[dishes clinking]

So, you gotta plan another
city park there?

Not today.

Writing a wedding toast.

I'd like to start by
congratulating Ted and Emma

on their fine taste
in speech givers, huh?

That's good.

[chuckles]

♪ You've got me singing,
Ohhhhh ♪

♪ Oh, you've got me screaming ♪

♪ Ohhhhh ♪

♪ Oh, you got me singing ♪

♪ Ohhhhh ♪

You look good holding that.

Oh, well maybe one of
these days it'll be mine.

Hey.

Just in time to carry
some boxes.

Oh, sorry, precious cargo.

But I am great at supervising.

Well played.

Thank you.

Athena, how's that
fruit coming?

Already worked my magic.

And prepare to be dazzled by
my secret recipe, frittatas.

You guys are the best.

Thank you so much for helping
me pull this off.

Oh, Brian does all the real
cooking in our relationship.

I merely assemble.

[laughs]

How'd the final tux fitting go?

Well, the plan is to pick them
up on Friday,

but here's the thing.

I really like scones,

so it's very possible

that I'm going to have
to go up a couple sizes.

Sorry.

Don't forget to book a haircut.

I'm going out Friday with Alex.

Prepare for the most handsome
groomsman ever.

Help me take all
this food outside?

Yeah.

Ok.

How much stuff does Ted have?

My husband-to-be owns
a vintage turntable

and a vinyl collection, which
means music for every moment,

but no more closet space.

Any thoughts on what's next
now that you left the bank?

Not yet.

Wedding planning's
been keeping me busy.

And happy.

I want a career that will let me
have a life like this.

No more boardrooms.

[sighs]

I'll figure out my big passion
project after the honeymoon.

Some fancy shoes for brunch.

I'm breaking in my bridal shoes.

All the advice books
say to do it.

You are the most together
and well-prepared bride

I've ever met in my entire life.

-Hi.
-Hi!

Hey.

More records?

I'm only halfway through jazz.

I'm kidding, it's just
my ski stuff.

Aw, Josie.
It's perfect.

Practice pays off.

She has been honing
her bouquet skills

long before you got engaged.

It's a Hughes family tradition.

Handmade bouquets
made with love.

I always imagined I'd make
my best friends' bouquets.

Red roses.

You remembered that Ted brought
me these on our first date.

I'm classy like that.

[laughs]

One rose for every month
you've been engaged,

intertwined with
your birth flowers.

And that ribbon
binding it together?

That is leftover silk
from your dress.

I wanted it to tell
your love story.

It does.

And whoever catches it
at your wedding

is the next to get married.

Sit, sit. Let's eat.

Thank you so much, guys.

This looks amazing.

It does.

-Coffee?
-Yes.

Here you go.

Thank you.

So, how did the Hughes family
get into the bouquet biz?

Less biz, more beloved hobby.

Still, the lore of the bouquet
runs deep in Josie's family.

Lore? Bouquets have lore?

Wait, you haven't heard
the story?

I've told it a million times.

Well, to be fair, I'm usually
busy cooking or eating,

and I wasn't boyfriended
into this group until what,

two years ago?

Mmmhmm.

Tell it again.

It always gives me goosebumps.

[laughs]

Aunt Susan, my dad's sister,
made her own wedding bouquet.

I even got to help.

I was eight years old,
and I was a flower girl.

Their other sister, my aunt Amy,
was the Maid of Honour.

Now I remember Aunt Amy
was sad that day.

Turns out, she had a
long-distance boyfriend

who she'd hoped would be her
date to the wedding.

But...

He disappeared.

Like what, he went missing
or something?

Later, at the reception, it was
time to catch the bouquet.

Now, one cousin
was already engaged

so everybody was laying odds
that she'd catch it.

But...

Aunt Amy caught it instead.

The one with the disappeared
date.

Thanks. Right.

Everyone was shocked,
no one more than Aunt Amy.

But Aunt Susan wasn't.

The bouquet knows where to go.

It finds who it's meant to find.

This next part's the best.

Okay, enough dramatic pausing.
What... what happened?

Turns out he hadn't disappeared.

He'd been in a serious
bike accident.

He was hospitalized.

Remember, this was
pre-texting era.

Okay.

So, Aunt Amy only found out
the day after the wedding.

She rushes to be by his side.

A few short weeks later
they were married,

and they recently celebrated
their 20th wedding anniversary.

[exhales]

See, legit goosebumps.

The bouquet knows.

So you really believe that
whoever catches the bouquet

is somehow, what, next
in line to be married?

No matter what?

It finds who it's meant to find.

We have seen it in action.

My old boss got married
after catching the bouquet

at a wedding she was dragged to
last year.

Could be a coincidence.

Or destiny.

This girl we know from college,
Nicole, recently got engaged.

I called her to
congratulate her.

Guess what she recently caught?

Okay, okay. I surrender.
I believe, I believe.

[laughing]

Just an FYI about
the seating chart.

Ooh, please say that Alex and I
are table buddies.

We were planning
on seating you apart.

What?

Okay, why are you punishing us?

No, no. It's not punishment.

It's an opportunity.

It might be nice for you two
to mingle.

Meet some singles.

Okay, when is the last time
either of you went on a date?

-Um...
-Um...

-Um... You... you know...
-February.

[nervously]
December. Decembruary.

-Decembruary.
-Decembruary.

Decembruary is not a month.

I've been slammed at work.

And I'm taking a break
from dating.

I keep getting my hopes up,
and then it doesn't work out.

It's disheartening.

It might be disheartening

because you overthink
everything.

Josie, you're always waiting
for some romantic sign

that you've finally found
Mr. Perfect.

I mean, you guys have
all found The One.

Your once-in-a-lifetime love.

I just want that same thing.

And still, Mr. Perfect.

That's a lot of pressure
for a guy.

And I know, because I am one.

[laughs]

I just want it to happen like
it does in the movies.

You know, this romantic moment
scripted by fate.

They bump into each other
and voila,

they just know they found
their person.

It might be a tall order.
I don't know.

Took me three and a half months

to convince Athena
to date me, right?

I think I'll know it
the moment it happens.

Anyone feel like helping
with the last load from my car?

Oh, you bet.

Brian will lift
and I'll supervise.

Oh wait. Where are my...

Sunglasses? Kitchen counter.

Probably, yes.
I will be back.

So, uh, Alex.

How long have you been in love
with Josie?

Am I that easy to read?

Only to me.

Why haven't you told her?

She's my best friend and my...

I don't think I should risk
ruining that.

And then there's Chicago
to consider.

Chicago, what's in Chicago?

Just between us, for now.

Parks and Rec, project engineer.

Great pay, tons of perks,
flex vacations,

and they came to me.

But I'd be an idiot
to pass this up.

An idiot who's in love and
not doing anything about it.

Yeah, but you heard Josie.

She wants to be
swept off her feet.

So make it happen.

Create that big romantic moment
that she's dreaming of.

I have been... composing
a letter.

[laughs excitedly]

Yeah, I know it's corny, like
something out of an old movie.

Which is why it's perfect.

What's perfect?

Oh, I grabbed some
leftover scones.

My best man speech, I hope.

We'll find out in a week.

[laughs]

[clears throat awkwardly]

-Bye.
-Thank you.

Yeah, bye.

[squeals]

We're a certified non-profit
offering free tutoring for teens

with an eye on higher edu...

I understand.

Only so much funding
could go around.

Thank you for your time.

Now you got calendar and
new student enrolment forms

for you to sign off on.

Ahh, come on.

We'll get 'em next time.

Good thing I hired you,
Taye.

You're even more unrealistically
optimistic than I am.

I'll take the praise.

Though I'd prefer a promotion.

What you deserve is a raise.

We need to double funding,
and fast.

Otherwise we're going to have
to start cutting tutoring hours.

Ah, you won't let that happen.

I have the utmost faith in you.

Thank you.

You deserve both a promotion
and a raise.

Oh, well. Thank you.

I'll remember that.

Josie: It's time.

Your first bridal look.

Okay, no... no crying missy.

Those lashes took ten minutes.

[sniffs]

[exhales]

And the finishing touch.

It's almost too beautiful
to throw.

Oh no, you're throwing
it straight to Athena here.

I want to finish grad school

before I even think
about a wedding.

Except...

Except what?

Okay, we were at Brian's house
and I was cold,

so I went to get a sweatshirt
out of his dresser.

And this sweatshirt
is special because...

Because there was a ring box
under it?

[gasps]

Okay, I wasn't snooping.
I was cold.

Did you at least open the box?

No, no. I... I want to be
surprised when it happens,

or if it happens.

Oh, it's happening.

You are catching my bouquet.

The bouquet knows who to find.

How romantic was that ceremony?

I got to admit, I got
a little misty.

A little misty?

You went through all
my emergency Kleenex.

I happily embrace my feelings.

That's why I love you.

Thank you for this.

My feet are on strike.

I told you to get a size up.

Lesson learned.

When I get married,
I'm wearing sneakers.

Well, that's a sight
I can't wait to see.

Who said you all are invited?

I might dramatically elope
like I'm in an old film noir.

[spoon tapping on glass]

That's my cue.

[hesitantly]
Speech?

That pocket.

You're a great writer,
I'm sure it's perfect.

You got this.

[quietly]
Thanks.

[microphone feedback]

I've been asked by the bride
and groom to say a few words.

Yeah, just a few,
because we're hungry.

[guests laughs]

As you know, Ted is my cousin.

And I introduced him to my good
friend, Emma, from college,

which is my roundabout way of
taking credit for this marriage.

[guests laughs]

Ted and Emma are
a perfect match.

They make each other smile.

And that's the thing about joy.

It's meant to be experienced
with that...

one person who brings that
special light into your life.

Congratulations Ted and Emma,

wishing you a wonderful
life of bliss.

Guests: Congratulations.

-Cheers.
-Cheers.

I am so sorry.

No, all good.

It's my fault. I wasn't watching

Will Forsythe.

Josie Hughes.

♪

I'd ask you to dance, but
I'm trying to impress you,

and my disco would definitely
not impress you.

Why don't we get
a drink instead?

Ah!

How do you know
the happy couple?

I was just about to ask
the same.

My dad does a lot of business
with Ted's dad.

We're one of those.

"I suppose we must invite
the Forsythes" invitations.

[laughs]

Nonsense.

I'm sure Ted and Emma
are thrilled you're here.

As for me, I met Emma
in college.

Oh, along with the Best Man.

Yeah, Alex.

And Athena, the other
bridesmaid?

The four of us lived on
the same dorm floor in college

and just clicked.

In fact, Athena and I
are still roommates.

Besides being an extremely
loyal friend,

what else do you do?

You're going to regret asking.

Work is my passion.

I've been accused once or twice

of being obsessed
with work myself.

Tell me about yours.

I'm the founder of a non-profit
called The Study Hall Club.

We provide college prep

for teens in underserved
communities.

Our mission is to give them
a hand up in life.

Wow, that's impressive.

Kids are what's impressive.

They're motivated and smart.

The mysterious stranger
I've just met

is both beautiful and noble.

Thanks.

Well, I hustle for funding
all day, so how fun.

Had I known stepping on feet
was a great way to meet someone,

I would've started long ago.

[clink]

Where's Josie?

She got another dance partner.

Go Josie.

Who's Mr. Smooth over here?

That's Will Forsythe
of "the Forsythes".

A big society family.
All lawyers.

Well, what do you know?

Maybe Josie just found her
Mr. Perfect after all.

Single ladies, single ladies.

It is time for the wedding
bouquet toss!

Come on down, come on down
to the dance floor.

Maid of Honour duties call.

It's time to catch the bouquet.

Good luck, you two.

There is no luck necessary.

The bouquet has a destiny
to fulfill.

It's true. I'm a believer,
you know.

Let's go.

You get it, honey.

[sighs]

Three, two, one!

[guests applaud]

Josie caught the bouquet.

She's the next to get married.

Bill.

Bill.

Bill.

Oh hey, 20 percent off that
froyo place that you love.

Oh, okay, well then
I'll keep it to myself.

Coupon, now.

It still doesn't make sense.

[sighs]
Oh no.

Not the flowers again.

That bouquet was meant
for Athena.

She's supposed to get
married next.

And who says
that won't happen?

The lore does.

I'm a big believer.

All right, well listen,
big believer.

Lots of people catch the bouquet
and nothing happens.

Also, aren't you single?

Thanks for pointing it out.

Yes.

But Aunt Amy was single.

Though there was a guy waiting
in the wings.

Maybe a guy is waiting
in the wings for you

and you just don't know it yet.

[doorbell chimes]

-Alex!
-Hey.

My man. You are just in time.

Time for what?

If I have to hear that
bouquet story again,

[whispers] I'm gonna need
to ask you for a job, please.

It just doesn't make sense.

[phone rings]

Study Hall Club.

I was in the neighbourhood
for work.

New green space
renovation project.

You got time for lunch?

Lunch, away from my desk?

Mm-hmm.

Yeah, just, um, just give me
a moment please.

That is Colossal Insurance.

From the CEO's office.
It's for you.

For me.

This is Josie Hughes.

Really?

Yes.

Yes.

I see.

Yes, yes. Friday is perfect.

I'll have my assistant
set everything up.

Thanks so much. Goodbye.

Somehow, Colossal Insurance
heard about us,

they're coming here for
a presentation Friday.

If they like what they hear,
they're going to sponsor us.

Seriously?

That's fantastic.

It's enough funding
for an entire year.

[claps]
Yes!

Uh, rain check on lunch.

I gotta get started on
this presentation ASAP.

No worries.

Bean Street Java, Sunday.
They're showing Casablanca.

It's a date.

See ya.

[phone dings]

It's Athena.

[gasps]

Engaged. Can you believe it?

Tell me everything,
spare no detail.

Okay, so Brian, in a very out
of character romantic move,

suggests we go for a walk
in the park by the duck pond.

Park, ducks, love it, go on.

Then he gets down on one knee
and pulls out the ring box.

Romantic. Tell me more.

Except he fumbled it,

and it flew into the duck
pond and sank.

A park ranger fished it out.

Finger, ring, done deal.

Whoo!

Even if it is slightly more
blindingly sparkly

than I'd usually wear to student
teach in a geology lab.

Well, if anyone can pull off
the diamond lab coat combo,

it's you.

His mom helped choose it.

I know diamonds are
a girl's best friend,

but I always pictured a
prasiolite or a labradorite.

Well, this is gorgeous.

Good thing you have a master's
thesis to focus on,

or you'd stare at it all day.

I'm excited to start planning.

And you already have an
experienced bouquet designer,

and Emma, queen of planning,

will be back from
her honeymoon soon.

I'm picturing fun,
casual backyard wedding.

Brian's mom Donna
has this huge yard.

You can get those barbecue guys.

Oh, great idea.

Or an ice cream truck.

Designer doughnuts.

Both.

And a karaoke machine.

My fiancé fancies himself
a rock star.

I'll toast to that.

[clink]

Confession?

I was worried that I derailed
your engagement.

But amazingly, this time
the bouquet had it wrong.

Confession, I'm relieved too.

Although you never know.

You never know what?

Your perfect guy could
suddenly swoop in.

All right, Michelangelo.

Relax. It's bagels,
not a work of art.

I fidget when I'm nervous.

Josie.

You and I both know
you're going to kill it today.

[doorbell rings]

They're here.

Hello, gentlemen,
nice to meet you.

Welcome to Study Ha-

Funny running into you here.

Why do I get the feeling
this isn't a coincidence?

I'm general counsel
for Colossal Insurance.

I was impressed by your passion
for your non-profit.

Preston Yates, our CEO.
Josie Hughes.

Will should be your PR guy.

We're excited to hear
this pitch.

...with a corporate sponsor
like Colossal Insurance,

we can continue to offer
this service locally,

with a vision of taking
it citywide.

Wonderful.

Thank you, Miss Hughes.
That was truly inspirational.

-Thank you.
-Thank you.

Flawless presentation.

Slam dunk.

I told you, you got this.

Let me talk to Preston, but
I'd say this is a done deal.

Really?

That's incredible.

I have to confess.

This was also an elaborate ploy
to see you again.

I lost track of you at the
wedding after the bouquet toss.

Oh, yeah. I got a
little distracted.

I was... going to ask
for your number,

but what if I asked
for a date instead?

Are you free Saturday?

Saturday as in tomorrow?

She's free.

Okay, thank you
social secretary.

Taye's right, I am free, yes.

Perfect.

Interesting aspect of my job
is risk management.

I do forecasts to minimize
negative financial risks.

And enough rambling about work.

No.

It's interesting, really.

Thank you for humouring me.

I want to know more about you.

Tell me something that's very...
Josie.

Well, I'm a sucker
for anything romantic.

Old black and white movies,
love songs,

kind of playful banter only
Hepburn and Tracy can pull off.

Corny and sentimental, I know.

Not at all. It's charming.

Let's make a wish.

You believe in all that?

Yeah.

Why not believe in the
possibilities in life?

You know it's funny.

I almost didn't go
to Ted's wedding.

Business trip.

I'm glad it got cancelled
last minute.

Me too.

♪

Still plenty of time
for Bogart and Bergman.

Did you get me a...

A hot apple cider? I did.

-Thank you.
-Of course.

Also popcorn.

What's a movie without popcorn?

Agreed.

How'd the pitch go?

Good.

No, great.

No, amazing.

That's quite the escalation.

We got the funding.

Congrats!

Did you solve the mystery
of how they found you?

Do remember the guy I was
talking to at the wedding,

Will Forsythe?

Of The Forsythes?

Turns out he's Colossal's
General Counsel.

He set the whole thing up.

I was so surprised,
especially because...

he asked me on a date.

And you said...

Yes.

We went on our first date
last night.

It was perfect.

He's so great.

He said he almost didn't come
to the wedding.

I think it's fate.

[sighs]

I haven't seen Casablanca
in years.

"Of all the gin joints in all
the towns in all the world,

"she walks into mine."

[laughs]

That's your Bogey voice?

Yeah.

[laughs]

"I think this is going to be
the beginning"

"of a beautiful friendship."

Mine was far superior.

If you say so.

Ladies first.

You should go on a date.

What?

With who, exactly?

We live in a city.

There are plenty of options.

I forgot how much fun it is.

Take the plunge.

Love the enthusiasm,
but I'm good.

Come on. Online dating?

It worked for Athena and Brian.

I want to see you happy.

This popcorn needs M&Ms.

Mm-hmm.

I'll be right back.

Okay.

Next profile question.

Three things about you.

How did you talk me
into this again?

My powers of persuasion.

I'm irresistible.

No stalling. Answer.

Fine, um... bashful,
sleepy, sneezy.

Okay, be serious, Dopey.

Fine.

I have it, then.

Kind, sentimental,
and hilarious.

I can't call myself "hilarious"
on my own profile.

You're the funniest person
I know.

Adventurous. Gives you an air
of... mystery.

[door opens]

Good news. We got it!

You got what?

-The ballroom at the...
-The...

Sorry, you go.

The ballroom at
the country club.

Oh.

Weddings are very
competitive there,

but I pulled a few strings

and got a spot for two months
from today.

Oh, Alex, Josie,
this is Brian's mom, Donna.

Nice to meet you.

Oh, Donna. Can you stay?
I can make tea.

We have an amazing Darjeeling.

-Oh yeah, I'm on it.
-Thank you.

That is very sweet, but
I have a hair appointment.

Listen, I am so touched
to be involved here.

As a mother of a son,

I never thought I'd get a chance
to plan a wedding.

And...

[clears throat]

I want to pay for everything.

The entire wedding?

Mom's insisting.

Hey, one good thing about being
an only child, right?

Yeah, wow. Thank you.
Thank you so much.

Yeah, of course.
It's uh, it's my pleasure.

Right. Got to drive Mom.

Sweetie, I'll call you later.
Bye, love you.

Love you too!

[door closes]

What a day. I am exhausted.

I need sweatpants, stat.

Does this mean no
backyard barbecue?

Donna really wants
the elegant club,

and when Brian saw the ballroom
he was 100 percent on board, so.

Well, look at the bright side.

A price tag of "paid for
by Donna" is nice.

I do have a mountain of student
loans looming on the horizon.

Right, uh, and you'd be making

your future mother-in-law
very happy.

Which is what I want.

I want the wedding process

to go as smoothly as possible,
you know?

Thank you.

What do we have here?

We are signing Alex up
for online dating.

Oh, I want in.

Um...

[clears throat]

Ah, ah, ah!

I'm outnumbered here, am I?

-Mm-hmm.
-Yes.

Stop making that face.

This is my smiling face.

You look like you're about
to sneeze.

[shutter snaps]

A dating profile picture
has to be perfect.

It has to be you.

You need to be spontaneous.

See, you look...
you look good here.

Okay, I'll just use that one.

I can't be in your
profile picture.

Then I'll crop you out.

That's even worse.

That just implies that you have
no problem cropping

one woman out of your photo
and photoshopping another woman

into your life.

Their generation never had
to find love on a phone.

It just sort of happened.

I bet you they even wrote
love letters.

Oh.

I'm a sucker for a handwritten
love letter.

But times are changing.

We have to keep up.

[shutter snaps]

Oh, I'm a genius.

I got it.

This is kind, sentimental,
adventurous.

It's you.

How'd you do that?

I know the real you.

Okay. Dating profile complete.
Let's find you a date.

No, nope, too into running.

I like running.

Extreme ultra marathons?

Too much running.

No.

Do I get a say in finding
future Mrs. Me?

Hmm.

Wait, what about her?

Says she's a nurse.
I like that.

Loyal, reliable, generous.

She sounds more like a shoppers'
reward program

than a girlfriend.

Here, give me that.

Don't you want to shop more?

Nope.

When you know,
you know, right?

Like you and Will
and the Forsythes.

Right, right, right.

Um, in fact, we actually have
a date tonight.

Where is...

It's almost 4:00.

Thanks for coming all
the way over here.

Quarterly financials have me
working late all week.

I like a little field trip.

I made reservations
for sushi,

but we just missed them.
My fault.

We can come up with plan B.

Actually, I already did.

I've never had an indoor
picnic before.

This is quite adventurous.

I spend most nights eating
delivery at my desk,

so sitting on the floor is
definitely an adventure.

[laughs]

I didn't know what you liked,
so I ordered, well, everything.

That's great, because
I like everything.

Especially... wait for it.

Oh, sesame noodles.

Are there any...

Any what?

Chopsticks.

I'm terrible with chopsticks.

So am I.

That's what makes them
so much fun.

from your honeymoon?

I wouldn't miss a girlfriends'

[laughs]

Let the girlfriends' day begin.

♪

I made a wedding dress graph,
with columns.

Look. Fit, style, comfort,
price, and availability.

That is next level organization,
Em.

Drum roll?

[drumming on knees]

[gasps]

Oh, cute.

I love the length.

Trumpets?

[imitating trumpets]

Oh, swoon.

Very old Hollywood.

Athena: I've run out of
instruments to suggest.

Let's just see it.

Oh, that is a classic.

Now, this...

is officially dreamy.

Oh, it's beautiful.

I don't know, I've never been
a fan of empire style though.

Oh, too bad.

I adore this dress.

[gasps dramatically]

And it has pockets.

[laughs]

Okay, it's not my dress,
but it might be yours, Jose.

Try it on.

Me?

No. You're the bride.

Honestly, I could use a break.

Try it.

Okay.

[giggles]

You look amazing in that.

I have to admit,
I do love it.

You might need it soon.

You did catch Emma's bouquet
after all.

Okay, it's only been two dates
with Will.

Will?

As in Forsythe?

Yep.

We met at your wedding.

Yeah, Will's a terrific guy.

Ted always says so.

But you two just met.

Okay, I know I might be rushing
into things a little,

but you yourself said I have
to get back in the game.

Maybe things haven't worked out
with other people

because they're supposed
to work out with Will.

There you girls are.

Oh, I'm sorry.

I thought Athena was trying
on dresses today.

Oh, no. I am.

I was just taking
a little breather.

Oh, phew. Then I'm not too late.

Brian spilled the beans that you
three had a dress appointment,

and I couldn't resist crashing
the party.

Oh, I should've invited you.

I just didn't want you to feel
obligated, and I...

No.

I'm going to go change...

And I will start looking for
dresses for my darling Athena.

[laughs]

Oh, you look so beautiful.

It's a dream.

It might be maybe a bit much.

No, no, nothing is too much.

You deserve your
princess moment.

Just let me, let me fix this
a little bit here.

How about I try something...

[fabric ripping]

[gasps]
Oh...

That did not just happen.

This is my fault.

I got carried away.

I will pay for the repairs.

No, it's my fault.

I should.

You are a graduate student
who teaches part time.

Please.

I insist.

Thank you.

I'm going to go change
before I ruin something else.

I'll go and talk
to the receptionist.

I'm sure it happens
all the time.

[laughs nervously]

On that note, I sense wedding
dress shopping

is over for today.

Yes.

[phone rings]

Jose, what's up?

I'm worried about something
that's probably not anything,

but maybe might be something,

and I need your wisdom
slash insight

to convince me it's nothing.

Sounds intriguing, but I'm just
working on a project.

Um okay, what about
Bean Street tonight?

They're showing Roman Holiday
at 8:00.

I wish I could, but can't.

Believe it or not,
I've got a date.

With Marissa!

[awkwardly]
Oh, that was quick.

Um, okay, yeah, never mind.
I'll figure it out.

Okay, have fun, bye.

Huh.

I...

I forgot how awkward
first dates can be.

Am I totally flailing?

[laughs]
No.

Is this been a while for you?

Yeah. My friend Josie wrote
my online profile,

sent me against my will.

My roommate wrote mine.

Like, I finally couldn't hear
"get back out there"

one more time,
so I just gave in.

Your online profile said
that you like live music,

and I read great reviews of this
Jazz trio playing here tonight.

Well, this is turning out
better than I'd hoped.

I feel the same way.

From the Will Forsythe.

Hmm.

Okay, I'm going to need a
translation for that "hmm."

No diss to our generous sponsor,
but dude is trying too hard.

What's wrong with flowers?

It just seems like he got
some intern

to pick the most expensive
arrangement on the website.

Isn't that how people
do flowers?

Not you.

To you, bouquets are
a story of love.

That's right, they are.

Where's my man Alex been lately?

He is busy online dating.

I always got a vibe
with you two.

Me and Alex?

Yeah.

Alex wouldn't buy some Tuesday
special from a flower shop.

He'd pick something
that was you.

Alex and I are just friends.

Emma: I picked up a few
bridal magazines.

A few?

Okay, fine. All of them.

But look.

Fall wedding trends,
dos and don'ts.

-First dance fails.
-Ooh.

Bridesmaids' views.

Black or red?

Decisions.

Emma?

Definitely the black.

[sighs]

I'm really nervous.

It's a fancy event
at the Lakeside Hotel.

Meeting Will's friends?

He said colleagues.

Colleagues are
like friends, right?

Like Taye and me?

I just want to make
a good impression.

Good call on the black, Emma.

That keen eye is why Emma's here
helping me pick invitations.

Donna sent over a...
load of samples.

Please, I'm excited to help.

You know, in all honesty,

I've been a little bit adrift
since the honeymoon ended.

Not because of Ted,
being married is a dream.

I just... I miss
all the planning.

It was fun and creative,
and I miss the spreadsheets,

the budgets.

I even miss writing
thank you notes.

Ugh, I wish I was like you.

I find it so overwhelming.

Like, Donna's ideas
for invitations

are really elaborate.

It looks like a romantic
storybook.

I always envisioned plantable
paper invitations.

Card stock with wildflower seeds
embedded in it.

Eco friendly.

Very Athena.

I have a contact at a specialty
stationery store.

Emma, I know what your
next career should be.

Wedding planner.

Wha?

Seriously. You're a natural.

Well thank you, ladies.

But I don't...

I don't even know how I would
begin to start a new career.

[doorbell rings]

Love you!

Maybe Josie finally has found
her Prince Charming.

Mm-hmm.

You're not Team Will?

I just... I just want
to see Josie

with someone who gets her
for her.

You heard Burnham, Leeds
and Dreyer is folding?

It's a shame.

Solid firm.

I'm going to go to the bar.

Do you want anything?

I'll join you in a minute.

So, how's everything
in your world these days?

I know they keep you busy.

Josie?

What a delight to see you.

Mr. Yates. Hello.

Preston, please.

You were a brave soul
to come to this.

My wife refuses.

She doesn't like parties?

Parties, sure.

Networking events, not so much.

This is a networking event.

Also...

Thank you.

Doubles as dinner.

I hear our sponsorship has
already been put to good use.

I can't thank you enough
for coming aboard with funding.

There are a lot of
worthy non-profits,

so the kids are really grateful
you chose them.

It's my pleasure.

The boss yakking your ear off?

More like the other way around.

Never.

Josie, always a pleasure.

-Enjoy your night.
-Thank you.

Look at you, working the room.

I don't know about that.

But I was happy to see Preston.

When you said you were
work obsessed,

I knew you were for me.

I didn't say obsessed,
I said passionate.

Although non-profits are 24/7,
so I guess it's the same thing.

It's Dan Greenberger.

Come on, I'll introduce you.

Hey, how was your date
with Will yesterday?

Um, it turned out to be
more of a networking event.

Hmm.

But it was great.

I ran into Mr. Yates.

And what about Will?

He was good.

We just didn't get to spend that
much time together, is all.

Oh, I have to go meet Alex
at the winery.

I should go get ready.

I don't think we've played
cornhole since college.

Yeah. Like good old times.

I thought it would be
a fun surprise.

Alright.

She's got a firm grip
on the beanbag.

She's winding up for the toss.

Mm-hmm.

All right, there's
the flick of the wrist,

she lets it go, and...

Ooh.

On the board!

Beat that.

Okay, throw it.

It's cornhole, not a major
life decision.

Greatness shouldn't be rushed.

Oh! When I said beat that,
I didn't mean literally.

Nice job.

Thank you.

Okay, so this winery makes
Athena's favourite Pinot Gris.

Thought I'd get Donna
some brochures.

Maybe if we have the engagement
party here,

it'll put Athena at ease.

She needs one thing to go
smoothly in this wedding.

Uh-oh.

Trouble in paradise?

Uh...

I mean, kinda.

From the moment Brian proposed,

there have been hiccups
with the engagement.

First he almost lost the ring
in a pond.

His mother is, well let's just
say overly enthusiastic.

And when I called you,

Athena had just accidentally
demolished a couture gown.

And you think this is because
you caught her bouquet.

I mean, yeah.

What if I'm ruining
their engagement?

Jose, someone else's wedding
isn't off

because they didn't catch it.

You're right.

Silly.

How was your date with Marissa?

I'm surprised it took you
this long to ask.

We completely hit it off

and I'm surprised I met someone
right out of the gate.

You guys going to go out again?

We already had our second date.

Second?

So soon?

Yeah.

Like, you and Will.

I figured why hold back, right?

That is still going strong,
right?

Yeah. Yeah.

Flowers, picnics, all the signs.

Crazily enough, I think I found
my ideal wedding dress.

Sounds like you're moving fast.

Yeah, well, like you just said,
there's no need to hold back.

I should bring Will here.

He'd love it.

Yeah. I should, I should do that
with Marissa.

[gasps]

I have a brilliant idea.

We should go on a double date.

The four of us.

Are you sure that's
so brilliant?

-Yeah.
-Sure.

Uh, sounds...
sounds like fun.

We can... do it.

I have a trip to Chicago
planned next week,

and we can do it the weekend
when I get back.

Great, great. It's on.

Can't wait.

-Hey.
-Hey.

Alex told me about the job
in Chicago.

Potential job in Chicago.

And you're the only two
who know.

Did you have an in-person
interview?

Yeah, and it went well.

If I get the offer,
they'll want a fast decision.

All right.

Well, I'm going to throw
this in the laundry.

I'll be right back.

Sounds good, man.

So, Josie tells me that she
and Will are going out to dinner

with you and Marissa.

Isn't someone supposed
to be writing a love letter

instead of going
on double dates?

And by someone, I mean you?

Josie's intent on making it
work with Will.

I can't bust that up.

So you're just
giving up instead?

I don't know.

Maybe Marissa and this job

are signs that I should
change up my life.

Stop pining over the girl
that I've loved since college.

Maybe it's not that Josie
and I have bad timing,

or we're never single
at the same time,

or whatever excuse I tell myself

for never telling her
how I feel.

Maybe it's not meant to be.

Okay.

So then tell her about Chicago.

If I tell Josie,
that makes it final.

Alex. You need to make up
your mind.

Tell Josie something
before it's too late.

♪

Thank you.

Good to see you again, Alex.

You too.
This is Marissa.

Hi, it's nice to meet you both.

When Alex told me we're going
to Chez Royal,

I couldn't believe it.

I mean, isn't it impossible
to get a reservation here?

Well, Will makes the impossible
possible.

The boeuf bourguignon
is excellent here.

As is the coq au vin.

So you speak French, Will?

I speak menu.

I dine here often.

Alex, how was Chicago?

Let's not talk work tonight.

What is it you do again, Alex?

Environmental development.

I revitalize urban green spaces.

So you design parks.

Uh...

No, it's so much more than that.

What Alex does is
really inspirational.

[laughs]

No wonder you guys are friends.
You're both do-gooders.

I suppose we are.

[laughs]

Well, I think the world
could always use more parks.

Agreed.

There's something romantic
about parks.

That's why I picked one
for our first date.

You know, I've never been
to Chicago.

I'd love to go sometime.

They have a great
live music scene.

Well, you already know
I love that.

Let me know next time you go.

I have Chicago connections.

I can get you theatre tickets,
top restaurant reservations.

You name it.

It's a constant balancing act
of debt, equity,

and internal finances,

but that's life at a
Fortune 500 company.

Which is why you work
such long hours.

I'm passionate about work,

but I don't want to miss out
on life.

Agreed.

Life is about all
the possibilities,

and should include
more cornhole.

So back in college, Josie and
I, along with Emma and Athena,

were part of this, like,
unofficial cornhole league.

We played every week
on the quad.

Where you toss those beanbags?

Yes.

And we gave each other these
ridiculous nicknames.

Like Alex was Alexcalibur.

[laughs]

Josie was Jo No Mercy.

[laughs]

I'm very serious about cornhole.
Oops.

[laughs]
Thank you.

No. You're my guests tonight.
I insist.

No, really.
It's my treat.

This restaurant's
quite expensive.

No, no I get it.
But I can handle it.

The universe has spoken.

Split the cheque.

[gasps]

Shooting star.

What did you wish for?

I can't tell you.

It won't come true.

Found them.

Did you make a wish?

Oh, the stars.
Sorry, I missed it.

What's with you and Josie?

What do you mean?
We're friends.

I ask because I was hoping
that this was going somewhere,

but I suspect your heart's
already taken.

Let's get you home.

Athena, what happened?

There was a fire
at the country club.

The ballroom is ruined.

It's going to take months
to rebuild.

And we have to postpone
the wedding.

[sighs]

Maybe not catching Emma's
bouquet really was a sign.

No, you are getting married.

Grand ballroom or not.

My story about the "bouquet
knows" is just that.

It's a story.

Josie, you believe that story.

You've convinced me
to believe it.

I also believe in birthday
candle wishes and lucky charms.

And part of me suspects unicorns
are real.

Part of being a hopeless
romantic

is being an unrealistic dreamer.

That's the part we love
the most about you.

Still, maybe the bouquet knows.

How are things with Will?

Will's a great guy.

Why am I sensing a "but?"

All my signs are there.
Romantic meet cute.

Grand sweeping gesture
to get my attention.

He's handsome and he's textbook
perfect guy.

But I guess I just wish
that he got me

the way that Alex gets me.

I mean, Alex has known
you forever.

That's to be expected.

Maybe part of the problem
is that we've been spending

all of our time in Will's world.

So I invited him to Bean Street
for movie night.

The Philadelphia Story.

Oof.

Cheating on Alex
with movie night.

I won't tell.

Alex is busy dating
a nice woman.

But you know what will
make everything better?

Ice cream.

[phone dings]

That's probably Will
checking in.

Sorry, almost done.

Work emails.

Black coffee for you.

-Latte for me.
-Thank you.

You don't like popcorn?

Trying to lay off carbs
this week.

My trainer's orders.

I can't believe you've never
seen The Philadelphia Story.

I don't, I don't go

Okay. Okay.

My latest project about
to open up to the public.

Oh, it's beautiful here.
You did a great job.

Yeah. It was a neglected
private park

that was acquired by the city.

The trees are great.

Look at that trellis.

Yeah, my boss wanted to tear
that trellis down

and put up something modern.

But I argued successfully
to keep and restore it.

It's the perfect setup
for a photo opportunity.

Dressed up, it could be used
as a wedding venue.

As in Athena and Brian's
new wedding venue?

Mm-hmm.

Look at you, you closet
romantic.

It's not much of a secret
that I'm a romantic.

It's one of your finer traits.

Oh. Give me a minute?

Yeah. No worries,
I'm going to explore.

Okay.

Alex Balfour.

Hey, Len Melcher here.

HR for Chicago Parks and Rec.

Congratulations, I just
emailed you a job offer.

Do I have a few days
to consider?

Sure, but we'll need a response
pretty quick.

Okay.

Josie.

I need to say something.

So do I.

I have imagined every scenario
in this space.

We can hang wedding flowers
and bunting there,

and the guest seating
can go here.

I love how even a small park is
full of possibilities for you.

Well, daydreaming
encourages greatness.

So you will stand here.

There.

You are Brian in this scenario.
So be Brian-like.

Okay, like...

Sure.

Yes.

Is this Brian enough for you?

Yeah, very impressive
Brian impression.

Great.

Okay.

The aisle is here.

And I am the bride, Athena.

Athena darling, you look
so radiant today.

Okay, focus. Don't ruin
Athena's big day.

Keep imagining.

And as she approaches Brian,
he takes her hand,

and he notices how
the autumn light

catches her hair, gleaming.

They stare deep into
each other's eyes,

and it's like the world
has stopped just for them.

They're surrounded by
their friends and family,

but they only see each other.

Josie...

Yes, so. It's perfect.

This space was just waiting
for you to transform it.

Good job.

So um, are you gonna
take Marissa

to Athena and Brian's
engagement party?

That's what I want
to talk to you about.

We broke it off.

Why?

I thought you really liked her.

She's awesome.

She's just not my awesome.

I couldn't picture a future with
her like I could picture a...

Do you want to get married?

One day.

Yeah. With the right person.

Me too.

Will wants to get married.

Will asked you to marry him?

Oh no, no.
He didn't propose.

It's still way too early
for that.

And if he asks,
you'll say yes?

I mean, Will checks
all the boxes.

I'd be crazy to say no.

I caught Emma's bouquet,
which I thought was a big fluke,

but then Will came
into the picture

and now everything's falling
into place.

Not only could Athena and
Brian get married here,

but I could be one
of the weddings too.

Let's go check out over there.

But I can't stay late.

I have a call later with China.

But it's Saturday.

No such thing in my world.

I know you don't know them well,

Oh, stay as long as you want.

I'll treat you to a car service.

I even have a picnic basket.

Sounds great, but on a deadline.

I inherited my workaholic DNA

He was actually on a business

Did you see him much growing up?

Not as much as I would've liked,
but all this hard work

like law school.

But don't you think parents
should be there for their kids?

Like going to recitals and
baseball games and all that?

Sounds amazing.

What's amazing about Chicago?

Brian: Alex, that's my bad.

I thought you'd already started
to tell people.

Tell people what?

Oh, Ted just told me now
at the buffet.

Told you what?

Alex, why don't you just say

what everybody already seems
to know?

I got offered a job in Chicago.
A really good job.

And I accepted.

You're moving.

To Chicago.

When?

Funny part about that story,
next week.

You're moving next week?

And you're just telling us

I didn't want to distract

Oh, I'd welcome the distraction,
but we're going to miss you.

Proud of you, man.

Prepare for house guests.

We've been spending all

and you haven't once mentioned
this job.

And now you're just
up and leaving me...

Us.

I mean us?

No, it's, it's not like that,
Jose.

I didn't tell you because
I've been on the fence about it.

I'm sorry that the news
came out so wrong.

I'm going to miss you guys.

Tons.

This is what I want.

It's time for me to move on,
and you have Will

who... makes you happy.

So you're an expert now
on what makes me happy?

Okay, um, well I wouldn't
want to stand

You'll have to excuse me,

Sure. I just need a minute.

Yeah. We get it.

Um, I think it's time

to mingle anyways.

[whispers]
Yeah.

Ted, why don't you go with them?
I'll catch up.

All right.

Did the merits of the Chicago
job finally win out?

Or is it Josie?

You know it's Josie.

I can't watch her fall
for someone else.

It is not too late to finish
that letter.

I should go.

I don't want to ruin everybody
else's day.

Alex, no. Stay.
You're fine.

I don't want to upset Josie
more than she already is.

Brian and Athena deserve
to have a drama-free party.

Wish them my love.

Thank you.

Ah, I got...

Josie, what's wrong?

Can we talk in private?

[whispers]
Uh, yeah.

[clears throat]

Someone made the
enormous mistake

of handing me a microphone,

so I suppose I should
start by saying

"ladies and gentlemen,
please gather around."

It's that time for me to share
the true account of how I...

Will, I thought fate
brought you to me.

I thought that my romantic
destiny was being foretold

by a wedding bouquet.

That the stars had aligned,

and I'd found my once
in a lifetime love

like my friends had
all found.

But it wasn't true.

Are you... breaking up with me?

Yes.

Because it's the right thing
to do.

I had this fantasy of this
perfect life between us.

But the fantasy wasn't reality,
and it's not fair to you.

You're a great guy.

You're just not my guy.

I'm bummed, but
not that surprised.

You've been a guardian angel
as far as funding

for Study Hall Club,

and I understand if Colossal
Insurance can no longer back us.

No.

Please.

We're proud to support you.

That has nothing to do
with you and me.

Study Hall Club does good work.

What made you change your mind
about us?

Was it the work thing?

The kids thing?

More like a message
from the universe thing.

As in I suspect I was living
the perfect life already,

but wasn't paying attention.

I was so focused on
the romantic ideal

that I overlooked all the real
world signs,

and now it's too late.

Now I know I've been known
to monopolize a conversation,

and a buffet table or two.

[crowd laughs]

So I would like to invite
my lovely bride to speak.

Um, Athena, why don't you tell
the funny story about how we,

well, how I almost
lost the ring?

[whispers] Um...
Sorry, the story?

Yeah, when I dropped the ring
in the duck pond, remember?

Oh.

Um...

[clears throat]

Brian and I had such
a wonderful time

picking out a ring for Athena.

So, you can imagine my surprise
when he called to tell me

it had fallen into a duck pond.

[crowd laughs]

I ruined everything.

Honey. No, you've
ruined nothing.

I'm sorry if I got carried away.

I just want you to be happy.

That's all I care about.

Here I was nervous for days that
something was going to go wrong,

and I was what went wrong.

No, no.

I ran out of there, because I
thought I was going to faint.

[clears throat]

I'm sorry to interrupt, but
I need to speak with Athena.

Alone.

I love you so much.

Me too.

[crowd chattering]

What's going on?
Are people leaving?

The engagement story didn't go
exactly as planned.

Did something happen with Will?

I just ended things with him.

Oh no.

Why?

I really wanted it to work,
but just because I caught

the bouquet doesn't mean
Will is my perfect catch.

Is this about Alex?

Talk to him.

Change his mind.

No, he said he was moving on.

He made it very clear.
That's what he wants.

Josie, you should know...

Car's out front.

You ready?

I should know what?

Nothing.

Let's go.

I'm really sorry.

I... I got carried away.

No. I have been a wreck.

I know you just want
to be involved.

But it's your wedding.

It's not mine.

When Brian said Ed and I
got married,

we were young,
and we had no money.

We got hitched at
the courthouse,

and then we went for pancakes.

Not exactly a royal wedding.

Actually, a pancake
wedding breakfast

sounds pretty perfect to me.

It was delicious.

I just wanted all the pomp
and opulence

and all of the extras
that my friends had.

I understand.

I'm just not a pomp
and opulence person.

Digging around for rocks
is my happy place.

And I kept insisting
that it had to be my way.

Including that ring,

which is the kind of ring
I always wanted.

Well, the ring is growing on me.

Oh!

We had a good life,
Ed and I.

I have money now, and I just
wanted to give you both

the day that I always
dreamed of.

I love that you care.

We'll find a middle ground.

Whatever makes you
and Brian happy, okay?

Oh!

Hugging?

This is good, right?

Yeah. Hugging is good.

Okay.

Hugging is good.

That's our Brian.

Athena, he's your Brian now.

♪

Hey, closing up early today,
Alex.

Sure man.

Just give me two minutes.

Okay.

[phone beeps]

This is your fault!

Oh my goodness,
are you okay?

What happened?

Can you say something

so I can stop asking questions
with exclamation points?

I'm fine.

The wedding is still on.

[sigh of relief]

Donna's story helped
me understand

where she's coming from.

And what a beautiful story
it is.

So what's next?

I agreed to the club.

The ballroom is being rebuilt

and will be done early
next year,

but only if I get my barbecue
and my ice cream truck.

That sounds like
a fair compromise.

Mm-hmm.

So the wedding's postponed
six months,

which is actually kind of ideal,

because I'll have graduated
by then

and hopefully landed
my professorship.

You get your dream ending
after all.

What about your dream ending?

While I was hiding out
on the stairs,

Brian told me I missed a lot.

You and Alex aren't speaking?

You broke up with Will.

Maybe one happy ending is enough
for the day?

I'll tell you this much though,

I am, I'm done with the lore
of the bouquet nonsense.

It was stupid to be
such a believer.

No, come on.

I love that hopeless romantic
side of you.

Don't lose that.

You're going to find the person
that you're looking for.

It just might not look exactly
like you've always dreamed of.

[sighs]

Sensible Josie
doesn't think so.

From now on, I'm going
to plant my feet.

No more unicorns
and wishing wells,

and definitely no more bouquets.

[text alert]

Don't work too late.

Thanks, Dad.

Okay, what I mean is, hasn't
Alex's party already started?

7:00 PM.

Mm-hmm.

What, you're really going
to do data entry

over saying goodbye to Alex?

Didn't you say
you were leaving?

Yeah. All right.

Um, these just came in.

I'll see you in the AM.

Goodnight.

"Dear Josie.

"I've been composing this letter
for a long time now.

"My endeavour to make
a grand gesture.

"But what matters is I tell you
the contents of my heart.

"I see you for who you are,

"a romantic, beautiful dreamer,
loving and kind,

"whose smile lights up any room.

"You embrace life.

"You welcome joy.

"Seeing all the possibilities
in the world and in others.

"Amazingly, you also see me
for who I am.

"I want nothing more

"than to share this thing
called life with you.

"Love, Alex."

Am I too late?

Is he already gone?

No.

I'm right here.

I went to your work,
but you'd left.

To come here.

I got your letter.

Don't go to Chicago.

I'm not.

Chicago's windy.

It's far.

And you're not there.

Wait.

You got my letter? How?

It's called the postal service.

It was beautiful.

I guess it found its way.

Maybe a guy might've picked it
up and stuck it in the mailbox.

I guess I've just been looking
for the signs

and missing the truth.

Love is what you have
with your best friend.

A person who knows
what you want,

even when you don't.

Soul mates.

You know the night
of the shooting star?

I made a wish.

It just came true.

Yeah!

[clapping]

Finally.

Oh no, no, no.

Oh no, missy.
No crying.

Emergency tissue.

I still can't believe I'm
the first one to get married.

The bouquet really does find
who it's meant to find.

Well, ceremony checklist
complete.

Of course, you've had it
under control

since the day I hired you.

We are so thrilled
that you finally decided

to take the leap and be
a wedding planner.

Thanks.

But I couldn't have done it
without you two.

Not only as my first clients,
but as my best friends.

Now, for the finishing touch.

♪

Okay, neither one of us
are pros like you.

You guys outdid yourselves.
It's gorgeous.

In Victorian times, the dahlia
signified a lasting bond

between two people.

It's also Alex's birth flower.

And the aster is
your birth flower.

The talisman of love.

Check out the ribbon.

A nod to our love of old movies!

Every bouquet tells
a love story.

And this one tells yours.

It's time.

Josie, aren't you
forgetting something?

Ah.

I did say I was going to wear
sneakers when I got married.
