Rita, will you marry me?

We're getting married this weekend and you're all invited!

- Congratulations. - Thank you!

- And the dress? - But this is a Belategui!

Mr. Belategui.

There's nothing like the 55 Orchid.

A classic.

I need that classic.

- Any news about the dress? - Belategui has the measurements.

But you won't be able to take it, I'll bring it with me tomorrow.

Luisa, do you want to go to the wedding with me?

We'll go to the church together,

we'll sit next to one another

and you'll only dance with me.

- OK, it's a deal. - Deal!

Enrique will leave as soon as you serve your purpose. Just like your mother did.

At least my mother wasn't an opportunistic nobody.

How dare you talk about my mother like that.

I'll defend what's mine to the death.

Half of Patricia's shares come from her mother.

The only valid marriage here is mine and your father's.

Out! I'll be working here from today.

I decide who stays and who goes, and you're going.

I won't let that tart treat me like this time and again.

I need to keep her close to control her.

It's good for the family.

I don't want her here. Not so close to you.

Tomorrow we're going home.

I'm not going to San Sebastián.

I've left Enrique.

I'm homeless. I don't know what to do or where to go.

Here. You can stay with me.

If I tell father

you're still sleeping with Patricia, your days here are numbered.

All I want from Patricia are her shares in the company.

I wanted to ask you a favour, Alberto.

Why don't you give your uncle a call?

He works for a large textile importer.

I think it could be interesting for the store.

I was trying to remember the last time you told me you loved me.

Never.

You married me for my father's money.

I'm worried about Ana.

It's Carlos.

Forgive me, I acted like a fool.

I'm sorry, but I don't love you.

Don't be silly, Ana.

Let her go! Didn't you hear her?

Alberto, no.

Alberto!

- You're bleeding. - I don't need your help, Ana.

I won't hurt you.

They love each other.

Let them have what we denied ourselves.

Alberto! Alberto!

I don't want you to live with resentment.

Fight for Ana. Promise me you will.

I fought

for my happiness

and I found you.

I promise.

Mother.

I'm leaving incredibly happy.

Uncle, we have to go to the funeral parlour.

You've thrown a party. You'd better get rid of them quickly.

My love, I know you're hurt.

You need to talk about it. Talk to me.

When this is over, you'll see things differently.

I'm not going to change my mind, Cristina.

I don't want you to get your hopes up.

Are you done humiliating me?

I'm not humiliating you. I'm just trying to be honest.

You're humiliating me by saying these things

and telling me to throw our friends out of our home.

Don't throw them out.

But make sure they're not at the funeral tomorrow.

Or I'll throw them out myself.

Don Alberto.

Our sincerest condolences.

Thank you, Blanca.

Hello, Alberto, I'm--

My uncle Esteban.

I was very young when I met you.

I still remember you.

I'll leave you alone. I'll be inside.

It's good to see you.

I was nervous about seeing you.

I wasn't sure how you'd react.

My mother wanted us to see each other again.

Your mother was a great woman.

She spoke very well of you.

That must surprise you. It wasn't the norm in this house.

She told me you run a textile company.

That's correct.

When all this is over, why don't you come by the store and see me?

Thank you.

Let's go.

Thank you.

Alberto, forgive me.

I couldn't come to pay my respects sooner.

As if you gave a damn.

Esteban, this way.

Making friends?

What else can one do at a funeral home?

I'd like to know what we're doing here.

Supporting my brother.

Why don't we get out of here?

Because I'm not going anywhere with you.

No?

Did you really think you could treat me like a fool?

I don't know what you're talking about.

I heard you talking to your sister in the office.

You can forget having any influence in this company

from now on, Enrique.

You and I have the same number of shares.

But seeing how my brother treated you,

I think it's obvious whose side he's on, isn't it?

- Patricia, listen. - Enrique.

Do you have a minute?

I was just leaving.

Are you crazy?

We were just talking.

It looked like a lot more than just chat.

It was just chat until you arrived.

Well I'm glad I stopped you becoming the talk of the town.

May I?

Come in.

I'm so sorry, my friend.

I stopped by the office.

You received some telegrams,

but I thought you'd like this one.

"You only had a few days, but possibly the most unforgettable of your life.

Remember that.

Raúl De la Riva."

He's in Paris buying fabrics for the next collection.

He would have liked to be here.

I'm sure.

Are you OK?

I can't get my head around it.

Sure.

It's hard to accept a loss.

I can't get my head around any of it, Mateo.

Not the loss

nor the fact of having a mother for such a short time.

Life is contemptible.

Thanks for coming.

Don Emilio, it's been a long night. You should be resting.

Yes, very long.

It seems almost everlasting.

I'm so sorry, Alberto.

Don Emilio, let me escort you.

Isabel gave me this

to give to you right before she left the store.

You're not alone, Alberto. You have me.

I don't have you.

Whatever happens, I'll always be with you.

Everyone at the store sends their condolences.

Rita and Clara.

They're in the village preparing Rita and Pedro's wedding.

Finally!

Yes, finally.

They've managed it.

I can't believe she's gone.

Life goes on.

And if your mother taught us one thing,

it's to enjoy it right up to the end.

She was right about that.

You should listen to her, Ana.

Tomorrow your best friend's getting married.

You should be with her.

Tomorrow is Isabel's funeral.

Isabel would want you to be with your friend.

And I want to be here with you.

We'll be fine.

And you'll regret it.

You'll regret it if you don't leave... right now.

- Are you coming to the wedding? - Yes.

But don't tell Rita, OK? It's a surprise, just like her dress.

The dress! We have to pick it up.

Wait, don't worry. I'll go.

You take care of our dresses and I'll get the bride's.

Don't leave without me, please!

- This is ready. - I'm going with her.

Wait! You have to try on the suit.

I can't! The van's about to arrive.

- So I can't try it on. - Come on!

OK!

It looks great! You're dressed to kill!

I look like a penguin, Luisa.

I wouldn't worry,

they've never seen a penguin in the village. You'll be the first.

Honestly, it's too fancy for me.

What do you mean too fancy?

Rita's going to be in a Belategui so you have to look respectable.

I just don't see it.

Think of the wedding photos.

Maybe you can't see it now, but you'll have them your whole lives.

and if you don't look perfect, you'll regret it.

- So, I look handsome? - So handsome.

Thank you.

Be careful you two. You know one wedding leads to another.

Go on, get changed!

- What are you looking at? - At you.

One wedding leads to another...

Aren't I lucky?

Oh, come on!

Don Emilio.

I hear wedding bells.

- What? - Your wedding, Pedro!

Of course!

I can't see it. I feel like a penguin.

- Rita will love it, don't worry. - Yeah.

Don Emilio, how can I say this...

I wanted you to know...

how sorry I am.

Truly.

Isabel was...

an incredible woman.

And she didn't deserve this.

Nor did you.

You know, sometimes,

I wonder why life is so unfair.

But I never find the answer.

It's OK, Pedro.

That's enough,

I don't want to crease your suit.

We'll miss you at the wedding.

I know I've told you many times but,

you're like a father to me, you know that?

Yes.

And without you,

there wouldn't be anything to celebrate.

I wish you both the very best.

Pedro.

Thank you for the hug.

- Do you want another one? - No.

Carry on with what you have to do.

The sleeves are even too short!

Excuse me, does Luisa Rivas work here?

Pedro, take that off or it'll crease. The van's about to arrive.

- What do you want? - That's me.

You've no idea how difficult it's been to find you.

Here I am.

I'm a huge admirer of your work.

Of my sewing?

No, no! Of your singing.

I'm Eusebio Herrera, music producer.

I was speechless

when I heard your performance on Valentine's day.

and then I saw you in the press, those eyes, that smile...

In the press?

Yes, in the press.

That's me!

It seems I wasn't the only one impressed by you.

And in that dress, you're the talk of the town.

In a few weeks I'm starting a tour around the country

with a group of artists and I want you to join us.

And leave here?

Yes, but for a career in music.

No, I can't. I've got a lot of work.

I can't leave the store, it's my life.

You have an obvious talent for music.

I swear I hadn't felt magic like that in a long time.

And what's more I have to leave for the village now.

- My best friend's getting married. - Let's do something. Think it over.

And tomorrow you give me an answer.

- Tomorrow? - Tomorrow.

Luisa, I'm going to make you an artist!

Nice to meet you.

Who was that?

- What did he want? - Nothing. What would he want?

What do you mean nothing?

- Hello! - Oh, Ana!

Look, you won't believe it.

Luisa, it's you!

On the front cover! And look, you're inside as well!

Good grief!

"Luisa was wearing a fabulous dress by little known designer,

Phillipe Ray, whose name is now on everyone's lips.

Have we found the new trend setter in women's fashion?"

I can't believe it. We did it!

Rita's going to go crazy when we tell her!

I can't wait for her to see it!

- Is that her dress? - Yes.

- It's beautiful. - Oh, she's going to love it.

Yes.

Girls, the van's here! Let's go!

- Let's go! - See you upstairs.

- Shall I help you? - Yes.

- I'll take this. - Come on!

The dresses are going to get creased!

Let's go.

I'm ready!

Perfect. Thanks for everything.

I'll get the van back to you on Monday, OK?

Don't worry. Take care!

I'm marrying Rita!

Pedro, save you energy, we've got a long trip.

- So exciting! - In you go.

- Are you happy? - Yes!

Cousin, are you sure you know how it starts?

Yes.

Key,

second gear,

lift clutch three quarters,

accelerator, easy peasy!

Easy peasy!

- Try again. - No, no.

It wasn't second, it was first.

First gear, lift clutch three quarters.

I don't believe it.

You're not supposed to use the clutch.

- Without the clutch it stalls, Luisa. - I know what it is! The handbrake.

The handbrake, it must be the handbrake.

Handbrake, first...

Looks like we're staying put.

What? We can't stay put!

Please go and find the owner of the van, right away!

- I think he's swindled us. - What?

He's taken the money, and left us this pile of junk!

Try again, Pedro, keep trying.

Pedro, Rita's on the phone.

Did you tell her we're still here?

Of course. You're still here.

I can't talk to her.

- She'll kill me. - She'll kill you if you don't take it.

- Off you go! - You have to take the call!

Pick it up, come on.

Rita! My love!

I can't wait to see you and kiss you and be with you forever!

She hung up.

No! I didn't hang up.

What are you still doing there?

We're getting married tomorrow, Pedro. Tomorrow!

- Has Jonás been keeping you? - No, it's not Jonás.

We're leaving now,

we're leaving now, right now.

Put Luisa on.

- What? - They're leaving.

- The hairpins! - Yes.

Rita!

Luisa, you won't lie to me, is everything OK?

Of course!

We're just about to leave and we'll be there in no time.

Well, hurry up!

You have to drive up a dirt track to get here and it takes forever.

I know, we'll be there, don't worry.

And Ana? How is she? Is she OK? And Don Alberto?

Ana? Well, Ana...

How do you think she is? At the funeral home.

And Don Alberto, well he's hurt.

- The hairpins! - I know! Be quiet!

I wish Ana could be here with us.

Well, she'll be with us in spirit.

OK, well,

get a move on! Maybe with you here my parents will be distracted

and stop being so annoying! This is hell! I wish...

- The hairpins! - Shut up about the hairpins!

Tell her!

Luisa! Clara says

to bring the hairpins, she can't find any here.

OK, I've got hairpins with me.

Look after Pedro for me.

I'll make sure he gets there safe and sound.

- Bye bye, Margarita. - Bye!

- Come on! - You hung up the phone!

- What did she say about the hairpins? - What the..?

Look here,

tomorrow's my wedding and the groom isn't here,

and all you care about are your hairpins!

Don't exaggerate, I left my make-up bag in Madrid.

It's the worst thing that could have happened.

- You're unbelievable! - Margarita! Clara!

Come on.

Where have you been, mother?

At Paqui's house, picking up the wedding dress.

- Why did she have it? - She got married in it.

- Didn't she give it to cousin Nieves? - Yes, but then she gave it to Marijose,

Marijose gave it to Mariola and Mariola gave it to Paqui. Come on.

So it's been round the block a few times.

Don't say that!

It knows the way to the church all by itself.

How ungrateful! You know how happy it'll make Mother.

Yes and you'll be the next one to wear it.

- Me? - Don't be ungrateful, Clarita.

Let's go and try it on.

Oh, my little girl!

Oh good Lord, good Lord!

Mother, where are you going?

Angustias!

Auntie Angustias.

Where's Father's shotgun?

Quick, shoot me.

Rita, it doesn't look that bad.

It's in neutral.

- Clutch. - Clutch fully down.

Accelerator half up.

- Was that it? - Yes.

Try it.

I don't believe it! I don't believe it!

Oh Lord! Oh Lord!

That's just what I said.

You're the spitting image of your mother.

Of Mother, Paqui, Puri, Marilén and Maricruz...

This dress has had a lot of owners!

Bonoso even wore it one year for carnival!

I don't want to know about Bonoso!

I'm going to take this off. I don't want it to get ruined.

- You know why he did that. - To save on the present, right?

He's always been stingy.

Honestly!

Stingy? That's putting it mildly.

He's a miser.

That's the word, isn't it? A miser.

May I?

Father! Of course, come in.

Darling,

I was just at the inn talking about your wedding.

To Bonoso?

No. Not him.

He's been in hiding ever since he heard about the wedding.

The thing is,

I was telling them you're getting married

to that boy.

- To Pedro. - That's it.

And as I was talking,

a doubt popped into my mind.

This Pedro...

He's not the same Pedro who was going out with your sister Clara, is he?

But, Father,

how many Pedros from the village do you think work at the store?

Of course it's the same one.

Pedro...

the Skylark?

I see...

Any problem?

Your sister's marrying your boyfriend and you happy as Larry.

- He's not. - Father, listen.

Pedro is the nicest, most honourable man in the world.

- Clara treated him terribly. - Rita!

We all know what a flirt she is, don't we Mother?

In Madrid there are lots of handsome men and Clara can't help but look.

What exactly do you get up to in Madrid?

What could she get up to? Nothing! I went off on a tangent.

What's important is that Pedro loves me so much.

- He loved me a lot too! - But now he loves me and I love him.

You have no idea how much.

He'll be the world's best son-in-law.

Give him a chance, please!

Listen to her, man.

If she says so...

Don't you want her to be happy?

- May I? - Manolito!

Who's this?

- Pedro's son. - Yours?

Of course not mine!

No, of course not.

He's Rosamari's son. Pedro was going out with her,

before Clara.

Where's my shotgun? I'm going to give him a piece of my mind!

Fernando!

Oh my God.

- What's wrong with him? - Nothing, pre-wedding nerves.

- Is my father here yet? - No, but he'll be here soon.

Do you want me to try?

Thank goodness you haven't left yet.

I have something I want you to give to Rita.

Of course.

Take your time, we're not going anywhere soon.

- Thank you for escorting me. - See you tonight.

Get in! You try.

- May I? - And you are?

Esteban Márquez, a friend of Blanca's,

and the best expert in cars you could find.

Let him try.

Please, get in.

The owner said we have to do something with in "neutron".

- In neutral! - Neutral.

Come on, sweetheart.

I don't believe it.

How did you do that?

Like everything else in life, with a touch of skill and a lot of love.

You see? I always say love conquers all!

- Thank you so much, Esteban. - You're welcome!

- I really owe you one. - Let's move or we'll never get there!

What did you want to give us?

Yes, this brooch. Mr. De la Riva told me

you're giving her the Belategui and I think this goes perfectly with it.

Girls come on, before it stalls again. We're off to the village!

- Let's go!. - This is it.

- Come on. - Quick, before it stalls.

OK, let's go. It's still running.

It won't stall, it won't stall.

- See you! - Safe trip!

Let's go!

I had to give them a hand.

- Always with lots of love. - Of course.

The car was fine really.

They were just choking it!

Am I going too quickly?

Quickly?

You're going at 40!

I'm not used to driving vans. And this isn't a 600cc.

The car's veering off to the left. When I go right a can feel it skidding.

You're paranoid. Pedrito, the car's fine!

These headlights aren't very good.

An animal could jump out and I wouldn't see it. Or a puddle...

Pedrito, calm down!

Relax.

Save the nerves for tomorrow.

Are you OK back there?

Well, I can't sleep with all the swaying about, but...

You'll have time to sleep. This trip is such a bore.

Hey, why don't we have a sing-song?

Luisa, sing something. You start us off.

- No. - How did that one go?

To be a first class driver,

or second, or third.

To be a first class driver, you must have a good sense of humour!

Accelerate, Sir, accelerate!

Accelerate, accelerate!

To be a first...

Pedro!

Sorry! I told you the car was skidding!

The singing distracted me! Sorry!

- Pay attention! - Ok, OK.

I'm going to make it to the village in a body bag.

- What a fright. - Sorry, sorry.

Thanks.

Good night.

This isn't working.

I know you're trying your best, but no.

It's never good enough, is it?

Nothing I do is ever good enough?

- That was never the problem. - And what is the problem?

Alberto, don't you love me?

Aren't you in love with me?

- Have you even tried? - Every day.

Every day since we met.

Why?

Why don't you love me, Alberto, after all I've done for you?

After all I've done to save this marriage?

I'm in love with someone else.

But you said...

You said Sara Ortega was a mistake, that it didn't mean anything.

It's not Sara.

It's Ana.

I'm sorry.

I should have told you before,

but I can't do this anymore.

I needed you to know the truth.

Don't!

Don't you dare say you're doing this for my benefit.

I'm doing it for me.

Is she the one you've always loved?

Is she the one your father sent you to London over?

Yes,

she's the one.

And now what?

It's over?

What are you going to do?

Throw your whole life down the drain?

You're going to give up everything for a damn seamstress?

I want to start living.

Go.

Get out!

Elvira.

Elvira!

Madam, are you alright?

Call me a taxi.

Right away.

Are you OK?

Yes. I was thinking about Alberto.

Poor thing. Was he in a bad way?

Yes, of course.

Isabel had become very important to him.

How awful.

At least they had some time together.

That's the most important thing.

And what's with you? You've been quiet the whole way.

You really want to know?

A music producer came to see me

and offered me a tour around Spain.

- I have to answer tomorrow. - What?

- Something wrong? Should I stop? - No.

No, Pedro. I thought I'd forgotten something but it's OK.

That's such good news!

No, Ana. I can't just leave my job.

Luisa, this is your dream come true. You can always come back to the store.

Well, there's something else.

Something happened between Jonás and me.

What?

Something happened with Jonás.

- What? - What happened?

No, Pedro. I thought I'd forgotten something else, but no.

You just concentrate on the road!

When were you going to tell me?

Never, Ana. Never.

It shouldn't have happened and it's not important.

But the thing is...

I can't stop thinking about him.

One wedding leads to another!

Oh don't you start with that nonsense too.

Why are we stopping? Don't tell me it's broken down again.

No, don't tempt fate, Ana.

We're stopping for some food.

I'm going to take a leak.

Can't you chew faster, girls? We'll never make it at this rate.

Maybe if you didn't drive like a snail we'd be there by now.

Better safe than sorry though.

Tell that to Rita when she's at the altar tomorrow,

with no groom and jilted.

- You'll wish you'd had an accident. - Eat and shut up!

It's so cold.

If you want me to warm you up, just ask.

Don't start, OK? Don't start.

"Don't start!"

You'll come around. Then maybe it'll be me who won't be interested.

Luisa, he really likes you.

You have to tell him.

Girls I want to reach the village before dawn!

I'll tell him. I'm waiting for the right moment.

Find it.

You're right.

- I don't believe it. - Tell me you're joking.

Don't panic OK. It started before,

and it will start again, so don't worry.

Try it now.

It won't start.

I can't believe this!

Any luck?

Any luck? Are we in the village?

I don't know how many hours we've been here.

Pedro, just do the same as when we left Madrid.

Oh sure, skill and love? That doesn't work!

Good boy,

good boy.

Rita's the most beautiful woman in the world.

I can't let her down.

I can't leave her standing at the altar.

Rita.

Rita, I love you.

It's a miracle!

Pedro, put it in first! Let's go!

That's it!

Let's go!

Once they got the old banger started,

they left in quite a hurry!

I assume your niece will let us know once they arrive.

But they were definitely running late.

I thought you'd want to know.

What are you doing standing there?

What do you mean?

I'm keeping you company.

But if you want to get changed,

I can make you something to eat and come back in a minute.

- That's not necessary. - I don't care what you say, Don Emilio.

You shouldn't be alone today.

The funeral's tomorrow

and I think I should stay with you in case you need something.

The only thing I need is rest.

And with you here I won't get any.

I'll call you. If I need you, I'll call you.

Now I want to be alone. Thank you.

Esteban, I know we'd arranged to go out, but...

I missed you.

I don't think it's a good idea for me to leave.

Don Emilio says he's OK,

that he wants to be alone, but I'm not sure.

His niece isn't here and I'm sure she'd want me to stay with him.

I totally understand.

We'll go out another time.

I know what you're going through.

It just takes time. You'll see.

Why don't you stay?

I'll make some coffee and you can keep me company.

I know it's not the best plan but we're closed

and most of the staff are at the wedding.

We won't be disturbed.

I don't know if it's a good idea.

Why not?

Don Alberto was happy to see you this morning.

Don't you think it's time to start over?

On one condition.

I want a personal tour of the store.

It's been so long, I don't know if I'd recognise it.

Remember how the store used to be divided on two floors?

Before the workrooms were upstairs.

When Isabel arrived, we divided up into two groups.

One for the Airsa uniforms,

and one for Raúl De la Riva's new collection.

That's what we're working on now.

It's really beautiful.

I'll see if I can get him to show you when he's back from his trip.

I've never seen anything like it.

The uniforms are practically finished,

we've only a few orders left.

I suppose when everything's finished

the seamstresses will go back to working as one team again.

Although I'm not sure of Don Alberto's plans.

But after the success of the uniforms I imagine

he'll want to stay on the same track, because...

Go back to sleep, it's early.

RAUL DE LA RIVA'S DESIGNS

I should already have my make-up on! And my hair done! And dressed!

And I'm in my nightie with no groom and in a state.

They should have arrived yesterday. Why aren't they here?

Maybe something's happened to them.

What if they've been killed?

I'll be a widow before a bride!

This is awful!

I bet you've got a dress for that too?

Or have you put it on a sheep so it won't get cold?

Rita, don't be silly. Pedro will be here.

And if not, we'll just postpone the wedding.

No, that's not happening.

The date's set and the food ordered.

You're getting married and that's that.

In a church, with a wedding reception,

and a good band playing nice, traditional music.

With or without your Skylark.

You know I don't like traditional music.

- Shall I make you a cup of tea? - Three.

Rita, don't worry,

Pedro's a careful driver.

They probably left at night which is why he's taking it slowly.

Look, there it is!

I thought you were a careful driver! Slow down or you're going to kill us!

I can see it!

I can see it! I can see it!

- We're almost there! - Look at the road!

Brake! Brake!

What happened?

Sheep.

I don't believe this!

Excuse me!

We're in a bit of a rush. Any idea how long the sheep will be?

You're the ones in a rush not them.

They go at their own pace.

Right, but we're on our way to my wedding.

You can't imagine the journey we've had.

What are you doing?

What do you think? Trying to get these sheep moving!

You keep chatting away!

You can tell he's a country boy!

- Nothing. I don't know. - We're not going to make it!

Yes, we are!

What are you doing?

Look, we're right by the village,

so if I can't get by with the van,

I'll walk.

You can stay and wait if you want.

Tell him to wait!

You tell him! Look at the state he's in!

Cousin!

Cousin!

Come on.

We're in heels! Wait!

Come on, come on.

Move it.

Good grief!

Look at all this dust!

Cousin, wait for us!

- Good day. - Good day.

We're not going to make it!

Where's the damn house?

Good morning, Don Eusebio.

Wait!

We're here.

We made it! Rita!

Thank God!

But you can't see me before the wedding. It's bad luck.

That's true! Go! Don't look at her!

- Don't look! - What's the difference?

I thought there wasn't going to be a wedding.

You see? You're so over the top!

I told you so!

- And where should we change? - Surprise!

What are you doing here? Oh, Ana!

Don't exaggerate,

we saw each other the day before yesterday!

How can I not exaggerate?

Two seconds ago I thought there wasn't going to be a wedding!

How's Alberto?

It was him who told me to come,

that I'd regret it otherwise and he was right.

How are you?

Waiting to hear her say "I do".

We have to change before that happens so let's go!

Everyone go get changed!

Come on, I'll help you.

Girls,

you know how much I love you all,

and to have you here on my wedding day is all I could've wished for.

But, whatever you do, don't laugh when I put this dress on.

Please, I beg you.

Promise me.

OK?

What's this?

Rita, today is the most important day of your life

and we want you to always remember it

with a smile. So we've brought you this.

Open it.

It's a De la Riva, that's how we got it.

This is the...

the Belategui.

But...

how can this be? It's impossible.

And we think it will go with this brooch from Doña Blanca.

This is all so...

beautiful.

Thank you so much, girls.

Rita don't cry.

No.

Though you haven't got your make-up on so you can cry!

You're going to be the most beautiful bride.

Because I have the best friends in the world.

Happy Christmas.

Are you ready?

What are you doing here?

I've come to keep you company.

A bit late to play the good sister, don't you think?

Alberto, I know I've behaved badly towards you lately,

but I want you to know I'm sorry.

Enrique is a pest. If you want, things can change.

You're right about that.

The shares Gloria gave you don't belong to you.

What do you mean?

The marriage between my mother and father was valid.

That cancels out any dirty tricks Gloria was trying to play on me.

I'm going to make sure I get back what's mine, Patricia.

See you in court,

sister.

Did you get any sleep?

I've been up all night.

- How do you feel? - I'll be OK.

- Shall we go? - And Cristina?

We had a fight last night and I haven't heard from her since.

- She's probably at her father's. - Wait. What happened?

I told her the truth, Mateo.

I told her I'm in love with Ana.

I made no sense to keep on lying.

All I was doing was hurting her and everyone else.

I'm not saying you didn't do the right thing, but why now?

Because I made a promise, and I'm planning on keeping it.

There comes a time for everyone on this earth.

A time to live and a time to die.

Would you excuse us?

Time to sew and to reap what we sew.

I won't tell you not to cry,

for now is our time to cry for sister Isabel.

I know this isn't the best time,

and you probably won't like what I'm going to say,

but I want you to know it was her who encouraged me to do it.

I'm going to fight for the love of my life.

Do what you have to do.

Thy Kingdom come, thy will be done,

on earth as it is in heaven.

Give us this day our daily bread...

I don't think you understand me.

Forgive us our trespasses,

As we forgive those who trespass against us.

Do what you have to do.

Deliver us from evil. Amen.

Alberto.

What are you doing? Where are you going?

To a wedding.

Without me?

Get in the car.

- I don't believe it! - Oh, no!

Now what?

Alberto, this is crazy.

Maybe it's a sign we should stay here.

Wait.

Wait here a moment.

Where are you going now?

What have you done?

- You didn't...? - Get in the car.

Alberto, listen to me.

- This is crazy. - Mateo, get in the car.

We should stay here. But it's OK.

You've just left your wife and buried your mother. You have an excuse.

Clara! Ana!

We're on our way!

30 minutes late, Father.

I know Rita. She's doing this on purpose.

On purpose, I know it.

I know her, Sir.

Half an hour is nothing compared to your track record.

If I have to cancel another of your weddings,

I'm going to be the talk of the diocese.

They should be here by now.

Jonás, don't be a pain. It's tradition for the bride to arrive late.

With everything that's happened I'm a bit nervous.

I feel like I'm the one getting married!

Isn't that right, Luisa?

Luisa, are you OK?

Yes, of course.

Look at them. The best things come to those who wait, son.

Good luck!

Child, there's still time,

you can still ditch this skylark.

Father.

We'll still get to eat the wedding banquet!

You look beautiful.

You look handsome too, Pedro.

In the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost,

Amen.

We are gathered here today, to join in holy matrimony

- Pedro Infantes and Margarita Montesinos. - Rita.

What?

Rita. My name's Rita.

Rita Montesinos.

I baptised you, gave you your first communions,

and you're here again, this time together,

Rita and Pedro forever inseparable,

playing in the street together until dinner time,

arriving late to Sunday school, skipping mass,

Anyone who knows you knows that this is meant to be.

You're made for each other.

Today you are joined here in love.

And that deserves to be celebrated before all your friends and family,

and before God our Saviour.

Rita, um, Margarita.

No, Rita.

- Do you take Pedro as your...? - One moment.

- One moment. - Oh no, not again!

No, it's just...

I wanted to say it wasn't easy getting here.

Isn't that right, cousin?

We had problems with the van,

- with the sheep, with Ana's heels... - Pedro.

Sorry, I'm getting a bit tied up.

What I mean is that often a man

doesn't know how to express himself

or can't find the right moment, but...

now I'm sure because the moment's standing here before my eyes.

There isn't a happier man alive.

She was my friend.

She was my best friend.

And now finally she's going to be

my wife.

She's going to be my wife.

And one thing that hasn't changed...

She's always been

and always will be the love of my life.

I love you so much.

I love you too, Pedro. So much.

And that said...

Rita.

- Rita. - Yes, yes!

Do you take Pedro as your lawfully wedded husband,

and promise to love and cherish him until death do you part?

I do.

Pedro,

Do you take Rita as your lawfully wedded wife

and promise to love and cherish her until death do you part?

I do.

By the powers vested in me, I declare you

husband and wife.

Fernando, don't be so old-fashioned!

You look so beautiful!

- Look it's Luisa. - Yes, it's me!

- You look gorgeous! - Now you're famous!

Here it says Phillipe Ray!

I know!

The competition was a great showcase,

now everyone's going to want a Phillipe Ray dress.

- Here's to Phillipe Ray. - Phillipe Ray!

And to Mrs. Infantes.

- To the bride! - To the wedding night!

The wedding night!

- Long live the bride! - To the bride!

And groom.

To the groom!

Some wine?

A cigar?

I want you to know I'm not a skylark or a drunk.

I swear, Fernando.

Don Fernando.

Now that we're family I can call you Fernando.

No.

- Father? - No.

Dad?

Don Fernando, Don Fernando.

I hear that lately you've been doing a lot of carp fishing.

It's the season.

Sure. Well now you can go with your son-in-law.

The truth is I'm finding them hard to catch.

Have you been spoon casting?

- Of course. - No.

You have to use breadcrumbs.

No carp can resist a breadcrumb!

- Isn't that right, cousin? - Yes, indeed.

Why didn't you marry my Margarita, eh?

Enjoy your meal.

Thanks a lot cousin. A great help.

Well, I tried. Good luck!

I fish with breadcrumbs too.

Luisa, I have to talk to the musicians. Will you survive without me?

I've had enough. You've been acting weird all trip.

If you didn't want us to come together,

- just tell me. - No, no. It's not that.

Then what?

You remember that man who came to see me... you asked me who he was?

He was a music producer.

He offered me a contract

and I'm going to take it.

What are you talking about? That's fantastic!

- It's good news, then? - Of course!

But the thing is,

I'm going on tour.

You're leaving.

For six months at first.

Minimum.

And then... depending on it goes,

- I may be gone longer. - Six months is a long time.

Great timing.

But that doesn't mean that between you and me...

What about you and me?

A tour doesn't last a lifetime.

Six months will fly by.

How does this go?

I don't know.

You know we don't know it.

Ladies and gentlemen, put your hands together for...

the Skylark!

- Should I go up? - Come on, up you come!

Seriously?

Let's go!

Look at him go!

Always the life and soul!

He's singing to me!

Rita, I love you.

But I can't sing!

Bravo!

We made it!

Hello, Clarita.

What do you want, Simon?

A close dance and then whatever we feel like.

You're a bit skinny, but you've still got something to grab onto.

What's the problem? Your mother told me you're single.

We're cousins.

Second.

Second cousins, Clarita.

Don't be such a pervert!

I swear, if one more creep comes up to me...

How are you?

Clara, when I was little I always dreamed of being the star of a romantic movie.

I'm not so little anymore,

yet here I am.

Now would be the key moment.

When the knight

enters on his white horse,

climbs the tower and rescues the princess.

And breaks the evil spell

that had kept them apart for so many years.

That's when they'd vow eternal love to each other

and then live happily ever after.

Our fairy tale's over, Ana.

I'm going to say goodbye to the bride and groom and go home.

Sleep well, Clara.

I'm going home.

So soon?

All that's left are couples and desperate people, so...

Simon trying it on again?

Yes, exactly.

Listen.

I'm not really the type to talk about these things,

But I love you very much.

I love you very much

and you're going to be so happy.

Thank you, Clarita.

Have a great night!

You're Ana, aren't you?

I'm the bride's cousin.

Leaving already?

You haven't even danced a pasodoble.

- Not with me at least. - Right.

But it's late and my feet are killing me, but thank you.

Not even one last dance with me?

It wouldn't be the first time we've danced barefoot.

What are you doing here?

Fighting for you.

I talked to Cristina.

I told her I've spent my whole life in love with the same person.

With my first love,

who I'm sure will be my only love.

I'm fed up of living a lie, Ana.

From now on,

it's just you and me.

Take me to your white horse.

Please check that this is Mateo Ruiz Lagasca's house.

Right away.

Well, it looks like we're here.

A house for just the two of us.

A house that will give your disgrace of a father,

his just desserts.

Don Alberto Marquez has the press in a flap.

The Velvet director has been seen

with an as yet unidentified young woman.

Is this the end of his marriage to Cristina Otegui?

Low blows in the world of high fashion.

Velvet has accused Oxford of stealing Raul De la Riva's designs.

Tensions within the Marquez family have never been so high.

The mysterious Phillipe Ray

to join Velvet and work with the great Raúl De la Riva.

Two masters working together on the new collection.

Gentlemen, your wives will be after your wallets!

You heard her here first on Radio Continental

and now she's a superstar!

Luisa Rivas' tour still receiving great reviews.

Don't forget us, Luisa!

Cristina Marquez and Bárbara de Senillosa to do business with Velvet.

Together they hope to establish a place for themselves at the store.

Well, it seems the women are the ones to watch out for.

And back to society life,

Patricia Marquez's new relationship seems to be going well.

The young woman was spotted wearing a beautiful diamond ring.

But is it an engagement ring?
