- Hello?
- Francine.

You don't see me calling you?

Sorry, mom, I'm
just running a few errands

before heading back to work.

All right, well
listen you do remember

that my friend, Georgina,

her son's coming to meet with you today.

- Her son?
- The contractor.

Oh, yes, I remember.

Jayden?

- His name is Jaylen.
- Uh.

Jaylen, got it.

All right, oh, oh, listen.

Remember that we are
trimming the tree tonight.

Of course, mama, I may have to work

a little late, but I'll be there.

Sweetheart, you know what?
I am so worried about you.

You know, this job has
got you going non-stop.

No need to worry, mama, I'm doing fine.

I gotta go. And see you later,
okay? I love you.

I love you more.

- Afternoon.
- Hi, boss.

- I'll take those.
- Thank you, Tia. Renee.

Don't forget to send me
those fabric samples.

- They were due yesterday.
- On top of it.

Hey, boss, check this out.

Oh, I like that color.

Ooh, things are heavy.

Heavy usually means expensive.

Is my gifts in here?

You gotta wait till Christmas to see.

See if you can reschedule
our meeting with Roger.

I gotta have a family dinner tonight.

- Will do.
- And did we get the itinerary

- for the Milan photo shoot?
- Right here.

Okay. What are those?

Oh, these? I just got these done today.

Dasher, Dancer, Prancer,
Vixen, Comet, Cupid, Donner,

Blitzen, Rudolph... and Jamal.

- Jamal?!
- Jamal, girl!

Guy is new, just met him. Long story.

- Tia.
- Yeah.

You told me you were running late

because of a doctor's appointment.

Not a nail appointment.

Oh, I did both.

And don't forget to call your boo.

- Oh, and he sent you those.
- Ooh.

Excuse me.

- Excuse me, are you Fancy?
- I'm Francine.

Okay, sorry about that.

- Jaylen Harris.
- I'm her assistant, Tia, hi.

- Oh, nice nails.
- Oh, thank you.

Dasher, Dancer, Prancer,
Vixen, Comet, Cupid...

Tia?

- Yes?
- Thank you.

Happy holidays, Jaylen.

- Well, nice to meet you.
- Likewise.

So I guess our mothers are friends.

Friends and old spades partners.

I didn't think both were possible.

Uh, so, uh, I hear you wanna
make your home

more accessible to the visually impaired.

Yes, it's actually my mom's home.

I've recently moved in with her

because she has macular degeneration

and she's starting to lose her vision.

- Oh, I'm sorry to hear that.
- Thank you.

I mean, along with being
a fantastic spades player,

she's also an incredible artist.

So you can only imagine
how difficult it's been.

Oh, my bad.

But you got the right guy
because I have some ideas.

Fancy, have you even heard from Lyla?

I have been trying to get
in touch with Ms. Boss Lady

- all week. Hmm.
- Germaine.

I'm in the middle of a meeting.

Oh. I am so sorry.

But for real though, we need
these ad images approved.

We've already missed
two publication deadlines.

I spoke to her yesterday

and she told me to approve them.

You? Really?

Ah...

My apologies.
Can you give me one second?

No problem.

Germaine, the images are so dark.

Lyla's brand is supposed
to be lively and bright.

- Yeah.
- Hello?

- Can they lighten them up a bit?
- Mm-hmm.

Darker in my thoughts exactly.

I'll get these over to editorial.

- Happy holidays. Mm.
- Same to you.

- I am so sorry.
- It-it is okay.

- Unbelievable.
- I-I promise.

Boss, Gigi, needs you in the fitting.

And Lyla mentioned she wants

the Holly A-line dress in fuchsia,

but we haven't got confirmation
on which fuchsia just yet.

Is there actually more than one fuchsia?

Yes. There's-there's the deep fuchsia.

There's a French fuchsia.

There's an antique fuchsia.

- There's a rose fuchsia.
- And there's fire fuchsia.

- I will be right back.
- Okay.

Tia, how may times
do I have to tell you

Phew. That took forever.

I hope we didn't keep Jaylen
waiting too long.

Yeah, me too.

Just like my granny would always say.

"Shantia, a man will disappear quicker

than a free sample at Costco!"

I always forget your name is Shantia.

Hey. At least he left his number

7-7-3-5...

Excuse you. Wow.

At least let me write it down.

Hi, ladies.

- Hi, Lyla.
- Hi, Lyla.

Oh, ladies.

Meet Buhle.

- Hi, Buhle.
- Hi, Buhle.

Listen, I know you're enjoying

your time in South Africa.

But while I have you,

there are quite a few things

I need to catch you up.

Oh, Fancy darling.

Can you just put it all in the email?

Sure. Sure.

I'll be back in the cold on Monday.

Ooh.

Thank you, Fancy, for always
keeping things running.

Kiss, kiss. Ooh.

Bye, Lyla.

So... she expects you to
do your work and hers,

while she over there gets lit
with Prince Akeem?

- That's Lyla.
- Look.

I know you rarely ask for my opinion.

- But...
- And yet, you always give it.

Boss, when are you gonna let
go of the superwoman cape?

I know it's getting
a little tighter on the neck.

As black woman in this industry,

unfortunately, we don't have that luxury.

Besides, only we can wear
the cape and make it fashion.

I really admire that about you, boss.

- Hmm.
- I guess I just wish

the people around you appreciated

all that you do for them,

because you do a lot.

Thank you.

You're welcome, boss.

Who is blocking the driveway?

Hey, baby.

- Hey, babe.
- I got the flowers.

They are so beautiful.

You know I'm making your fave tonight.

My famous "Marry Me" chicken.

Babe, I'm not gonna make it tonight.

Why not?

We haven't seen each other in days.

Yeah, I know, but it's, uh,
I forgot it's my boss's birthday

and he's takin'
a whole team out for drinks

and I'm gonna get
this senior VP position.

This is the moment where
schmoozing comes into play.

Come on, Richard, it's the holidays.

People are spendin' time
with their loved ones

and everybody's excited to see you.

Look, um, maybe I can leave a little early.

You know what? It's okay.

I know how much
the promotion means to you

and I don't wanna get in the way in that.

I just missed you.

Yeah, babe, you know what?
I miss you too.

I gotta go. Love you.

Love you too.

Oh!

Oh, my God.

First you ghost me at your office,

then you trash my truck.

Oh, please, I'm surprised

that tank didn't damage my car.

Tank? This is my work truck.

- How professional of you...
- Fancy.

- Yes, ma.
- Hey, what's going on out there?

I slightly tapped Jaylen's tank.

Because she was texting and driving.

Uh, I was actually parked.

Uh... Okay, at least I thought I was.

Fancy, how many times have I told you

- about the doggone phone?
- Snitch.

Listen, it's cold out here.
Y'all coming in the house.

I don't want these nosy neighbors

all up in my business.

All right, ma.

- Mm.
- Let me help you with those.

Thank you, Jaylen.

I'm sorry to keep you waiting earlier.

Well, I appreciate you
tracking me down for an apology.

I can track you down, okay? I live here.

The better question is,
what are you doing here?

To tell my mom on me?

Actually, your mother called me.

The faucet is leaking.

She may not see the way she used to,

but those ears don't miss a thing.

- Wow, this is impressive.
- Thank you.

- Did you paint this?
- Mm-hmm, I did.

It was my late husband, Walt.

Originally, it was supposed
to be a nude portrait,

but he insisted that I cover him up.

- And his daughter thanks you.
- Oh.

- Whoa, whoa, whoa. I got you.
- Careful, ma.

Well, you know,
these damn floor boards.

I-I can't believe I keep doing this

after I've been in his house for so long.

Mama, we just need to
make a few adjustments,

so it's easier for you to
move around, that's all.

Well, since you've spoken
to Fancy, when can you start?

Well, how long have
you lived in this house?

Actually, it was
my husband's childhood home,

so it's been a while.

Okay, well, I can fix the faucet tonight,

start on the accessibility
upgrades tomorrow,

but from the looks of it,
this house still has

its original plumbing,
which may need to be replaced.

So, is this how
you up charge your clients,

just by looking around?

No, I'm just one of those people

who likes to get the work done,

without keeping people waiting.

I'm sure you understand that.

Uh, uh... So, uh,
how-how much will it cost?

I will get back to you on that,

but the leak is on the house.

Only if you agree to join us

for our family's tree trimming
Christmas dinner tonight.

Miss Evelyn,
what kind of man would I be

to turn down a plate
of your home cooking?

Oh, no, no, no, no, no.

I'm not the cooking type, but you see

my-my Fancy, she's a chef around here.

Oh.

Just like the dinner, these desserts

look almost too pretty to eat.

And that little Black Santa
you added to the tree?

- So cute, sis!
- Thank you, sis.

I found it while I was finishing up

my Christmas shopping today.

You would be already finished
your Christmas shopping.

Yeah, you're making the
parents in the room look bad.

Malik, please
do not compare yourself

to my sister, she is not human.

Oh, yeah? And why is that?

She's always been a super big sister.

You know, she was in the delivery room

when I gave birth to Kaiya,

and not just because I needed her.

But because I needed her too.

Sure did.

She designed my wedding dress,

and she even made
Belle and I's prom dresses.

You remember that, Belle?

Mm, yeah, and they weren't just dresses.

They were stunning,
couture-level gowns.

People thought we
flew them in from Paris.

Wow. I could only imagine
what you wore to prom.

I actually didn't go to prom.

Sorry, it's work, be right back.

Mom, are you still gonna draw

gingerbread houses with Kaiya and I?

Oh, of course I am.

But you know, you might have to help

grammy a little bit more this year,

because her eyes ain't
what they used to be.

Sorry, y'all, I would get
rid of the phone if I could.

And why can't you?

Well, you know, back in my day,

when you didn't wanna talk to somebody,

you just didn't open the door.

Now, now you can call, you can text,

- you can face chat.
- FaceTime.

Whatever.

Fancy, you just gotta
learn how to set boundaries.

I just turned my phone off
whenever I wanna be present.

Oh, I'm very present.

So, Jaylen,

can you tell us a little bit
more about yourself?

She wants to know if you're single.

- Well, I am divorced.
- Mmm.

A little over a year now.

Mm, sorry to hear that.

- Are you dating? What?
- Now, baby.

I swear she's a matchmaker.

Shut up, because if it wasn't for me

telling you about the engineer
I met at Whole Foods,

you wouldn't be sitting
next to your fiancé right now

with that big rock on your finger.

All five carats...

Okay, am I the only single
person in the room or what?

Well, I have a boyfriend, so, yes.

Where's my boy, Richard?

He wanted to be here,
but he had to work event, so.

- Surprise, surprise.
- What does he do again?

Well, who cares?

We are just happy to
have you here, Jaylen.

- Mama.
- Okay, okay.

And on that note,
I would like to raise a glass

and thank you all for
welcoming me into your home

and to the newly engaged couple,
Anthony and Belle.

- Congratulations.
- Congratulations, sis.

And with that,

we have a special
announcement we wanna make.

Oh, what? Kaiya's getting a cousin?

Slow down.

Belle and I have decided
on the date for the wedding.

We've decided to follow
the Ballentine family tradition

and get married on Christmas Eve.

- Yeah.
- Wow.

Yes, it is another family tradition

that every Ballentine
woman gets married

right here on Christmas Eve.

Okay, so we're gonna have
a lovely Christmas wedding

next year.

- Actually...
- Actually...

We don't wanna wait that long.

Yeah, what's the point
in waiting when, you know?

Are you saying this Christmas Eve

- as in three weeks from now?
- I am.

And you and Fancy are
gonna be my wedding planners.

- Wait, who and who?
- Who and who?

Belle, it takes a,

- a year to plan a wedding.
- Exactly.

And I-I don't want to throw
a wrench into your plans,

but it's gonna take me
more than a month

to get the plumbing and everything fixed.

Belle, did you even think this through?

I just don't think that's a good idea.

- Me neither, Belle.
- Fancy.

Will you just stop?!

Stop that fussing.

Listen, Belle and I have talked about this.

As she knows that this might
be the last Christmas

that I'll be able to see her
in her wedding dress.

That's why she wanted to do this.

And as much your
father would've wanted to.

It's okay, mama.

Hmm.

I guess the plumbing will have to wait

until after the wedding...

Are you serious?

Oh, big, big...

Okay, let's do it.

Okay, now, do you, young ladies,

remember what your father's
favorite Christmas song was?

♪ Silent night

♪ Holy night ♪

♪ All is calm ♪

♪ All is bright ♪

♪ Round yon Virgin

♪ Mother and child ♪

♪ Holy infant ♪

♪ So tender and mild ♪

♪ Sleep in

♪ Heavenly peace

Yeah.

♪ Sleep in ♪

♪ Heavenly peace ♪

Oh, my God!

Ooh, thank God, Kaiya's asleep.

- What y'all talking about?
- My wedding dress.

- Is that mama's dress?
- Yes.

I mean, it's a pretty dress.

It's just so... mature.

Mm, I can alter it.

You know, Nona Ballentine
made mama's wedding gown.

And she was an angel,
but I still have my own style.

Just try it on, girl.

Uh-uh, look at you.

Why are you cheesing? What's up?

Well, you know, seeing
mom's dress reminds me

how nonna inspired me.

There's something so beautiful

about designing a wedding dress.

Well, how's it different from the dresses

you've designed at work?

It feels more personal.

I mean, you get to be
a part of making someone feel

like the most beautiful
version of themselves

on the most special day of their life.

Well, what's up with you and Jaylen?

Oh, that was out of nowhere.

Well, Malik is like Jaylen.

And he is fine as hell.

And presumptuous as hell, too.

Trying to tell me how to be present.

He don't know me like that.

Which is exactly why
I think you and Jaylen

would make a great match.

- What?
- Yes.

Richard and I have
been together for years.

We're great together, Deena.

I mean, when is the last time
he took you on a decent date?

And when's the last time
Belle paid a bill on time?

I heard that. Good.

Listen, we just wish
Richard was more present.

And I wish my sisters would believe me

when I say that I'm happy.

- Promise.
- All right.

- Huh?
- What happened to the dress?

- What's wrong?
- I mean, the dress is pretty.

But it's not me.

I wanted to wear something
breath-taking

on my special day.

Belle, we have to order wedding dresses

months in advance.

- Honey?
- Well, lucky for me.

I have the fabulous
Fancy Ballentine as my sister.

Wait? You want me to make the dress?

Belle, I don't have that kind of time.

I mean, you did an amazing job

designing my wedding dress,

and you would absolutely
slay Belle's wedding dress.

Please, please.

Okay, it won't be easy,
but it will be perfect.

Thank you, sister.

Mm-hmm.

- Ain't she the best?
- Exactly.

Hey, mama. What you in here doing?

I tell you, learning this
Braille isn't gonna be easy.

You know they have audio books
for that now, ma.

Francine, I know that.

And stop with the long face.

What you got planned for the evening?

Just taking a look at
some of Richard's work,

and I'm gonna start sketching
Belle's wedding dress.

Oh, Lord, you mean to tell me

she got you to make her dress too?

You know you spoil her.

Just like your father used to.

That's probably why I do it.

I think it's what daddy
would have wanted me to do.

Oh, you know that man,
he just adored you girls.

And he used to love watching y'all sing.

Like you did earlier.

Although if you ask me, you're
the only one with a voice.

Mama... Well, it's the truth.

Well, I'm singing in church this Sunday.

I think you should come.

I'm a little upset with God right now,

and nobody wants
some old angry woman

sitting up in their house.

Mama.

God specializes in things impossible.

I think he'll understand.

Then you think he can
make me understand

why he took my husband away?

- Okay.
- Yeah.

- I like this.
- I do, too.

- Fancy, are those shoes...
- Absolutely.

It's really funny, I didn't realize

they introduced a shorter, thicker heel.

Well, that's shocking

because I thought you knew everything.

Hey, gang!

- Oh! Lyla.
- Lyla.

Lyla, I am so glad you're back.

I cannot wait to hear about South Africa.

The photos, amazing.

Ooh, and I can't wait to share, but first,

I have some news,
everyone, gather round.

I am happy to be back.

Actually, that's not true.

I'd rather be spending the holidays

tanning with my new love, Buhle.

But alas, I am happy to see all of you.

Some of you, I have
known for a very long time

and you're like family to me.

But after 25 years of being the face,

the owner and the creative director

of Lyla Ross, I've decided to retire.

Retire? Okay.

That's unexpected.

Are you selling the company?

Oh, no. I'll remain the owner.

But I will be handing over the role

of creative director to either you, Fancy,

- or Germaine.
- Oh, yes!

I, never mind. It's just
an honor to be nominated.

I was so inspired by South Africa,

the classic silhouette, the luxe detail

the vibrant colors,
that I want each of you

to design a safari-inspired
capsule collection

for spring summer.

- Ooh, okay, Africa.
- Nice.

- That's a lot.
- And who's ever design

I like best, will become
the new creative director

of Lyla Ross.

Lyla...

Thank you so much.

It's gonna be quite the competition.

Fancy is an incredible designer.

I will most definitely
be bringing my A game.

And I undoubtedly say the same thing.

Ooh, brilliant.

Now I am off for a flight.

Hmm.

Oh, my Lord.

I got this. I got this. I got this. I got this.

Ooh.

- Oh.
- Oh, hey, Miss Evelyn.

Oh, hey. Hey, Jaylen.

Coming back from your morning walk?

Yeah, so nice and crisp outside.

Yeah, I love this weather.

What are you doing with that wood?

I'm replacing some old floor
boards so that you won't trip.

Smells like cedar.

You've got good nose because that it is.

You know, I used to sculpt with
cedar a lot in my early years.

Wood is easy to work with.

The various grains and... and patterns.

They just make art so vibrant.

- I know this isn't easy.
- Well, you got that right.

When I started losing my sight,

I felt like I started losing everything.

That God's something.

Well, He really is.

Even with everything I've lost,

I've come to see that somehow
He still gives me just enough.

Just enough, huh?

Yeah.

Some kind of God he is.

Miss Evelyn, you know,

there's no reason for you
to give up making art.

Baby, a vision impaired sculptor

is about as useful as a

finger-less organ player.

But you still have those fingers

and they are powerful.

All you need is for me to make

some adjustments to your equipment.

How do you knit?

- Hey, boss.
- Yes.

I just got your email about

dropping off wedding invitations.

Oh, yeah, they're right there.

Isn't the bride and the groom
supposed to be doing this?

If I relied on my bride baby sister,

they'd be sending on New Year's Eve.

And can I say something?

If it's not work-related Tia, no.

Look, after all the hard work
you've put into this company,

I don't understand why Lyla didn't just

hand you the creative director role.

Everybody thinks it.

- Who's everybody?
- The entire office.

- Really? Okay.
- Yes.

Can I see the sketches
yous working on?

No, these are very, very rough.

And to be honest with you,

all of this couldn't have
come at a worse time.

In between the holiday rush,

planning my little sister's wedding,

moving in, helping out
my mama, I'm slammed.

Well, superwoman.

I'm here to help wherever I can.

Thank you.

Well, you can start by
taking those invitations

to the post office.

Ah, dang.

Oh, I gotta go get
my nails redone tomorrow.

And it better not make you late.

I can't make no promises.

- Oh.
- Uh-huh.

That was a lot.

I just want you to know, mama and I

love the changes you've made so far.

It's been such a joy to see
her move around so freely.

I just finished the last round.

Mmm. That was fast.

Now, the plumbing's
gonna need a lot of work,

but you said that we should
wait until after the wedding.

Yes.

Well, I guess I'll be seeing you soon.

Whoa.

Nice car.

Thanks. It's my baby.

I thought I was your baby.

Of course, that's my bad.

Jaylen, this is my boyfriend, Richard,

and, baby, this is the contractor

that's been making our lives a bit easier.

- Jaylen Harris.
- Hello, Richard Ellis. Whoo.

So, Mr. Harris, how long
you've been getting dirty,

constructing and building things?

Started this business a couple years ago.

Mmm.

And, uh, what'd you do before that?

VP of a global market in company.

- Mmm. Is that so?
- Yeah.

Just never really found
corporate America fulfilling.

So I traded in my suits for work boots

and I ain't never been happier.

Fancy is fantastic

and you are a lucky man.

Without a doubt.

- Will you come in?
- Mm-hmm.

All right, you have a good night.

Bye.

Fancy, why would you hire a contractor?

I mean, if your mom's going blind,

we should just put
an assisted living facility

and you can finally move in with me.

Oh, come on, babe,
and give up on the house

my father left for us?

No, I don't think so.

Okay.

Now, when are we going to dinner?

Well, actually, we don't have much time.

All right, so I figured we'd just go up

to the Chinese place, left the street.

You call that a special evening?

Babe, I gotta be on a red-eye
to LA for a conference.

I haven't even finished packing yet.

Well, at least

you've got your priorities straight.

Bubba, don't do that.

Look, you know how it is, all right?

That's why I love you.

No, you love me
'cause I keep allowing you

to cancel on me.

Fair.

When we finally get to celebrate,

we getting that senior VP position.

Who knows?

You might have something
even bigger to celebrate.

All right, come on.

Trust me, come on. Hey!

This place closes by an hour by the way.

Mmm.

Mama?

Oh, my God.

Baby, what's going on?

A pipe must have burst, ma.

Oh, my Lord.

I'm gonna go turn off the main valve.

All right, I-I'm gonna call Jaylen.

Hello? Jaylen, listen.

We need your help right away.

Mm.

Fancy, mom. Who is it?

It's me, Belle, mom, I got
your message, are you okay?

Oh, yes, sweetheart, I'm fine.

- Okay.
- Why are the lights out?

Jaylen shut off
the circle breaker for safety,

but he's turning it back on now.

I can't believe this is happening now.

- Yeah.
- Right before our wedding.

Oh, my God.

Oh, boy, oh, boy.

- Unbelievable.
- What in the...

How am I supposed
to get married in here?

- This place is a mess.
- Hey, bro.

Unfortunately, your pipes
are pretty corroded.

- Oh, I can't breathe.
- No, Belle.

- Calm down, sweetheart.
- Belle, Belle.

- Sit down, sit down.
- Belle, Belle.

- I'm here. I'm here.
- It's okay, baby.

Look at my eyes right here, okay?

- Tight.
- Close your eyes.

I want you to visualize
the most amazing wedding

you could possibly imagine
taking place, right here.

It's happening right here.
Breathe with me.

Deep breath in.

And out. Deep breath in.

And out.

Deep breath in. And out.

Namaste.

- Thanks.
- You're very welcome.

You okay?

- Okay.
- Yeah. All right.

And you scared me there for a second.

Look out!

- Oh, oh!
- Oh!

- Thank you.
- Yeah.

Jaylen.

Well, well, well.

It looks like we're going to be seeing

a lot more of you around here now.

- Yes, ma'am, you will.
- Mm-hmm.

I could devour these muffins,
they're fantastic.

Thank you.

I really appreciate you doing all this.

Oh, and I appreciate you
for committing to getting

the house done by December 23rd.

Oh, we have to put
in a little bit of overtime,

but I know how important
the wedding is to everyone.

Yes, it has to be special.

It's our first family milestone
since my dad passed.

Oh, I'm sorry to hear that.

When'd he pass?

Almost a year ago.

It's gotta be tough.

It is, especially since

this is his favorite time of the year.

I mean, he used to love
us coming together

as a family, singing, laughing, loving.

He used to say that he wished that

it could be Christmas every day.

Mm-hmm.

Oh, seems like he stepped up
in his place.

Yeah, well, isn't that
what the oldest one does

- when a parent passes?
- In some ways.

But then who steps up for you?

What do you mean?

The other night at dinner,
you brushed off the fact

that you didn't get to go
to your high school prom.

Like it was nothing.

But for a second, it seemed
like it was more than that.

Well, I see you have a tendency
to look too far into these.

Maybe.

I'm gonna go to
the grocery store after work.

If you and your guys
love my blueberry muffins,

you're gonna die from
my banana nut muffins.

You really don't have to do all that.

Not to mention, this isn't exactly

how I imagined making my way

onto Fancy's never ending to-do list.

Well, fine, no muffins.

- Have a good work day.
- You too.

- Bye.
- Bye.

Yeah, I mean, how about this one here?

Well, that's cute.

Let's make it rain.

Ash Flash, I could follow you for years.

You helped me un-big
my back for graduation!

Do you have a fitting appointment?

Yes, she most definitely does.

Bonjour, baby. Ca va, mwah, mwah.

Tu est tres belle.

- Thank you.
- Yeah, come, come with me.

Let's get you a fitting.

- Oh, please.
- Wow.

Take it easy with those pipes, fellas.

- Miss Evelyn.
- Hi there.

How's everything going?

Everything is going great.

Pipes are going in today.

But I have a little job for you.

Come on.

- What?
- Hmm.

So, how's it going?

Uh, fine, Fancy.

Ashley, how did you
and Germaine connect?

- Well, we did...
- Well, I just so happened

to see on social media
that Ash was looking for brands

to work with on her holiday shoot.

So, I slid right up in those DMs, baby.

At first, I didn't think you guys had

any flash potential for
my 15.5 million followers.

What does she mean by flash potential?

Her name is Ash Flash,
it's kind of a whole thing.

Like this dress, zero flash.

My boobs feel incarcerated.

Oh, no, no, baby.

Let's do something about that.

Still not enough flash.

Oh, okay, sis, I feel you. How about this?

Keep going.

Oh, okay, baby, I'm right here with you.

I see the vision, let's do it.

Oh, now, that's flash.

Really?

Is this what we've become?

I guess so.

Oh.

It's been a while since I've been in here.

Mm-hmm.

Do me a favor, you press her right here.

Oh, my goodness.

Boy, look at you.

I replaced the lights
with high intensity bulbs.

You know that actual helps.

I mean, I can, I can see a little better.

And I cleared out a lot of stuff,

so you'd have some more space.

Uh, yeah, I see, I have a lot of space.

Well, what did you do with my tools?

Okay, now, I reorganized
your chisels in size order

because I did a little bit of research

and it turns out that visually
impaired woodworkers

use the exact same tools
as the sided ones.

The only real difference
is how they mark and measure.

And here, check this out.

- Six inches.
- Ooh.

It's a talking tape measurement
that reads the length out loud.

All right, now you try it.

Eight inches.

Ten inches.

Oh, my Lord.

Now, your man at the store

wanted me to tell you
that it's not the vision

in your eyes that creates the art.

It's the vision in your mind's
eye that brings it all to life.

The water damage ruined
the finial on the banister.

And we're gonna need
someone to work on a new one.

You really think I can do this?

I know you can.

Allow me.

Here, we go.

- Ah, thank you.
- No problem.

Oh! Sorry, I'm late, y'all.

The work was absolutely crazy today.

And my head is killing me.

- Hey, sis?
- Hey.

Well, you know, there's no better cure

for a crazy day than try
out some wedding cakes.

- Mm-hmm.
- Try this.

It's a red velvet with white chocolate,

sour cream frosting.

Let me see.

Mm-hmm.

- Wow.
- All right.

I know I can't decide.

Red velvet, vanilla, lemon, coconut.

- Ooh.
- I love them all.

Well, the bakery
can make a four-layer cake

with four different flavors.

But it's gonna be a little more expensive.

Well, what's expensive?

Well, if there anything like this red velvet,

I'm sure they're amazing.
Let's do the four layer.

- Don't worry, Belle, I got you.
- Aw, thank you, sis.

Oh. Have you called Auntie Janice

and given her the store information

for Sky's flower girl dress?

- I've changed my mind about Sky.
- What?

I was thinkin' about using Kaiya.

Girl. Kaiya is one.

She can barely walk.

But have you seen Sky?

She cut her own hair and to fix it,

Auntie Janice cut a mullet into it,

and she looks like
a teenage Billy Ray Cyrus.

So what?

She is still your cousin.

No Billy Ray ruining my wedding pics.

Belle, you have already asked
Sky to be your flower girl.

Right, and don't nobody wanna
hear Auntie Janice's mouth.

Oh, hey, but this is my wedding.

Not Auntie Janice's,

who's already on husband number three.

Belle, you're being really petty.

And spoiled. She's turning into it...

Don't you dare.

A Bridezilla!

Are you serious?

You're the one who
fired your wedding singer

the day of the reception
because she was wearing

- all white.
- Sure did.

Who does that at
someone else's wedding?

See? A Bridezilla. Right, Fancy?

Are you kidding me? Don't ask, Fancy.

She's already supported you enough!

Y'all, please, please. Stop!

My head is killin' me.

I just make a flower crown
the cover up Sky's

silly, Billy Ray Cyrus haircut, damn!

Okay.

- I actually love that!
- That's a good idea.

'Cause flower crowns are cute.

Belle, won't you hold
still while she's pinning you?

Yeah, we might need
to redo this seam to a,

and pull up the draping.

Oh, you absolutely should.

Germaine, what are you
doing in my fitting room?

This is a private fitting.

Um, you know, the same thing
you did at my fitting

with Ash Flash, being nosy.

Germaine, I saw your post
with Ash Flash today.

- It was so good.
- Thank you, baby.

Was it?

I mean, 800,000 accounting

- seemed to think so.
- Those are crazy numbers.

Actually, Belle, if I designed
your wedding dress,

I've got a friend over at
City Bride's Social

who would love to see you

in a Germaine Luis,
the way you're original.

But they do a feature on you,
photo spread and everything.

- Are you serious?
- Mm-hmm.

Are you serious?

Belle, we're already working
on your dream dress.

Yes, but we are talking about City Bride.

Who has millions of followers.

Yes, let's do it.

Great, let's get started right now, baby.

You can take that off, please.

Unbelievable.

Bridezilla strikes again.

What?

Being on City Bride would be huge!

Belle, Fancy has spent countless hours

working on this dress.

Are you just gonna ditch
your sister for "The Gram?"

You know what, Deena?

- It's okay.
- No, actually, it's not.

No, it's her wedding, so
whatever makes her happy.

Ah! Thank you, sis.

And now that you don't
have to finish my dress,

you can just work on
the other wedding stuff.

Wow.

Boss, there's been an accident.

- It's your mom.
- My mom?

I'm not still feeling faint, are you?

That was a lot of blood.

Ms. Evelyn's always been a bleeder.

Thankfully, the cut
wasn't as bad as it looked.

You know, it is so darn nice
having a doctor in the family.

Yeah, I'm just gonna bill you

with a couple of babysitting
sessions with Kaiya.

Oh, but I'll have you know,
I charge by the hour.

Ma!

- What happened?
- Oh, honey, I'm okay.

I just had a little mishap
while I was carving.

She just needed a few stitches.

Mama, what were you doing

fooling around with your old tools?

Ahem. I, uh, modified her studio

to make it easier for her to use.

Mama, you're gonna have to accept that

there's some things
you just can't do anymore.

Why? Because
I'm a-a useless woman now.

Fancy, woodworking is not just what I do,

it's-it's part of who I am.

And it finally took someone
outside of this family

to truly understand
what that means to me.

Mama.

What were you thinking?

Those tools are dangerous

even for someone who can see well.

Look, Fancy, your mother may be
losing her eyesight,

but the rest of her faculties remain intact.

She just needed something
to keep her inspired.

Jaylen, your job is to fix this house,

not to tell me how to deal
with my mother.

- Okay, Fancy...
- Do you know what?

You're getting a little
too comfortable for there

to be so much work left in this house.

- Hey.
- Hey.

Working on the weekend.
Wow.

Yeah, got a tight deadline.

I didn't know you did all of this.

It's nice.

Yeah.

Look, I'm sorry for overstepping.

- I-I just...
- Listen.

My mama's got her own life

and somehow you realized
that before I did.

To be honest,
I haven't seen her this happy

in a long time. Thanks to you.

Glad, I could help.

A-ah, Fancy, wait.

So what does a busy, successful
executress do on a Saturday?

I'll be in the kitchen prepping the pies.

- Pies?
- Yes, pies.

Each year my church prepares
dessert boxes for the needy.

It's a tradition my father started.

Girl, do you ever have an off button?

Well, I have you know, that
bacon pies is very relaxing.

True,

- but I was talking about fun.
- Well, define fun.

Is that your way
of asking me to show you?

I didn't say that.

Like you have been working
and I have been working

and I could use some relaxation

and you can definitely use some fun.

So, how about you allow me
to introduce you to some fun

and I will come back here and help you

make these relaxing pies.

♪ Toys are under the tree ♪

♪ With the family

♪ This time of the year ♪

♪ And I'm here with you

♪ I'll remember this time of year ♪

Wow! I love this.

All of the Christmas vibes.

I can't believe
I've never been here before.

It's the first year the organization

that I volunteer for
has ever put it together.

Oh, what organization is this?

Christian-based organization
called Boys Rites of Passage.

That's where I spend
most of my downtime.

Focuses on getting
young black boys to manhood

through faith in Christ...

Oh, come on, Jesus.

Uh, basic life skills, um,
etiquette, health, yoga.

So that's where you get
the "Namaste" from.

Bingo.

Being around these young men

and pouring into
the next generation of leaders

is fulfilling.

Well, this place is awesome.

I'm about to drop
some serious coin up in here.

Ah, just gonna shop until you drop, huh?

Well, this is what I call fun.

Give me a second.

- Wedding stuff.
- It's actually my boss, Lyla.

- Hm.
- But bye, Lyla.

- Is that a Christmas miracle?
- Yeah.

This guy I know said that I need

to set some boundaries and be present.

Hm.

This guy seems very wise

and perhaps even handsome.

Ugh.

He all right.

Cookies.

- So...
- Fancy.

I love this place.

What'd you get?

This.

For me?

A little something to remember me by.

Thank you, Jaylen. It's beautiful.

It is.

Reminds me of you.

Mm.

There she is.

Here you go.

Thank you.

- It's hot.
- Okay, okay.

You know, I haven't
put up a Christmas tree

in my house in forever.

Hm...

Do you mind if I ask

what happened with your marriage?

Ooh.

- Too much?
- No, no, it's-it's okay.

Um...

Okay.

Remember when I told you

that I was miserable as an executive?

Mm.

Well, it turns out that
I was truly overworked

and exhausted,

physically, mentally, spiritually,

and all for something
that I didn't even know.

So after much thought and prayer,

I decided to walk away.

- From your marriage?
- Oh, God no.

To start my own construction company.

Huh?

Which my ex-wife hated.

Why?

Well, she was, is
a successful corporate attorney

and once she made partner

we barely, if ever, saw each other.

She would be returning from New York,

I would be headed to Singapore.

I thought that was crazy

and it didn't seem
to bother her much at all.

She was in love with the image of us

being a power couple,

more so than the marriage itself.

So, when I left corporate America,

she left me.

- I'm sorry to hear that.
- Nah.

Worked out for the best.

Because then I learned that

my love language is quality time.

It makes sense.

You're always talking about balance.

No, balance is key.

Like the kids say.

I wanna live a soft life.

Uh...

I wasn't taught that.

Well, me neither.
But o-okay. Hold on, hold on.

You're not getting away scot-free here.

You never told me
why you didn't go to prom.

Oh, I don't wanna talk about prom.

You know what's funny?

I find it hard to get to know someone

when I'm the only one that's sharing.

It's-it's not that I didn't wanna go.

It's just that at the time,

my father was in the Air Force

and my mom was a struggling artist.

She tried everything

but the dress, the shoes, the ticket.

- It was just too much.
- Hm.

And I pretended like it didn't
matter, but it did.

And that's when I decided that

my sisters would never go
through what I went through.

And if money was the problem,

- I'd be the solution.
- Hm.

And that's when I taught myself
how to sew

and worked in retail for a few years.

And yeah, and that's actually
where I met my boss, Lyla.

She saw something in me and asked

if I could be her assistant.

I felt like it was the perfect way

to work my way up in fashion.

- And then I did.
- Okay, so wait a minute.

You mean to tell me
that the whole reason

that you're in fashion
is because of your sisters?

Well, I guess you can say that,
but I've always loved fashion.

Okay.

I actually wanted to be
a bridal dress designer,

started with the prom dresses.

But I've always wanted to be
a part of something bigger,

like crafting something
that made a woman

feel cherished and beautiful.

Fancy, it sounds like

that's what you're supposed
to be doing with your life.

Yeah. But once I got older

and settled into the life I have now,

it kind of felt silly to go back

and chase
a childhood dream, you know?

If we don't find joy
in what we do every day,

then why are we doing it?

Well, not all of us went
to Wharton Business School

before launching our own company...

F-Francine Ballantine.

You've been in my life
for about a few weeks

and in that short span of time
I have seen you do

any and everything exceptionally well.

Ah. Thank you, Jaylen.

You can do anything
you put your mind to.

♪ I see the leaves are changing ♪

♪ I feel the temperature drop below ♪

♪ Lights re-arranging ♪

♪ I smell the eggnog and mistletoe ♪

Ow! Ow!

Ow!

I'm so sick of this!

I am sick of this!

Why?

God, why?

I was good.

I was faithful.

I did everything you asked.

I have followed every rule.

And you have taken everything from me.

Why?

Why?

Why?

Evelyn.

Oh, my God.

Walt?

Walt.

I already feel like I'm losing my mind.

Are you real?

I'm right here, baby.

Oh.

I was supposed to go first,

not you.

Honey, how could you leave me?

Did you remember
the first time I saw you?

Janice's birthday party.

In the middle of the dance floor,

you were swaying your hips,
to Chaka Khan.

From that moment on,
I've never left your side.

Even now, I'm still here.

Always.

You are.

Of course I am.

I've been trying to get you to feel me.

Oh.

Honey, it has been so hard without you.

I know, darling,

but you've got to pick yourself up

and keep going.

The life we've built, it's beautiful.

Just look at our girls, Deena, Belle,

and of course our titan,
the incomparable, Fancy.

I've been trying to reach her too.

She's always so worried
about everybody else.

But right now, she needs
you all more than ever.

Evelyn, the Lord
has blessed you with more time.

What a gift.

Don't waste it.

Oh.

I love you, Walt.

I love you.

And I love you, my darling.

And I gotta tell you.

You got it going on in here.

This place looks great.

Yeah. Yeah, I do.

Walt...

Salad and bacon.

You're quiet today.

I'm sorry, baby. It's just a lot going on.

You worried about
the creative director position?

Don't sweat it.

You got it.

And when I get promoted to senior VP,

you and I are gonna be
that power couple.

I'm not sure I want the position.

What do you mean?

I've actually been thinking

about making a shift in my career.

- A shift?
- Yeah.

Hey, baby, I miss creating from the heart.

And ready to wear,

I'm designing
what others think should sell

while chasing trends
and commercial appeal.

I wanna get back to making dresses

that feel true to me.

Maybe even start my own bridal line.

Babe.

I know you're stressed,

and I know part of you probably just

wants to run away from it all,

but this is just part of the journey.

Think about the life
we've worked so hard to build.

I am.

Well, then think about our parents.

Think about what they sacrifice
for us to be here.

I mean, look at us,

a successful black couple.

What's better than this?

- I'm trying to tell you.
- And I'm telling you.

Not only are you gonna
get that promotion,

you're gonna be glad, you did.

- Uh, you're almost finished.
- Oh, yeah.

Pipes have been replaced,
ceiling prepared.

And right on schedule.

The reviews are in,

and you got yourself a custom of life.

Why, thank you.

So, how'd the presentation go?

Well, my boss is gonna announce
the decision tomorrow night

at our company Christmas party.

Sounds like we have a winner.

Yes, I'm so glad.

Oh, you got a little
varnish on your cheek.

- Where?
- Right there.

- Oops.
- Mm.

- Oh-oh.
- Wow.

Okay, okay.

It's all fun and games

until you have varnish on you.

You better not come over here
with that varnish, Jaylen.

Uh-huh.

I'm not playing about my-my mind.

All right, all right.

What we got going on up in here?

Hm, varnish and stuff.

Mama.

Anyway, these came for you earlier.

Okay.

What's wrong, baby?

Nothin'. They're from Richard.

He's apologizing because
he won't make it back in time

for the party tomorrow.

That's too bad.

Honey, I am very sorry because I know

how you hate going
to those things by yourself.

Yeah.

So why don't you go with her, Jaylen?

Uh...

Mama, no, I-I couldn't ask him to do that.

Well, you don't have to. I already did.

Well, Jaylen?

Um...

I'm available if that's okay with you.

I mean, it's okay with me,
If it's okay with you.

Oh, my goodness,

you two are gonna drive me to drink.

Now, it's great, and it's a date.

It's a date.

All right.

Well, just so you know,
it's a fashion work thing,

so you probably won't have much fun.

But hanging with you is always fun.

Fancy. Your date is here.

Uh, um, w-well...

A-a date?

Not, not... It's not really a date.

- It's...
- Are you okay?

Yeah, I'm okay. Why?

Well, you seem a little nervous.

Nervous? Ha, me.

That's, that is hilarious.

Okay, maybe a little bit. Oh...

Why does this feel like a prom night?

Maybe because for her, it is.

- Oh, look at my baby.
- Hi.

Oh, sweetheart, you look stunning.

Thank you, mama.

Wow.

You look amazing.

Look.

Are those the earrings your...

They're the ones that daddy gave me.

Shall we?

Yes.

All right, mama. Love you.

Love you too.

All right, you two have fun.

And don't you dare
come back here early.

Wow.

Jinx?

Oh, Merry Christmas, Fancy.

You look absolutely stunning.

As do you, as usual.

Oh, this must be Richard.

You look equally ravishing.

Actually, Lyla, this is Jaylen.

Oh.

Well.

Nice to meet you, Jaylen.

Nice to meet you as well.

This is Buhle.

He just flew in from Cape Town
to surprise me for Christmas.

Now, I know you're thinking
that he may be

a little young for me, but don't worry.

Trust me, he can barely keep up.

Well, come on, darling.

- Buh-bye.
- Bye.

You have an interesting boss.

Ah, that's one word for her.

Hi, Jaylen.

- Hey, Tia.
- Hi, boss. You like?

Well, I should like it. I designed it.

You're so talented. It's so beautiful.

Don't you think so, Jaylen?

Yes, I do.

- So, Tia, is Jamal here?
- Oh, yeah, girl.

He's around here somewhere
trying to get people

to download his mix-tape.

Actually, le-let me go find him.

- Okay. Bye.
- Bye.

You sure you still want to do this?

- Absolutely.
- Okay,

Fancy. You are always one-upping me.

Here I thought I upgraded with my date

and that here you are with yours looking

practically edible in this
impeccably tailored suit.

He's not my date. We're just friends.

Okay. Yeah, whatever.

Anyway, um, listen,

I hope you know that I am a huge fan

and I deeply respect both
you and your talents.

Oh, Germaine,
and you know I feel the same.

Thank you because
that was actually really hard

for me to say out loud.

And, uh, whatever happens, we cool

and I know the vision is in good hands.

Amen.

May the best girl win!

You said it, not me.

Ooh, I love this song.

See you two "friends" later.

Oh, wow.

♪ Close my eyes and watch

♪ They gonna come and perk it ♪

- You having fun?
- I am. I am.

Although I'm a little surprised
at how many people think

- I'm Richard.
- Ah.

These people
haven't met your boyfriend?

Well, he hasn't made it
to many of our gatherings.

- So.
- Ah.

So you two haven't been
together that long?

Three years.

But, you know,
work is demanding on him too.

Ay, ay, ay.

What?

You hold the bar so high for yourself,

yet so low for everybody else?

Fancy.

You deserve someone in your life

that demands as much for you

as you do for everyone else.

Attention everyone, eyes on me.

Yes, thank you.

I want to take this time

to thank each and every one
of you for your passion,

creativity and determination

that you've poured into this company.

With that being said,

I am excited to announce
who will succeed me

as creative director.

And that person is...

Fancy Ballentine! Oh!

Come up here, Fancy.

You're letting me say a few words.

- Absolutely, of course.
- Yes.

Lyla, thank you so much
for this opportunity.

During my time here, Lyla Ross,

I've learned so much about the industry,

but even more about myself.

As someone who's given
so much to this company

along the way, not only have
I forgotten my worth,

but I've forgotten that
my dreams are worth it too.

So, with that being said,

I've decided to resign...

and take a dear friend's advice
and finally bet on myself.

- Germaine.
- Yes.

Yes.

Uh, con-con-congratulations. Yes.

You're gonna be amazing.

I'm excited to see
what's next for Lyla Ross,

but even more excited to see
what's next for me.

Thank you.

Did you see Lyla's face?

Yes. I can't even
believe her face could do that.

Wow. It just felt so good.

I mean, in that moment, I realized

that the only way to build the company

I truly envision is to do it on my own.

And it's gonna be fantastic.

I'm pretty sure Tia and everybody else

is gonna come right along with you.

God, is this what
choosing yourself feels like?

- Mm-hmm.
- I mean, can you believe?

I sure can.

The only person
who ever doubted you was you.

Thank you, Jaylen.

- For what?
- For everything.

You p-pushing me and encouraging me.

It's kind of funny

because we haven't known
each other long, but with you,

I don't have to work at anything

but just being the best version of me.

And I feel the exact same way.

Jaylen...

I can't.

I'm with somebody.

And I can respect that.

Goodnight.

Goodnight, Fancy.

And so I told
game recognized game,

and you're looking
real unfamiliar right now.

Sometimes you have to
let people know who's on top.

- You're so right.
- So, Fancy...

Oh, hey, Mama.

Look, the rehearsal dinner
is gonna be amazing.

Oh, great. Listen, come with me
to get some more champagne.

Okay.

Francine, I am so proud of you.

For what, mama?

For finally choosing something
that brings you joy

and gives you purpose.

Thank you, mama.

I'm excited and a little scared.

I mean, I have to reach out
to some of the relationships

I've built over the years
and find some investors...

No, no, no, no, sweetheart.

There's no reason to be scared
because God's got it.

Wow.

It looks like I'm not the only one

finding her everyday joy.

Yeah, I know.

The other night I decided

that I was gonna get loud with God,

and he got loud right back.

And?

Oh, honey,

I am at peace with everything.

Hm, mama.

Sometimes we got to follow
what we think.

God is saying to us.

I mean, that's why I was so sure

about the decision I made
to set out on my own.

I mean, not only did I listen to God,

but I felt daddy's support.

Amen.

The Hallelujah.

Ms. Evelyn.

I think it's time.

Time for what?

There's a big surprise.

I'm not gonna tell you what it is,

but it's a a big, big surprise.

Okay, mama.

Jaylen, about last night...

It's okay.

We're good.

Okay.

Thank you.

Ready?

May I have your attention, please?

Belle, Anthony,

I know that we're here
for your rehearsal dinner.

However,

Ms. Evelyn has something
she would like to present.

Well, I know that you're all aware

that ever since I started losing my vision,

I've been feeling lost, broken.

But thanks to my friend Jaylen,

I have been able to find
my way back to art again.

Or as Fancy just told me,

I've found my everyday joy.

Ladies and gentlemen, behold.

Ow, mama, it's beautiful.

It's good, ladies and gentlemen,

- now this is a masterpiece.
- Mm-hmm.

My mamma's back, y'all. She back.

It's so good.

So, last night as a single man, Anthony.

- How you feeling?
- I'm ready to hang it up.

- Oh, good.
- Y'all got any advice for me?

Have you figured out

how to handle conflicts with Belle?

Uh-huh.

You know, I think
with these Ballentine women,

you just got to agree with them.

He's ready. 'Cause you ain't never lie.

I agree
with everything they say.

Hey, Merry Christmas, fellas.

Rich.

What's going on, man?

You know Jaylen, right?

- I do. Hey.
- What's up?

- Anthony, congratulations.
- Thank you. Thank you.

Are Fancy and the ladies inside?

Oh, yeah, they're in there.

Okay.

I didn't even know that.

Fancy?!

Hello, sister.

Fancy?!

Richard, what are you doing here?

- Hey.
- Thought you wasn't coming back

until Belle's wedding.

Hey, I wanted to surprise you, baby.

Baby, um, I have some news.

- Me first.
- Okay.

I got senior VP.

- Congratulations.
- I did it.

I'm so proud of you.

Wouldn't have been
able to do it without you.

Fancy,

you and I just make sense.

I know I work a lot, but I mean,
the point is to have someone

equally as strong standing next to you.

Let's do this life together,

me and you a real power couple.

Fancy

will you marry me?

Just say yes, and we'll have

our own Christmas wedding next year.

Mm. Baby, I...

I-I can't.

I can't.

What do you mean,
what do you mean you can't?

Let's not do this now.

- Just...
- Oh, what?

Why not now?

I mean, I think, I at least
deserve an explanation

as to why you won't marry me?

Richard.

I've put so much time
and-and support into you.

And I'm a better man for it.

But I'm not a better woman.

What do you mean?

You just don't see me.

I need someone who helps me
be the best version of me.

And you're just not that.

I'm sorry.

Babe, hold this.

- That was a lot.
- And so tacky!

I mean, who does that
at my rehearsal dinner?

No, please.

Did I just make
the biggest mistake of my life?

What does your gut say?

It says I'm done making decisions

that look right but don't feel right.

My whole life, y'all,

I've done what was expected of me,

pushed forward
and put everybody else first.

And, Deena, you have
a husband that adores you

and the most beautiful baby girl.

Belle, you're about to marry
the man of your dreams

and have the wedding of a lifetime.

And even mom has rediscovered the joy

in doing what she loves.

All of you guys have built
lives that fulfill you

and I want that too.

For the first time in my life,

I know what my version of joy looks like,

and that wasn't it.

Sis, you've always been our rock,

I guess we forget that our smart,

incredible, strong big sister

needs us to hold her up sometimes too.

I know I made it look easy for years,

but it's not.

I really need y'all right now.

We need each other.

What do you think?

I can't believe you still made my dress.

Yeah, this body.

I can't believe what a hot mess
Germaine's dress was.

- Oh, hell.
- Yeah, listen.

I kept it a secret because
I wanted to surprise you

with the very first original
Fancy Ballentine bride of gang.

Mm.

How did you know
I wouldn't like his dress?

Let's just say I know my sister.

- Mm-hm?
- Oh, really, y'all?

I feel awful.

Have I really been a Bridezilla?

- Yes.
- Yes.

Yes, you have.

Whatever.

Honestly, I just think we should do

whatever it takes to be happy in this life.

Yep. Because you only have one.

And today you are choosing to do

life with the most perfect man.

I'm so proud of you.

Thank you. I'm proud of me too.

I'll be back, y'all.

Well, where is she goin'?

Ah. She went to get her man, honey.

She needs to hurry it up.

- Come on, let's take a picture.
- Oh.

Jaylen!

Fancy, what?
W-What are you doing here?

You're supposed to be at the wedding.

I know but I wanted to make this right.

I already told you, we are good.

Jaylen.

The right person reminds you
that your needs, dreams

and well-being is just
as important as theirs.

Okay, well-well, what about
Richard and the proposal?

Well, you walked out
before I told him no.

Wow.

You, you finally told someone no.

Yeah.

And I've never had to do or be anything

but myself with you.

And I realize now that,

that's the life that I want.

That's the life you deserve.

Merry Christmas, Fancy.

Merry Christmas.

Mr. Jaylen, you got a girlfriend?

- Come with me to the wedding.
- Like this?

Just like that. Excuse me, excuse me.

My boss looks so beautiful.

She'd make
an even more beautiful bride.

Don't you think so, Jaylen?

You're preaching to the choir.

Let's all stand.

Here we go.

She looks so beautiful.

She looks amazing.

Looks beautiful.

Oh, my God, the dress is gorgeous.

With this ring...

I thee wed.

I love you. I love you.

Belle.

Your father was such
an incredible mentor to me.

His words were always

filled with such love and wisdom.

And he tell me

it's love and kindness that draws them.

And, Ms. Evelyn, his spirit is with you

even in this moment.

And I can see him smiling
on every one of us

as I pronounce these words.

By the power, vested in me
on this snowy Christmas Eve,

I now pronounce you husband and wife.

Anthony, you may kiss your bride.
