WHICH MAKES HERTHE QUEEN OF ALL WIVES.

I FOUND HERON MY LAST THRIFT STORE RUN.

AND THIS IS THE PERFECT HAT.

OH, I'M SO GLAD YOU'RE HERE.

EVERY TIMEI WALKED INTO "EVER AFTER,"

I WOULD BREAK OUT INTO HIVESJUST LOOKING AT THE TULLE.

WELL, I'M HAPPYTO REPORT

THAT HERE, AT "SO YOU SAID YES,"WE ARE 100% TULLE-FREE.

I JUST HOPEI ACTUALLY GET TO WEAR IT.

OH, REMEMBER,WE'VE TALKED ABOUT THIS, OKAY?

WANTS TO SPEND YOUR HONEYMOONJUSOMEWHERE HE CAN GOLFE

DOES NOT MEANTHAT YOUR MARRIAGE

IS HEADED DOWNHILLBEFORE IT'S EVEN STARTED.

YOU'RE RIGHT.

I'M DOING THE GLASS-HALF-EMPTYTHING AGAIN.

LET'S TALK ABOUTYOUR CHILDHOOD.

IS THAT WHEN THAT STARTED?

MAYA'S GETTING

HER MASTER'SIN PSYCHOLOGY,

AND THAT IS WHY

SHE IS GOING TOGO BACK TO STUDYING

RATHER THAN PRACTICINGON THE CUSTOMERS.

[DOOR CREAKS]

EXCUSE ME?

OH! UH,SHE'S IN THE DRESSING ROOM.

IT'S REALLY GOOD THATYOU DIDN'T SEE HER IN HER DRESS.

BY THE WAY, YOU MIGHT WANTTO NIX THE GOLFING

ON YOUR HONEYMOON.

OIS BOTH PARTNERSYMAINTAINING INDIVIDUAL INTERESTS

IN ADDITIONTO WHAT THEY SHARE TOGETHER,

BUT IN THIS CASE,SHE'S FEELING A LITTLE...

FRAGILE.

-I THOUGHT THAT MAYBE--I WOULD THINK ABOUT--

...THINGS THAT YOU COULDDO TOGETHER ON YOUR HONEYMOON

RATHER THAN PLAYING A ROUNDOF 24 HOLES ON THE GOLF COURSE.

-[CAR HORN HONKING]-[GASPS] MY CAR!

THAT'S WHY I CAME IN.

IF YOU HURRY,YOU MIGHT BE ABLE TO FIND OUT

WHICH IMPOUND LOTHE'S TAKING IT TO...

[SIGHS SYMPATHETICALLY]:AHH...

SORRY ABOUT YOUR CAR.

I'M SAM.

IT WAS NICELISTENING TO YOU,

BUT I'VE GOT A VERYIMPORTANT MEETING,

WITH A GOLF BALL.

OH, AND BY THE WAY?

A ROUND IS 18, NOT 24.

OOPS. SORRY, LADIES.

[♪]

HI, STEVEN. HEY!

LOVE BEING JUDGEDBY COMPLETE STRANGERS.

I HATE TOBURST YOUR BUBBLE,

BUT I OPENED MY SHOPFOR THE NON-BRIDEZILLAS.

I HELP BRIDES FIND A DRESSTHAT REFLECTS WHO THEY ARE

RATHER THAN WHAT A MAGAZINETELLS THEM THEY SHOULD BE.

THAT'S VERY NOBLE OF YOU.

YOUR WEDDINGDOESN'T NEED TO BE

AN IDEALIZED PRESENTATIONOF WHO YOU ARE

WHILE TOTALLY CUTTING OFFTHE CIRCULATION IN YOUR TOES.

IT'S SIMPLY THE FIRST DAYOF THE REST OF YOUR LIFE,

WITH REALLY GOOD FOOD

AND PROFESSIONALMAKEUP.

MM! WELL.

BUT THERE'S AN INHERENTFLAW IN YOUR ARGUMENT.

WHAT'S THAT?

THAT, AT THE END OF THE DAY,ALL WOMEN--

NO MATTER HOW ACCOMPLISHED,HOW INDEPENDENT--

ONCE THAT ENGAGEMENT RING GOESON THAT FINGER,

THEY GO BRIDEZONKERS.

"BRIDEZONKERS."

CUTE. DID YOU COME UPWITH THAT YOURSELF?

NO, I SAW ITON URBANDICTIONARY.COM.

-ARE YOU MARRIED?-NO.

-BEEN MARRIED?UH-UH.

-HAVE A SISTER?-ONLY CHILD.

AH. OKAY.

NOW I SEE WHERE

ALL OF YOUR WEDDING EXPERIENCECOMES FROM.

BELIEVE ME, I HAVEA LOT MORE EXPERIENCE

AND WATCHINGSAY YESTO THE DRESSDOESN'T COUNT.DMIT.

I HAVE TO GET BACKTO MY OFFICE.

BUT, UH, GOOD LUCKWITH EVERYTHING.

AND, UM, IF, UH...

IF ONE OF YOUR CLIENTS

SUES, FOR, YOU KNOW,

A SLIPPED DISKFROM SEQUIN OVERLOAD,

GIVE ME A CALL.

WE HAPPEN TO BE

A SEQUIN-FREE ESTABLISHMENT,SO...

[♪]

[TELEPHONE RINGS]

[SIGHS] HEY, MOM.

NO, I DID NOT TELL BEVERLY

THAT SHE COULD SET ME UPWITH HER DENTIST.

BUT EVEN IF SHE DID,WHAT WOULD BE WRONG WITH THAT?

I KNOW YOU JUST WANTWHAT'S BEST FOR ME,

AND, MOM, AT THIS MOMENT,WHAT'S BEST FOR ME

IS TO GET BACK TO WORK,

SO I'LL HAVE TALK TO YOU SOON,OKAY?

THANKS FOR THE CALL.BYE, MOM.

OKAY.

YEP. BYE, MOM.

[♪]

[ANNABELLE]:WELL, WHAT IF

WE RUN OUT OF FOODFOR THE PARTY?

UNLESS AN ENTIRESMALL COUNTRY CRASHES IT,

WE'RE GOOD.

OH. IT'S FROM THAT LAWYER GUY.

HOW'D HE GETMY EMAIL?

"THANKS FOR THE INVITETO YOUR PARTY.

"UNFORTUNATELY,I HAVE A PRIOR COMMITMENT,

BUT IF I DON'T GET OUT TOO LATE,I'LL TRY AND STOP BY."

I-I DIDN'T INVITE HIMTO THE PARTY.

I FOUND HIS CARDON YOUR DESK.

WELL, I'M JUST TRYING TO FOSTER

GOOD RELATIONSHIPSWITH OUR NEIGHBORS.

OKAY, MAYA.

TRY APPLYING TO THE AMBASSADORPOSITION SOMEPLACE ELSE.

YOU CAN'T AVOID DATING FOREVER.

I'M NOT AVOIDING ANYTHING.

I'M STARTING A BUSINESS,

SO ALL OF MY ENERGYHAS TO GO TOWARDS THAT.

YEAH, AND BACK WHEN

YOU WERE A STARAT THE AD AGENCY,

ALL YOUR ENERGYWENT TOWARDS THAT.

IT'S LIKE YOU CAN'T WAITTO BE 70 ALREADY,

SO YOU'LL HAVE A VALID EXCUSENOT TO DATE.

ALRIGHT, YOU DON'T HAVEYOUR PSYCHOLOGY DEGREE YET,

SO, FOR NOW,STICK TO SHOES.

AND SPEAKING OF SHOES...

[BACKGROUND CHATTER]

HE WOULD NEVER GOFOR SOMEONE LIKE ME.

-WHY?-FIRST OF ALL--

WHICH MEANSTHAT HE IS ALL LEFT-BRAIN--

ANALYTICAL, LOGICAL...

WHILE I, ON THE OTHER HAND,AM ALL RIGHT-BRAIN.

OH! THAT'S WHY YOU WEAROPEN-TOED SANDALS IN THE RAIN,

BECAUSE YOU'RE ILLOGICAL!

NO.

BECAUSE SOMETIMESIT'S THE ONLY SHOE

THAT WORKS FOR THE OUTFIT.

AND SECOND OF ALL,I'M NOT HIS TYPE.

HOW DO YOU KNOW?

I-I DON'T KNOW,I CAN JUST TELL.

HE PROBABLY DATES WOMENWHO ARE THOROUGHBREDS,

[BOTH LAUGHING]

CAN I ASK YOUA QUESTION?

UM, WHAT'S THE DEAL WITHTHE COMMITMENT STUFF?

WHO SAID ANYTHINGABOUT COMMITMENT?

EVERY TIME I BRING IT UP,

YOU ALWAYS ANSWER MY QUESTIONWITH A QUESTION.

WHY WOULD YOU...SAY THAT?

OKAY, SCRATCH THAT.

I MEAN, I DON'T--I DON'T GET IT.

WE PRETTY MUCH SPENDALL OUR FREE TIME TOGETHER.

YOU KNOW,AND WHEN WE'RE NOT,

WE'RE ON THE PHONEOR TEXTING.

AND, YOU KNOW, YOU EVEN ACCEPTEDMY ISCRABBLE REQUEST.

I KNOW, AND I'M VERY PARTICULARABOUT WHO I PLAY WITH.

YEAH! THAT'S WHATI'M SAYING.

SO WHY DO YOU GETA LITTLE FREAKED OUT

WHEN I SAY THE WORD"DATE" OR, UH...

[WHISPERS]:..."GIRLFRIEND"?

I JUST DON'T LIKE LABELS.

OKAY, FINE.

AFTER MY MOM DIED

AND MY DAD FINALLYSTARTED DATING AGAIN,

HE ALWAYS HAD A GIRLFRIEND,

OR A WIFE...

AND AFTER A WHILE,

THEY DIDN'T SEEM VERY SPECIAL.

YOU KNOW, SUSAN BECAME ROBERTA,WHO BECAME...

ANGIE, WHO BECAME COLLEEN.

IT'S JUST I'M AFRAIDIF WE PUT A LABEL ON IT,

IT'S THE BEGINNING OF THE END.

I GET IT.

YOU KNOW, THERE MAY BEANOTHER WAY LOOK AT THAT.

HOW?

AS THE BEGINNINGOF THE BEGINNING.

I GUESS.

[DOORBELL CHIMES]

I CAN'T BELIEVETHE MAYOR'S DAUGHTER

IS GOING TO BE WEARINGONE OF YOUR DRESSES.

WELL, OF COURSE SHE IS.

WHO ELSE WOULD SHE GO TO?

THE FAMILY'S ALWAYS BEEN KNOWNFOR THEIR IMPECCABLE TASTE.

SORRY WE'RE LATE.

TRAFFIC WAS DREADFUL.

IT WAS. DREADFUL.

OH, LOOK. IT'S A... PARTY.

OH, CLAIRE...

OHH! I LOVE IT!

GREAT!

BUT I DO KNOW THAT THERE ISAND A BEAUTIFUL ZEN MONASTERY,

ABOUT AN HOUR AWAY FROM HERE.

MY FIANCE AND I MET

IN A BUDDHISTMEDITATION CLASS.

I KNOW.I READ IT ONLINE.

AND I WAS THINKING

YOU COULD KEEP WITH--

UH, THE JAPANESE THEME GOINGFOOD-WISE,

WITH SOMETHING LIKESASHIMI WITH BURDOCK ROOT--

-AND CREME FRAICHE APPETIZERS.-YEAH!

JAPANESE? [CHUCKLES]

FOR THE FIRST FAMILYOF OUR TOWN.

DOWNTON ABBEY.

OH! I LOVE THAT SHOW.

CAN'T YOU JUST IMAGINEONE OF THE CHARACTERS

WEARING SOMETHING LIKE THIS?

OH, DEFINITELY!

NOW, I'M NOTA WEDDING PLANNER EITHER,

BUT WHEN I IMAGINE YOUIN THIS DRESS,

I SEE YOU COMING DOWNA GRAND STAIRCASE,

CARRYINGAN ENGLISH ROSE BOUQUET.

SOUNDS PERFECT!

I MEAN, THEME WEDDINGSARE FINE FOR SOME PEOPLE,

BUT FOR YOU--

YOUR FAMILY IS SO RESPECTED--

WHAT BETTER WAY TO BE OF SERVICETHAN BY KEEPING WITH TRADITION?

IF BY "TRADITION,"

YOU MEAN WEARING A DRESS THAT'SLIKE EVERYTHING ELSE OUT THERE.

ACTUALLY, BY "TRADITION,"

I MEAN SOMETHINGTHAT'S BEEN HELD IN HIGH-ESTEEM

OVER THE YEARS

AND BECOME AN INSTITUTION.

WELL, FOR ME,

THE INSTITUTIONOF MORPHING YOURSELF

TO LOOK LIKE AN ADIN A BRIDAL MAGAZINE

RATHER THAN BEING AUTHENTIC

SEEMS IN NEEDOF SOME RECONSIDERATION.

I CAN JUST IMAGINEWHAT YOUR WEDDING WILL BE.

ACTUALLY, SHE DOES HAVEA GREAT NEW BOYFRIEND, SO...

WELL, I'M SURE HE'S CHARMING.

HE IS.

YES... WELL.

I JUST REMEMBEREDWE HAVE ANOTHER APPOINTMENT.

THANK YOU, LADIES, BOTH OF YOU,FOR DROPPING BY.

WE'LL BE IN TOUCH.

[♪]

I GUESS WE DON'TNEED TO SCHEDULE

THAT COFFEE DATEAFTER ALL.

I THINKYOU'RE RIGHT.

I'M SO SORRY TO HEARABOUT THE DIVORCE.

OH, LET ME GUESS.YOU RAN INTO BEVERLY?

WHO ELSE?

WELL, YOU LOOKBEAUTIFUL, AS ALWAYS.

YOU'RE SO SWEETTO SAY THAT.

BUT I MUST ADMIT,

WITH THIS NEW COMPETITORTHAT'S OPENED UP,

I'M A LITTLE TIRED,

BECAUSE I'VE BEEN FORCEDTO BROADEN MY HORIZONS

WITH ALL THESE SILLYSOCIAL NETWORK THINGS,

LIKE TWEETER.

[LAUGHS] IT'S "TWITTER."

YES. THAT.

ANYWAY, OTHER THAN THAT,EVERYTHING IS WONDERFUL.

OH, SAM IS GONNA BE THRILLEDTO HEAR YOU'RE BACK.

ACTUALLY,I ALREADY RAN INTO HIM.

-AND HE WAS WITH---YOU DID?

I WONDER WHYHE DIDN'T SAY ANYTHING.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING TONIGHT?

UH, COMING UP WITH AN EXCUSE

AS TO WHY I CAN'T PLAY BRIDGEWITH MY MOTHER.

THE PARKERS ARE HAVINGTHEIR ANNIVERSARY PARTY

AT MATTEO'S.

WHY NOT DROP BY?

-OH---OH, IT'D BE A GREAT CHANCE--

...FOR YOU TO GETBACK IN TOUCH

WITH EVERYBODY IN TOWN.

I DON'T KNOW--

YOU REMEMBERWHERE IT IS, RIGHT?

ON MAIN STREET.

SO I'LL SEE YOU THERE,AROUND 7:30.

CIAO-CIAO!

KNOCK-KNOCK!

I THOUGHT THE "KNOCK-KNOCK"

IS SUPPOSED TO COMEBEFORE YOU OPEN THE DOOR.

OH, YOU KNOW HOWI HATE TO WASTE TIME, DARLING.

WHAT ARE YOU DOINGTHIS EVENING?

-WELL, I---GREAT!

BECAUSE THE PARKERS ARE HAVINGTHEIR ANNIVERSARY PARTY

AT MATTEO'S, AND I'D LOVEFOR YOU TO BE MY DATE.

ACTUALLY, I--

[DOOR SHUTS]

WHAT JUST HAPPENED?

THIS IS LIKE THE FIRSTNIGHT IN FOREVER

THAT YOU HAVEN'TSPENT WITH SAM.

WHAT'S HE DOINGTONIGHT?

I'M NOT SURE.

WHAT HE DOESIS HIS BUSINESS

AND WHAT I DOIS MINE.

IS THAT...

[♪]

MR. AND MRS. PARKER!

THEY'RE FOR YOU.HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!

YOU'RE A LUCKY MAN.

[BACKGROUND CHATTER]

SAM...

DARLING.

LOOK WHO I FOUND.

SURPRISE!

HI, HILLARY.

MOTHER, I'M SURE YOU HAD NO IDEATHAT SHE WAS GONNA BE HERE.

WELL, WE MIGHT HAVERUN INTO EACH OTHER TODAY.

MOTHER, UH,MAY I HAVE A WORD?

EXCUSE US, HILLARY.

[INDISTINCT EXCHANGE]

IT IS SAM.

OKAY, MOTHER, LISTEN.

I KNOW YOU'VE ALWAYSLIKED HILLARY.

I DO.

BUT THE THING IS,

I HAVE MET SOMEONE.

[QUIET WHISPERING]

I KNOW--I CAN HEAR HIM.

WELL, SWEETHEART,SWHY HAVEN'T YOU TOLD ME BEFORE?

WHO IS SHE?

WHEN DO I GET TO MEET HER?

WELL, ACTUALLY, UM--

-SHH-SHH-SHH---...YOU ALREADY KNOW HER.

[MAYA AND ANNABELLE WHISPERING]

[LAUGHING]:THERE SHE IS!

[DEFLATING SIGH]

[♪]

THANK YOU SO MUCH.IT'S PERFECT.

IT LOOKS BEAUTIFUL ON YOU.

NOW REMEMBER--

AS MUCH TIME AND ATTENTIONYOU GIVE TO THE WEDDING,

GIVE 10 TIMES THATTO THE MARRIAGE.

[PHONE RINGS]

YOU KNOW WHAT THIS IS,DON'T YOU?

IT'S HIM WASTINGA BUNCH OF MONEY

ON STUFFHE KNOWS I WON'T EAT?

MM, ACTUALLY,YOU WILL EAT IT.

BUT NO, THIS IS YOULETTING YOUR FEAR

GET IN THE WAYOF YOUR HAPPINESS.

YOU ARE WRONG.

IT IS ME NOT WANTING TO STARTA RELATIONSHIP BASED ON LIES.

HE DIDN'T LIE TO YOU.

HE JUST HADN'T TOLD YOU YETWHO HIS MOTHER IS.

WHICH, SEEINGWHO HIS MOTHER IS,

AND HOW SHE FEELS ABOUT ME,

DEFINITELY FALLSINTO THE CATEGORY OF LYING.

[SIGHS] MAYA!

I REALLY LIKED HIM.

I MEAN, MORE THAN I'VE LIKEDA GUY IN A REALLY LONG TIME.

I JUST FELTI COULD BE MYSELF WITH HIM.

BUT OBVIOUSLY, HE DIDN'TFEEL THE SAME WAY,

BECAUSE OTHERWISEHE WOULD'VE TOLD ME THE TRUTH.

PLUS, I TOTALLY TRASHEDHIS MOTHER TO HIM.

LIKE, A BUNCH OF TIMES.

YOU DIDN'T KNOWSHE WAS HIS MOTHER THEN.

WHY DON'T YOU GIVE HIMA CHANCE TO TELL YOU THE TRUTH?

APPARENTLY, IN THIS CASE,

MY SO-CALLED"FEAR OF COMMITMENT"

THAT YOU'RE ALWAYSACCUSING ME OF

IS ACTUALLYA GOOD THING.

SO, NOW, IF YOU'LL EXCUSE ME,

I'M GOING TO GO DOWNWARD-DOGTHE MEMORY OF HIM

RIGHT OUT OF MY SYSTEM.

[MEDITATIVE MUSIC PLAYS]

AS YOU BREATHE...

THINK OFSOMETHING TO LET GO OF.

ALREADY HAVE.

ALL 6-FEET-2 OF HIM.

LET'S BEGIN.

HI.

WHAT ARE YOUDOING HERE?

WE NEED TO TALK,ANNABELLE.

[INSTRUCTOR]: LET'S DOSOME "SUN SALUTATIONS."

YOU MIGHT AS WELL LEAVE,

BECAUSE I HAVENOTHING TO SAY TO YOU.

LOOK, I UNDERSTANDWHY YOU'RE UPSET.

EXCEPT FOR THIS.

HOW COULD YOU HAVELIED TO ME LIKE THAT?

-I---SHH-HH-HH!

I DIDN'T LIE.

I JUST HAD A DELAY

IN TELLING YOUWHO MY MOTHER WAS.

SPOKEN LIKE A TRUE LAWYER.

NOT THAT IT MATTERS.

BECAUSE EVEN IFYOUR MOTHER DIDN'T HATE ME,

THERE ARE A HUNDRED REASONSWHY THIS WON'T WORK.

WHAT? NAME FIVE.

OKAY.

YOUR MOTHER HATES ME.

SHE DOESN'T EVEN KNOW YOUWELL ENOUGH TO HATE YOU.

YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN.

I WENT GOLFINGBAREFOOT.

THAT WAS MY SUGGESTION,AND I'M WEARING KHAKIS TO YOGA.

YOU DON'T LIKE VINTAGE.

HOW CAN YOU SAY THAT?I OWN A VINTAGE CAR.

YOU CALLED IT "CLASSIC."

YEAH, IT'S JUST ANOTHER WORDFOR VINTAGE.

I DON'T KNOWWHICH IS THE SALAD FORK.

IT'S THE SMALL ONETO THE LEFT OF THE BIG ONE,

BUT THE ONLY REASONI KNOW THAT

IS BECAUSEI HAD INSOMNIA ONE NIGHT

AND I STAYED UPAND I WATCHEDTHE VIEW.

HILLARY.

[SIGHS]THAT'S IN THE PAST, ANNABELLE.

HOW MANY REASONS IS THAT?

ZERO. BECAUSE I HAVEN'THEARD A LEGITIMATE ONE YET.

DID I MENTIONTHAT YOUR MOTHER HATES ME?

[EXASPERATED SIGH]

IT WASN'T LIKEI WASN'T GOING TO TELL YOU.

I JUST WANTED TO...

MAKE SURE I FOUNDTHE BEST WAY TO DO IT,

BECAUSE I REALLYLIKE YOU, ANNABELLE.

YOU'RE DIFFERENT FROMOTHER WOMEN I'VE DATED.

YOU CHALLENGE ME.YOU HAVE OPINIONS.

YOU'RE 100% YOURSELF,

AND YOU INSPIRE METO DO THE SAME.

I DO?

YOU DO.

JUST GIVE MEANOTHER CHANCE.

I MEAN, I DON'TKNOW ABOUT YOU,

BUT I DON'T FEEL THIS WAYVERY OFTEN.

YEAH, WELL, NEITHER DO I.

GOOD!

NOW THAT WE'VE SORTED THAT OUT,

WHY DON'T THE TWO OF YOUGIVE EACH OTHER THAT CHANCE

SOMEWHERE ELSE?

[♪]

AND MAYBE YOU COULD GIVEMY MOTHER ANOTHER CHANCE, TOO,

BECAUSE, YOU KNOW,

I KNOW THAT SHE COMES OFFLIKE A HURRICANE,

BUT SHE'S MORE OFA TROPICAL STORM.

AND SHE'S INVITED USTO DINNER TOMORROW NIGHT.

I'M READY.

UH, WHO ARE YOU,

AND WHAT DID YOU DOWITH MY ANNABELLE?

I THOUGHTYOUR MOM WOULD LIKE THIS.

WELL, SHE WOULD.

BUT YOU'RE NOT HER.

WELL, I GOT THESEAT A THRIFT STORE--

[PEARLS CLATTERING]

OHH!

GOSH. WHAT AM I THINKING?

I CAN'T DO THIS.

WHAT ABOUT ALL THOSE HORRIBLETHINGS I SAID ABOUT HER?

THAT'SALL IN THE PAST.

YOU TWO GET TO HAVEA FRESH START NOW.

ANNABELLE, I NEED YOUTO STOP LOOKING FOR EXCUSES

FOR THIS TO NOT WORK.

I'M NOT.

YOU ARE.

BUT I'M NOT GOING TO LET YOU.

BUT SHE HATES ME.

NO, SHE DOESN'T HATE YOU.

SHE'S JUST THREATENEDBY YOUR STORE.

SHE'LL GET OVER IT.

NOW, CAN YOU GOGET CHANGED INTO SOMETHING

A LITTLE LESSBANK-TELLER-ISH?

I'M STARVING.

[SAM]:BON APPETIT.

[♪]

MM...

THIS VEGETABLE GAZPACHOIS DELICIOUS.

THANK YOU.

I THINK THE ANDOUILLE SAUSAGEGIVES IT A REAL KICK.

UH, MOM...

AS IT TURNS OUT, LIKE YOU,

ANNABELLE IS A REAL FANOF FOREIGN PLACES.

HOW WONDERFUL.

WHERE DO YOU LIKE TO GO?

WELL, I REALLY LOVE ASIA.

YOU KNOW, JAPAN,VIETNAM, INDIA...

MY, HOW ADVENTUROUS OF YOU.

WELL, I HAVEN'TACTUALLY BEEN

TO ANY OFTHOSE PLACES YET.

I SORT OF PUT TRAVELING ON HOLDBECAUSE I WAS WORKING SO MUCH,

BUT I'VE SEEN A LOT OFDOCUMENTARIES ABOUT THEM.

WELL, I SUPPOSE,FOR SOME PEOPLE...

EXPLORING A COUNTRYTHROUGH THE TELEVISION SCREEN

IS THE NEXT BEST THINGTO ACTUALLY BEING THERE.

HER HOUSE IS AMAZING.

IT'S LIKE A SETFROM A TRAVEL SHOW.

-WELL---HOW NICE.

I DO PICK UP SOME THINGSFROM THRIFT STORES.

NOW THAT THE SHOPIS IN THE BLACK,

I'M REALLY GOING TO MAKEAN EFFORT TO START TRAVELING.

WHERE DO YOULIKE TO TRAVEL TO?

I'M A REAL FRANCOPHILE.

MM!

I'VE SPENT A LOT OF TIMEIN PARIS.

PARIS IS AMAZING.

AH, WELL, THENYOU HAVE TRAVELED SOMEWHAT.

NO. I'VE JUST SEENA LOT OF FRENCH FILMS.

[PHONE CHIMES]

AHH. UH...

EXCUSE ME FOR JUST A SECOND.I'LL BE RIGHT BACK.

I PROMISE.

OH!

WHAT A BEAUTIFULPICTURE.

IS THAT YOU AND--

SAM'S FATHER.

SO HANDSOME.

THAT WAS JUST BEFOREHE WENT TO VIETNAM.

YOUR WEDDING DRESS IS...BEAUTIFUL.

THAT'S SWEET OF YOUTO SAY THAT.

LOOK AT IT.IT WAS SO SIMPLE.

EXACTLY. THAT'S WHATMAKES IT SO LOVELY.

WELL, WE HAD NO MONEY BACK THENFOR A REAL WEDDING.

WE WERE JUST YOUNGAND IN LOVE,

AND WANTED TO GET MARRIEDAS SOON AS POSSIBLE.

YOU KNOW, I THINK THAT'S WHYI GOT INTO THIS BUSINESS.

SO THAT I COULD GIVE WOMENWHAT I WASN'T ABLE TO HAVE.

THEY'RE LUCKY TO HAVE YOU.

[♪]

SO, THAT WASN'TSO BAD, WAS IT?

GUESS NOT.

EXCEPT FORWHEN I SPILLED RED WINE

ON HER WHITE SOFA.

[CHUCKLES]

I FORGOT HOWNERVE-WRACKING IT IS,

FALLING IN LOVE.

DID I JUST SAY "LOVE"?

YOU DID.

I THINKTHAT WORD CAME OUT

BECAUSE I WASTHINKING ABOUT

HOW MY DRESSIS CREAM-COLORED--

AND THAT MADE METHINK OF CREAMSICLES,

WHICH I HAPPEN TO LOVE.

MM. WELL,FOR WHAT IT'S WORTH,

I FEEL THE SAME WAY.

YOU LOVECREAMSICLES, TOO?

NO. THEY GIVE MESTOMACHACHES.

WHAT I MEANT WAS...

I LOVE YOU.

WHAT DO YOU THINK?

I... THINK

I KIND OF/SORT OFLOVE YOU BACK.

KIND OF/SORT OF?

OH, SCRATCH THAT.

I LOVE YOU, TOO.

GOOD. I'M GLADTHAT'S SETTLED.

[♪]

HEY. DAD!

I DIDN'T THINK YOU WERE

COMING BACK FROM FLORIDATILL NEXT WEEK.

WELL, A MAN CAN ONLY SITON THE BEACH FOR SO LONG.

HUH? [CHUCKLES]

"BECAUSE IT'S WEDNESDAY,

WHICH MEANS I LOVE YOUMORE THAN I DID ON TUESDAY."

SOUNDS SERIOUS.

LET'S GET SOME COFFEE.

DO YOU LOVE HIM?

YES.

GOOD!

TELL ME, ANY TALKABOUT THE FUTURE, OR...?

ISN'T THE WHOLEPOINT OF LIFE

TO STAY IN THE MOMENT?

LIKE YOU ALWAYS SAY,

"THERE'S NO TIMELIKE THE PRESENT."

[HE SIGHS]

YOU KNOW, IT'S FUNNY,

EVER SINCEYOU WERE A LITTLE GIRL,

YOU WERE ALWAYS--YOU'VE ALWAYS BEEN FEARLESS.

EVERY TIMEYOU WANTED A NEW CHALLENGE,

YOU'VE CHUCKED WHATEVERSECURITY YOU HAD

AND YOU WENT FOR IT.

AND THOSE RISKS HAVEALWAYS WORKED OUT FOR YOU.

BUT WHENIT COMES TO LOVE...

YOU'VE ALWAYS PLAYED IT SAFE.

THAT'S NOT TRUE.

I HAVEN'T PLAYED AT ALL.

BE FEARLESS IN ALLPARTS OF YOUR LIFE, ANNABELLE.

ESPECIALLY THE ONESTHAT INVOLVE YOUR HEART.

I PROMISE YOU,

PAYOFF'S A LOT BIGGERWHEN YOU DO.

KNOCK-KNOCK.

[SIGHING] HUH.

I GUESS MY HEARING'S GOING,BECAUSE I DIDN'T HEAR A KNOCK.

I KNOW YOU'VE BEENWORKING SO HARD,

NOT TO MENTION SPENDING ALL OFYOUR FREE TIME WITH ANNABELLE,

SO I THOUGHTI'D BRING YOU LUNCH.

THAT'S VERY SWEET OF YOU.

AND SO YOU DON'T GET LONELYEATING ALL BY YOURSELF,

I BROUGHT YOUA DINING COMPANION.

HEY, YOU.

HI, HILLARY.

SWEETHEART, AS SMITTENAS YOU MAY BE WITH ANNABELLE,

I DO THINK IT'S IMPORTANTTO REMEMBER YOUR OLD FRIENDS,

AND I'LL BETTHAT HILLARY WOULD APPRECIATE

A SECOND LEGAL OPINIONON HER DIVORCE AGREEMENT.

MOM, I'M SURE

HILLARY'S ATTORNEYIS COMPLETELY COMPETENT.

BUT DID HE GRADUATE AT THE TOPOF HIS CLASS LIKE YOU DID?

PROBABLY NOT.

SO, HAVE FUN!

[BOTH START LAUGHING]

OHH.

I RAN INTO HERAT THE HAIR SALON.

I TRIED MY BEST TO STOP HER,BUT--

AS WE KNOW,

THAT'S LIKE TRYINGTO STOP A FLOOD

WITH A PIECEOF CARDBOARD,

BUT AT LEASTWE'LL BE WELL-FED.

SO, SOUNDS LIKEYOU'RE ON YOUR WAY

TO GETTING SERIOUSWITH ANNABELLE?

WELL, I'D SAY I'VE ARRIVED...

[SHE GASPS]

IN MY CASE, THE KNOWINGSTOPPED AFTER FIVE YEARS,

BUT I'M LOOKING TO EXTEND THATTHE NEXT TIME AROUND.

NOW I JUST NEEDTO FIND A WAY TO PROPOSE

THAT'S, YOU KNOW, ROMANTIC,BUT NOT OVER-THE-TOP.

YOU KNOW,SOMETHING THAT'S IN LINE

WITH HER WHOLE APPROACHTO WEDDINGS.

WOULD YOU LIKE SOME HELP?

I AM SO GLAD YOU WERE UPFOR MEETING FOR COFFEE.

OH, PLEASE. HAVE SOME.I BROUGHT AN EXTRA FORK.

I WAS REALLY HOPING

YOU WOULDN'T THINKTHIS WAS WEIRD,

I MEAN, THAT WASFOREVER AGO.

IT'S NOT LIKE YOU GUYS

OF COURSE NOT.

HE'S AN AMAZING GUY, THOUGH.TOTAL MARRIAGE MATERIAL.

THIS MIGHT SOUND WEIRD,

BUT I'M ACTUALLY ONE OF THOSEWOMEN THAT FANTASIZES MORE

ABOUT THE PROPOSALTHAN THE ACTUAL WEDDING.

OH, YES!

I LOVE THE ENGAGEMENTSTORIES FROM MY CLIENTS.

SO WHEREWAS YOUR GUYS'S FIRST DATE?

AT A THRIFT STORE.

OH!

THAT IS SO ORIGINAL.

WELL, TECHNICALLY,IT WASN'T A DATE.

IT WAS AN OUTING.

-THERE'S A DIFFERENCE?-OH, YEAH.

WHERE WAS YOUR FIRST DATEWITH SAM?

A HOT-AIR-BALLOON RIDE.

OH? WOW!

THAT'S ROMANTIC.

I GOT TOTALLY FREAKED OUTBY THE WHOLE HEIGHTS THING.

IT WASN'T PRETTY.

-UH-HUH.-ANYHOW, MOVING ON.

WHAT'S A TYPICALSATURDAY NIGHT?

[CLAPS RING CASE SHUT]

OKAY, I'M GOING TO ASK YOUA QUESTION

AND I NEED YOUTO TELL ME THE TRUTH.

ARE YOU STILLINTERESTED IN HILLARY?

WHAT? WHY WOULD YOUEVEN THINK THAT?

OH, I DON'T KNOW...

MAYBE BECAUSE I JUST SPENTTHE LAST FEW MINUTES

LISTENING TO ALLTHE WONDERFULLY ROMANTIC

THINGS YOU GUYS USED TO DOWHEN YOU WERE TOGETHER.

-HEY, HOLD ON.-NOT THAT I BLAME YOU.

I REALLY, REALLY DON'T.

I MEAN, YOU GUYS ARE, LIKE,

THE J. CREW VERSIONOF THE PERFECT COUPLE.

WHAT ARE YOU TALKING A--

HOT-AIR BALLOONS, SAILING?AND WHAT DO I GET?

MOVIES ON CABLE AND PIZZA.

ANNABELLE...

FOR GOOD OR FOR BAD,

WHEN I AM WITH YOU,

I DON'T FEEL LIKEI HAVE TO IMPRESS YOU,

OR WIN YOU OVER.

BUT IF YOU WANNA GO ONA HOT-AIR-BALLOON RIDE,

LET'S GO UP IN ONE!

WHY WOULAND THAT SAILBOATWABELONGED TO MY OLD ROOMMATES,

SO IF YOU WANT TO GO SAILING,THEN I HAVE TO GO RENT ONE.

WE CAN GO RIGHT NOW.

I HAVE TO TAKE DRAMAMINE WHENI WATCH A MOVIE ABOUT SAILING.

FOR ME...

I COULDN'T THINK OFA MORE ROMANTIC EVENING,

SATURDAY NIGHT,

THAN EATING PIZZAAND WATCHING A MOVIE

WITH YOU.

ESPECIALLY WHEN I GET TOWIPE THE CHEESE OFF YOUR CHIN.

[BOTH CHUCKLING]

SO, IF YOU'RE UP FOR IT...

I THINK I'D LIKE TO SPENDEVERY SATURDAY NIGHT TOGETHER

FOR THE RESTOF OUR LIVES.

[GASPS]

IT'S ACTUALLYHER WEDDING DRESS.

I GOT IT ON ETSY.

IT'S FROM MOROCCO.

HOW INNOVATIVE.

DID YOU KNOW THAT,IN MOROCCO,

AFTER THE WEDDING,

HER MOTHER-IN-LAW IS THERE TOWELCOME HER WITH DATES AND MILK?

GUESS I SHOULD STOCK UP, THEN.

WELL, I'VE NEVER CARRIEDCAFTANS IN MY STORE MYSELF,

BUT I THINK SOMETHING LIKE THIS

WOULD GO WITH IT WELL,DON'T YOU THINK?

IT'S NOT TOO OVERPOWERINGFOR THE DRESS?

WELL, WE'VE DECIDEDON THIS ONE.

I PICKED IT UPIN LITTLE INDIA.

WITH A DRESS LIKE THIS,

IT'S "GO BIG OR GO HOME."

AND YOU DECIDEDTO GO BIG.

WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DOWITH YOUR HAIR, DEAR?

PROBABLY DEFINITELY UP?

WAVES CASCADING DOWN HER BACK.

I THINKI'LL JUST LEAVE YOU TO IT.

WE'RE ALL DONE.

I'M SORRY,I KNOW THAT YOU'RE BUSY, SO...

AND I'VE ALWAYS ENVIED BRIDESWHO COME IN WITH THEIR MOTHERS.

SO I-- I WOULD...I WOULD REALLY LIKE THAT.

AND I'D BE HONORED.

AS A MATTER OF FACT,I DO HAVE A FEW IDEAS.

[♪]

[CLAIRE]:THISIS THE SEATING CHART.

NOW, I WAS THINKINGABOUT 200.

200 PEOPLEAT THE WEDDING?

WELL, THEM,AND HOWEVER MANY OTHERS

YOU WERETHINKING OF INVITING.

MOM...

WE REALLY APPRECIATEWHAT YOU HAVE DONE.

OH, HONEY,THIS IS JUST THE BEGINNING!

BUT WE CAN'T EXPECTSOMEONE AS BUSY AS YOU

TO DEVOTE SO MUCHTIME AND EFFORT

TO OUR WEDDING.

WELL, OF COURSE YOU CAN,SWEETHEART!

IT'S TRULY MY PLEASURE.

TECHNICALLY,I'M BOOKED

FOR THE NEXTYEAR AND A HALF,

BUT BECAUSEIT'S YOU, CLAIRE,

I'LL MAKE AN EXCEPTION.

AND I'M SOGRATEFUL TO YOU

FOR DOINGTHIS FAVOR FOR ME.

WHAT IS ALL THIS STUFF?

WELL, THIS "STUFF" HERE

IS SHRIMP-AND-LEMON SKEWERSWITH A FETA-DILL SAUCE.

THAT SOUNDS WONDERFUL.

IT IS. SO I'LL ADD ITTO THE APPETIZER MENU.

-AH! YES.-BUT I'M ALLERGIC TO SHELLFISH.

DON'T WORRYABOUT THAT, DEAR.

AND WHAT'S THIS?

FILET MIGNON INA BALSAMIC REDUCTION.

THAT'S A MUST-HAVE.

THAT ISJUST FANTASTIC.

I'M A VEGETARIAN.

AND RIGHT OVER HEREIS MY SPECIALTY--

FOIE GRAS WITH ARUGULAAND CHANTERELLE MUSHROOMS.

I DON'T THINK THAT'SA GOOD IDEA. I KNOW--

AND ALSO--

IT JUST ALL LOOKSSO ELEGANT.

[OVERLAPPING CONVERSATION]

WHENEVER I'VE BEEN TO AN EVENTTHAT YOU'VE CATERED,

PEOPLE JUST TALK ABOUT ITFOR DAYS AFTERWARDS.

I CAN'T SAY ENOUGHGOOD THINGS ABOUT THIS.

SHE'S GOT ME EATING SWEETS.

WHAT?

NOTHING.

I MEAN, THIS MORNING,

SHE TOLD MESHE WAS TRYING TO TRACK DOWN

A DOZEN WHITE DOVESTO RELEASE WHEN WE KISS.

WHAT DIDYOU TELL HER?

THAT I'M A BIG FAN OF BIRDS.

OH!

I'M NOT A WIMP, I SWEAR,

I JUST DON'T WANT TODISAPPOINT HER.

WELL, IF IT MAKES YOUFEEL ANY BETTER,

SHE HAS ALWAYS BEEN LIKE THIS.

IT DOESN'T.

OKAY, WELL, AT ANY RATE,

THIS YOUR DAY,NOT HERS.

YOU'RE RIGHT.

I JUST NEED TO SETSOME BOUNDARIES.

-MM-HMM.-I CAN HANDLE HER.

-YOU'LL SEE.-MM-KAY.

FOR FORTIFICATION.

THEY'RE BOTH ABSOLUTELY LOVELYON YOU.

YOU CAN'T GO WRONGWITH EITHER DECISION.

OKAY, WELL...

THEN LET'S GO WITH THIS ONE.

OKAY.

WAIT. NO. NO!

NO. THIS ONE.

THIS ONE, I THINK.

IT'S MY MOTHER.SHOULD I GET THIS?

OR I COULD-- I COULDCALL HER BACK WHEN I GET HOME?

I'M STRESS-EATING.

DO YOU WANT TOTALK ABOUT IT?

-NO.-OKAY.

DO WE KNOW WHAT STOCKSWE'RE GOING TO INVEST IN

WITH OUR RETIREMENT FUNDS?

I CAN'T EVENBALANCE MY CHECKBOOK.

I THINK HE WAS JUSTMAKING CONVERSATION.

AND WHAT ABOUTTHAT COUPLES THERAPIST

WHO HANDED ME HER CARDAND SAID "JUST IN CASE"?

THAT'S WHAT YOU WANT TO HEARAT YOUR ENGAGEMENT PARTY.

THAT'S FREYDA.

YEAH, SHE'S ALWAYSBEEN A LITTLE NUTS.

AND THE KICKER IS,YOUR MOTHER,

INSTEAD OFCHANGING THE SUBJECT,

SHE ANSWEREDTHE QUESTIONS FOR ME.

OKAY.

IT'S TIME TO DOSOMETHING ABOUT THIS.

[♪]

ANNABELLE,LET'S START WITH YOU.

I'D LIKE YOU TO TELL MY MOTHERHOW YOU'VE BEEN FEELING

IN REGARDSTO THE WEDDING PLANNING.

THE THINGOF IT IS--

NOT ME. HER.

I REALLY DO APPRECIATEYOUR HELP WITH THE WEDDING...

BUT I FEEL THAT THERE HAVE BEENA FEW OCCASIONS

WHERE YOU'VE JUSTDISMISSED MY IDEAS

WITHOUT EVEN PRETENDINGTO CONSIDER THEM.

I'M SORRYYOU FEEL THAT WAY.

THAT CERTAINLYWASN'T MY INTENTION.

ANNABELLE, WOULD YOU LIKETO SHARE SOME EXAMPLES WITH US?

OH. YEAH.

THREE PAGES?

THERE USED TO BE FOUR.I HAD HER EDIT IT DOWN, MOM.

NUMBER ONE.

[CHUCKLES]

WHEN WE WENTTO GO TASTE THE CAKES,

I BROUGHT UPTHE IDEA OF TIRAMISU

AND YOU MADE A FISH FACE.

WHAT'S A FISH FACE?

YOU'RE MAKING IT RIGHT NOW.

I HAPPENTO LOVE TIRAMISU.

JUST NOT FOR WEDDINGS.

IT'S THE FIRSTDESSERT

SAM AND I SHARED TOGETHER.

[SAM]: IT WAS.

BECAUSE SHE DOESN'TREALLY EAT SWEETS.

I LOVE YOU.

I LOVE YOU, TOO.

I THINK IT'S WONDERFULYOU'RE SO CREATIVE.

OH! THANK YOU.

THAT'S THE ONLY NICE THINGYOU'VE EVER SAID TO ME.

AND IF YOU CANFIND CLIENTS

WHO DON'T HAVE AN ISSUEWITH THE FACT THAT,

YEARS FROM NOW,

THEY MIGHT END UP REGRETTING

THE IMPULSIVE DECISIONSTHEY MADE

WITH REGARDS TO THE MOSTIMPORTANT DAY OF THEIR LIVES--

"IMPULSIVE"?

BUT SEEING ASTHIS ISN'T JUST YOUR WEDDING,

BUT ALSO MY SON'S--

THAT'S RIGHT.

YOUR SON'S. NOT YOURS.

WELL, THEN MAYBEYOU OUGHT TO CONSIDER THE FACT

THAT-- HAH!-- YOUR FLAGRANTDISMISSAL OF TRADITION,

IT ISN'T EXACTLY A ROUSING SIGN

OF SOMEBODY WHO'S COMFORTABLEWITH COMMITMENT.

NOT THAT ANYONECOULD BLAME YOU.

I MEAN, I'M NOT A THERAPIST,OBVIOUSLY...

BUT A FATHERWHO'S BEEN MARRIED FOUR TIMES--

THREE.

...MIGHT HAVE SOMETHINGTO DO WITH THAT.

OKAY.

I HAVE TRIEDTO GET ALONG WITH YOU.

I HAVE HELD MY TONGUE,I HAVE BITTEN IT,

I HAVE SMILED,I HAVE CAVED,

I HAVE DONE ALL OF THISBECAUSE I LOVE YOUR SON.

BUT IT IS OBVIOUS TO METHAT, NO MATTER WHAT,

I WILL NEVER, EVERBE GOOD ENOUGH FOR HIM.

[BLURTS OUT CRYING]:SO, I'M SORRY. IT JUST--

I CAN'T DO THIS.

[♪]

ANNIE, I THINKIT'S REALLY IMPORTANT

THAT YOU TRYAND STAY POSITIVE.

OH, I AM POSITIVE.

POSITIVEMY RELATIONSHIP IS OVER.

ON SECOND THOUGHT,I THINK I'M GOOD.

HI!

WHICH ONE OF YOUIS ANNABELLE?

OH. YOU LOOK...

DIFFERENT THAN YOU DOON THE BLOGS.

YOU HAVE NO IDEAHOW EXCITED I AM

TO FINALLY GET TOCOME HERE AS A CUSTOMER.

YOUR WHOLE APPROACHTO WEDDINGS IS AMAZING.

YEAH, WELL,I HAVE A NEW APPROACH.

WHAT'S THAT?

DON'T DO IT.

WHAT SHE MEANS IS--

DON'T DO IT

UNTIL YOU'VE WEIGHEDALL YOUR OPTIONS,

OF WHICH WE HAVE MANYHERE AT "SO YOU SAID YES."

SO WHY DON'TWE GO LOOK AT SOME?

"I WILL LOVE YOUUNTIL THE END OF TIME."

THAT'S SO ROMANTIC!

IT IS, ISN'T IT?

THE THING IS,

PEOPLE HAVEDIFFERENT DEFINITIONS

OF WHEN TIME ENDS.

IS IT WHEN YOU DIE?

OR...

IS IT WHENYOUR MOTHER-IN-LAW-TO-BE

DECIDES YOU'RE NOTMARRIAGE MATERIAL

BECAUSE YOU DON'T LIKESTRING QUARTETS?

I-I THINKI'LL COME BACK LATER.

THAT WENT WELL,DON'T YOU THINK?

[♪]

[DOOR OPENS]

YOU DON'T HAPPEN

TO SELL DINNER DATESHERE, DO YOU?

HEY, DAD.

HEY...

YOU WASHED YOUR HAIRSINCE WE WERE FACETIMING.

[CHUCKLES WARMLY]

THAT'S A GOOD SIGN.

I'M ACTUALLY WEARING PANTSINSTEAD OF PAJAMA BOTTOMS, SO.

HAH.

I EVER TELL YOUTHE, UH, COUCH STORY?

NO.

IT'S ABOUTYOUR MOM AND ME.

SHE AND I GOT ENGAGED,

AND IT WAS TIMETO MOVE IN TOGETHER,

AND WE HAD THIS BLUE-AND-ORANGEPLAID ULTRASUEDE COUCH

IN OUR FRATERNITY HOUSE.

YEAH, THAT'S PRETTY MUCH

YOUR MOTHER'S REACTION TO ITAS WELL.

IN FACT,SHE HATED THE COUCH SO MUCH,

THAT WHEN SHE REALIZED

THAT I WAS PLANNINGON MOVING IT IN

TO THE NEW APARTMENT,

WELL, WE, UH,WE GOT INTO A BIG FIGHT.

YOU NEVER WEREMUCH OF A DECORATOR, DAD.

WELL, THATMAY BE TRUE,

BUT THIS COUCHWAS IMPORTANT TO ME.

HOWEVER, YOUR MOTHER COULDN'TGET PAST HOW UGLY IT WAS.

AT SOME POINT, THE FIGHTSTOPPED BEING ABOUT THE COUCH

AND BECAMEABOUT EVERYTHING ELSE.

LIKE, YOU KNOW,THE WAY SHE, UH...

SHE LEFT THE CAPOFF OF THE TOOTHPASTE,

OR I PUT THE DISHESIN THE DISHWASHER

WITHOUT RINSING THEM FIRST.

IT'S REALLY IMPORTANTTO RINSE THEM,

OTHERWISE THAT DRIED FOODNEVER COMES OFF.

YEAH, I KNOW,SHE SAID THAT.

SO BEFORE LONG...

WE DECIDED TO CALL THINGS OFF.

I CAN'T BELIEVEI'VE NEVER HEARD THIS STORY.

NO, IT'S NOT SOMETHING

YOU WANT TO SHAREAT AN ANNIVERSARY TOAST.

ANYWAY, I HEADEDFOR THE DOOR,

AND I TURNED TO HERAND I ASKED HER,

WHY THE COUCHWAS SO IMPORTANT TO ME?

IT WAS BECAUSE

THE VERY FIRST TIMEI LAID EYES ON HER,

AND KNEW I WAS LOOKING ATTHE WOMAN I WAS GOING TO MARRY,

SHE WAS SITTING ON IT.

OH, THAT'S SO ROMANTIC.

WELL, WE--WE GOT RE-ENGAGED,

SHE LET ME KEEP THE COUCH,

AND WE RECOVERED IT WITHA NICE NEUTRAL TAUPE SLIPCOVER.

[GASPS] OH!I REMEMBER THAT COUCH.

YEAH?WELL, YOU SHOULD.

I USED TO ROCK YOU TO SLEEPON IT WHEN YOU WERE A BABY.

LISTEN.

I KNOW I HAVEN'T BEENTHE BEST ROLE MODEL,

IN TERMS OFWHAT COMMITMENT LOOKS LIKE,

BUT AS A SALESMAN...

SWEETHEART, I KNOW PEOPLE.

AND SAM...

IS GOOD PEOPLE.

AND I'M WILLING TO BET

IF YOU GOT TOKNOW HIS MOM,

AWAY FROMALL THIS WEDDING STUFF,

YOU'D FIND THATSHE'S A GOOD EGG AS WELL.

DAD, YOU'RE TOO MUCH.

SWEETHEART,

THIS WHOLE TRUE-LOVE THINGDOESN'T COME ALONG OFTEN,

SO BEFORE YOU LET IT GO...

WHY NOT GIVE HIM-- AND HER--ANOTHER CHANCE?

IT'S NOT WHERETHE TWO OF YOU COME FROM

THAT MATTERS.

IT'S WHERE YOU'RE GOINGAS A COUPLE.

YEAH.

[♪]

CAN I TALK TO YOUFOR A SECOND?

YES, BUT IF IT'S TO TRYAND CONVINCE ME TO BLERGH--

"BLOG."

...THE ANSWER IS STILL NO.

OKAY.

THIS HAS NOTHING TO DOWITH BUSINESS,

SO I REALLYDON'T HAVE ANY RIGHT

GIVING YOU MY TWO CENTSABOUT SAM AND ANNABELLE,

BUT I'M GOING TO GO OUTON A LIMB HERE

AND SAY THAT, CLAIRE,YOU ARE WRONG.

DID I JUST SAY THAT OUT LOUD?

YOU DID.

OKAY. ANYWAY.

I'VE SEEN MANY WOMENWALK THROUGH THIS DOOR

AND NONE OF THEMHAVE THE CHARACTER, CHARM,

OR THE PERSONALITYTHAT ANNABELLE HAS.

AND EVEN IFSHE WASN'T SO FANTASTIC,

SHE STILL LOVES YOUR SON,

JUST LIKEYOU LOVED YOUR HUSBAND.

SO WHAT IF SHE WANTS TO WALKDOWN THE AISLE WITH WILDFLOWERS

INSTEAD OF ROSES.

IT'S STILL GONNA BE BEAUTIFUL.

IT'S JUST GONNA BE DIFFERENT.

[SIGHS QUIETLY]

[PHONE CHIMES]

[PUTS PHONE DOWN]

[KNOCKING]

COME IN.

[SIGHS]

YOU KNOCK NOW?

I DO.

[SHE SIGHS]

YOUR FATHERLOVED YOU SO MUCH.

HE LOVED BOTH OF US SO MUCH.

YES, HE DID.

YOU KNOW, WHEN HE DIED...

EVERYONE SAIDI'D MEET SOMEONE ELSE,

AND, SURE,I DATED, BUT...

I ALWAYS KNEW

THAT THERE WAS NOBODYWHO WAS GONNA REPLACE YOUR DAD.

BUT THAT WAS OKAY,

BECAUSE EVERY TIMEI LOOKED AT YOU,

I SAW HIS EYES AND HIS SMILE...

AND I KNEW THAT A PART OF HIMWAS STILL HERE.

YOU KNOW, I DON'T THINKI REALIZED IT UNTIL TODAY.

IT'S NOT THAT I WANTED YOUTO MARRY THE PERFECT GIRL.

IT'S THAT I WAS AFRAIDYOU WOULD AND...

THEN I'D LOSE YOU, TOO.

[SNIFFLES]

LOOK AT HER.

SHE'S WEARING A 1950s DRESSWITH A 1970s JACKET.

AND I DON'T KNOW WHATYOU'D CALL THAT HAIRDO.

WHAT IS IT?A KIND OF A BEDHEAD-BOB?

I'M SORRY, SAM.

YOU TWO ARE OBVIOUSLY PERFECTFOR EACH OTHER

AND YOU NEED TO GET MARRIEDAS SOON AS POSSIBLE.

YOU REALLY MEAN THAT?

I DO.

MOM...

YOU'RE NOT LOSING ME.

YOU'RE JUSTGAINING A DAUGHTER,

AND...

I THINKSHE COULD REALLY USE A MOM.

NOT TO MENTION

I'VE NEVER MET A WOMAN

WHO HAS YOUR LEVELOF SHOPPING STAMINA.

WELL, I LOOK FORWARDTO EXPERIENCING THAT.

HOPEFULLY AT THE MALL,

AND NOT IN ONE OFTHOSE VINTAGE STORES.

-[DOOR OPENS]-OH, I'M SORRY, WE'RE CLOSED--

OH.

I HAVE THIS ONE BRIDE,AND, UH...

SHE'S LOOKED ATEVERYTHING IN MY SHOP

AND CAN'T FINDANYTHING SHE LIKES.

I WAS THINKING

THAT THERE MIGHT BESOMETHING HERE THAT, UH...

I COULD FIND FOR HER.

DO YOU MIND IF I JUSTPOKE AROUND FOR A BIT?

SURE.

DID I EVER TELL YOU

ABOUT THE FIRST TIMETHAT I MET MY MOTHER-IN-LAW?

NO.

PROBABLY BECAUSEI SPENT THE LAST 30 YEARS

TRYING TO BLOCK IT OUT.

WELL, IT WAS THANKSGIVING,AND THERE WERE ABOUT 20 GUESTS,

AND FOR SOMEBODY LIKE ME,

WHO'D NEVER SEEN FINE CHINAOR TABLECLOTHS,

EXCEPT IN THE MOVIES,

I MIGHT AS WELLHAVE BEEN IN BUCKINGHAM PALACE.

SO WE'RE SITTINGAT THIS LONG TABLE,

HAVING THE FIRST

OF WHAT TURNED OUT TO BEABOUT EIGHT COURSES...

AND, UH...

ALL OF A SUDDEN,

I JUST BECAMECOMPLETELY OVERWHELMED.

SO WHAT DID YOU DO?

WELL, I HANDLED IT INTHE MOST GRACIOUS WAY POSSIBLE.

I EXCUSED MYSELF,WENT TO THE BATHROOM,

AND BURST INTO TEARS.

OBVIOUSLY,THE RELATIONSHIP WAS DOOMED.

THESE PEOPLE WEREWAY TOO SOPHISTICATED.

COMPLETE OPPOSITE

FROM THE APARTMENT IN QUEENSWHERE I GREW UP.

YOU GREW UP IN QUEENS?

OH, SURE.

YOU CAN TAKETHE GIRL OUTTA QUEENS,

BUT YOU CAN'T TAKE THE QUEENSOUTTA THE GIRL.

SO, I'M INTHE BATHROOM AND, UH...

FIXING MY MAKEUP,AND THIS KNOCK ON THE DOOR--

SAM'S FATHER.

HE ALWAYS HAD THIS SIXTH SENSEABOUT WHEN I WAS UPSET.

AND WHEN HE ASKED MEWHAT WAS WRONG,

I TOLD HIM THAT I THOUGHTIT WOULD BE BETTER

IF WE JUST CUT OUR LOSSES

AND WENTOUR SEPARATE WAYS.

WHAT DID HE SAY?

HE SAID,

"WELL, I HATETO TELL YOU THIS, CLAIRE,

BUT IF YOU EVER LEAVE ME,I'M GOING WITH YOU."

AND THEN HE SAID

THAT IT WAS JUST AS UNFAIR

FOR ME TO JUDGE THEM

BASED ON WHAT THEY LOOKED LIKEAND HOW THEY ACTED

AS IT WAS FOR ME TO THINKTHAT THEY WERE JUDGING ME.

YOUR HUSBAND SOUNDS LIKEHE WAS A VERY WISE MAN.

HE WAS.

AND THEN WE WENTBACK TO THE TABLE,

AND I DISCOVERED

THAT THEY WERE ACTUALLYLOVELY PEOPLE.

AND I WENT OUT THE NEXT DAYAND I GOT MYSELF

A COPY OFEMILY POST,

AND THAT WAS THAT.

[CHUCKLES QUIETLY]

ANNABELLE,I OWE YOU A HUGE APOLOGY.

I HAD NO RIGHT TO TAKE OVERYOUR WEDDING LIKE THAT.

SINCE HE MET YOU,SAM HAS NEVER BEEN HAPPIER.

THIS IS YOUR WEDDING,

AND THE ONLY THINGTHAT IS IMPORTANT TO ME

IS THAT I GET TO HAVETHE BEST SEAT IN THE HOUSE

WHEN YOUWALK DOWN THE AISLE.

YOU GOT IT.

GOOD.

UM...

IT'S NOT--IT'S NOT MUCH,

BUT...

YOU DID MENTIONTHAT YOU LIKED IT--

BUT THAT'SYOUR WEDDING DRESS.

[UNZIPPING]

I WAS HOPINGTHAT YOU MIGHT CONSIDER

USING THIS AS, UH...

YOUR "SOMETHING BORROWED."

REALLY?

WELL, OBVIOUSLY, YOU CANDO WHATEVER YOU NEED TO

TO MAKE IT YOUR OWN.

OH, NO. IT'S...

PERFECT,

JUST LIKE THIS.

[♪]

[KNOCKING]

OH, YEAH, OF COURSE!

OF COURSE,I CAN GET YOU A CAFTAN.

-HI.-SURE! NO PROBLEM.

YES, AND I WILL CALL YOU LATER.OKAY.

WHO'S THAT? MAYA?

NO. YOUR MOM.

MY MOTHER WANTS A CAFTAN?

YEAH. WHY?

THAT'S FUNNY.

I NEVER THOUGHT OF MY MOTHERAS A CAFTAN KINDA WOMAN.

WELL, THERE'S A LOT YOU DON'TKNOW ABOUT YOUR MOTHER.

APPARENTLY SO.SO HOW WAS YOUR DAY?

AMAZING.

WE HAD BREAKFASTAT CAFE DES ARTISTES.

OH, NICE. YOU AND MAYA?

DID I TELL YOUSHE'S TEACHING ME FRENCH?

I'M SO EXCITED.

TERRIFIC.

WELL. UH...AND HOW WAS YOUR AFTERNOON?

AMAZING.FACIAL AND A MASSAGE.

NICE. YOU AND HILLARY?

NO. ME AND YOUR MOM.

I'M SORRY.ENOUGH ABOUT ME.

HOW WAS YOUR DAY?

-[PHONE RINGS]-WELL, THIS MORNING WAS--

ACTUALLY,HOLD THAT THOUGHT.

YEAH, CLAIRE?

OOH, YOU'RE KIDDING?

THAT'S AWESOME!

THAT'S GREAT!OH, AMAZING.

HOW DID YOU DO THAT?YOU'RE ON FIRE!

[BOTH TALKING EXCITEDLY]

[♪]

[MUSIC OVER CONVERSATION]

[♪]

[LAUGHING]

[CLAIRE]: WHAT DID YOU SAYTHIS BREAD WAS CALLED?

[ANNABELLE]: "INJERA."

-OH! IT'S DELICIOUS.-IT'S ETHIOPIAN.

MM!

OKAY. SO...

RINGS?

UH, MAYA'S GOT THEM.

UH, FOOD?

ALL SET.

I'M STILL FULLFROM THE FINAL TASTING.

OH, BY THE WAY,

DID YOU GUYSHAPPEN TO TRY

THOSE FLORENTINE COOKIES?THEY WERE AMAZING!

NOT THAT I--

[SAM AND CLAIRE]:"...EAT SWEETS OR ANYTHING."

SO, I'VE TALKED TOTHE CHAIR RENTAL PLACE,

AND EVERYTHING WILLBE SET UP BY 3:00.

THE GUESTSARE SCHEDULED TO ARRIVE

BETWEEN 5:00 AND 5:30...

MM-HMM.

AND THE SUN ISGOING TO SET AT 6:23,

WHICH MEANS

THAT WHEN YOU TWOSAY "I DO,"

YOU'RE GOING TO LOOKLIKE A POSTCARD.

WHAT IF IT RAINS?

WE HAVE BEEN CHECKINGTHE WEATHER SITES

EVERY DAY FOR THE LAST WEEK,

AND THERE IS NOT A DROP OF RAININ THE FORECAST.

BUT IF IT DOES,WE'VE GOT A BACKUP.

THE HISTORICAL SOCIETYHAS BEEN GENEROUS ENOUGH

TO LET US USETHEIR BUILDING.

OH.

SEE, BETWEENTHE TWO OF US,

WE HAVE MANAGED TO PLANTHE PERFECT WEDDING.

[THUNDER CRASHING]

THEY SAIDIT WOULDN'T RAIN!

OHH! WATCHYOUR MASCARA.

THEY LIED.

NO, RAIN ONYOUR WEDDING DAY

IS GOOD LUCK.

-WHERE DID YOU HEAR THAT?-FROM YOU.

AT LEAST YOU HAVE

THE HISTORICAL SOCIETYFOR YOUR RECEPTION.

IT'S A REALLYBEAUTIFUL BUILDING.

YEAH, YOU'RE RIGHT.IT IS.

I MEAN,I WAS REALLY LOOKING FORWARD

SAYING MY VOWS

ON THE PUTTING GREENAT THE GOLF COURSE,

BECAUSE THAT'S WHEREWE HAD OUR FIRST KISS,

BUT, YOU KNOW,

IT DOESN'T MATTERWHERE THE CEREMONY IS--

I JUST WANT TO MARRY SAM.

AND CLAIRE THOUGHT AHEADAND INSISTED

THEY SET UP THE TABLESAND CHAIRS

AT THE HISTORICAL SOCIETY,IN CASE WE HAD AN EMERGENCY.

AND THEY DID...

BUT THERE'S A SLIGHT PROBLEM.

HOW SLIGHT?

ABOUT A FOOT'S WORTH OF WATER.

THERE WAS A FLOOD.

WITH ALL THIS RAIN,THE CEILING CAVED IN.

SO UNLESS WE WANT TO HAND OUTRUBBER RAIN BOOTS AT THE DOOR,

THAT ISN'T GOING TO WORK EITHER.

IT WAS ALLGOING SO WELL,

AND NOW EVERYTHING'SFALLING APART.

OH, NO, DARLING,IT ISN'T.

DON'T WORRY.

[THUNDER CRASHING]

WE'LL MOVE THE RECEPTIONTO MY HOUSE.

WHAT ABOUT THE CEREMONY?

I HAVE ANOTHER IDEAFOR THAT.
