Ah, this house has seen it all.

I've lived here since I first married.

The births of my first four children and
the fun we had.

But then my husband left.

My kids grew up and they left too.

And then I met the greatest man in the
world and fell in love all over again.

And then I got the surprise of my life.
And we started a second family.

And my oldest daughter started hers and
moved in with us.

So now we're just one big happy family.

Well, I'm happy.

Good morning, John.

Good morning.

Oh, look.

Oh, my God.

Today's the day.

I know.

The day I've been looking forward to for
three months.

I'm going back to work. I'm going back
to work. How can you like this idea?

Because I want to work. We need the
money. But how's Robert going to take

mean, Robert's going to just love it.

He's leaving his mother and going off to
slug it out with other kids. You get

your son. I'm going to get breakfast.

Which one should Maggie wear for the
first day? The pink dress or the

Do you think Maggie's going to care?

Overalls. So in case some kid knocks her
down, she won't skin her knees.

I didn't think of that. All those
aggressive children.

Have you seen the way Maggie and Robert
play?

I think it's the other kids who ought to
be worried.

Margaret. What?

The camera.

We need to get a picture of Robert going
off to his first day at daycare.

I'll look for it, okay? Would you two
hurry up? You want them to be late their

first day?

Late? We don't want a reputation.

Are you excited?

Yeah. Are you excited?

Yeah.

They have no idea we're abandoning them.

Well, Mommy has to go back to work.

Oh, gee.

Margaret!

Margaret has to go back to work. I can't
believe I'm calling her mommy.

Can you believe that?

We should have gotten a roster on all
the parents. We could have called them.

Listen, I got that meeting this morning.
You stay here and make sure

everything's okay. If there's a problem,
you call me. I'll be right down.

Okay. You'll be waiting on the curve.

what today is uh it's monday it's
morning i'm vaguely aware of that you

remember what today is two years ago
today i pulled you over for running a

sign it's our anniversary oh you
remember this

good cop never forgets well you can
arrest me anytime

I did have something else in mind.

Will you marry me, Ann?

Got your badge on it.

She said yes.

How did you know?

The camera.

You check all the closets, make sure all
the fire exits are clear.

How do you know all this?

My kid goes here.

Are your kids twins?

No. No?

You're awfully close in age. Yeah.

Well, the little boy is my brother, and
the little girl is my daughter.

And the man is my stepfather.

And your mother is your sister.

I saw this movie.

So your husband couldn't come today,
huh?

You know, I really think it's dangerous
that you put your child on a motorcycle.

Tig is an experienced rider.

Well, how experienced can he be? He's a
child.

Have you ever ridden?

No.

No?

Oh, there is nothing like it.

You know, you should come with me
sometime, Mike.

Yeah, well, right now I've got to call a
cab and go to work.

I could take you right now. No, no,
thanks anyway.

You sure? Yeah. It's no trouble, really.
No, I'm fine.

No problem.

Boy, awfully expensive restaurant for
Nick and Ann to be taking us.

They have something to tell us.

I think I know what it is.

What?

I'm not going to tell you, in case I'm
wrong.

You know, I think I'm going to call
Mary. Robert got the sniffles at school

afternoon. Honey, it's just the
sniffles.

And Mary knows the number of the
restaurant.

I didn't see her car.

They should be... John!

Listen, Ann, please let me tell them. I
want to do this properly.

Fine. Fine.

Properly. Okay.

Mom. John, I'm sorry we're late.

Margaret.

John. Meg.

We have something that we'd like to tell
you both.

So much for doing it properly.

I knew it.

Congratulations. Thank you very much.

Oh, I have such wonderful wedding ideas.

Okay, yeah.

Mom, this is going to be small and
informal.

Just a few guests.

No, we want to have it in June.

In your backyard?

Just like yours and John's. Oh, June.

June.

That's only, what, 12 weeks?

Oh, Annie, Annie, this is your first
wedding with the family.

I want it to be so beautiful.

Now, the announcement, I think, should
be understated.

I'll write them.

And I see the day is just full of white
roses.

And a harp player.

A harp player?

We can still elope. And somewhere,
honey, a touch of teal.

What's teal?

Okay, I gotta go.

Okay, kisses.

Bye, boy.

Hey, why don't you come see what I've
made?

I don't buy it.

So, what do you think?

You like gel?

Yeah, they're nice.

So, did you, uh, think about my
proposition?

My bike.

Oh, the bike.

Um, yeah.

No, it wouldn't be right.

Lady, there is nothing more right than
that bike.

Come on. What? What are you doing?

I can't do this. Yes, you can. I've
never been on a bike.

Come on. Wait a minute. You are going to
love this. Check this out.

Scoured every courtyard in the city.
Built it from the ground up.

It's lovely.

Lovely? There ain't no hag rice burner,
you know. This is the classic.

There are 24 coats of hand -drug lacquer
on this gate. It's my lacquer. My

hands.

It's great.

Sit up.

No, I... Mind if the hand... Let us very
comfortable come with it.

Nine. No, I really have to go. Listen to
this.

You hear that?

How can you not? It's deafening.

You just don't get it, do you?

Get what?

I sat on it. It's a motorcycle. Can I go
now?

There's only one way to understand.

Wait a minute.

Wait a minute. Let me off. Let me off.

off with me like that well uh just ken
crawford well just

ken crawford the next time you feel like
hijacking a woman

say a long floor -length white formal.

Short dress, no veil.

And no tuxes either.

Yay, that's time.

Let's go.

Mommy will be up in a minute, sweet pea.

The only thing that's going to match
about the whole wedding is the tuxes and

the white dresses.

Margaret, I just got the pictures back
of Robert and Maggie. You've got to see

them.

I'm going to ask.

John?

I need a favor.

I know there's been a couple of times
you wanted to give me away.

Well, now's your chance.

Would you give me away at my wedding?

I'd be honored.

Thank you.

That is so sweet.

Mother, look at the pictures.

Oh, this wedding is going to be so
beautiful.

Especially if you listen to me about the
tuxes and the dress.

Oh. We have to call your brothers and
ask them if they will be in the wedding.

Yeah.

Excuse me.

Right.

Oh.

Can I help you?

You must be the new one.

I'm looking for Margaret.

Come here, baby.

You have grown into a beautiful woman.

What are you doing here, Richard?

I read the announcement.

My baby is getting married.

I know I haven't been much of a father
to Anne, but you could have mentioned

had one.

I'm very happy for you, sweetheart.

Wow. I can't believe it.

Richard... Dad?

This is my fiancé, Nick Lundgren.

Hello, sir.

You'd better take care of my little
girl.

You all right?

I'm sorry about the surprise, but I did
bring the bubbly.

I think we all need a drink to
celebrate.

Margaret, can I have some glasses?

I'll go.

Richard Becker.

John Hicks.

Young. House looks great.

Different color.

It's been over 20 years since you lived
here, Richard. We painted.

Well, it still feels like home.

I miss it.

What's this about?

I want to help with this wedding.

I've never done anything for our kid.

And now that some of my investments are
paying off, I want to help.

What was that? Is that okay, Mom?

He's my father.

That he is.

Here's to second chances.

Whoa,

whoa. Where are those glasses?

You want to tell me about it?

I was just thinking about the pen.

Ann.

Ann was little. She doesn't remember.

Remember what?

When Richard...

Dennis thought it was my fault.

Andrew thought of taking care of things
most little nine -year

-old boys don't have to even think
about.

Mary.

Poor little Mary wouldn't even let her
grandfather pick her up.

I used to cry myself to sleep every
night after the kids were in bed.

I don't know how I got up in the
morning.

Yeah, but you did.

Look, honey.

You have a lot to be proud of.

You've got a new life.

Robert, me.

It's all different.

Yeah, but... No, no, no. No yeah buts.

It is. It's different.

I'd love to stand up at your wedding.

But... As your future brother -in -law,
you have to let me throw the bachelor

party. Ah, you talked me into it. All
right.

You know, I hate to break up this locker
room chat, but one rule, Denny, no

women or any variation thereof at this
bachelor party.

What's a bachelor party without a
stripper or two?

Kind of like a broken arm without a
cast.

Ah, Anne.

Mom, would you tell Dennis that Nick
can't have a stripper at his bachelor

party?

Well, if they get one, we get one.

Mom, the lady from the wedding shop is
waiting out back.

It was so much easier eloping.

I'll get it.

You go make wedding plans.

Is this any way to treat your old man?

You may be old, but you're not much of a
man and you definitely don't belong to

me.

You have a right to be angry.

I understand.

I understand.

I understand this.

Denny, you could have let him in.

He doesn't belong here.

Look, I know it's weird, but maybe he
has changed.

People don't change, Mayor.

They just become more of themselves.

You can forgive him if you want.

Just don't forget.

He's still our father, Denny.

whether we like it or not.

Is your mother here?

We're going for a classical cake, an
ageless cake, tri -tiered with

What is the matter with chocolate?

Chocolate?

It's not a birthday cake.

It's decorum at weddings to have white
cake.

Anne, it's our wedding. Why can't we
have the cake I want?

Well, look, let's not lose it over the
cake, okay? We only have eight weeks. We

have to order this stuff.

Well, may I suggest the three -tiered
forever bliss selection? It's beautiful.

It says love.

And there's enough to send your guests
home with a piece.

Who's going to want to bring home white
cake?

Shut up.

Hello, everybody.

Oh. Hey, look. How are you?

Ignored.

How are you, honey?

Oh, I'm peachy.

Richard Becker.

Anne's father.

Beatrice Miller.

Hello, Richard.

Wedding cake.

Yes, this is the one. This is the one.
I'm Margaret. I'm voting for this.

Margaret, may I see you a moment?

Yeah, only with teal flowers.

Could we find some time together to talk
next week?

I'm going to be looking at houses.

You're going to buy a house here?

Well, I've decided to stay around the
family, you know, and I'm going to need

realtor.

Oh.

Have you picked a cake yet?

Yeah, um, I think we're going to go with
this one. Oh, it's beautiful.

Yeah, but does it express the breadth of
your love?

It's a cake.

I admit, it's small, but we're not
having a big wedding.

If you're not happy with the cake, get a
bigger one.

We're on a budget.

Well, let me buy the cake. Then she can
have whatever she wants.

How about chocolate?

Whatever you kids want. But make it
something to remember.

You only get married once.

To each other.

What about the flowers?

Yes. Oh, that's next.

All right. I thought cornflowers. I had
some fabulous ideas I was trying to talk

your wife into.

Ex -wife.

We did set a budget, Beatrice.

Let's at least listen to what she's got
to say, Margaret.

Unless you're absolutely stuck on all
these small things for Anne's wedding.

I'm not stuck.

Oh, may I?

Picture sprays of white roses and lilacs
everywhere.

Where do you see the quartet?

Why settle for a quartet? Why not a
quintet? What about... The heart.

No, I wouldn't do that, but I don't have
to talk to you. Listen, let me make it

up to you, okay? How about I cook you
dinner?

What are you afraid of?

Are you afraid of me?

You're cooking.

Oh, yeah? I happen to be a gourmet cook,
you know? Julia Childs and me, we're

just like this.

I'm sure.

Well, you'll never know until you try
it, will you? Are you going to harass me

every time I drop off the kid?

Until you say yeah.

If I don't like it, I'm walking.

Richard, stop it.

You always had a hard time taking a
compliment.

Well, we're not here to pay compliments.
We're here to look at houses.

Um, it's a big place.

Well, there's room in case Andrew comes
up with the girls.

You know, big backyard.

It's a great pool.

I want to have huge barbecues during the
summers.

You did look at the price.

Oh, I can swing it.

I owe it to you.

Especially for letting me help out with
the wedding.

You know, you and Ann have made me feel
like a real member of the family.

It means a lot.

You are her father.

You raised good kids.

You have a lot to be proud of.

It wasn't easy.

I'm sure.

You should be.

You missed the best parts of your kids'
lives.

Um, why don't you just think about the
house?

Or we can see others if you like.

Right now I have to get over to
Beatrice's. I'm meeting Nick and Ann.

Oh, good. I'll follow you.

Two weeks ago, it was a simple dress.

Now you want this overpriced, plunging
neckline, Mardi Gras costume.

This gown makes a statement.

Yeah. I owe you.

I mean, and it would be a whole lot
different if you could ever wear it

I'll be buried in it, okay?

Look, I've never been married in a
wedding dress. I want to do this right.

Then this dress is exactly what you
need.

You are becoming the enemy, Beatrice.

Well, if it isn't the happy couple.

Beatrice? Something the matter?

You got your way. She wants a formal
dress.

Oh, great!

This one.

Did you see the price?

The price can't reflect on a gown that's
a timeless classic.

Yeah, a 57 Roadster is a timeless
classic, and she's not getting married

of those either.

Kids, please, this is no way to start
things off. Marriage is tough enough.

You want the dress?

Yeah. Yes.

We'll take the dress.

Mr. Becker. And I carry a complete line
of accessories perfect for this gown.

Richard, this isn't necessary.

We can make a compromise, right, Anne?

Mom. Margaret, I am her father.

I haven't done anything for her in
years.

Please, let me.

Father knows best.

You have fine taste, sir.

No, my daughter has fine taste. I have a
gold card.

Uh -huh.

Black ducks.

Definitely. Big time.

I'll admit that was very good.

Eh?

You have to talk to me.

You have a hard time with that, don't
you?

Well, I'm not used to dating.

No, after you've been off the market for
a while, it's kind of tough.

Yeah.

I've never really been on the market.

I was in a religious order for eight
years.

What about Maggie?

Well, I wanted a baby.

And so... Maggie's father was... willing
to accommodate?

Oh, well, that's, uh... That's, uh...
It's understandable.

I guess.

Listen, I'm gonna be right back. I just
gotta...

Busted. I don't believe you.

Well, don't get mad. You know, I...
Look, I didn't get home in time to stoke

stove, so I...

Nick, you're not inviting all your cop
buddies, are you?

It's a tradition at the station. Look,
guys, we must cut 40 people off this

and get these invitations in the mail by
Friday. Now we have one month.

I mean, we're never going to get all
these people into the backyard.

What's going on?

We're cutting the invitations list.

Any thoughts?

Yeah. It's kind of up to Nick and Ann.

Thank you, John.

Glad to see somebody recognizes the fact
that I'm involved here.

What about... What about Uncle Del and
Aunt Dottie? They won't come, anybody.

Oh, they never come, but they send great
gifts. We should leave them.

Give me just a second.

Hold it.

John?

Yeah?

I need a big favor.

Sure.

Well, my dad's back.

He is?

I wondered who that guy was hanging out
in the dining room.

Yeah, yeah.

Well, with my dad back and paying for
part of the wedding, I

thought maybe he should give me away at
the wedding.

Not that I'm not aware of everything
you've done for me.

Thanks for understanding

Don't

Margaret he is her father I just don't
like him hanging out at our house.

He's involved in this wedding.

Yeah, and if not the wedding, you're
showing him houses.

Oh, John.

Ever since the baby came, it seems like
you and I just never have time to be

together.

And now this wedding.

I think you and I should find some time
to... Margaret.

We need you back in there.

Pronto.

Pronto.

You're dating a biker?

Oh, Ann, he's not a biker.

I mean, he has a motorcycle, but he also
has a child.

Well, he's probably got dozens more
across the country.

You want me to have Nick run a check on
him? No.

He could be a Hell's Angel or Juanita in
Arizona for bank robbery. You never

know.

Have you met his gang?

Gang?

All bikers have gangs. God, you're
sticking me. Oh, yeah.

Yeah, don't let him get you alone with
his gang.

Why? The initiation.

You're going to be chugging beer and
swapping spit with guys named Mongo and

Nick.

And he doesn't have a gang.

He's a construction worker and he has a
son.

Fine, fine. Don't say I didn't warn you.

So, did you do it?

No, we didn't do it.

It's only a matter of time.

hell of a pitch, Tom.

Yes, yes it was. For an old guy.

What? Yeah.

For an old guy? For an old guy. Listen,
man, I went three for three. You know

what that means? Three for three. Not
only that, four RBIs.

You batted three times, I know that.
Sonny! We're home.

You should have been there. We blew them
away.

I'm in the kitchen, dear.

What are you doing here?

I'm feeding the kids. Where's Margaret?

Well, the girls wanted to try on the
dresses for the wedding.

Margaret's showing a hound.

So I said I'd stay with the kids so they
could take their time.

Mother must be losing her mind.

You couldn't take care of your own kids.

Thanks. I'll take over.

Everything's under control.

Cocktails with the kids.

Put a little in their cereal, they take
good naps.

Drinking while you're alone with the
children? I raised four kids, John.

no problem.

You raised four kids?

You got another family I don't know
about?

I changed plenty of your dirty diapers.

Yeah, and then you took a 22 -year
vacation.

Glad you're back after your rest.

You can go back to wherever you're
staying. I'll watch the children now.

John, my patience is very thin.

I'm not in competition with you.

I want you to know that. I want you to
know something. I know what your game

and it's not going to work. Now find the
door and use it.

I'm Mary's mother. Hi. Hi. I'm Ken.

Could you tell Mary I'm here?

I think she heard you.

Hi.

This is my mom. And you met John.

Yeah.

Listen.

I got you a little gift.

Great.

Isn't this great?

Great. In lieu of flowers.

She gets a tattoo, I'm killing myself.

Dad's staying in the next place.

Nathan Pricey, don't you think?

Excuse me. I'm Margaret Hicks. We're
meeting Richard Becker for lunch.

Mrs. Hicks, correct.

Walk this way.

I can't walk that way.

Cry, dear.

a mistake.

There's no mistake.

What do you think? Is this a great place
for a reception?

A reception here?

And I found a great chapel.

I booked them both.

Wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a
minute. We're having the wedding and the

reception in the backyard.

Well, you were saying that there wasn't
enough room for everybody. So this way

we can invite all your friends.

Now, picture a band there, a dance floor
here.

cake over there, and a sit -down dinner
for all your guests.

It would be unbelievable.

Richard, this is just a bit much. And
when they announce, will the parents of

the bride please join the newlyweds for
a dance, we can show them how it used to

be done.

We have to get lunch. We have a lot of
things to do.

Your mother's right.

What, here?

Why not?

Thank you for bringing me home.

I think we got a lot accomplished.

I'm having the best time with you and
Anne.

It really takes me back.

Well, it's making Anne very happy.

What about you?

Me?

I'm very glad you're a part of this,
Richard.

I'm very glad you're taking some
responsibility.

It means a lot to me to do this for Ann.

Say, have you got time to have a drink
with me?

I can't do that, Richard.

Not even to celebrate your sale of the
house?

Are you going to buy the house?

But that's wonderful.

I just... I just know you're going to be
very happy.

We'll always have that spark.

I'll come by your office tomorrow to
fill out the papers.

So you really want to meet my father?

What?

I thought all daughters were supposed to
be in love with their fathers.

He walked out on us when I was eight.

Explained a lot.

Not why I entered the convent, if that's
what you're thinking.

I meant why you have such a hard time
trusting other people.

I think I trust other people probably
more than I should.

I'm falling for you, Mary.

Yeah, right.

See what I mean?

What?

It's not that I don't trust you, Karen.

I don't know what I'm feeling.

This is, um... I'm not used to this.

I don't want to scare you.

And I don't want to disappoint you.

I'm not disappointed.

See, the way you look at me, I feel
special.

You are.

Okay.

Take this as slow as you want.

I'm blind.

You are going to get it.

Concentrate, Annie. You can do it.

Okay, wait. Wait. Hang on.

Wait. Good. Hold it.

Hold it. Wait a minute. Wait. Okay.

Not big enough.

Now we were using our mouths.

Oh, could you say that again, Mrs.
Hicks? I want to write down every funny

that's said for Ann's memory book.

Don't sweat it, Trish. I'll remember.

I guess you win the orange path.

I should have won.

Well, maybe you'll win the clothespin
drop or the name the baby game.

The clothespin drop. No, wait. The pasta
shell game and then the cotton ball

scoop.

Where did you get these games?

Well, honey, we used to play these at
bridal showers all the time.

Okay.

Everybody's bored.

No. Am I wrong?

No. Okay. I did something that I swore I
would never do.

I called the police.

You did?

Yeah. Called the police.

He wants to open his gifts now. Huh?
Yeah!

Open mine first.

Hey!

Anybody home?

I thought there was a party here.

Huh?

Hey! Hello, Mr. Becker. Nicholas!

I know my son didn't invite me to your
party, but I didn't want this time

-honored tradition to go...

divinity. Nicholas, these girls will do
anything you want, and they have some

doubt. Have you girls been paid for your
services?

Hey, John, they're not for you.

Yeah, but we usually get a tip,
regardless.

Great. Go buy your mother a card. Let's
go. I paid good money for them.

You bring two hookers into my home for
the guy who's marrying your daughter?

You're sick.

You should do something about your
bitterness, Denny.

Well, I'll do something about it.

Not the time or the place.

Why don't you help Nick with his gifts?

I don't have to take this from my own
son. Yeah, well, then get the hell out.

Fine.

My own son doesn't want me in his home.
Fine.

He hates me.

My own son hates me.

My own son...

You do remember the wedding's not at the
house.

Okay.

See you then.

Margaret Hicks.

Insufficient funds.

Well, I think there must be...

Could you give me time to find... Yes,
of course, I understand.

Oh, yes.

What? Oh.

His escrow check bounced.

Richard's?

Oh, I can't believe I fell for this
again.

Well, you gave him the benefit of the
doubt.

be too much benefit. Where are your car
keys?

On the table. Come on.

Get it?

Well, nothing was paid for.

What do you mean, nothing?

The dress, the flowers, the cake? Your
husband's credit card was over its

That's not helping.

Whatever. I called him and got... Boing,
boing, boing.

Uh, what happens if we give you a check
now?

A good one.

Too late. I had another girl who loved
the gowns, so I sold it to her.

I cancelled the flowers and cake.

Yes, hello. I'm checking on the Becker
London... Reception. Reception.

On the 11th.

I see. Thank you very much.

Canceled.

Two weeks before the wedding. That's
just going to kill him.

And when I get through with Richard,
he's going to wish he were dead.

I want to see that adorable grandchild
of mine. Dad, I think you've had too

to drink tonight.

I was celebrating with my daughter. I
know, but I think you should come in

and have some coffee and maybe sleep on
the couch.

No, no, no, no. He doesn't like me. Who?

Margaret's new husband. Oh, no. You are
such a good girl. Oh, Dad.

I want to see my granddaughter. Okay,
well, we just have to be a little quiet.

want to see her.

Oh, great.

Where is my granddaughter? I want to see
her. I want to see her because she's

not...

So let me go up and check. You know that
you have turned into a lovely young

lady. Thank you, Dad.

Do you want some coffee? No, I... I'll
get some coffee, but let me check and

I'll get her. Bring her to me. I'll
bring her. Bring her down.

Dad's downstairs. He's drunk and he
wants to see Maggie.

Richard's downstairs?

Where is my gorgeous little
granddaughter?

Babies are asleep. Now you leave them
be.

I want to talk to you. You wait for me
downstairs.

Oh, I know that tone.

I am in trouble again.

I just want to see my granddaughter.

Dad, please.

Richard, down there.

Down there.

Oh, God. John's in the study working. I
hope he doesn't hear Richard. He's

already furious with me. Why?

Oh, don't you worry about that. It's
just...

Dad?

Richard!

Richard. Oh, my Lord.

Call 411.

Yeah, no.

Not 411. That's information.

9 -9 -1 -1. 9 -1 -1. Shh, shh, shh.
Thank you. Get an ice pack. Okay, we

where we are. We know where we are. I
forgot it. Margaret, Margaret, Margaret.

You may not need the ice pack.

He was never the best father.

I don't know what you've got.

I want to be sad that he just came back
into our life and now he's gone, but all

I feel is this.

It's all right to be angry.

Yeah, but why? Why am I so mad at him?

The guy walked out on you.

And was never there.

Loving somebody that you don't think
loves you back, that hurts.

You know, you've got a right to be
angry.

stay here tonight.

I mean, I just want to be held and
that's all.

If that's what you need, I'm your man.

Andrew. Hi, baby.

Oh.

Come on.

Andrew. I'm glad you got into this.

He was my dad.

I loved him.

He was like the little brother I never
had.

Hey.

Andrew.

Where are the girls?

Oh, they're staying with friends.

Dad sent them some plane tickets for the
wedding.

They're bouncing all the way here.

The tickets weren't paid for either?

Either?

Oh, never mind. Nothing.

Say hello to your sister. They're not
taking this too well.

Annie, how you doing?

Um, when are we going to tell Ann?

Let's bury Richard first.

I can't believe that on top of
everything else, now we're paying for

funeral.

It's just like him, isn't it?

He's where he wants to be.

But we have to climb up to him.

You know, Dad always did want to have
the laugh laugh.

Come on now, it's just a hill.

Whoa, whoa.

Muddy hill.

You guys want to help your sisters?

Whoa.

And take your time about it. It's not
like he's going anywhere.

Are you okay?

Yeah.

Oh, geez.

All right.

Careful.

For each of us begins as dust, and to
the earth we all must return.

But as the human body is interred in the
earth, resting

there for eternity,

Our souls rest with God in his eternal
light. Amen.

Amen.

Since I was not a friend of Richard's, I
always asked the eldest son if he would

come up and say a few words on behalf of
the family.

You do it. Say something.

I'm not the oldest. You're the oldest.

Come on, Denny.

Go on.

My father wanted more than anything to
be loved.

But he was very afraid of being loved
because it meant committing to someone.

So if there's anything that we can learn
from Richard Becker, it's that

we need to love.

people deserve it.

Not because we want them to love us.

To conclude our service today, I would
ask a member of the family to come and

place a rose on the casket before we
inter -Richard's body to the ground.

Should we tell her now, do you think?
Yes, let's do.

Yeah. You know, I think she's going to
take it just fine.

I mean, she didn't even want a big
wedding in the first place. True, she

really want the big dress or the cake.

Only after Richard talked her into all
that stuff did she finally agree.

No.

I think our little Annie's going to take
this news just fine.

Here we go.

Oh, thank you, Mom.

Don't worry, I'll still fit in the
wedding dress.

Um, we need to talk about the dress.

Don't tell me they're not going to have
it ready.

Richard didn't pay for the dress.

Oh, no.

Well, don't worry.

Nick and I'll figure some way to pay it
off.

Oh, no, honey, you don't understand.
When he didn't pay for the dress, they

it.

They sold my dress?

He didn't pay for anything.

His checks all bounced.

His credit card was no good.

Yeah, we can still pull this thing
together.

Yeah, I mean, it may not be exactly what
you wanted, but it can still be

terrific. It'll take some work, but
we've got ten days.

I'll just start making some calls.

I can't do this.

Oh, yes, it'll be a busy week and a
half, but we can do it.

I can't call all those people. I can't
look for another address.

I just, I can't do it.

Ann, it's okay.

No, I've been through this twice before.
I can't go into this marriage wrong.

Look, honey, what choice do we have?

I love you.

But I will not marry you feeling this.

I want one.

That's it. I want one.

You like that. I told you. Yes, Mom and
Jen are going to lose it, but I don't

care. I have to have one.

I could get you a basket case and fix it
up.

Really? Yeah.

I mean, you don't need a hog as big as
mine, but I bet you we can get you one

for next to nothing.

That was better than the motorcycle.

I love you, Mary.

You want to go inside?

Let me tell you, I think I'm going to
listen to what you have to say.

That's all we have.

Yeah.

Nick, what are you doing here?

I called him.

Oh. Now listen to me.

You walk away from Nick.

You're letting your ex -husbands and
your father make a decision for you.

That's not it.

Yeah, it is, honey.

You can't tell me you don't love Nick.

The only retaliation you have is your
own happiness.

Oh, honey, you don't want to throw that
away.

never failed me, Ann.

And I didn't put this ring on your
finger because I had any doubts about

through for you.

I don't care how or where we get married
or who's there or what we're wearing.

All I want is you.

We only have seven days

if we're going to pull a wedding
together.

It's up to you.

I love you.

I love you.

I think that's yes.

Yeah,

I know there's a penalty just transfer
the money to my checking account today

Yes

I know it's my IRA, but we need the
money for Anne's wedding.

Yeah, just cash it in and I'll pick up
the money tomorrow, okay?

Thanks.

This is the perfect bell.

I'd say you're, uh, gifted.

They look great.

Oh, thank you.

Now remember, we got the table and
chairs, too.

Why don't you flip on the tape?

Danny!

It's white, pink, white. White pink
wasn't fine. No.

One for you.

He just pulled it off.

Ken who the hell are you?

Mary Mary

Who are you

Francine

Ken's wife

Ken's wife

I'd show you the ring, but I hocked it
years ago.

I don't believe this.

Look, if Ken didn't tell you about me,
then jump his case.

Now, if you don't mind, I was right in
the middle of a nap.

and the flowers will be here tomorrow
morning.

We are almost finished.

Yeah,

I just have to find that stupid
screwdriver.

Who said you could see the bride before
the wedding?

It's not our wedding day yet.

22 hours and 36 minutes.

Are you going to do this to me all day
long?

Get out the shotgun, Ma.

We may have to keep him here overnight
to make sure he don't run.

Hey, I've been through this.

Twice. Nothing scares me.

Oh, don't let that veneer fool you.

She's nervous, too.

I think it's in the bottom drawer. She's
been over the wedding list a hundred

times. Something smells good.

Chocolate cake.

From scratch.

You made me a cake.

I made a wedding cake.

You wanted chocolate, you get chocolate.

Oh, well, I guess this marriage stuff
might not be too bad after all.

Well, don't count on seeing Betty
Crocker too often. She goes back in the

after this.

I love you. Oh.

35 minutes.

Nick.

I don't know how we did this, but we got
everything covered.

Except who you'll be dancing with.

All right, enough, Ann, or you'll be
walking down the aisle with a limp

tomorrow. You should return this call.

Ann, leave her alone.

Mom, I can handle it.

Well, you better be able to, because,
hark, I hear a hog.

Did you call him?

You know, much as it killed me not to, I
was just too busy.

I have a feeling this guy will come on
his own.

Get out of here. No, not until you hear
me out. What were you going to do, Ken?

Tell me it slipped your mind you were
married? Look, I haven't seen Francine

over two years. That is no excuse. You
lied to me. No, no, I did not.

Look, I didn't tell you about Francine
at first because... because it just

didn't matter.

Then when I fell for you... I got afraid
that you would be scared

off.

I'm not afraid of the truth, Ken.

Yeah, well, you're not exactly the same
Mary I met three months ago, you know?

I mean, don't get me wrong, I like that
one.

But I love this one.

I tracked Francine down to sign divorce
papers because I would like to be free

to follow what I feel for you.

You mean it?

Can you handle me?

You can handle me.

Got you something.

Love it.

Do you love it?

Do you love it?

Uh -huh. Love it.

Hop on.

You can't get on that motorcycle in your
dress.

Now

I've

seen it all.

We did it.

You guys better go ahead and start
getting ready.

You're beautiful.

Oh, honey, thank you for all your work.

You'd do it for us, Mom. Yes.

Andrew.

I'll pick you girls up at the airport.

Okay. Be careful. Drive carefully.

Joe.

I know that you cashed in part of your
savings to make this happen for Ann.

I think that was a very sweet sacrifice
for her and for me.

For us, Margaret.

For us.

You know, we got married right here.

Yeah.

That was quite a week, too.

But we got through it.

I've never been happier about anything
in my whole life.

I, Margaret, take you, John, for my
husband.

I happen to hold.

For richer, for poorer.

You may kiss the bride.

Oh, I love you, Mr. Hicks.

I love you, Mrs. Hicks.

Hey, how are you?

So good to see you. Great.

Mom is around the back. Say hi.

Back there shortly.

Andrew and the girls haven't arrived
yet.

Ah, well, I'll keep an eye out for them.

Okay. Mom.

You know, next to my own kids, there's
nobody I'd rather have call me that.

I'll see you any soon.

Say hi.

Oh, yeah.

Well, hey, how you doing? See you again.

Yep.

You're shaking.

Well, I mean, you have to relax.

You're never going to live through this.

Yeah, well.

How are things here? We're ready.

I forgot the most important thing. I
need someone to walk me down the aisle.

Would you honor me?

If I had a daughter, I'd want her to be
just like you.

Well, you do have a daughter.

Two of them.

And three sons.

stuck with us.

You're going to make my mascara run.

Grandma, Grandpa, we made it. Dirty. I
didn't mean we were nervous. Where have

you been? The flight was delayed.

Oh.

Well, your dresses were up there, but I
hope they fit. You know what? We're

going to have to curl your hair and fix
the jersey.

Can we see Robert and Maggie first?

I want to see Officer Nick in his new
tuxedo. I bet he looks awesome.

Get upstairs.

Get upstairs. We've got a wedding.

This is a blessed, beautiful day.

Perfect for a wedding.

Could we just skip to the questions?
Because if I faint, I want to know I got

the important stuff.

All right.

Face each other.

Let's see what you can. A little tighter
there.

Yep, that looks good. You ready?

And cut the... Here we go.

All right. Now let's have a little kiss.

How about one of these? How about one of
these? Hold it right there.

Oh, that looks great. All right.

Now we need everyone from Ann's family
in here. Oh, hello, everybody.

Mary, bring Ken and Tig over for the
picture.

Come take a picture with us.

It's your family. No, come on.

Come on, buddy. Let's go for a ride.

Let's see if we can get everybody in
here. Come on in, the kids.

Everybody just squeeze in there wherever
you can. Just move right in. That's

great. Great. Okay.

Okay. All right. Everybody ready here?

We're going to have to rent chairs to
the dining room table.

Holidays are going to be perfect.

And ready?

All right. And everybody say family.

Family.
