I love weddings.

Really, I love everything about them.

There's something magical about family and friends coming together to watch two

people promise to love one another forever.

Oh, by the way, that's not me.

I'm over there.

That's me, Jessica Parks.

Like I said, I love weddings.

I love them so much, in fact, that all my friends asked me to plan theirs.

Turns out I'm pretty good at it.

All those precious moments, you know the ones where the bride playfully and

spontaneously smears cake into the groom's face.

Yeah, I plan that.

The time, the camera angle, the cake placement, everything.

If it happens during the wedding, it's because I planned it that way.

Hey Michelle, one vegan dish coming up.

Best wedding photographer in the city.

We're back in the city.

Lucky to get him.

Mmm.

Amazing cupcakes, Jess.

So glad you helped organize Tina's wedding.

You're such a good friend.

Well, team effort.

Actually, not to sound too immodest, I kind of masterminded this whole thing.

I can't imagine how beautiful your wedding day will be.

Someday.

That's Rob.

He's my date.

I know it's a little early in the relationship to be inviting someone to a

wedding, but we've really been jiving, so I figured wedding can only bring us closer.

Right?

Hey.

Hey.

I think we need to split up.

I did not plan this.

What?

Look, it's not you.

You are great.

Okay.

Well, if I'm so great, then why are you splitting up with me?

I just feel like we never really...

I don't know...

jived?

Also, I ran into my ex-girlfriend.

I, uh...

I think we're really reconnecting, you know?

Yeah, so, uh... I think we're gonna leave.

Oh.

Okay.

Thanks, Liam.

Molly, looking strong and ready.

When's the due date?

Four more weeks.

All right.

Can't wait to meet the little guy.

Or girl.

Hey, Ted.

Thanks for working on my cousin with a gas mask, man.

I really appreciate it.

Yeah.

Well, I got some bull.

I am the Ted of Ted's Gym.

I... Yeesh.

Jess, are you okay?

He...

dumped me.

Yeah.

Rob dumped me, so that's good.

I'm sorry.

He seemed nice.

Yeah.

He was.

He was.

You didn't see it coming?

Okay, okay.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

Come on.

We'll get you cleaned up, okay?

I see it coming.

Is that coffee?

No.

It's water.

You need to hydrate.

Make you feel better.

Well... thank you.

Mm-hmm.

So...

you say he broke up with you at the wedding?

Mm.

He broke up with me at the reception.

Not at the service.

Which, you know, I thought was, uh... very sweet of him.

Yeah, it's very sweet.

Well, I think he's a jerk, and he doesn't

deserve you, and you should forget about him.

Jess, you're kind and intelligent and beautiful

and everything that anybody could ever ask for.

Everyone except for Rob.

Forget Rob.

Somebody better will come along.

I promise.

He always took such good care of me.

Still do.

Take care of each other.

Best friends do, right?

Drink.

Drink.

Speaking of, I've been thinking a lot lately about life and love and friendship.

Jess, I'm engaged.

What?

Uh... I know.

It's crazy.

What?

Who?

What?

Where?

And sudden.

I mean, congratulations.

Thanks.

I didn't even know you were dating.

I mean, usually you tell me you're dating.

I know.

That's kind of the thing.

I didn't want you to disapprove.

Disapprove?

Why would I disapprove?

Do I know her?

Hmm.

Is it one of your ex-girlfriends?

Is it Amanda?

Because I want you to be happy Ted, but not with Amanda.

No, no, no.

It's not Amanda.

Is it the one who made those creepy porcelain doll things?

What was her name?

Terry.

Terry?

Oh, it's not Terry.

Okay, good.

It was weird.

It's Kimberly Kentwood.

Kimberly Kentwood.

The meanest girl in high school, Kimberly Kentwood?

Wow, okay.

I would rather it be Scary Terry.

Well, okay, look.

I know what you're thinking, but she's totally changed.

You wouldn't even recognize her anymore.

Oh, she looks different?

Well, no.

She looks the same.

Actually, it was just kind of weird.

Oh, thank goodness.

I mean, Kimberly Kentwood still looks gorgeous.

I mean, do you remember high school when you were Big Ted

and her and all of her friends made fun of you and me?

Yeah, but everybody made fun of me for being Big Ted.

Uh, not everyone.

Okay, she's amazing now, okay?

She just got out of a long-term relationship and it made

her think about her life and it totally changed her.

I swear.

Okay.

If you are telling me that the queen of mean has changed, then, uh, I believe you.

Thank you.

There's one more thing.

You know how you really like to plan weddings, right?

And you're really, really good at it.

And you're my best friend.

Yeah, Kimberly Kentwood.

So, will you be my best woman?

What?

Just like a best man, but a woman.

Oh, I know what a best woman is.

Okay, so?

I would, I would, I would love to.

Yes.

Amazing.

Amazing.

I get to plan my best friend's wedding.

To Kimberly Kentwood.

So what did you say?

He's my best friend.

Of course I said yes.

Tough break, Jess.

Single again.

Check.

Eating cupcakes for dinner.

Check, check.

And your incredibly hot and successful best

friend is marrying the high school mean girl.

Yeah, any more checks and I'm gonna start sounding like a chicken.

Hey, why didn't you ever date him?

Ted?

Yes, Ted.

You're always talking about how amazing he is.

And imagine how cute your kids would be.

Okay, yeah.

Just saying.

Oh, and cupcakes for dinner.

Probably should make it a habit.

Know what I mean?

Oh, yeah.

Kimberly broke up with you right there at the wedding.

Technically, it was at the reception, but... Yes.

She said at the reception.

Pay attention, Beatrice.

I am paying attention.

Well, then turn up your hearing aid.

And, Jessica dear, if he broke up with you, then he's a jerk.

Not the only jerk around here.

Ladies.

I think the real issue here is that her best friend is engaged.

Isn't that right, Jess?

Yeah, I mean, Ted is a great guy.

And I want him to be...

happy.

It's just...

not with Kimberly Kentwood.

She sounds like a jerk, too.

Okay, I don't know if I support your, you know,

flagrant use of the word jerking your doors, but...

Yeah, she's... she's a jerk.

She was a jerk.

But, as his best friend, you're gonna support

his decision and help him plan a great wedding.

Right?

Yes, Mr. Mulligan.

You know what you should do?

Find someone that Ted hated in high school and beat him.

Okay.

Well, thank you for the suggestion, Doris.

For now, let's just call that plan B.

I mean, the point is, Doris just likes Ted.

No.

No, no, no.

No, I don't like Ted.

I mean, not like that.

We're just best friends.

I find this all rather confusing.

I'm gonna grab a cookie from the mess hall.

Come on, Beatrice.

Okay, okay, watch your sugar levels, ladies.

Especially you, Doris.

Sure you didn't want a cookie?

Believe me.

I've had more than my share of cookies in my time.

Hey.

The bad days make you appreciate the good ones.

And just remember, he's still your best friend.

No matter who he marries.

Old people are so smart.

One of the benefits of hanging around so long.

That, and free cookies in the mess hall.

Hey, Mom, it's me.

Not like a robber or anything.

Oh, sweetie.

How are you?

Hi.

Good.

You guys?

Oh, we're so excited.

Little Teddy getting married.

I feel so old.

Oh, please, you guys act like half your age.

That's true.

Do you feel like a bite to eat?

Nah, I'm just gonna go to my old room and wait for Ted and his fiancée to show up.

Mom?

Yes, his fiancée.

I hear you all went to school together.

Do you remember her?

Vaguely.

Hello.

How are you?

Kimberly Kentwin's in my house.

Well, this is Jess Spock.

So nice to meet you.

Speaking of, where is Jess?

She's been upstairs for a while.

Jess, darling, you alright?

Way to go, Jess.

You forget how to walk down the stairs?

Ted, don't embarrass your best woman.

Hi, Kim.

How are you?

Jessica.

We're old friends.

Come here.

Oh.

Okay.

Well, um, congratulations.

Thank you.

I never in a million years thought I would ever get married.

Especially to such a gem as this one.

He is a gem.

You're too kind.

No, we're not.

You are a great guy.

Back me up here, Jess.

What?

Uh, Ted?

Yeah.

I mean, he's cool.

Well, thank you so much for that ringing endorsement.

He's just being funny.

Come on, Jess.

You know Ted better than anyone here.

Yeah, I mean, Ted is everything a girl could want in a partner.

Wow.

Uh, I mean, if you're into the whole, like, tall, handsome,

smart, funny kind of thing, which I don't look for.

I'm not, I'm not, I'm sorry.

I'm not into it.

But, um, if you are, then that's good for you.

Okay, uh, shall we get started?

Yeah.

Yeah.

Okay, so we're gonna put the head table over here, and then we're gonna put the

bar in this corner, and there's gonna be a bunch of chicken

fingers for all of your guests, as request of the groom.

What?

I like chicken fingers.

Yeah, he really likes chicken fingers, this guy.

Yeah, you're lucky I let you win that one, buddy.

Well, you know what I would love?

String lights from tree to tree.

Oh, I was thinking the same thing.

Oh, um, can we get those old-style bulbs, you

know, where you can see the filament inside?

What are they called again?

Um, um... I love that we make such a great team.

I love that the two most important women in my life are getting along so well.

Really?

Two most important women?

I don't remember seeing either of them when I was spending 12 hours in labor with you.

Well, obviously, I mean next to you.

I'm sure you did.

Hi, Mrs. Cooper.

How are you?

Jessica.

It's been too long.

And here she is, my daughter-in-law to be.

Hey.

Nice to see you.

Speaking of women in my life, have we told Grams about the engagement party yet?

Oh, yes.

We just need someone to pick her up.

Oh, I can do that.

You sure?

I know you kind of got a lot on your plate.

Oh, I love Grams, yeah.

I can arrange for someone to pick her up.

Okay.

Thanks.

You guys about done here?

Oh, yes, please.

Yeah, we've pretty much covered everything, so...

Well, yeah, why don't you take her up to see my room

and I'm going to go over one more thing with Jess.

Oh.

Girl... What?

Come on.

You sure you want to go up there?

Are you kidding me?

It's like the most important place in the world to me as a kid.

Okay.

Let's go.

I haven't been in here in years.

I mean, I have so many memories.

Yeah, me too.

You used to tell me not to pay attention to all

those kids who made fun of me for being Big Ted.

Yeah, and you would assure me that Billy Clark would

ask me out, which, by the way, has never happened.

You deserve better than the Billy Clarks of the world.

I thought we'd be in here planning my wedding, huh?

To Kimberly Kentwood.

God, we must have been in here a million times,

trash-talking her, and I'm going to marry her.

Do you remember that time when her... and her two bully friends...

Oh, what did we call them?

Oh, the Crucifixion!

Yeah, yeah, yeah, I do.

I remember them.

But things are different now.

You know, we're different.

I mean, I just can't figure out how you kept it a secret from me this whole time.

It wasn't easy.

I wanted to tell you.

I just didn't know how you'd react.

You're my best friend.

You're an amazing woman.

You mean everything to me.

Tender, you're gonna make me cry.

I know.

I'm serious.

You're my best friend.

And I love you.

I mean, like, not like the same way I love Kim, obviously.

Oh, just...

It's nice.

Mr. Mulligan, everything just went to my handbasket.

Engagement party planning?

Planning was fine.

Was this Kimberly person still a jerk?

No.

Ted was right.

She's actually, like, super nice now.

So what's the problem?

I think I might like-like Ted.

I thought you were just friends.

Yeah, so did I.

What happened?

We started talking about how we've been friends since childhood and then I started

thinking about how amazing he is and how much he means to me and... Jessica.

You can care about somebody and admire them without having romantic feelings for them.

Are you sure?

Listen, you're gonna be spending a lot of time with Ted planning the wedding.

You need to use that time to figure out your true feelings for him.

Things will turn out.

Chin up.

Okay, Mrs.

Cooper, did you plug in the last of the lights?

Plugged in.

Ready to go.

Mrs. Cooper, turn them on.

Jessica Parks.

You sure are good at this.

Thank you, Gail.

I can't wait to see what you do with your own wedding someday.

Someday.

Jessica!

Hi.

Hi.

Well, it looks incredible.

Thanks, Kim.

And the lights?

You found... Edison bombs!

Oh, Jess, you remember Megan and Lauren?

We all went to school together.

Yeah, Megan and Lauren?

How could I forget?

It's good.

Ladies?

Hey!

Hey.

Hey.

Jess.

Hi.

I can't remember ever seeing this place look so...

magical.

Magical?

Yeah, magical.

Okay, we're using magical.

Thank you.

Yeah, Jess, seriously, thank you.

Hey, has anybody seen Grams?

Grams?

No, but Jess was sending someone to pick her up.

Well, you did send somebody, right?

Yeah.

Um... I'm sure she'll be here any minute, then.

Well, if you're worried, I can give her a colsy wish.

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

I'm gonna call my guy.

I'm gonna...

One second.

Well, would anyone like to join me for a drink?

Yes.

Hello?

Yes, Grams, I'm totally my fault.

I'm sorry.

That's okay.

How quickly can you be ready?

I'm ready.

Okay, perfect.

I'm gonna send someone to your house to pick you up in 20 minutes.

Oh, fine.

All right.

Hi, you've reached Jess and Blair.

Leave a message at the beach.

Shoot.

Hello?

Hey, it's me.

Um...

I need your help.

Hey.

Hey.

Get everything figured out with Grams?

Oh, yeah, I was just a mix-up with her driver.

She'll be here in a minute.

Great.

She really could count on you.

Oh, you know me.

Trusty Jess.

You know, I think Kim was kind of nervous about having the engagement party in my

childhood backyard, but I think it turned out really good.

Oh, it's a great idea.

I mean, you have so much history here.

We have so much history here.

You know, I was going through old photos with my parents to

put together one of those picture montages for the reception.

Oh, that is a great idea.

People love that.

Well, there were so many of you and I.

Like this one.

Do you remember?

It was my 12th birthday.

It's you and me pretty much in this exact spot.

Wow, we were so cool even back then.

Oh, thanks for showing me this.

Yeah.

It's good memories.

You know, the Edison bulbs were my idea.

And just what are you two whispering about?

Nothing.

It's... Guys, it's me.

What's up?

It's just that Ted's great and all.

Yeah, and?

But his little friend Jessica... Yeah, they were best friends.

We'll just make sure that she doesn't think that it's more than that.

We're just trying to watch your back.

That's all.

Um, I have to take this.

But, uh, you enjoy the rest of your party.

Yeah.

Oh, okay.

Oh, Patrick.

Perfect.

Perfect.

Patrick!

One grandmother delivered.

Uh, Grams, are you okay back there?

Are you kidding me?

Most fun I've had in years.

Oh.

Oh, give me a hug.

Oh.

So nice to see you.

Okay, everyone's in the back.

Go on in and I'll meet up with you in a minute.

Okay.

Maybe sooner.

Mr. Mulligan!

On your scooter?

What are you thinking?

Well, it was either this or trying to steal the bus from the retirement home.

Okay, she's safe.

She's here.

That's all that matters.

So what happened?

How did you forget the grandmother?

You know, it's just a simple mistake.

The Jess I know doesn't usually mess up when she's planning a wedding.

Okay, well, just don't read too much into it, okay?

But thank you, and I'm gonna find a safer ride home for her.

Well, if you can't, give me a call.

So, I'll show them the garden first where people usually set up the tents.

Yeah, we should be there shortly.

I'm just waiting for my bride and groom.

Gotta go.

Hi.

Hi.

Uh, where's Ted?

Oh, he's just running a little late.

He'll meet us here.

Okay.

Alright.

It'll give us a chance to get to know each other a little more.

Okay.

Lead the way.

So, we're gonna put the chairs on the left and right for the bride and groom's

parties, and that creates an aisle down in the middle.

And the service will be here, which obviously gives

you a beautiful backdrop for your wedding photos.

Jess, this is beautiful.

You know, when I was a little girl, I used to always dream

about having my wedding at St. Joseph's Castle in Midtown.

Yeah, I think we all had that dream.

But I guess apparently they haven't had weddings there in years.

I try to think.

It's like virtually impossible.

Well, this is a great second choice.

Yeah.

So.

You and Ted.

Why didn't you guys ever hook up?

Oh, we're just...

It's not like that between us.

Never?

I don't know.

I'm just asking because it just seems like the

two of you would be a perfect fit for one another.

Yeah.

Well, people ask us that all the time.

But we just don't feel that way about each other.

But, um, no.

Ted is obviously amazing.

And I have a serious lack of amazing guys in my life.

I'm sorry, Jess.

It's my ex.

I have to take it.

Excuse me.

What?

No.

I told you.

I can't talk about this with you right now.

No, I'm not having this conversation.

Everything okay?

No.

My ex is making my life a living right now.

Okay.

Well, if you want to take a break and stop... No.

It's fine, Jess.

But I really need you to be honest with me, okay?

Please.

Look!

There's Ted!

Quick.

Before he gets here, I need to know.

Do you have feelings for Ted?

No.

I don't.

I don't have feelings.

Hi, Ted.

Sorry I'm late.

Can't look at this place.

I know.

Isn't it great?

Yeah.

Perfect.

Okay, um...

Let's go this way and I'll show you where we're gonna put the dinner tent.

Great.

Thank you, Jessica.

Alright.

Okay.

I lied to her!

I looked her right in the eyes and I straight up lied to her!

Slow down!

We still have a little time before the wedding, right?

Yeah.

I have feelings for an engaged man.

That's not very innocent.

No, you think you have feelings for an engaged man.

I... but... Jessica.

Someone you've known your entire life, someone

very special to you, is getting married.

What's the problem?

No, that's the cause of your feelings.

What?

Things in your life have been very turbulent lately.

The relationship you saw going forward ended, forcing you to look backwards.

That could easily create a confusing situation for anyone.

What?

My life has been very... How did you put it?

Turbulent.

Turbulent.

It would explain why you've been distracted and

forgot to arrange a ride for Ted's grandmother.

Well, don't worry.

Because from now on, I'm just going to be like...

laser focused.

Oh.

You've made another mistake, haven't you?

Don't worry.

This one I can fix.

Hi, guys!

Hey, Jess.

What's this?

Cool, right?

Yeah.

When you said you had a surprise for the wedding

party, this is not exactly what I pictured.

So seriously, what's going on?

Okay, the best rental company messed up the reservation, but it's cool.

I borrowed this bus from work.

All aboard.

Okay.

Hey.

Can you get this to the wedding venue by Tuesday?

If they need it by Tuesday, we're going to lose the place.

Yeah.

I'll take care of it.

Thank you.

So, Jess, where are we going?

Don't worry.

You're going to love it.

All right.

Duke.

You sure about this?

Absolutely.

It's going to be a blast.

All right.

You've all been told the rules, and everyone knows how to play this game.

It's the bride's party versus the groom's.

Happy hunting, everyone.

Whoo!

Let's go.

Music Music Music

Music You seem to be enjoying yourself.

Well, yeah.

I always wanted to do this.

How did you know?

I am your best woman.

It's my adoption, obviously.

You know what this reminds me of?

Remember your 10th birthday?

We had a water balloon fight?

Hey, that wasn't a fight.

That was a full-out water balloon war.

Music

Who knew Ted's old nerd friends from high

school would be such good shots at paintball?

Well, they're probably working out.

Some residual anger they hold against us for how we treated them back then.

Especially you, Lauren.

Hey!

Well, come on, guys.

We were pretty mean back then.

I'm just glad we grew up.

Some more than others.

Hey, I am nice.

Sometimes.

Yeah.

You're just a regular saint.

I'm going to go take a look and see if the coast is clear.

Coast is not clear!

Definitely not clear!

Those nerds really hate you.

Speaking of nerds from high school, have you

been keeping an eye on that best woman of yours?

Yeah.

We talked the other day.

Her and Ted are just friends.

She doesn't have feelings for him.

You're so sure about that?

You look pretty chummy over there.

What?

I

was like my favorite one.

I was super chummy.

You ate my whole cake and I had no more cake!

Whoa, I was pretty dead.

I mean, this is what I did.

I was hungry.

It was good cake.

No, Brian.

That is not what we decided to do with the house.

What does she have to do with this?

Brian, I'm sorry.

Why are you being like this?

Brian!

Brian!

Hey, Kim.

Is everything okay?

No, my ex just continues to make my life as difficult as it can.

Sorry.

Is there anything I can do to help?

No, Jessica, there's nothing you can do.

You know what, actually?

There is something you can do.

Do you mind if I try not being in love with my fiancé?

Kim, I told you.

Ted and I are just friends.

I know that's what you said, but you lied.

Okay?

It is so obvious to me that you have feelings for him.

No, I don't have feelings.

I see the way you look at him.

Just now.

Hey, hey, whoa, whoa.

What is going on here?

Would you like to tell him, Jessica?

Or should I?

Tell him what?

Your best woman over here has feelings for you.

Jess?

What is she talking about?

It's not true.

It is true.

I see the way she looks at you.

Jess?

Okay, look, Ted.

You and I have been best friends for like forever.

Okay?

And this is just an emotional time for everyone.

Right?

My best friend is getting married.

Okay?

To an amazing woman.

Yeah, you were mean in high school.

Okay?

But Ted is right.

You have become an incredible person.

And where does that leave me?

I know I am going to see less of you.

Jess?

I am fine, okay?

I have been thinking about it.

And look, I am happy for you, okay?

I really am.

But everything is changing.

And I just...

I just thought we never would.

Kim?

I do not have feelings for Ted, okay?

We are just best friends.

And I really, really don't want to lose my best friend.

Jess, I am getting married.

I am not going anywhere.

Look...

I have known Jess our whole life.

And we have never had feelings like that ever.

And if she did, I would know.

Yeah, I mean...

Seeing your fiancé is like kind of homely.

Not into it.

I am sorry, you guys.

It is just...

crazy wedding emotions, I guess.

It is all good.

You know, weddings can be...

turbulent.

I am going to go back inside and take your anger out with little balls of paint.

Okay.

This peanut butter tastes strange.

It is almond butter.

Almonds?

Why almonds?

Why not peanuts?

It is less fat.

Actually, it is not bad.

So, what grand realization did you come to?

What makes you think I came to some sort of grand realization?

Well, let us see.

You are here on your day off.

It is early.

It is early even for you.

You are wearing sweatpants and a hoodie.

Is it complicated?

How so?

Either you realize you like Ted or you realize you do not like him.

It is one or the other.

No.

It is worse than that.

I realize that there is something we have not been considering this entire time.

What is that?

It does not matter if I like Ted or if I do not like Ted.

Yesterday, I realized that I do like Ted.

I mean, like him.

Great!

I do.

Yesterday, I also realized that Ted does not like me.

Oh.

You are right.

I never thought of that.

Which is strange because I usually think of everything.

I must be getting old.

I think I like peanut butter better.

My mouth is dry.

So, we have progressed from cupcakes to popcorn for dinner.

Well, at least it was a vegetable.

Once.

Ted is coming over.

We are watching scary movies.

Justin, Ted's scary movie night.

Classic.

Yeah.

Do you think you are going to be able to

keep the tradition alive after he is married?

I am not sure.

I mean, would you want your husband hanging

around with some other woman watching movies?

Probably not.

You know what?

It's strange.

I always thought Ted liked like you.

Really?

Yeah, just the vibe I have always had.

Oh well.

What?

What?

Did I just stuff it to my face?

No.

That's good.

No.

Hey.

You like Kim, right?

Yeah.

She is awesome.

I mean she looks like her father.

You come to movie night with me, right?

I'm glad.

It's not like I need permission to hang out with you.

Besides, she's happier with me hanging out here with

you than if I was having a bachelor party, right?

Yeah, smart.

So we went out the other day and Kim got me coffee.

Okay.

Yeah, but she got me coffee with like a lot of cream and sugar.

Oh no, but you take it black.

No.

Well, you used to take it with a bunch of cream and sugar and then you switched from

two creams and two sugars to two milks and two sweeteners

because in college you thought that was healthier.

And now you straight up copied me and you get black coffee now.

See?

You know.

Yeah, I don't think it matters if she knows your coffee order, right?

Well, I mean, shouldn't two people who are getting

married know each other the way you and I know each other?

I don't think it matters how long you've known each other, right?

I think what matters is the amount of time

you're going to spend getting to know each other.

And I have a huge advantage.

I mean, I've had a lot of time to get to know Ted Cooper.

And Kim's just getting started.

You're right.

You're right, as usual.

But we gotta wrap this up.

I gotta go do a work thing.

No, no, no, no.

We're gonna go hang out with the guys.

No, I gotta do a work thing.

It just came up.

I got a big project for a big client.

We're gonna be up all night.

That's very true.

Probably till the morning.

Well, why did you come to move tonight?

Scary movie night.

Well, scary movie night.

I love scary movies.

Yeah, but we could be out with the gang right now, you know?

Yeah.

I'd take hanging out with you over anyone.

Yeah.

Me too.

Hey, guys.

Hey.

Ha.

Uh, scary movie night.

Okay.

Yeah, so I gotta run.

Oh.

Don't let me interrupt.

Oh, no.

You're not interrupting anything.

We were just... He has to go do a work thing.

He has a presentation in the... Mm-hmm.

Well, then I guess you need to get going.

Uh, yeah.

So, um...

Wanna stay?

Can't.

Uh, tell everybody I said hi.

Hi.

And I will make it up to them.

Sure.

Okay.

What the heck was that?

What?

Well, I...

I told you.

He like likes you.

Good luck dealing.

Bye.

I'm done with that.

I'm gonna be in my room.

And there was that kid that dressed as Marilyn

Monroe senior year of the Halloween dance.

And he tripped on the bleachers, bounced like three

feet up in the air, and landed with a dress on his face.

What was that kid's name again?

Ah, I can't remember.

Uh, Jess would know.

Jess.

Jess.

Jess.

What?

What was the name of the guy senior year dressed

as Marilyn Monroe for the Halloween dance?

Oh, um, Ben something.

Oh, that's right.

Ben Scott.

Ben Scott.

Oh, I love that guy.

Jess.

Are you okay?

Me?

Yeah, you seem a little distracted.

Oh, I'm just a bunch of wedding planning stuff on my mind.

Oh.

You're a little distracted.

Well, we heard that you and Kim had a fight in the parking lot.

It wasn't a fight.

It was nothing, really.

Was Kimberly Kentwood, the Queen of Mean, being her old self again?

No.

Kim is legitimately nice now.

Oh, sure she is.

It's probably all an act.

No, guys, she's changed.

A tiger never changes its stripes.

Yeah, if she's so nice, then why were you two arguing?

Kim thinks... she thinks I have feelings for Ted.

Yeah, and?

Well, she's gonna marry the guy, and she doesn't

want the best woman crushing on her fiancé.

You know, we all thought that you two would get married.

What?

Oh, yeah.

I think the whole school felt that way.

You guys were, like, always together.

Before class, lunch, after class.

Like, always.

And you guys had that special connection.

We were just friends.

And now he's marrying that jerk.

She is nice now, I'm telling you.

A tiger never changes its stripes.

I can't believe your wedding is so close.

You can't believe it?

I'm the one who was walking down the aisle.

I remember we used to hang around and imagine who we'd get married to.

I remember.

Famous actors.

Rich athletes.

A prince from a foreign land.

Big Ted.

Hey.

Okay, fine.

Maybe Ted wasn't the coolest kid in school.

You could say that again.

But people grow.

They evolve.

They change.

Maybe you two could, I don't know, be happy

that Ted grew up to be my real-life prince?

Kimberly Kentwood.

Melinda!

So, how'd it turn out?

Exquisite.

Probably some of my best work.

Yeah?

You excited to try it on?

So excited.

Is she coming?

So?

Kimberly!

What do you think?

Kim, you look beautiful.

Stunning.

Really?

Thanks, guys.

Megan!

Are you gonna cry?

Oh, it's nothing.

I'm just so happy for you.

We both are.

Ted is such a great guy.

Everyone likes him.

Yeah, it's a wonder that he's getting married and we aren't.

Oh, sweetie.

There's someone out there for everyone.

So, Lauren and I were talking and...

And...

And we're super happy for you, Kim.

Super happy.

Okay.

What's up?

I know you two.

I know when something's on your mind.

We've just always wanted what's best for you.

We feel protective of you.

All through high school, you made sure that we were treated like royalty.

Yeah.

You guys, I love you.

You're like my family.

And as your family, we just want to make sure

that you are absolutely ready for this next step.

We've been over this.

I'm ready.

I am absolutely ready.

We're just asking because it's so sudden.

And you two are so different.

So different.

Lauren and I always thought you and Mark were perfect for each other.

Are you sure you're over him and this isn't just a rebound?

Guys, Ted is everything a girl could ever want.

But is he everything you want?

Mark understood Kimberly Kentwood like most other people don't.

You guys used to talk for hours.

Yeah.

What do you and Ted talk about?

I don't know.

Stuff.

The wedding.

But what about after the wedding?

Guys, Ted is amazing.

Okay, he's unselfish and funny and warm.

He is.

But why don't you give Mark a call?

Just to make sure that nothing's still there.

And if you talk to him and you still feel that Ted is

the one, then we will be at your wedding all smiles.

Genuine smiles.

No.

No, absolutely not.

What do you have to lose?

Hello?

Ted?

Ted?

You there?

Just dropping off your text.

Kim?

Are you here?

Ted?

I know Ted's an amazing guy, but I just... I don't know sometimes, you know?

I don't know.

My friends keep telling me that it's just cold feet.

But what if it's not?

What if I'm not supposed to marry Ted?

I know.

I just... I just needed someone to talk to.

And you know me better than anyone.

I know.

And I love you too.

Hey, can I call you back?

Jessica?

What are you doing here?

Tiger never changes its stripes.

What?

Okay, I don't know what you think you heard, but it's not what it sounded like.

I heard everything!

You're gonna break up with Ted and you're gonna run back to your ex!

Okay.

Jess, that is not it at all.

Thought I'm home.

Hey, I see Jess's car.

Is she here?

I have to tell Ted.

What?

No!

Jessica!

Jess, wait!

Ted!

Jess, hey.

Hi.

What are you doing here?

I came to drop off your text.

Okay.

Thanks.

No, Ted.

When I got here, I heard a noise, so I went upstairs to your bedroom.

Okay, Jess.

What's going on?

She's gonna call off the wedding.

She's gonna... Kim?

It's not true, Ted.

She doesn't know what she's talking about.

You're a liar.

I heard you on your phone to your ex.

You were questioning the relationship.

I heard you tell your ex you love him.

Okay, Kim.

What's going on?

Do you not want to get married?

Of course I want to get married.

I've just... I've been having some pre-wedding jitters.

You know, cold feet.

But that's it, right?

Just... just cold feet?

Yes.

Cold feet, too.

Getting married is scary.

You should have talked to me.

Yeah.

Not to your ex, who you love.

But you hate your ex.

Of course I hate my ex!

Like I tried telling Jessica after I caught her

eavesdropping, I wasn't on the phone with my ex.

I was on the phone with my dad.

You told your dad?

Yes.

Ted, you have Jessica.

Okay?

I've always called my dad when I need someone to talk to.

Okay, this is sounding very convenient.

Here.

Look at my phone.

See who the last person I called was.

Well, yeah.

That's your dad's number.

Thank you.

Jess.

I'm so sorry.

Ted, I have told you that she has feelings for you.

Okay?

She's trying to break up this wedding.

I should go.

Jess.

Jessica.

What?

Is that what I think it is?

That's the... Jess, that's the deposit.

I told you they needed it by Tuesday or we're going to lose the location.

Wait a second.

Are you telling me that we don't have a wedding venue right now?

I... I can't fix it.

Okay?

We're getting married this weekend and we don't have a wedding venue.

Yeah, Jess.

I think you need to go.

And, um...

Maybe you shouldn't be at the wedding either.

Wherever it may be at this point.

I mean, that might be a bit much.

Really?

You think so?

I wouldn't want to ruin your special day.

Wow.

I know.

I mean... I know how to screw things up so badly.

I'm usually a pretty positive guy, but... Oh, I know.

I know.

I... I... I... I totally messed up and he's... he's my best friend.

What do I do?

I think you're going to have to figure this one out on your own.

I do know this.

A life is not defined by a single mistake or action.

It's a culmination of all thoughts and all actions.

So too is a relationship.

You're right.

You're...

I know what I'm going to do.

Thank... Thank you.

Thank you, you... you wise... wise old man.

Um... you're my ride.

I should have listened to you.

You guys were right about Jessica.

I never should have trusted her.

Well, what happened?

Ted gave her the deposit for our wedding venue and she never passed it along.

She completely sabotaged our entire wedding.

I'm telling you, she never wanted it to happen.

We told you, Kim.

I guess I just...

thought that we'd all moved on.

Hi, Kim.

Uh, it's Jessica Parks.

Oh, you remember me.

Cool.

Um, I'm good.

Thanks.

Remember at your wedding when you said if I ever need a

favor or anything to just, uh, you know, give you a call?

Well, uh...

Ring ring.

Hi.

Hi, Annie.

It's... it's Jessica Parks.

Yeah, um, remember that favor you owe me?

Yeah.

Well, um...

Hello?

Hey, Patrick.

It's Jessica.

Yeah.

I need a favor.

Okay, so remember, shoulders back, spine straight.

Go for it.

Good, good.

Front foot a little bit more...

Perfect.

Perfect.

Just one second.

Grams?

Oh, Theodore.

It's Grams.

I hope I'm not bothering you.

No, no, no.

Of course not.

What's going on?

Is everything okay?

Well...

This might sound silly, but I know you're getting married tomorrow.

Can you meet me in an hour?

I have something for you.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

I can do that.

Just tell me where.

Hello?

Oh, Kimberly, darling.

It's Ted's grandmother.

Oh, Grams.

So nice to hear from you.

Is everything okay?

Oh, yes, darling.

I'm fine.

There's something I'd like you to do for me.

Hey.

What are you doing here?

What?

Grams called me.

She told me that you wanted to meet me here.

That's strange.

Grams called me and said she wanted to meet me here.

What?

What's going on?

Sorry for the white lies, but we needed to make sure you both come.

Grams, why are we here?

Are you Ted Cooper of the Cooper-Kentwood wedding?

Yeah.

Where are you?

I'm with St. Joseph's Castle.

Somebody called my boss.

Well, they called my boss's boss's boss, actually, and pulled a few strings.

Uh, I'm sorry, a few strings?

We don't usually do this anymore, but here is a

special permit to hold a wedding here tomorrow.

Here?

We can have our wedding here?

We can have our wedding here?

Just sign here.

What?

This deposit's been paid.

The place is all yours.

10 a.m.

to midnight.

I hope that's enough time.

Yes, yes, of course it's enough time.

Like I said to the lady on the phone, you're responsible for your own setup,

so tables, chairs, but not... Okay, yeah.

Thank you.

Ted, I told Jess that it was my dream to have our wedding here.

I can't believe she pulled this off.

Apparently, over the last couple of years, helping so many people to plan their

wedding, she's earned a few favors that she called in.

You guys call all your guests.

Give them the new location.

Jess called in a few more favors.

We're gonna have this place set up and looking

beautiful first thing tomorrow morning.

Ted!

I'm so happy!

I'm gonna go look around.

Okay.

She's quite a girl.

Yeah.

Yeah, she is.

I was talking about Jess.

Thank you all for coming.

I know Jess really appreciates it.

Listen, we only have a few hours to get this

place ready for a wedding, so let's get at it.

I want everything to be perfect, but I

don't want Ted or Kim to know that I'm here.

I'm sure they forgive you.

Here's your walking.

Let's do this.

That's good, girls.

That's good.

Yeah, that's perfect.

Thanks, guys.

Thanks.

Patrick.

Yeah?

Yeah.

Make sure you put one of those centerpieces on every single table.

Those are Kim's favorite flowers.

You got it.

Okay, and move the gift table.

It's too close to the head table.

Copy that.

Patrick.

Yeah?

Can you check on Doris?

I think she's plucking the flowers again.

Doris, don't pluck the flowers.

Don't put the flowers on the table.

They're going to...

Did you guys hear something?

No.

No.

Huh.

Guess it was nothing.

It's perfect.

Cake's coming in.

The

cake looks beautiful.

Is it close?

I don't know.

How's everything going?

Oh, everything's great.

It's going to be beautiful.

But listen, we have a major issue.

Quick.

Quick.

What's with the shopping?

Sorry.

Sorry.

I freaked out.

You could have pushed my hip right out of place.

Shoot.

Shoot.

Kim's coming over here.

Listen, there's something I need to tell you.

Uncle Jack.

So nice of you to call.

I know.

I'm so sorry you and Aunt Pearl couldn't make it.

That was fun.

Yeah.

Real right.

Listen, we have a problem.

Oh, no.

The door's hitting on the caterer again.

No.

Well, maybe.

Oh, that is so sweet of you to say, Uncle Jack.

Listen, I promise Ted and I will make our way overseas as soon as we can, okay?

Okay.

Love you, too.

That was close.

Listen, you have to listen to me.

We have a problem.

Okay, what?

No one's seen Ted.

No one's seen Ted?

No one's seen Ted?

This is heavy.

Jessica!

Mrs. Cooper!

Jessica, thank goodness you're here.

You can't find Ted?

We've looked everywhere.

He's not at his house, his gym, anywhere.

You tried calling yourself, obviously.

Straight to voicemail.

Jessica, I know you two had a fight, but you know him better than anyone.

Do you have any idea where he might be?

I think I might know a place.

Okay, I'm gonna go there now, and you try to stall the wedding ceremony,

and I'll bring him here as soon as possible.

Please, Jessica, hurry.

I'm on it.

I think I might know where Ted is.

Do you have the keys to the van?

No.

But I have something I think might help.

Ted?

Ted?

Fancy seeing you here.

You still mad at me?

No.

Yay.

Points for Jess.

No, no points for Jess.

Yeah, you got Kim her dream wedding venue, but you messed up everything else.

I didn't mean to.

I know.

You accused her of cheating on me, wanting to

get back with her ex the week of our wedding.

Yeah.

Definitely no points for that one.

I was just living in the past.

Our past.

I mean, I...

I was convinced that Kim was just gonna be that same mean queen from high school.

It's not who she is anymore.

You have to let people change sometimes.

Then become the better versions of themselves, and I...

I didn't let Kim do that.

I just kept jumping to conclusions.

Yeah.

You weren't the only one.

What do you mean?

It's this wedding.

I just rushed into it.

What?

Sometimes people fall in love quickly.

Yeah.

I think I loved the idea of marrying Kim.

You know?

Yeah.

I was stuck in the past, too.

I still thought of myself as Big Ted.

I thought that the prom queen wanted to date me.

Marry me.

Just... Look, you haven't been Big Ted in years.

I mean, even when you were, you were, like, the best guy in high school.

I mean, why do you think I stuck around for so long?

I mean...

Whether you're Big Ted or, you know, Unky Successful Ted...

You are still Ted.

You are an amazing, funny, smart guy.

Who's, like, you know, a little scared of her.

Yes.

You've always been my best friend.

And the thought that you weren't gonna be at my wedding just killed me.

Me, too.

Here, now.

And there's still time to talk to Kim and get

everything figured out before you guys get married.

That's the thing.

I'm not sure that Kim is the one that I'm meant to marry.

I don't know, just...

Let me think.

Should I marry Kim?

This decision is way too big for me to make for you.

You know what?

My house...

Kim said that you had feelings for me.

Is that true?

Do you love me?

I do love you.

Best friends.

Best... Best friends.

And go marry the prom queen.

And, um...

As your best woman...

It is my duty to inform you that you have...

An amazing woman waiting for you.

And, you know... What I hear... Is a beautifully decorated wedding venue...

That has single-handedly used up my life accumulation of favors.

It's my job to get you there.

No matter what.

Let's go.

Okay.

Um, close your eyes.

It's bad luck to see the bride before the ceremony.

Um...

What?

Um...

Kim?

Ted.

Don't worry.

They're close.

Ah, no, it's okay, Ted.

I think you can open your eyes.

I knew you'd be with her.

No, Kim, it's not like that.

I swear.

No.

I didn't mean it like that.

I just meant that if anybody could find Ted when nobody else could...

Mmm... It's gonna be you, Jeff.

I am so sorry that I'm late and...

No, Ted, it's actually a good thing.

While I was here waiting for you, it gave me some time to think.

And...

everybody here needs to be honest with each other and themselves.

What do you mean?

Ted, we rushed into this.

And yes, I really do love you, but...

I'm just not so sure that I'm... in love with you.

And I'm not totally sure that you're in love with me either.

So... so we date a little bit longer.

We could push the wedding even... Ted.

I've watched you two over these past couple of

weeks while we were putting the wedding together.

And the truth is...

I want what you guys have.

I'm not trying to hurt you, Ted.

I'm just trying to be honest with you.

And I guess...

maybe for the first time...

honest with myself.

I was really mean in high school.

Marrying Big Ted?

Well, that would prove that I'm not that mean girl anymore.

But I don't know.

Maybe that's not the best... foundation on which to build a marriage.

Do you understand?

Prom queen and Big Ted.

It would suck it, huh?

I guess if I'm being honest...

then we were right.

And I think it's time for the two of you to be honest with each other.

Okay?

I've seen... you two together.

And there is way more here than just friends.

I'm sorry, Jess.

For being mean to you.

Not just to Pete Ball or Ted's house, but for... all the times I've ever been gay.

Regret is a really horrible thing.

So, can you just figure this thing out between you two already?

Where have you been?

And Kim, is she leaving?

Yeah.

Yeah, Mom.

There's...

no wedding today.

Baby.

Are you okay?

What happened?

Yeah.

Actually...

Kim just wasn't...

isn't the right person for me.

Well, it's better you figure that out now...

than not years down the road.

Thank you...

for finding our teddy bear again.

Teddy bear?

Don't.

Is that, like, new or... Don't.

No.

Why didn't I know about this?

No.

No.

No.

No.

Why didn't you tell me about this?

No.

This is not a thing.

Oh my gosh, this cake is so good.

You know, this might be the most beautiful wedding

you've ever planned where nobody actually got married.

For you, I would plan an infinite amount of non-weddings.

I'm still getting paid, right?

Well, they can't all end in disaster.

What?

What are you staring at?

You.

You know what I'm thinking?

I think I do.

Well, if anyone knows me well enough, it would be you.

Oh, what are you thinking?

How overwhelming my desire is...

to shove this cake in your face.

That's exactly what I was thinking.

Like I said before, I love weddings.

I love everything about them.

There's something magical about weddings.

Family and friends coming together to watch

two people promise to love one another forever.

I love weddings so much that I plan them right down to the last detail.

But I'd never have planned this.

Or did I?
