alarm ringing]

Five more minutes. Five more minutes.

Ah, food.

Check.

Decorations?

Check.

Fresh flowers.

That's a check.

Photographer...

Oh, no. Oh, no.

Oh, no.

[phone vibrating]

Ugh.

Hello?

Jessie! Where are you?

Please tell me you didn't set your alarm wrong again.

Uh, ok. Fine.

I won't tell you that.

Just use the alarm on your phone like a normal person.

I like the sound of real metal hitting a bell.

Not some synthetic impersonation of an alarm.

It's like trying to get you to shoot digital all over again.

There's a method to my madness, Soph.

Trust me.

Right. Well, I am trusting your madness

with our biggest wedding yet.

The bridal party will be arriving in 30 minutes.

Will you be able to make it?

Of course. I'll see you in five.

But it's gonna take you five minutes

just to start that truck of yours!

Jessie?

[sighs]

*

Come on, baby.

Today's your day to shine.

[engine struggling to start]

[engine starts]

Yeah! See, that's what I'm talking about!

Ya always come through.

*

*

Hey.

Morning, Mom.

Jessie, darling.

Look who decided to show up for work today.

Late night again?

Yes. You know me, always a night owl.

I had to finish developing that film from the wedding last week.

Well, I suppose I can't fault you for your dedication.

Mm-hm.

And what are you doing here?

I thought you and Dad were taking it easy on this one.

We are.

I just wanted to help out a little bit here and there.

Have you seen Sophia?

Sophia's been buzzing around here since 5:00AM.

I can't keep track of her anymore.

I heard these clients are kind of a big deal.

Well, huge or not, you and your sister

always seem to find a way to rise to the occasion.

And this wedding will be no different, I'm sure.

Look at you. You're not even nervous.

How do you always stay so calm?

Many years of practice.

I've come to realize that everything happens

just the way it should

and when you're dealing with brides all the time,

someone has to remain calm.

[laughs]

Oh, speaking of.

-Jessie! -Oh, there you are.

Where have you been?

Oh, yeah, real funny.

Come on, now help me set up outside.

They'll be here any minute.

[camera shutter snaps]

Can you stand there for me, for a second?

There we go. Great.

Maybe just a little smiling?

There you go.

Soph, you can't be this nervous.

They're gonna love this place, just like everybody else does.

I can't help it.

This is such a big opportunity for me, for us.

You're killing it.

The winery's never looked better.

Thanks.

I'm just hoping if we do a good job with this wedding,

Mom and Dad will finally let me build that website

I was telling you about.

Mm-hmm.

With the branding revamp I think this place

could be a top wedding destination.

Yeah, that website really needs work.

Did you take that offer yet?

I told you, I'm not working for another magazine.

I quit "Runway Style" for a reason.

It's not just a magazine.

It's "Blush Bride",

the single most popular bridal magazine in North America.

Think of the business we would attract.

You're selling yourself short.

We don't need a hoity-toity magazine.

Look at all the work that you've done.

Business is gonna be booming.

I couldn't imagine doing this without you.

I'm so glad you moved back home.

Yeah, me too.

Oh, there's that smile I was looking for.

That is gorgeous.

*

Here you go.

[phone camera clicks]

Take care ladies.

[notification alert]

We'll be there soon, sis.

I can't believe we start filming next week.

We have so much to talk about.

I think we're gonna make a great firefighting duo on screen.

Yeah, congratulations on getting the leading role.

Thanks!

It's been a long time coming,

but with my new agent I've been getting a lot of traction.

I have to tell you, I had a fitting yesterday

and the costumes we get to wear are stunning.

I am so excited.

Hey, Lindsay, Shane. Over here!

Seriously?

Wow, paparazzi.

This is all pretty new to me, if I'm being honest.

It gets old fast, trust me.

Unfortunately, it comes with the territory.

Are you two more than just co-stars?

What's the scoop?

Hey, a little privacy, please.

Come on, just one more.

Cheers?

[camera shutter snaps]

To a wonderful working relationship.

Likewise.

*

*

Welcome to Sweet Valley Vineyard, everyone.

Please head inside where we have hor d'oeuvres

and samples of our finest wine for you to enjoy.

Kate! Welcome.

How was your tour through St. Gracious?

It was marvelous.

I can't believe I've never visited this place before.

It is the heart of California wine country, after all.

Well, you certainly saved the trip for the right occasion.

And Kate, I have someone I'd like you to meet.

This is Jessie, our very talented in-house photographer.

Hi, Kate. Nice to finally meet you.

Ah, likewise.

I've seen your work and it's amazing.

We're so lucky to have you.

Oh.

Well, the pleasure's all mine.

Is your groom still arriving for dinner this evening?

Well, Cole is held up at work but he and my brother

will be arriving via private jet just in time.

-Oh. -Great.

Jessie will meet them at the airport

to capture their arrival.

Wonderful.

I'll let Cole know to expect you.

In the meantime, please enjoy the refreshments inside,

then I'll escort you and the bridal party

to your accommodation at the guest house.

Sophia, you are an angel.

Thanks, ladies.

-Yeah, go have fun. -Thank you.

Bye.

Look at you, Dad.

Playing tour bus driver today?

No, regular guy canceled last-minute

so I stepped up to the plate.

Well, I have to say, tour guide looks fantastic on you,

so do you mind if I just grab a quick photo?

Just for memory.

No, no.

No, I gotta get out of this thing

before your mother sees me.

It's a tool belt for this guy.

Oh, ok, you got it.

[camera shutter snaps]

[laughing]

We're here!

We have arrived. Let's do this!

Nice!

[phone vibrates]

Ah.

It's Kate. I better give her a call.

She's been a bit on edge lately.

Oh, Kate's on edge?

Dude, you don't need the shades.

Ok, people in St. Gracious don't care about celebs

like they do back home.

You can never be too careful.

I just wanna make sure this week is all about Kate.

She deserves it.

Smart man.

Ok, tell you what, you call Kate,

I'll grab the bags.

Ok, thank you.

Hey, Kate.

Shane, you were supposed to text me when you landed.

I am walking towards the terminal as we speak.

And please tell me you have the rings?

Rings?

Well, I thought Cole was bringing the rings?

That's not funny.

They haven't left my sight. Everything's under control.

Trust me, I'll see you in a bit.

Ok. Just hurry.

[camera shutter snaps]

Woah, woah, woah!

Oh, my goodness!

Yeah, what do you think you're doing?

I am so sorry. Here, let me help you.

Thanks.

Oh, yeah.

If you don't mind, I'd really appreciate

if you'd delete that photo.

Oh, well, I would, but not digital.

I don't know how you found me here,

but I'm really getting tired of getting followed.

What's a guy got to do to get a little privacy?

Oh, you're, uh... I see it now.

I thought that you were expecting me.

I am Jessie, hi.

You're here for the wedding, right?

Great, you know about the wedding too?

Well, yeah.

Bags.

-Oh, you must be Jessie! -Yeah.

I'm Cole, I'm Kate's fiancé.

-Hi, nice to meet you. -Nice to meet you.

Well, thanks for coming aboard to photograph the wedding.

Yeah, of course.

And I see you met Shane already.

Yeah, kinda.

Shane's my best man. He's also Kate's older brother.

Oh.

Wait, you're the wedding photographer?

Yeah.

I do have a sign. I was supposed to...

That's on me.

Don't mind my friend here,

he gets a little tense when he travels.

Oh, well, ok. Nice to meet you, Shane.

Nice to meet you.

I'm sorry about all that.

I guess I get a little camera shy.

Well, shall we?

I have a beautiful fiancé waiting with a delicious dinner

and I'm starving.

Yes. Uh, follow me, guys.

Ok.

Shotgun!

[chuckles]

Ok.

-Nice truck. -Thank you.

Kate: You're here!

Oh, you made it!

Just in time.

Was beginning to think you guys got lost.

-Lost? Me? -Mmm.

Never.

That's because Jessie drove.

Well, thank goodness for Jessie.

If you weren't here,

who else was gonna walk me down the aisle?

Yep.

I think our parents would have really loved this place,

don't you?

Definitely.

Oh, I'm sorry they couldn't be here to celebrate with you.

Well, I'm glad you love it as much as we do.

Thanks.

I'm just grateful I still have my big brother here with me

on my big day.

Good evening, everyone.

If you could all please take your seats

and we'll get started with the welcome dinner.

Let the wedding fun begin.

Yes!

-Madame? -Thank you.

So, Shane and I used to put on these plays

for our neighborhood.

He would write them, we would both star in them

and the entire neighborhood was invited to our backyard theater.

We always put Cole on door duty.

Hey, what are best friends for, right?

You know, I'd do anything for the Shane and Kate duo.

I will never forget the look on Mom's face

when she opens up the door to a line-up of people,

all holding tickets to our show.

I would have lost my mind if I was her.

They were always so supporting though.

Yeah. We didn't know how good we had it.

And hey, you probably still wouldn't be acting

if it weren't for them.

You might have not of made it through med school.

Yeah.

Doctor Brown.

Soon, to be Doctor Dylan.

Mmm.

[camera shutter snaps]

Sounds like you both are very successful in your careers.

From everything I've heard, so are you.

Yeah, it's been an interesting two years.

That's for sure.

Oh, don't be modest.

She was the head photographer for Runway Style magazine.

And Sophia tells me that you have an offer

to submit your photo to "Blush Bride"?

Yeah, um, I don't know about all that.

I like to keep things pretty small-time nowadays.

Really? "Blush Bride" is huge.

I love their July cover with Hailey Cohen.

I read her wedding cost $10 million.

Well, I would take that information

with a grain of salt.

Not everything they write about is true.

Oh, sounds like someone has a complicated relationship

with the media.

Well, I don't like to complain,

but they do a really great job

dramatizing other people's lives, including mine.

I couldn't agree more.

It's why I left that world behind.

That must have been a really hard decision for you to make,

to leave LA and come back to St. Gracious.

Oh, yeah, it was.

I definitely needed a change.

I even switched back from digital to film.

How come?

That must be a lot more work.

Yeah, it is, but I love the process.

Capturing real people, real moments and real experiences.

[camera shutter snaps]

Well, I will cheers to that.

-To real experiences. -With real people.

And to new friendships.

To Cole and Kate.

Cheers!

[glasses clink]

Cheers.

Here's the schedule of events we discussed.

This is so exciting.

Fishing tour, cool.

Cake tasting, well that's all I needed to see. I'm in.

Well, there's something for everyone.

Hey, we can probably go golfing before the wedding.

Uh, yeah, maybe not actually.

That's out.

Ok, well we have a lot to get done,

so we should be going, but thank you.

-Ok. See you guys. -Have fun, guys.

-Bye. -Bye.

I think I better skedaddle, as well.

I will see you both tomorrow.

Where Kate goes, we go.

She bought the platinum package,

which means Jessie here will be around a lot.

Sounds like you're in for quite the week.

Oh yeah, you know, I like to keep busy.

Well, I will see you later.

Ok. Bye.

Bye.

Woah.

What was that?

Why wouldn't you tell me Shane Brown

is the brother of the bride?

They've just been so busy lately and-

Ok, I didn't want to add any more stress to your plate.

Stress? I mean, why would I be stressed?

You know, I always photograph everyone

that comes to the vineyard.

That's what I do.

It's not about the photographs, Jess.

I know how you feel about that world;

celebrities, Los Angeles.

After you and Nathan broke up, you left that world behind

and I just wasn't sure how you'd react

to hanging out with another actor again.

Let alone someone as big as Shane Brown.

I mean, so what? He's an actor. It's fine.

Yeah. And Hollywood's biggest heartthrob.

Malibu Heat?

Firefighter Andrew Maclean?

Listen, it's fine.

That was two years ago.

It's all in the past and that is where I intend to keep it.

But what if I told you he was totally staring at you?

Ok. See, this is where I draw the line.

-Ok. I can take a hint. -Mmmhmm.

See you tomorrow at 10:00AM?

Yes.

Maybe set your alarm for 9:00AM, just in case?

Ok. Roger that, boss.

Ok, bye.

Bye.

*

Hey!

Oh, hi.

-Good morning. -Good morning.

You ordered some vines?

Yeah, I did.

Sophia sent you, didn't she?

Yeah.

Well, Kate suggested that I should make myself useful.

Sophia had a list of things she needed help with getting done.

Mmm.

Yeah, this is on the top.

Oh. Of course.

It's a pretty big list.

Aren't you supposed to be on vacation?

You better watch out, Sophia's gonna put you on payroll.

Well, yeah, but working here is pretty relaxing.

I mean, look at that view.

I know.

It's almost perfect for like a photoshoot.

You want to stand in for me for a bit?

Yeah, sure.

I mean, I know how camera shy you can be.

[laughs]

I think I can make an exception.

Just right here?

Move to your right.

Your other right.

Oh.

[laughs]

I was wondering if I could get your help with something.

Oh yeah.

I'm looking to get a gift for Kate,

something meaningful from St. Gracious

to help her remember the wheat-pie.

Figured a Starbucks gift card isn't gonna cut it this time.

[laughs]

Yeah, there's a lot of shops in town.

Why don't you get her something from there?

Great. She loves designer purses.

Oh, uh, yeah. I hate to break it to you

but there's nothing designer in St. Gracious.

Right.

But hey, I have some errands

that I have to run in town later,

so if you want to tag along with me

I could show you around?

Really?

That'd be great.

Ok.

Well, you'd have to hurry though,

because we can't be late for cake tasting.

Oh, don't worry, cake tasting is an event I'll never be late for.

Good.

Ok. I will meet you down by the dock.

Oh, woah, woah, woah.

I thought you were gonna help me?

Oh, right.

Standing in.

Can you give me that megawatt smile you got?

[laughs]

There it is.

That's perfect.

-Ok, um... -I think you gotta...

Oh.

What, do you want me to...

You know what, just pretend like I'm not here.

I'm so sorry. I'm so awkward in photos like this.

Oh, don't be silly.

It always takes a minute to warm up.

-It's totally normal. -Ok.

Wait. Hang on, I got an idea. Don't move.

Is he coming back, or?

No idea.

Never a dull moment with that guy.

Always something up his sleeve.

Wow, you guys must know each other inside and out.

Childhood sweethearts. That's so rare.

Yeah, we do.

He's always got my back.

What about you?

Is there someone in the picture for you?

Me? No. No, no.

Between photography and helping my sister out,

and my parents with the vineyard,

I don't have time to look for love.

Really?

I can already tell you're such a catch.

I can't believe some groomsman hasn't scooped you up yet.

Oh, thank you.

Well, St. Gracious is a vacation spot

and people come here to relax for a few weeks

and they go back to their normal lives.

But, to be honest,

I'm always more comfortable watching love from a distance.

You remind me a lot of someone else I know.

Maybe just haven't met the right person yet.

Yeah, you hit the nail on the head with that one.

Oh.

Oh boy.

Ta da!

Oh, wow.

Check these out.

Found 'em in the guest room closet.

Oh.

Yesterday.

Oh, yeah, that looks good on you, Kate.

This is ridiculous.

Yeah, ridiculously awesome!

Oh, yeah. Oh, now we're talking.

How do I look?

Oh, we should wear these at our wedding.

It would be perfect.

That's great, you guys.

There you go, laughter is the best medicine, right doc?

Is this the best photo you've ever taken?

It's magical.

I knew it.

*

[phone vibrates]

Before you say a word, did you get my email?

Oh, hey Maria.

Uh, yeah, your email.

Shane, yes, and did you read it?

No, actually I've been pretty busy.

You did promise that you would be accessible

by phone and email, did you not?

Yeah, I did say that.

Listen, I know that you want your own space,

but part of the agreement of you going to your sister's wedding

is that you would be accessible and on the clock.

We start shooting next Monday.

And Lindsay's still waiting to hear back

with regards to the revisions.

Ok, ok. I'll get to work.

I don't want to feel like your parent here, Shane.

I'm on your side.

As your agent, it's my job to get the best out of you

and the best for you.

You're right. I'll get to work, I promise.

Uh, I'll talk to you later, Maria.

Hey, you ready to hit the road?

We should have time to hit a couple shops.

Oh, wow.

That's a really amazing notebook.

Oh, this old thing?

Yeah, I'm kind of a stationary snob so,

I know a nice notebook when I see one.

Must be housing some pretty important stuff in there?

It's nothing, really.

Ok. I don't know a lot of people that hold their grocery lists

in an Elizabethan-era style notebook,

but you have a right to your own privacy.

[chuckles]

Thanks.

It's been nice to have some quiet time.

Anyway, I'll go get my stuff, we'll get going.

Ok.

I'll see you up there.

I should start my truck, yep.

*

So, this is downtown St. Gracious?

Mmmhmm.

It's no Rodeo Drive

but it's got its charms and everything you need.

It even has clean fresh air.

Oh yeah, take that in.

It's refreshing, isn't it?

As far as I'm concerned, this is paradise.

Oh, be careful.

Soon you'll be calling your real estate agent.

[laughs] Oh, no.

My agent would never let that happen.

[phone vibrates]

Speaking of agents.

Uh...

Do you want to get that? I don't mind.

No, no, it's ok.

This is just a big week.

We start filming next Monday,

so a lot of people waiting to hear back from me.

Yeah, I bet they want it right now.

Like the faster the better.

Yeah. Yeah, how'd you know?

I've worked with a lot of actors in LA,

and plus, the magazine industry is exactly the same.

I always felt like I was being rushed through my life

and I never got a chance to stop and enjoy it.

Yeah.

I mean, I love being able

to do something for a living that I love,

but I barely have time to catch my breath half the time.

Oh, I hate that feeling.

That industry can be so brutal.

I guess it's just about finding balance.

Depends on what you want, you know?

I gotta make a stop, do you mind?

No, no, not at all.

Ok, come on.

*

Jessie!

So good to see you.

You too.

Hi, my name's Jill.

Shane, nice to meet you.

Oh, I know, Mr. Malibu Heat.

[chuckles]

So good to meet you.

So, what do I owe the pleasure?

Oh, Shane's sister hired me to photograph their wedding,

the platinum package.

Oh.

So, I'm definitely gonna need your help

developing all this film.

-Oh, of course, sweetie. -Thank you.

So, I guess I'll be seeing a lot of you two this week.

Uh, yeah, you certainly will.

You don't meet many young people

who appreciate the process of photography like this one.

Every photo I develop from you is so well-executed.

Oh, stop.

She's just saying that.

No, I mean, look around.

Most of these photos are ones Jessie took.

You took all these?

Mmmhmm.

Jill and I have had a deal since high school.

I taught her how to develop negatives

and she supplied me with these beautiful photos for my walls.

Hey, what if you did something like that for your sister?

You could take like a really cool photo for her.

What a sweet idea,

and I could put it in a custom frame.

Yeah.

Oh, I don't know.

I only have a cell phone,

it takes pretty good photos

but my skill level tops out at selfie.

I'm sure that Jessie can help you.

If you're too busy I'm sure I could figure it out.

No, I can find time.

You'd do that?

Yeah, I'm the wedding photographer.

It's almost like it's my job.

-Ok, thank you. -Yeah, you're welcome.

It's settled then.

I will be right back.

I have some beautiful grey pine samples I want to show you.

She loves her grey pine.

[laughs]

What about something like that?

Wow.

That is incredible.

*

That strawberry shortcake is seriously delicious.

We could do fresh local strawberries on top, like this.

[camera shutter snaps]

All that shopping made me hungry.

Did you try it?

Oh, the cake tasting's not for me, I'm working.

Oh, see, that's the photo I've been waiting for.

What?

[laughs]

Nothing.

You're good.

You gotta try it. Seriously.

[laughs] No.

No, no, no, no.

I'm related to this person.

Yeah, I know.

[laughing]

*

Cake for lunch and an afternoon in the sun?

I can get used to this.

Big city boy turns farmer.

Maybe.

Look at me, a natural.

Hey, now.

You guys be careful around those grapes.

You can't rush this process.

How long have you been in the business, William?

Oh, let's see.

It's gotta be going on 30 years now.

Please, call me Bud.

That's a big commitment.

Yeah, but it must be nice to have all the space to yourself.

It is.

But we've always loved sharing it with visitors.

You know, ever since Jessie and Sophia have teamed up,

this little vineyard

has definitely increased in business.

They seem to make a good team.

Yeah, and they're very different people,

but somehow they work really well together.

You know, I think that's one of the secrets

to a long-lasting relationship.

Balance.

That, don't forget to tell her you love her,

as much as you can.

That is who should be writing my vows for me.

You haven't written your vows yet?

Ok, it's a work in progress, alright?

Listen, I'm not good with words like you.

Kate's good at expressing herself, but I am not,

as you can tell.

She's a psychologist. Don't be so hard on yourself.

If you want some help,

I'd be happy to look them over if you want.

Yeah?

Promise to tell me if they suck, though.

Don't put so much pressure on yourself.

Kate already knows you love her.

Just speak from the heart.

Ok, I'll give it another shot.

Thanks man, appreciate it.

Get back to work.

We're not paying you by the hour.

Alright, on the board.

Okay, bumble bee, right?

Yes. Sun?

Uh, moon?

Honeymoon!

That's it!

[laughs]

Another record breaking time, ladies.

Shane, you're up.

That's not fair. That was way too easy.

Oh, stop.

What, do you guys need some help?

Jessie can guess for you.

What, no, no, no, no. I'm just here to work.

We'll take it.

Oh, ok.

And don't let us down.

Come on, sit down.

Listen, we need all the help we can get, ok?

Mr. Hollywood here keeps dropping the ball.

Oh, you've got to be kidding me.

Oh, come on man, don't do this.

You've got this.

Ok.

You have to get one.

Ok, ok.

You ready?

Yeah, yeah.

And, go!

Uh...

Oh, uh, bride? Bride?

A wedding dress?

Oh, I got it, the thing with the thing

and the presents and champagne...

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh!

Come on!

Bridal shower!

Yes.

-Yes! -Yes!

It was the umbrella, 'cause it's all the...

-I can't believe you got that. -It was good.

Thank you again for helping me tidy up.

I owe you, seriously.

Especially after your rendition of bridezilla gave us the win.

Everyone has a little bridezilla in them, I guess.

Who knew, maybe acting is my true calling?

Oh, I'd be happy to trade places with you if you'd like.

Yeah, I don't know that buff fireman

is in my repertoire so, sorry.

Darn.

Oh, is someone having the vacation blues already?

[sighs]

I feel bad.

There's so many people that would be happy

to be in my position

but I'm dreading going back.

It's hard to explain.

Well, try me.

I guess being here has made me realize

that there's more to life than just working.

Like, seeing you and your family with the vineyard.

I mean, you work hard, but you have fun.

I want work to be fun again.

So, uh, you don't find acting fun?

I mean...

Deep down the passion's always going to be there.

But I can't help but feel burnt out.

And being here has just been so nice.

I've had time to myself, time for hobbies.

What kind of hobbies?

Uh, I do a little writing, occasionally.

When I have time.

See, that explains the fancy notebook!

What kind of writing?

Uh, I... I write a little bit of poetry.

I don't even know if it's any good.

Well, all art is subjective.

I could read it, if you want.

Tell you what I think.

I don't know.

I mean, vulnerability is part of being an artist.

And who knows, you could be the next Edgar Allan Poe.

I could give you a nickname, like Shanespear.

I think that has a great ring to it.

-Alright. -Really?

I can't believe you just said that.

Really.

[laughter]

What about you?

You seem so secretive with your work.

You ever thought about putting yourself out there again?

I mean, "Blush Bride" would be lucky

to feature your photography.

Oh, thank you, but my photography is for my clients.

They're the only voices that matter to me.

You sure that's it?

Nothing you're afraid of?

I could ask you the same thing.

Uh, I should go.

But, I wanted to ask,

do you feel like meeting up at sunrise tomorrow

for your photo project?

-Sunrise? -Mmmhmm.

Are you sure you're up for that?

Sophia said mornings aren't your strong suit.

Ok.

I will make an exception.

Photography's all about lighting, trust me.

And I will take you to one of my favorite spots.

We can take the boat.

Alright, I'm in.

Ok.

I will meet you at the dock in the morning.

Ok.

Goodnight, Jessie.

Goodnight, Shane.

The Lake.

There you go.

-That sunrise was amazing. -Mmmhmm.

Good call on the coffee.

How'd you know I like it black?

Uh, the tabloids. They can be oddly specific.

You've been reading about me?

Don't let it go to your head.

[laughs]

I can tell why this is one of your favorite spots.

Yeah, some of my fondest memories are out here.

Do you have a favorite spot that you like to escape to?

I do.

Back in college I used to spend a lot of time

in this little bookshop on Sunset Boulevard.

Oh. What were you studying?

Actually, I'm a theater major.

Right, of course.

That's why this poetry is so good.

I hope there's more where that came from.

-Really? -Yes.

You're talented.

Shouldn't be afraid to share that with the world.

Thank you.

Writing was actually my first love.

I thought if acting didn't pan out,

I'd become a playwright.

I still wonder if I made the right decision or not,

pursuing acting.

Why can't you have both?

I guess I could.

But as soon as I started landing gigs,

I just got swept up in it all.

I haven't been this inspired to write in a long time.

You know, I had a thought,

what if you got one of your poems engraved

on the picture frame you're making for your sister?

On the frame, that's going to hang on her wall, forever?

Yeah.

That... that's too much pressure.

Oh, come on. She'll love it.

Just trust me.

I mean, I did write a few of them with her in mind.

[phone vibrates]

Hey, Kate.

I can't believe this is happening.

They cancelled!

How am I supposed to find another string quartet?

Don't worry, we will find a solution.

We'll be right there.

We should get going. I'll explain on the way.

Aye-aye, captain.

[camera shutter snaps]

I can't believe this is happening.

I had the best string quartet in the entire State of California

bringing us down the aisle.

It's always been my dream.

Just like our parents' wedding.

I'm sure we could find another string quartet.

No. I've already called everyone.

It's too short of notice.

Everyone who's anyone is already booked up.

Well, I could always break out the old banjo?

What? If worse comes to worst.

Thanks, Bud. At least it would be live music.

Why don't you both go and relax in the guest house

and we'll try and come up with a solution?

Really?

Thanks, you guys.

I'm sorry. I'll be ok.

It's just hard when you've got your heart set on something.

Well, our day just took a turn.

There has to be something we can do.

I have to get back and help the decorator,

but maybe you two could put your heads together

and come up with a solution?

Uh, Jessie, if you're too busy...

Uh, no. No, Sophia, you're right.

If we work together we can come up with something faster.

Awesome. Good luck, you two.

Well, I must say, you handled your first wedding mishap well.

I learned from the best.

Everything will work out just the way it should, right?

Exactly.

Look at our girls, rising to the occasion.

Just like their mother.

Well, I never thought I'd say this,

but it's kind of nice to have someone else

take the lead around here.

Really?

Maybe Sophia's right.

Maybe we do need to look at taking a step back.

We have been talking about retirement.

I know.

I just don't think I'm ready to say goodbye to the vineyard yet.

Retirement doesn't mean you can't still be involved.

Well, what does it mean?

It means...

Look, it's a beautiful day

and we've got nothing but time to kill.

Let's go have some fun.

Well, alright, sir.

Let's go.

*

She wasn't lying.

String quartets are in high demand.

Some of these require six-months notice.

Yeah, I'm not surprised.

This is peak wedding vendor season.

It's too bad the day took a turn for the worst.

I had a lot of fun today.

I just had seeing Kate so worked up.

She should be out enjoying St. Gracious.

Jessie?

That's it.

What's it?

Come on, if we leave now we'll make it before the bell.

What bell?

*

Are we even aloud to be here?

Shh.

[classical music] *

Am I hearing things,

or does that sound like exactly what we're looking for?

Mmmhmm. Come on.

[classical music] *

*

So, you guys are all interested in helping us out?

Oh, that's so great.

Sophia will reach out with all the details

and we'll see you on Saturday.

I haven't seen them this quiet in ages,

but I think they're a little star-struck.

It's not every day a celebrity walks into my classroom.

Thank you so much, Meghan. You really are saving the day.

Anything for one of my favorite students.

If there's anything we can do in return,

please let us know.

Well, actually, we're always looking for people

to revive our community theater program.

We should stay in touch.

A girl can dream, right?

I'll definitely keep this handy. Thank you.

Ah, it's my pleasure.

And I supposed I'll be seeing you both on Saturday?

See you then.

-Bye, Meghan. -Bye.

[classical music] *

*

It's all starting to feel real.

I can actually see myself walking down the aisle.

They are pretty incredible even on repeat.

So, you and Jessie seem to be

spending a lot of time together this week, huh?

Oh, no.

I know that trick.

What trick?

That was your therapist voice.

No, that was my curious sister voice.

I can't help it.

You two seem to be really getting along.

I've just been busy.

There's a lot that I've been helping out with.

Right.

What have you two actually been doing?

She's just been showing me around.

Oh, lucky you.

Local tour guides usually aren't free

and beautiful and talented and smart, and funny and single.

Good point.

Jessie is pretty special.

Mmmhmm.

She just gets it, you know?

It's been so long since I've had a friend who hears me.

I feel like I can really talk to her.

I knew it.

I've seen the way that you two look at each other.

I haven't seen you look that happy

in a really long time.

Yeah, well, happy or not, it's complicated.

I know.

It always is.

My only advice to you is to remain open.

That's when you find what you really want in life.

Well, whatever you're doing seems to be working,

so I'll keep that in mind.

Well, that's all I can ask.

Can we watch it again?

[laughs]

[classical music] *

*

*

Hey.

Hey, you.

Good morning.

How'd it go last night?

Amazing.

She loved the string quartet.

Looks like mission accomplished.

Oh, that's great.

Wow.

I can't believe how great these turned out.

Yeah, you did a wonderful job.

See, it's not that hard.

All you need is a great location, some good light.

And a great teacher.

Oh, thank you.

I really like this one.

Well, they're all so great.

Why this one?

Because, it reminds me of that moment

before the sunrise when everything's fresh and new.

Kind of like, Kate and Cole.

It's a new adventure, it's a new day.

Well said.

I think you're right, we have the one.

Nice!

Yeah.

Alright, I'll let Jill know.

And then when you're done with your poem,

she can have it engraved.

Sounds like a plan.

You know, despite everything that happened yesterday,

I had a lot of fun.

It was fun, wasn't it?

I, uh, I have another favor to ask.

Yeah, what's up.

You know, you showed me all the cool shops in town,

I was wondering, hoping, that you could show me

some of St. Gracious' famous restaurants.

Wonder if you wanted to join me, this evening?

Ok.

Great.

It's a date.

Ok.

See you tonight.

Bye Shane.

It fits like a glove.

And don't forget, the piece de resistance.

[camera shutter snaps]

Honestly, Kate, you look like you stepped out of a magazine.

Thanks, ladies.

It's all coming together.

Our guests arrive tomorrow

and then it's finally the day I've been dreaming of.

I should get going. I'm going to be late for wine tasting.

Wine and dresses in a single day?

This place really is magic.

[camera shutter snaps]

Thank goodness you and Shane saved the day

with that string quartet.

Kate's been glowing ever since.

Yeah, you know I've got your back.

You two seem to be getting along for two people who just met.

Yeah, there's a lot more to Shane Brown than meet the eye.

Sounds like you both have a lot in common.

I guess,

but, uh, it doesn't make things any less complicated.

How so?

He asked me on a date this morning

and I just don't know if I'm ready to do this again.

His life is under a microscope.

Yeah, but he seems so down to earth.

He's in vacation mode.

As soon as he goes back to work

it's gonna be auditions and photoshoots and interviews...

Did you say yes to the date or not?

Well, yeah.

Just let it happen.

We both know when you're true to yourself,

things will fall into place.

Yeah, thanks Soph.

I'm guessing this means you haven't kissed him yet?

Ok.

I'm just curious.

What?

You gotta tell me something.

Fine.

*

Bingo.

[phone vibrates]

Shane here.

Hey, Shane. It's me again.

Oh, Lindsay.

So, tell me, are you around tomorrow?

I want to grab a drink with you

and chat through a few scenes in person

before we start shooting next week.

No, sorry. I thought you knew. I'm out of town this week.

Oh, how did you score vacation time so close to filming?

Pays to be leading male, I suppose.

No, actually, it's a family commitment.

Well, we all have families.

Where did you jet off to? Dominican, Tahiti?

Please let me live vicariously through you.

Fine, but if you keep it hush-hush.

I'm in St. Gracious for my sister's wedding.

Oh, a wedding? When are you back?

I get back Sunday evening.

I'm free Sunday.

How about we meet for a drink down in West Hollywood?

I hate to be a drag but I'll need to get my rest

and catch up on lines.

But I will see you first thing on set, Monday morning.

Oh, ok.

I'll see you on set.

Ok. I will see you then, Lindsay.

Hey, Chris.

I called because I have some interesting information

about Shane Brown,

your team might want to know about.

So, what do you think of my vows?

Come on man, say something. You're killing me.

They're great.

Oh.

It's good a hook, a beginning, middle and end

and just the right about of cheese.

See, you had it in you all along.

Yeah, well that and some help from Mr. Hollywood.

That's what friends are for.

Ohhhh, whew!

That is a huge weight off my chest.

Now I can finally get out of here.

Kate's probably starting to think I'm getting cold feet.

Ok, anxiety's gone, I'm starving.

You want to grab a bite?

Uh, I would, but I'm actually going out in a little bit.

Oh, with who?

Jessie.

Oh, right, right, right.

Kate filled me in about that.

Ok, Romeo, alright. Enjoy your afternoon.

Pulitzer.

*

*

*

[notification alert]

[notification alert]

*

Wow.

You see, this is what I'm talking about.

So, I tell you I want to check out

one of the best restaurants in St. Gracious

and you take me to a bowling alley.

Mmmhmm.

This is essentially a rite of passage.

I'm just trying to give you

an authentic St. Gracious experience.

I was expecting a five-course meal.

Oh, they'll be five courses, I promise.

The first course is a milkshake.

It's tradition that we take the first sip together.

Oh, ok. Bottom up.

Mmm.

-That's good. -Mmmhmm.

It's so simple but so life-changing, all at once.

You really do enjoy the simple things, don't you?

Yeah. You will too.

All it takes is a milkshake.

Honestly, I'm already thinking about

when I can go back to St. Gracious again.

Oh.

Especially since I've had so much fun

the last couple of days.

Yeah.

Me too.

Um, I got a little something for you.

No.

It's kind of silly.

[chuckles]

You didn't have to do that.

I couldn't help myself.

It's just a little something for you to remember me by.

Now, uh, let me show you how it's done.

You seem pretty confident.

Yeah, well, Mom and Dad used to drag Sophia and I here

every week for family night.

The pink balls are the lucky ones.

I'm guessing you haven't seen many of my movies then.

Uh, yeah. No, I've seen a few. Good luck.

Four months training for a biopic,

I played a world-famous bowler.

Yeah, you gotta be kidding me.

It's not too late to switch up to the mini golf

down the street instead.

Or I could give you a few pointers if you like.

What did you say about pointers, something?

Oh, it's on.

Challenge accepted.

[camera shutter snaps]

Oh, that was good! I liked it.

Yes. That was...

-Not bad, huh? -Yeah, it was good.

You know, I don't think I've ever met someone

who was almost as good at bowling as me.

I had no choice but to learn.

It was for work, after all.

Oh, yeah.

I always thought that was so cool about being an actor,

was learning new skills.

That's one of the benefits for sure.

You should see my karate skills.

Oh, wow.

Took me by surprise.

[laughing]

And the uh, money can't be bad either.

Yeah, but there's only so much money can buy.

You have to love what you do every day,

especially when you work in film.

The hours can be so long.

You must know all about that with your job, too?

Uh, yeah.

Photography doesn't really feel like work to me.

I can literally take photos all day and develop all night.

Yeah.

I feel that way with my writing. I can get lost in it for hours.

I'm not gonna lie. I'm having a bit of writers block today,

which isn't good, 'cause I need to get my poem to Jill

by tomorrow morning.

Well, sir, you are in luck.

Staring at a sunset is the ultimate cure

for writer's block.

And St. Gracious has some of the best sunsets in California,

How do you know that?

Oh, that's what we say to people when they arrive.

Don't forget to stare at the horizon,

or you're gonna miss the magic.

There's only so many sunsets in a lifetime, you know?

I guess you're right. We're in luck.

Yeah.

I guess we are.

[laughing]

*

*

*

*

[phone ringing]

Voicemail: Hey, you've reached Jessie. Leave a message.

Hey, Jessie, I'm calling to let you know

that I finished the poem and I got the gift.

Thank you again for all your help,

give me a call when you have a chance.

[camera shutter snaps]

Woah!

What do you think you're doing?

Are the rumors true? Are you and Lindsay official?

No, we're not official. No photos, please.

People want to know if you're off the market.

Who's the other girl in the photos?

-What's her name? -Seriously?

She's just my sister's wedding photographer.

No photos, please.

Come on, I didn't come all this way for nothing.

I can't believe it's Friday already.

The wedding's tomorrow.

I know, this week flew by.

Yeah.

Oh, Soph, when people see what you can accomplish,

the business is gonna go through the roof.

Thanks.

What can I say? I love my job.

And just imagine the day I get to be your wedding planner.

I think you're getting a little ahead of yourself.

I'm missing a pretty key part of that equation.

I know, but maybe not for much longer.

[chuckles]

How was the date last night?

Tell me you didn't take him to Bonnie's Burgers and Bowling.

Of course, I did. It's a classic.

I'm not going to pretend I have refined culinary taste

when all I really want is a burger and a milkshake.

Besides, he seemed to really like it.

Hm. A match made in Heaven.

My lips are sealed.

We should probably get going, another busy day is ahead.

Ok. I'll get my gear.

Ok.

[notification alert]

Another day, another woman.

Actor Shane Brown is at it again.

Oh, is that about Shane? Turn it up.

You sure you want me to do that?

Is he caught in the middle of another love triangle?

A love triangle?

There is definitely chemistry between Shane and I.

I'm hoping we can translate that onto the screen.

Now that we're going be spending a lot more time together.

[phone rings]

That's him now. I have to be going.

Thanks!

But, is he seeing another woman?

Paparazzi: Who's the other girl in the photos?

She's just my sister's wedding photographer.

No photos, please.

Sounds like another summer fling for actor, Shane Brown.

[exhales]

Jessie, I'm sure this is nothing.

I knew it.

I knew I should have just...

Ugh! Trusted my instincts with him.

Maybe there's an explanation for this,

just don't overthink it.

I mean, you heard what the reporter said.

It's just a vacation fling for him.

And now, I'm caught up in this mess.

This is the last thing I wanted.

I'm sure this will all blow over,

we'll just lay low and everything will be fine.

And they're actors.

Maybe it's just a publicity stunt?

Yeah, you're right. He's an actor.

He's exactly what I left behind in LA.

I can't keep making the same mistakes over and over again.

Don't be so hard on yourself.

Maybe it's just a misunderstanding.

No, I think I understand it pretty well.

I need to just focus on my job and that's it.

[sighs]

[exhales]

[door opens]

You ready to head out?

Hey, Kate.

Ready as I'll ever be.

I saw the news.

Right. You know that Jessie isn't talking to me.

I'm trying to get ahold of her all day.

Yeah, they're saying all kinds of things about her

in the media.

I'm sure it's a lot to handle.

Tell me about it.

Hey, don't let them get to you.

We both know you.

Just try to understand where she's coming from.

I want to.

I just thought she knew how the media can twist things.

Uh, Shane...

It's more complicated than you think.

How's that?

Ethan Miller?

She never told me that.

Yeah.

I'm sure having your past dug up for the world to see

can't be easy.

Just... be patient.

Let her talk to you when she's ready.

You're right.

Leaving her a million messages

isn't going to get her to talk to me.

You did not leave her a million messages, did you?

No.

Maybe.

Let's go.

Jessie, where are you?

Jessie, where have you been?

If we don't get things started,

Mom and Dad are going to start their comedy routine.

Oh, well, I didn't want to be early.

You're going to have to talk to him eventually, you know?

Just one more day and he'll be gone.

He'll never even remember I existed.

And hopefully America won't either.

[phone vibrates]

Something tells me that's not going to happen.

Now, come one, we gotta get this show on the road.

Thank you.

-You gotta try this. -Smiles.

-Let's get one more. -One more?

Yeah, yeah.

[camera shutter snaps]

[chatter]

Cole: ...This sparkling wine is incredible.

Kate: What can I say, I was pleasantly surprised.

It actually has turned out really well.

Excuse me.

Hey, Jessie.

Do you have a sec?

Uh, I'll be back out in a minute.

I just needed to do a quick reload.

Look, I know you saw the news.

You have to let me explain.

Shane, it's ok.

I think I got it.

It's not what it looks like, I swear.

Really?

'Cause it looks like my face is plastered

all over the internet.

I know, and I am so sorry.

I have no idea how they found me here.

I didn't mean to get caught up in this mess.

Well, it's a little bit late for that.

The entire country is talking about me again.

Ethan Miller's ex, caught up in another Hollywood scandal.

This is exactly what I promised myself

I wouldn't let happen again.

I should have trusted my gut.

You know how the media twists things.

I'm sure by tomorrow, all of this will be blown over.

Shane, it doesn't matter.

There's always gonna be another headline.

I mean, I came here so I could have a quiet,

peaceful life.

I've been down this road before.

I know how it ends.

Your career comes first, it always will.

No, not this time. You're different.

No.

Shane, you said it yourself.

I'm just your sister's wedding photographer.

You know that's not what I meant.

I was just, I was trying...

I'm sorry, I have to get back.

*

What do you mean we can't do anything?

Maria: That's exactly what I mean.

This will all blow over, like it always does.

This isn't the first time we've had a media scandal.

I don't need it to blow over. I need it to go away.

This time they've gone too far.

I don't know how much more of this I can handle.

Well, you should have thought of that

before you started seeing this girl.

We've not exactly been seeing each other.

Oh, good, then you and Lindsay share a happy photo

of the two of you on set together

and bingo-bango, problem solved!

Now, do you want the bad news first?

Is there some good news?

Your flight's been cancelled

and I had to reschedule it to this evening.

What?

How's that even possible?

I thought we're flying private jet?

You were, but it's in the shop for maintenance

and, unfortunately, the only commercial flight

I could get you leaves tonight.

Maria, you can't do that.

Why in the world would you do this without consulting me?

Shane, you are not flying out of LAX here.

It's a small town

and it's the only flight that would get you back in time.

But if it's any consolation,

you'll be able to stay for most of the reception.

This is the biggest day of my sister's life.

And you've had a week to make the best of it.

Walk her down the aisle with a smile on your face

and I will see you tomorrow.

Look, I'm sorry.

I hate to be the...

Bad guy. Yeah.

I'll forward you the flight details.

Bye, Shane!

Bye.

[camera shutter snaps]

Looks good.

Alright.

Well?

Yeah? Ok.

[classical music] *

*

[wedding march playing] *

*

*

*

*

Everyone please be seated.

Cole, who knew 30 years ago

that we would be standing here today.

I love you.

I love that I still get butterflies

every time I see you.

I love that you never fail to make me laugh

every time I feel anxious.

You're my best friend and you are my dream come true.

And I, Kate Brown, pinky promise to love you forever,

in sickness and in health

and through anything that life throws our way.

[clears throat]

Ok.

Kate, as far back as I remember,

you've always been there for me.

When I rode my first bike, you were there.

You were also there when I failed my driver's test,

three times.

I wasn't a good driver.

No, still not.

You are beautiful, compassionate, intelligent,

you always laugh at my bad jokes

and you have the ability to make people feel like they're home.

No matter where they are.

Today, I promise to love you more than yesterday

and less than tomorrow.

For the rest of our lives.

Oh yeah, we need these.

Cole, do you take Kate to be your wife?

I do.

[laughs]

And Kate, do you take Cole to be your husband?

I do.

I now pronounce you husband and wife.

You may now kiss the bride.

[cheering and applause]

[cheering and applause]

Woo!

[guests chatter]

Hey, guys.

Well?

Mr. and Mrs. Dylan. How does it feel?

Amazing. We waited so long for this.

And listen, I gotta tell you,

that string quartet sounds incredible.

Turns out St. Gracious is full of talent.

Now that the hard part's over, I'm ready to party.

Alright.

You want to take some pictures in the vineyard first?

That's a great idea.

Hey, shouldn't you be going?

Please don't miss your flight because of us.

I am not leaving till I absolutely have to.

Plus, the airports close by

and I still have a surprise for you guys.

Oh, I thought your flight was tomorrow?

Change of plans, work stuff.

You know how it is.

Right.

Right, well we should get these photos started

so you two can put your dancing shoes on.

Yes, follow me.

Alright, Mrs. Dylan.

I've never seen this place looking so beautiful.

Mom, thanks.

But I think next time I'll put more sashing

around the entryway, maybe a couple more lights.

Sweetheart, I just wanted you to know that your father and I

are really proud of the way you handled this wedding.

Really?

Yes.

You've shown us that our little vineyard is capable

of doing big things and I've never seen it look so beautiful.

Thanks, Mom.

You really think so?

Yes, and I think it's time

you take on more control around here.

I know you have big ideas for a new website and marketing plan.

I think we can be big.

A major wedding destination.

Well, with you leading the charge I think we could too.

You really mean that?

Yeah.

Now, what do you say we get this reception started?

Here we go.

[guests chatter]

If we could all please take our seats.

Thank you all for coming.

It's almost time for dinner, but before we start,

we have a few speeches from some of Cole and Kate's

closest family and friends.

And we will begin with the best man,

Kate's older brother, Shane.

Shane, Shane, Shane!

[clapping]

Thank you, Sophia.

When I first arrived in St. Gracious,

I didn't know that I would fall in love.

In love with the mountains, the lake,

the way the sun shines on the grapes,

the people.

I knew that this day, and this place,

would be something you'd remember

for the rest of your lives.

And what better way to remember something,

than through a photograph?

With the help of a friend, I learned to take a photo.

And no, not on my cell phone.

I also learned to not be afraid to be myself,

that if you're open, and if you're brave enough

to take control of your life

that you can find true happiness.

And in your case, love.

For years,

I've lined the pages of my notebooks with poetry and plays.

I've always dreamt of sharing my works,

but I was too afraid...

Until today.

[crowd is in aww]

Oh, look at that.

I remember all the times we shared,

when we were both just so small.

When I look upon the rising sun, I can see it all.

Although years brought loss,

we overcame.

And love still found you all the same.

May your hearts be full and your dreams come true.

The strength you share will carry you through.

[applause]

I also wrote one more poem to thank the people

who made this trip so special.

To see a sunrise or feel the waters warmth.

To find a place of silence and rest upon its shores.

A smile from the ones you love,

treasures money never be bought.

All summed up in photographs to never be forgot.

Looking back at memories just didn't feel quite right.

But now, I see the missing piece

was hidden in plain sight.

Thank you all so much

for making us feel so welcome here at St. Gracious.

Kate, Cole, I love you both so much.

[applause]

Have fun tonight.

Ok. Thanks, buddy.

Jessie, what are you still doing here?

That man is in love with you.

What do you mean, "what am I still doing here?"

I pushed him away, and now it's too late.

Plus, I can't chase after him.

What, am I going to miss the cake-cutting ceremony?

It's one of the most important photos.

You've always had my back.

Now it's my turn to have yours.

Really? Are you sure?

Very.

Now go, you have to catch him before he leaves.

Ok. Yeah, ok. It's worth a shot.

Good luck.

Shane?

[knocking]

Shane?

Shane, are you still here?

Hey.

Don't you have a plane to catch?

Don't you have a wedding to photograph?

Yeah, I do.

Before you left, I had to tell you,

your poem, it really inspired me.

You made me realize that I can't be afraid

to share my photography with the world either.

So, I am going to do the autumn issue of "Blush Bride"

and keep my job here, at the vineyard.

Best of both worlds.

Jessie, that's amazing.

Thank you.

And I'm sorry for the way that I reacted

when those photos came out of us.

I know you're different.

And if I'm being honest, I was really starting to like you.

And I didn't want to say it.

I thought you'd break my heart.

I was too.

You know, I always preferred to watch love from a distance.

Until I met you.

And then, as soon as I opened up,

everything got so complicated.

Um, complicated. Yeah, that's one way of putting it.

[laughing]

I haven't smiled this much in a long time.

This place is everything I've ever wanted.

You, your family, this town.

You showed me what it's like to really belong somewhere.

It's too bad you have to leave. I'm really gonna miss you.

I don't want to leave either.

Do you remember that day out on the boat,

you said something to me that really stuck.

I always thought I had to choose between acting and writing.

But maybe you're right, maybe I can have both.

How so?

After this season of Malibu Heat,

I'm only taking on projects that I truly believe in.

And, I spoke to Meghan and she said that the school

would be happy to hire me to run

the community theater program in my spare time.

Oh, how are you going run

a community theater program all the way from LA?

I'm not.

I made an offer on the house across the lake.

Turns out you were right.

About what?

It all starts with a milkshake.
