The weather's better than this on Saturday.

What are all these people doing here?

Oh, well, um... Seems like a lot of fuss.

Even the simplest things need preparation.

Do you want all four sides of the barn painted or just the side that shows?

Huh? I don't know. What do you think, Jasper?

Uh, well, just the side... Oh, fine and dandy. I put some of my stuff in your

barn, Jasper. Is that all right? Uh, no.

There's a lot of fragile equipment in there. The boys and I were real careful.

I'm sure you were, but, uh...

Aunt Olivia, Felicity and I have all the flowers arranged.

Oh, we found this beautiful patch of phenanthrope behind the Biggins boarding

house. They promised not to mow it down. That's lovely, Sarah.

You just think, in only one week, you'll be Mrs. Jasper Dale. I know.

Sarah.

Olivia. Hello, Felicity.

Hello there, Rebel. Hello.

Hello, Hetty.

Good timing. I need some advice.

Advice? How unusual.

Hetty, where do you think we should set up the picnic after the ceremony?

Oh, far be it from me to give you any advice about your wedding, Olivia.

Well, I swore from the start I wouldn't interfere.

And I haven't. I appreciate that, Hetty, but I... Did I object when he announced

you wouldn't need a wedding gown?

Did I rant and rave?

No, I did not.

I simply stopped by to see if you wanted a ride home.

No, thank you.

There's a lot of work to be done around here. We could use some help.

I'm sure you could.

Yeah.

What happened?

Oh, I suppose one of the boys couldn't resist giving it a throw. Oh, Jasper,

sorry. No, no, no.

Just at least peep.

milling about.

You don't like it, do you? Like what?

Well, the idea of having the wedding here.

All the people.

After, listen to me.

We don't have to go through with all of this. A lot of you don't want to.

The only thing that matters to me is that we get married.

There you go, Daniel.

I suppose things are going to be turned upside down around here the next few

days. Oh, Alec, don't worry. Everything's under control.

It's a shame Roger and Andrew can't be here for the wedding, but they have

promised to send something special from Brazil.

By the way, have you heard from your great -aunt?

Oh, great -aunt Eliza wouldn't miss a wedding for the world.

She's an old dear and you a moot.

Well, those aren't exactly the words that jump to mind, but I have to...

promised to behave myself.

I don't know how you do it all.

You're a wonder.

Well, I'm just glad Libby decided to keep the wedding simple.

It's not simple enough for Jasper, Stace. I saw him in town today.

Looked like a man about to be dragged to the gallows.

Poor dog.

Don't you have a home to go to?

Aunt Olivia?

Sarah! Did you hear that noise?

What noise?

What's that?

Well... Aunt Olivia!

You're going too low!

Sarah, please!

That's the most romantic thing I've ever heard!

Olivia?

Sure you want to go through with it? Oh, of course I do.

Olivia, King, as I live and breathe, you are about to... Elope.

Elope? Isn't it romantic?

It is despicable.

How dare you even think of tarnishing the King's name?

It was my idea!

Your idea?

It is obvious that neither of you is capable of thinking in a rational

so...

Jasper Dale, home.

Sarah,

bed.

Olivia, inside.

From now on, I am in charge.

Eddie, listen to me. I do not need a fancy wedding dress.

My blue or white suit will do just fine.

Since I've gone to the trouble of arranging a proper church wedding,

have a proper wedding dress, though.

It won't do, Mom!

Nonsense, Cornelia.

Just do your corset up tighter.

The fine kettle of fish, Mrs. Lawson.

It's plain you took the wrong measurements.

I couldn't...

have done that, Mrs. Bugle. I'm sure of it.

Perhaps Cornelia has gained a little.

Stop that munching.

I don't want no excuses.

What are we going to do with the wedding only days away?

Really, Mrs. Bugle?

This Saturday at four.

She's marrying that young Hiram Sprocket.

Charming.

My sister Olivia is to be married on Saturday at two.

Reverend Leonard's going to be a busy man.

Now, see here, Mrs. Lawson, I either want another dress or my money back.

Just look at that catalog.

Oh, oh.

That's a peach, a real peach. Isn't it corny? That is the most expensive dress

in the book.

Potus Boy.

It's copied straight from a Paris original. You know, the train is ten

long. It is very pretty, Aunt Olivia. Come look.

Oh, no, it's far too grand for me.

Hattie, besides, look at the price.

Nothing is too good for my daughter.

We'll take it, too. Hattie!

Not to worry, Olivia.

No one at her wedding will ever be at our wedding, so... Make sure you order

in the right size this time.

It will be here on time, of course, Elvira.

Well, it is awfully short notice, Hattie, but... Better be here before the

wedding, considering it was your mistake that put us in this position.

I will do my very best, Teddy.

I mean, Mrs. Bugle.

Please do.

Oh, again, perhaps I should take some measurements, Olivia.

That lot of good that seems to do.

Oh. Oh.

Perhaps we'll do that later.

I can... I can come back another time. I see that you're busy.

Get on with it.

I bet you're sorry you didn't elope.

No, it's only right that Olivia should have a proper wedding. No, I've said

all along.

But... Dang it! Sarah Stanley, if I can't even get the proper words out in

normal conversation, how am I ever going to get it through a marriage ceremony?

You'll be fine, Jasper. All you have to say is, I do.

Yes, but... It was, uh...

Something else I'd very much like to say.

What?

Well, in my head, I imagine...

I'd like to give a short speech.

A speech?

A toast.

To Olivia.

I'd like to stand up in front of everyone and tell Olivia how I feel.

That's a lovely idea.

Yes, that's all it is. It's an idea.

And have you got the book of speeches? I'll pick just the right one and I'll

coach you.

Jasper, you'll be fine. I'll help you.

Father, book the ballroom at the White Sands Hotel for my reception.

Jasper!

Of course, there's an arm and a leg.

Kings don't hold with such crassness as wedding receptions in public buildings.

Family celebrations have always been held at the King Farm, you see.

Na -di -da, Miss King.

Come, Cornelia.

Have you spoken to Janet about this?

No, I have not.

Besides, Janet's opinion has nothing to do with it.

Are you telling me the reception will be here at my house?

Only if it rains. If it's sunny, we'll have it outside.

Won't inconvenience you in the least.

Won't inconvenience me.

One thing, dear.

To prepare a picnic lunch, I was only too glad to help out, but a reception

at King Farm for 50, with less than a week to prepare.

I like your Janet to be so negative.

Hetty, King!

Have you lost your senses?

How dare you assume it would be fine with me?

Have you any idea how much work goes into organising an event like this?

She's here!

Oh, dear God!

Felicity, where's Daniel?

You know, if you were better organised, Janet, you'd not find yourself in such a

constant tizzy about everything.

For heaven's sake, Alec, this rickety old thing has got me black and blue all

over. I believe that you deliberately look for every pothole to drive through

from that ghastly train station to here.

Oh, hello, Felicity.

You haven't grown at all.

Oh, there you are, Janet. I didn't lie, sir. You look positively worn out.

Felix, give me a hand with this luggage, will you?

Of course.

Let me take it to that dog. Get in here.

Get away from here.

Come on. Come on, boy.

Hey, I think I'll call you Digger.

Eliza, how nice to see you.

Oh, well, at least you'll be able to appreciate all my plans for the wedding.

Alec, you've got to do something. Tell her it's out of the question. Janet, I

in no mood. Let's just get this week over with as quickly as possible.

Well, it's all very well for you to say. I'm the one who has to do everything.

So you're going to have the reception at your place.

Isn't that a splendid idea?

What?

That's what I was trying to tell you.

Alec, you know, you should spruce this place up around here. Maybe this will

light a fire under you.

The baby's teetering.

Only one can see that from the long.

Isn't that better, Daniel?

Bravo.

Ah,

appropriate telephone speech.

What are you up to?

Oh, nothing.

Just something for the wedding. Oh, yes, the wedding.

What's wrong, Aunt Olivia?

Oh, I don't know. I'm sure it'll all be fine.

Jasper is happy now that it isn't at his farm. It was really for him that I

wanted to, you know... Anyway, Hetty has promised to keep it simple.

Oh, great Jehoshaphat.

It's four pages long, Sarah.

Hetty King, this...

It's supposed to be a family wedding.

Well, I don't even know some of these people. Olivia, don't start.

It's taken me all day to compile that guest list.

Oh, you have no idea how difficult it is to do without slighting people right

and left.

Be thankful I did it for you.

Betty, it just isn't what we planned.

Jasper wants to keep it simple.

This is your wedding, Olivia, not Jasper's. Remember that.

Now about the flowers.

There's nothing to look at locally, that's for sure. I have to send to

Charlottetown, I suppose.

Eddie, Felicity and I are doing the flowers.

Don't be silly, Sarah.

But the Queen Anne's place... Can stay in Mrs. Biggin's backyard where it

belongs. I give up.

Obviously what I want doesn't matter.

I had hoped for a little cooperation.

There must be over 100 people on this list.

122 not counting Olivia Jasper. Oh, Alec! I don't know why you're calling

Janet. As far as I can see, he's never here when you need him.

Besides, I'd be surprised if half those people show at this late date.

Oh, Felicity!

Felicity! Get Daniel!

Felicity!

Mother, I can't do everything.

Sarah, you and Aunt Hetty can make yourselves far more useful than just

around making lists.

Felicity!

Janet, I'd love a cup of tea, if you don't mind.

I don't know why, but my bones are all chill.

It's over 85 degrees outside, Annalisa.

Alec, that old plow behind the barn is an eyesore.

You must get rid of it before the wedding.

You don't feel the cold like I do.

Look, if she wants to plow moose, she's got two arms.

Alec! Oh, you'll be old too one of these days. You'll find out, Alec. Look at

this. This whole thing has gotten totally out of hand.

Why don't you just tell Hattie?

Why me?

She's your sister.

It's your family wedding, Alec. I don't see why Janet should bear the brunt,

especially with a six -month -old baby into the bargain.

Why don't you just for once, Eliza, stay out of this?

Don't you talk to my aunt like that.

It means no such thing, young lady. Just do as you're told.

Come on.

There's no need to... I

never did get my

tea, did I?

She shows... She shows... But,

sir... Sir, I can't...

Talk with these things in my mouth. It won't work. Just try it again.

No, all right.

Sea shells.

Sea shells by the seashore.

You see?

That was much better.

My elocution teacher swore by this exercise.

Make sure to mark the knees of his stutter.

Let's try the speech again. I think it's a perfectly beautiful one, don't you?

It's a bit fervent. Just try it.

To my bride.

How can I describe the many ways that I love thee?

My love.

My life.

My only reason for living.

I... Toast thing?

I love you.

Olivia's dress isn't here.

The wedding's tomorrow.

What are you going to do about it, Alvara?

Does that mean that my daughter Cornelia's dress isn't here either?

Oh, no.

Oh, hush, Cornelia. Please.

Ladies, I am doing my very best. Now, if that dress isn't here tomorrow morning,

Elvira Lawson, I will throw a blue fit.

How sensible.

If Olivia's dress isn't here by 11 o 'clock tomorrow morning, the Kings will

take their business elsewhere from here on in, Elvira. I promise you that they

will be here by 11 o 'clock tomorrow morning if my husband has to drive to

Charlottetown to get them.

Goodness knows where to put Eliza.

Of course, she's not related to the king's intruders.

There's not a ward who'll speak to her except Janet. So I'll put her at the

table. Eddie, I don't want a head table.

There's no pleasing you, is there, Olivia?

I just don't like the idea of sitting apart.

I just don't like people staring at us.

I would like to have a simple picnic buffet where we could mingle with our

guests. Mingle?

With a ten -foot train trailing along in the dirt?

I didn't want a ten -foot train. And with any luck at all, it won't arrive.

Well, there's gratitude for you.

Don't go to all this trouble bending over backwards. Nobody asked you to,

for heaven's sake.

Stop shouting, both of you.

Don't you think I should have let you run off into the night like a pair of

gypsies? I wanted you to have a wedding you could be proud of.

You did not, Eddie King.

You wanted a wedding that you could be proud of.

Well, whose wedding is it anyway, mine or yours?

What a ridiculous question.

The only good thing about this whole business is that I'll be able to move

from you and your constant interfering.

everything.

Just pride to be jitters, that's all. She'll come to her senses.

There I...

I

toast thy innocence,

thy trust, and thy undying...

Devotion, my wife, my heaven sent, dove of peace.

Olivia.

Jasper, I can't go through with this.

Eddie is... Why don't we just drive into Charlottetown right now and get a

justice of the peace to marry us? Olivia.

Jasper, you agreed before.

Only because I thought it would make you happy.

you.

I'll be fine.

Do not worry about me.

Let's just go then.

I can't do that either.

Janet would never forgive me after repairing all that food.

Oh, Jasper, I just don't know what to do.

I tried so hard to keep everything simple, and it's just completely out of

control. Tomorrow, it's just... One day in the rest of our lives.

It's a very long day, most likely, but it's just one.

We'll get through it.

You think so?

Yes.

I'm just so afraid that you'll hate it.

She even has us sitting at a head table.

No,

no, it will be fine.

A nice view.

Another night under the same roof with that woman?

I don't think you can stay here.

It might not look as if... No, no, what I mean is that... Jasper, I'm not going

back to Rose Cottage. You're not? No.

What about the cocaine farm? You could stay there.

Oh, yes.

Janet wouldn't mind, would she?

She's sure to understand.

Where have you been?

I have been out moving that blasted plow.

I just hope it makes your great Aunt Eliza happy.

Children in bed?

Yes, they are.

No thanks to you.

Look, I can't be everywhere at once.

Oh, that's funny. I have to be.

Janet, why don't we stop this?

Janet! Could you be a dear and switch my mattress with Felicity's? I can't abide

horsehair mattresses. My back, you know.

I tried to, Mother, but it's much too heavy. Please, keep your voices down. I

just got the baby settled. Now, why don't you two just switch beds?

Oh, I couldn't possibly.

Hers is much too close to the window.

With my arthritis...

What are you doing out so late?

I want to stay here.

You... What the...

Alec? Hello, Alec.

Oh, Olivia.

Dear, what's the matter?

Janet, it's Hetty.

I just can't stay there another minute. She's being so horrible. Oh, there,

there, I know.

Now, look, both of you must stay here. Come on, let's go upstairs.

Thank you.

Hetty has gone.

Yeah, well, tomorrow's the date.

Yeah, yeah, it certainly is.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

You've got the ring, then?

Yes, I do.

Yes, I do.

Well, seeing as Felix is going to be the ring bearer, maybe I'll drop by in the

morning and make sure it gets to the church.

It's a good idea. Good idea.

I tend to forget things.

Especially, uh... Casper, you're not

nervous.

Me?

Some.

It's a big step.

One of the biggest steps you'll ever take.

And I sincerely hope that Olivia and I can be as happy as you and Janet.

Well, I'm sure you will be, even after the honeymoon bliss is over.

Actually, it's the honeymoon part that has me a little worried.

Oh, come on, man.

Olivia's a little high -strung. I know she's bound to be a bit nervous, but...

I'm sure that Olivia will be fine.

Jasper, you're going to be fine, too.

Well, tomorrow's the day.

You better get home and get some sleep.

Yeah. That's a good idea.

See you in church.

Yeah. Right, Alec?

Crying out loud.

Shh. Oh, it's a baby.

What is she doing here?

Olivia's in her bed. Well, where am I supposed to sleep?

Oh, now, look what you've done.

Look, every bed in this house is full. I mean, it's a fine state of affairs when

a man can't find a place to sleep in his own house.

Why don't you go and sleep in his cottage? There's plenty of room there.

Ah, so you've moved in too, have you?

Why not? Everyone else has.

Eddie?

Hattie. Hattie.

Alec.

What are you doing here?

Well, no room at the end. I was hoping I could bunk here.

Yes, of course you can.

Plenty of empty rooms.

It's all my own fault. I did everything I swore I'd never do.

But I couldn't just stand there and watch that marriage get off to such a

start.

Could I?

I want sister.

The only one I have left, and I've lost her too.

You haven't lost her. She cares too much about you.

Olivia's always been more like a daughter to me, see, than a sister.

Now my life will be so empty.

It's not going to be the same.

But you can take it from a father who knows you can have your hands full with

Sarah.

Everything's going to be fine, Hattie.

You come on over tomorrow.

It's one more person in that house. And you help Olivia get ready.

And everybody's going to forget all of this ever happened.

Now I'm going to get some sleep.

Thank you, Alec.

You can take Sarah's room.

Sarah.

Good night, Hattie.

best, dear Uncle Al. That a girl. I'll turn the buggy around.

Sarah, it's here. That's wonderful.

Mrs. Bugle, I'll get yours, too.

It's here?

Well, hallelujah.

Here we are, Sarah. Tell Olivia to wear it in good health. I will. Thank you so

much.

My Cornelia will be lucky to have good health.

You've got new stomach powders, Mrs Lawson.

Pure nerves, that's all. She can't keep anything down.

Well, Olivia, you're going to be a married woman before the day is out.

I hope it's not one of those cases of marry in haste, repent at pleasure.

Janet, we have to be ready in an hour, you know.

Oh, goodness, all that dress.

to play ball, go outside. You're only in the way here.

And don't get dirty in those good clothes.

Mother,

we don't have that much time. When are you going to get dressed?

Suffocate. Stand still. Now, I'm going to sew this ring into your pocket so you

don't lose it. No, I'm not going to lose it. What do you think I am, a baby or

something? All right, all right.

Here.

Now, here's a hanky.

I don't need no dumb hanky.

We have work to do. Has your name on it?

Lord.

Must have mixed them up in Charlottetown.

My

life.

My heaven sent.

My ring.

It's a symbol of... Get

up there!

Get down!

Lord love us. Size 8, not 18.

Give me the dress. No!

Go to old Peter.

We'll make it fit. We've got your dress.

Where is it? Polybius!

The wedding's first.

We'll leave Cornelia's dress in the church. You can pick it up there.

Good day.

Ma, I'm going to be slick.

Jasper, don't blow your cell phone.

Oh.

Felix caught into it.

Take time, you.

Get down, darn you.

Felix,

hang me.

Come in here this moment.

Everything's fine. I can do it myself.

You look wonderful.

Teddy, what in blazes are you doing?

I'll tell that to the judge.

I, Jasper Thomas Dale, to take the Olivia King to be my

lawful wife, according to God's holy ordinance, to have

and to hold from this day forward, for better and for worse, for richer, for

poorer, in sickness and in health, to love

and to cherish.

Till death do us part.

Could we have the ring, please?

I give thee this ring as token and pledge of the covenant made between us.

For as much as Olivia and Jasper have consented together in holy wedlock, and

have declared the same before God, and in the presence of these witnesses, I

pronounce you man and wife, in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy

Ghost.

Look, Ma.

It's a gold ring.

Thank you so much.

Oh, Alec.

And so, as you start your journey into married life, and believe me, it's an

adventurous one, we all want to wish you the very best.

Here's to the happy couple.

I'd just like to take this opportunity to say a few words about my new...

To Olivia.

To my bride.

How can I describe the many ways that I love thee?

My...

My love, my... My life.

I think I'll say it in my own way.

To fall in love with Olivia, or even more unbelievably,

to have her fall in love with me, is the most astounding and... wonderful thing

that possibly could ever have happened to me.

You are of most... You are the most special person.

Now, I know how the King family rallied together to

look after each other. For better or for worse.

So I want to assure you all that I'm not taking Olivia away from this fine,

solid family of hers, but rather that I am honored to become

part of it.

I'd like to propose a toast to my

beautiful new bride, who means more to me than...

Anything in the whole world.

To Olivia.

To Olivia.

There you are.

Hello, Olivia.

Just making myself useful.

Eddie, I just... I just want you to know that

the wedding was a wonderful idea.

It wouldn't have been right for me to have been married without my family

surrounding me.

All the trouble we've been through.

She'll let you elope in the first place.

I'm going to miss you and Rose Cottage so much.

Rose Cottage isn't going anywhere.

I'll always be there for you.

You'll be on your way now.

Your new husband's waiting for you.

Oh.

Oh, Olivia.

All those obvious shortcomings.

Jasper's come a long way with nothing but you.

Oh, dear. No, it's true.

Congratulations, Jasper.

Oh, thank you.

Welcome to the family.

Thank you, Ellie.

Have a lovely trip, Aunt Olivia.

Thank you, Sarah.

A man is nothing but trouble, Olivia, and all the uncertain things in this

world. Marriage is the most uncertain.

Well,

thank you for the advice, Aunt Eliza.
