I don't know what to do.

I'm sorry,I'm still working.

It was nicemeeting you. Thank you.

Thank you.

[stammers]But I don't even...

know your name.

[♪♪]

[Michelle]: Did you paythe vendor fee

for the wedding expo?

Not yet.

So, I was going throughthe books last night.

Okay, and?

And...

Our cash is downto a trickle.

[sighs] This coupleis heaven sent.

The timing couldn't bemore perfect.

I sincerely doubt we'll getto do what we just did

for the Jenkins wedding,

but you never know.

Oh, well, these twoseem so meant for each other.

What approach are you thinking?

What I always do,

find out what their dream isand make it happen.

I just hope I can give themeverything they want.

I just hopethey give us a check.

All I know iswhatever happens,

we can't affordto lose this job.

-Hi, guys!-Hi, guys.

Come on in.

You guys areright on time.

I like that.

It's so nice to see you.

[♪♪]

Okay, let's startat the beginning.

Where didyou two meet?

At work.

We work forthe same start-up company.

Alex is a computerprogrammer,

I do the graphics.

Nice.

Sometimes, I liketo tie the venue

to where the couple met,

but I don't reallythink an office

is the wedding vibewe're going for.

[laughing]

Well, where did you goon your first date?

We wenton a harbor cruise.

We had our first kisson the bow,

just like in "Titanic."

That's so romantic.

Well, let'stalk food.

What kind of cuisinedo you like?

Pretty much anything.

Yeah.

[laughs] Okay.

We're gonna have tonarrow that down.

Um, how aboutD.J. or band?

Yes.

Okay, great.Which one?

Oh, I thoughtyou just meant

do we wanta D.J. or a band,

and yes, we wantone of those.

Yes, I... I agree.

Okay, I know there area lot of decisions

that you have to make,

and in the beginning,

it can be really stressful.

Which is why we're here,

to help you makethose decisions.

When you work with"Weddings by Libby,"

we vow to give youthe perfect wedding.

[chuckling]

That... that's a joke.

A wedding vow?

[chuckles awkwardly[

Look, I have tobe honest.

We are totallyoverwhelmed.

Yeah, sometimes,we think

we should justskip the stress

and go downto City Hall.

Look, my mom and daddid just that.

They never had a real wedding,

and that's somethingthey've always regretted.

I don't want thatto happen to you.

[♪♪]

I wish the Bridal Expohappened more than once a year.

Yeah, me too.

At this point,we could use it monthly.

Check that, weekly.

Well, I'm excitedto see Alex and Annie.

Yeah.

They were so closeto signing a contract.

Do you thinkthey'll be here?

Oh, definitely.

They promised.

[♪♪]

Look at thiscraziness.

How am Isupposed to compete?

You can compete

'cause you're not sellingdresses or cakes.

You're sellingyour book,

a future bestseller.

You don't needa fancy set-up.

If you say so.

Okay, lift it...

'Chelle, I need youto lift.

Here, let mehelp you.

Oh, thanks.

A little higher.

Got it.

Wow. Thank youfor that.

You're a life saver...

Hey, it's you.

Um...

I thought I'd nevergoing to see you again.

I know, me too.

Um, I'm actually gladyou're around.

We needed some muscle.

Well, Ben Reynoldsat your service.

Your booth isreally impressive.

Oh, thanks, but, uh,that's all Michelle.

She's a tech genius.

Ah, but she'sthe people person

who makes it all go.

Anything thatspeaks to the heart

is all Libby.

You're not getting a raisefor that.

I would never.

Well, besides saving the day,what do you do?

Uh, well, I'm a writer.

Well, I just wrotemy first book,

"Wedding Day Do's and Don'ts."

That sounds likea really good read,

right up my alley.

So, tell me something,

I know you're a good dancer,

but I don't even know your name.

Oh!

Libby Boland.

As in "Weddings by Libby."

Nice to officially meet you,"Weddings by Libby."

Nice to meet you, too,"Book by Ben."

[chuckles]

You know where my booth is,

so if you ever need anything...

come on by.

Thanks, yeah, I'll do that.

Hey,

"Weddings by Libby,"

this booth isn't gonnaset itself up.

Right.

Thank you, again.

That was so nice of you.

Yeah.

I'm gonna go.

My pleasure.

I'm just gonna be over here.

If you need me.

Little helpover here?

Anytime...

you wanna help.

Oh, I'm sorry.

I'm so sorry.

[♪♪]

Here you are.

How's it going?

Amazing.

I've been so busy,

I haven't even had a chanceto have lunch.

Oh, I know,

I always forget to eatat these things.

Yeah,

actually, I was kidding.

I haven't even sold a book,

and I'm starting to think

coming herewas a terrible idea.

I'm sure you're justoff to a slow start.

It'll get better.

Come on, I'll introduce youto some people.

Are people going to rememberyour bridesmaid dresses?

Uh, no.

Your invitations?

No way.

But your guestswill remember your cake

if...

it is a Cake Kyngwedding cake.

There you go.

It certainlylooks amazing.

Oh, his cakes are likelittle slices of melted heaven.

Please, be my guests.

Ah, ah, ah!

You know betterthan that, Libby.

Wedding style, please.

[chuckling]

Mm!

Oh, my God...

That's got to be the bestcake I've ever tasted.

And always remember,

the proof is in the pudding,and the pudding...

"...Is in the cake!"

That's my girl.

Oh. Oh, dear.

We are "Body by Bobby."

I'm Bobby D,

and this is Bobby G.

And we want you

to look your bestfor your wedding!

Brides-to-be,when your big day rolls around,

do you wanna be fator do you wanna be fit?

They scare me.

Uh, yeah. Me too.

[Bobby D.]: Come on!

[Bobby G.]: Whoo!

[laughing] Holy...

Okay, let's go.

There's no way that this isthat guy's first rodeo.

Oh, it's not hers,either.

I'd say this is abouther third go-around.

You think?

Oh, I know.

I plannedher second wedding.

Oh...

[chatting quietly]

So, you've beento this thing before?

Uh, it's my third year.

It's kind of the best wayto drum up new business,

since there aren't reallya lot of repeat customers

in the wedding game.

It's your first year?

Yeah, yeah.

My publisher signed me up,

thought it was a good wayto create more buzz.

To be honest,

I've actually never seenan author here before,

but I thinkthat actually

makes youa trailblazer, so...

Right, yeah.

No, I certainly feel likeI'm in the wilderness.

It's a lot biggerthan I expected.

So what's this book of yours allabout?

Weddings, of course.

I had a theory,

the do's and the don'ts,

and went with it,

and here I am.

Okay, and what isthis theory of yours?

Well, I believe

what you do or don't doon your wedding day

will affectthe rest of your marriage.

I completely agree.

So, um, what do you do

when you're notplanning weddings?

Um, actually,

"Weddings by Libby"is pretty much a 24-7 job.

But I feed my goldfish.

And once a month,I go ballroom dancing.

What?

Get out of here, no way.

Yeah.

I dance, too.

Every Thursday nightat Monty's Ballroom.

[laughs]

Perhaps there's moredancing in our future.

We'll see.

Come and see one of my favoritedresses of the season.

You are goingto love it.

[gasps]

Isn't it exquisite?

It's gorgeous.

It's absolutely beautiful.

Oh, careful, honey.

It's bad luck toshow the groom the dress

before the big day.

Oh, no, it's okay,

we're just friends.

Oh, really?

Because you'resuch a lovely couple.

[chuckles]

Welcome, everybody, welcome!

Is everybody ready and excited

to kick off the first panel

of this year's Bridal Expo? Huh?

Give me a kiss.

Well, I've gotta tell you,

we have got the best vendors around,

and they are all here...

I met those twoat the Jenkinsons' wedding.

They are so in love.

Believe me, I know.

Alex was my roommatein college.

Shut up,that's crazy.

Scout's honor.

They're notthe only ones in love.

Look around,

endorphins firingeverywhere I look.

Now, our first speaker today,

she is an absolute gem.

She's our favoritewedding planner,

the one, the only,Miss Libby Boland.

[applause]

Brides and grooms-to-be,

everything startswith the wedding.

That day should beperfectly romantic,

and exactly what you want.

I don't want youto look back and say,

"Oh, well,it was nearly perfect."

Every detail,

from the venue,to the caterer, to the cake,

should be exactly what you want.

Expecting perfection

is not expecting too much.

You only get married once.

Well, most of you.

[laughter]

I insist only on one thing,

let your wedding day

be the weddingyou've always dreamed of.

No expense should be spared.

I promise you,

no dream is too big.

Thank you.

[applause]

Isn't she something. Thank you, Libby Boland.

Well, now, let's get ready to welcome

a newcomer to the wedding game,

long-time and successful financial planner,

he's just written his very first book,

the soon to be bestseller "Wedding Do's and Don'ts",

please welcome Mr. Ben Reynolds.

[applause]

As I look across this room,I see a lot of smiling faces.

Faces filled with love,

maybe even fear.

"Will the foodbe good enough?"

"Will everyonehave fun?"

"Will my wedding beas good as my sister's?"

[crowd chuckles]

The decisions you make today

and in the weeks leading up toyour big event,

well, they'll determinehow you live

for years to come.

And my question is,

are you willing to sacrificeyour financial future

for one day?

"Wedding Day Do's and Don'ts,"

it's a guide

to help with allthe hard choices.

I know right it seems like

everything has to be perfect,

and it's easy to getcaught up in the hype

and all the shiny objects.

But marriage,

it's about a life together,

so let's get realistichere, folks,

and if I may becompletely honest,

it's time to dump the big event.

Thank you.

[applause]

Well, you can'thave a wedding

without a delicious cake,am I right?

[laughs ingratiatingly]

If there's one person

that can deliveron that promise,

it's our very own Cake Kyng.

Come on up here.

[applause]

Yeah, thank you.

What's that?

Um...

real-life experience, yeah.

You've got to do itto learn, right?

-Excuse me.-Thank you.

Ben, can I see youfor a second?

Pardon me.Pardon NE.

Hey, that wasspectacular.

It was better thanI ever expected.

Spectacular? Really?

Are you kidding?

You really got peopletalking around here.

You know what I think,

I think you'regoing to blow up

this whole wedding game.

That seems likean exaggeration.

Ben, I wasin the audience.

You didn't see allthe people nodding along?

You arethe alternative choice,

and that, my friend,sells books.

I'm the alternativechoice?

The alternativechoice you are.

Come on, we gotta get youback in the booth,

you've gotautographs to sign.

Uh...

All right, sweet.

Yeah. Let's do that.

[elevator dings]

So, Libby, I--

I really don't feel like talkingright now.

Why are you following me?

I'm not following you.

Obviouslyyou're upset,

and I'm sorry,

I don't knowwhat I said exactly.

"Dump the big event?"

Is that really what you said?

Because I'm pretty sureI heard it.

Right.

I was actually a littleworried about that line,

but it did seemto resonate, right?

You do realize thatwe're at a "Bridal Expo"?

We sellthe big event.

It's all about the big event.

We don't dump said big event.

Bridal Expo, right,

that would explain allthe white dresses downstairs.

Yeah, that wouldexplain the dresses,

and the florists,and the caterers,

and the venue representatives,

and you know,and wedding planners.

Everyone here,myself included,

we make a livingbecause of "the big event,"

so thank you very much.

I'm just offeringa different perspective.

A "small event" perspective.

Well, that's not gonna work.

Last year's theme was"Go big or go home."

So, please, go home.

Let's thinkoutside of the box.

Have you guys consideredFranklin Gardens?

Where's that?

Hawaii.

Place looksincredible.

Here isthe tropical garden,

where you couldsay your vows.

This resort offers everything,

specialty shops,multiple restaurants.

They even a heart-shaped pool.

[laughs]

This is aone-of-a-kind experience

for you and your guests,

a romanticweekend wedding

that you will never forget.

You will absolutely loveFranklin Gardens.

I swear, it's likethey've trained their birds

to chirp on cue.

[laughing]

Oh, and Cassandra,

the spa is to die for.

It's how every brideshould be pampered

before her wedding day.

That does sound amazing.

Oh, sorry.

Alex, Annie!

Hey, Michelle hasthe contract for you to sign.

Oh, uh, actually, we'rejust heading to an event,

but we'll come by after.

Oh, of course. Have fun.

All right.

-See you.-See you.

Sorry about that.

So, if this is somethingthat interests you,

I would suggestpicking a date now,

because they getcompletely booked.

It's a lovely place,

but...

We saw Ben Reynoldsspeak, and, uh...

afterwards,we bought his book.

It's like he saysin the first chapter,

"I don't see whatall the big fuss is about."

Well, Daniel,

the "fuss" is the fact

that this is your oneand only wedding day.

Something you'll cherishfor the rest of your life.

She does have a point.

But, Honey, I...

just don't think we're readyto make that decision.

Can we talkto you tomorrow?

Of course.

Great.

Thanks again.

Thank you.

Talk to you soon.

What just happened?

I'll tell youwhat just happened.

We lost a client,

and they lost the weddingof their dreams.

[♪♪]

...You can spendthousands of dollars

for a resort near the water,

or you could get marriedon the beach

with a permit that costsa few hundred bucks.

Thank you.

In other words,

the resort is a "Don't"and the beach is a "Do."

Oh, hi.

Hey, everyone,

have you met"Weddings by Libby"?

Thank you, "Book by Ben."

Hi, everyone.

"Weddings by Libby"is down on your left.

The placewhere dreams come true.

No hard feelings?

Not one.

Ah, on the house.

Please, I insist.

Would you like me to sign it?

No, thank you.

Can I take youto dinner?

I'll take a rain check.

Everybody'sgot to eat.

I think we did pretty wellfor our first day.

We've got at leastsix interested couples, and...

Libby...

you want to... focus herefor a few minutes?

[scoffs]

"Consider the bangfor your buck.

Does a limo get you thereany better than..."

Seriously, who pays$16.95 for this?

Except for me,

'cause I'm doing research.

So it's one of those,

"Know yourcompetition" things?

Oh, my gosh, he's notour competition.

He has a little bookhe's selling.

So what?

So you do carewhat he thinks?

I don't.

Clearly, you do.

No, everybody'stalking about it,

and I figuredit can't hurt to read it.

[scoffs]Give me a break.

Listen to this.

"When shopping forthe bridesmaids' dresses,

"consider somethingelegant but versatile.

"Let's face it,

"you pick some crazy colorto match your place settings,

and those dresseswill never be worn again."

He can't be serious.

There's a reason thatyou pick a color scheme.

Well, he iskind of right

about neverwearing it again.

I've got three dresses

that will forever remainin the back of my closet.

We are...

"Body...

by Bobby."

Are you ready!

Let's go,on my count!

One! Two!

And punch.

One, two, three...

He's suggestingthat the bride and groom

have a friend go downto the flower mart

the night beforethe wedding

and purchase flowers.

So the flowersare a "Do,"

but the floristis a 'Don't"?

Yeah, and thenhe expects these amateurs

to actually arrangethe flowers.

He says it will get more peopleinvolved in the ceremony.

[laughs] What a joke.

"Music,

"the more you add,the more it costs.

"You start with a soloist

"and a string quartetat the ceremony,

"then a band or a D.J.for the reception.

Instead, create a song list...

I'm sorry,

is he actually suggestingpulling out an iPod

and hitting shuffle?

-Yes!-Ooh...

"If you control the music,

you never have to worry aboutthe chicken dance again."

Well, the chicken danceis awkward.

Are you agreeing with him?

See? It's a little awkward.

Don't do that.

-♪ Na-na-na-na-na-na-na... -Do not do that.

It's awkward!

Wow, your twitter feedis really blowing up.

Oh, what arethey saying?

Cindy B tweeted,

"Blown awayby the panel,

loved Libby'sspeech."

Mm.

Purplesky says,

"Weddings By Libby"had the best booth.

It's where creativity meetswedding awesome-ness."

Well, Purplesky is brilliant.

I'll say so.

There are alsoa lot of tweets linked

to the Bridal Expo page.

All pretty good.

"Libby rocks."

"Libby is stillthe queen of the ball."

Oh.

What?

Oh, it's nothing.

It's just...

Well, they can'tall be good.

I can take it.

From PattyCakes,

"The big wedding is old school.

"The trend at the Expo

is to dump the big event."

"Old School?"How is it old school?

She wrote that on our page?

Actually, it was retweeted.

From guess who?

Yeah, no, I know who it is.

He's gota ton of hits

on his twitterfollowing, too--

You know, good for him.

Good for him,let's just start fresh.

Okay.

Facebook page.

I posted a lotof new pictures.

Mm. Good.

We got 132 likes.

Nice.

Including Ben Reynolds.

What?

He liked our page?

Why does that surprise you?

He likes you.

[scoffs] Oh, my gosh...

And you like him.

I do not like him.

Okay, Libs,

if you say so.

I should go.

We have anotherearly start tomorrow morning.

Okay, even ifI did like him,

it couldn't ever work.

I mean, we'recomplete opposites.

Well, opposites attract.

It's impossible.

Everything I stand for,everything I love,

he hates.

Libs...

please listen to me.

You spend all of your energy

making your clients'dreams come true.

You livethrough the romance

of other people.

When are you going to stoprunning the show

and let yourself fall in love?

You like this guy.

So, for once,

why not follow your heart?

[♪♪]

Good morning.

Good morning.

I saw that you likedour Facebook page.

I did.

That was nice.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

I read your booklast night.

I don't agree withmuch of the content,

but you write well.

Thank you.

I think.

Did you major in English?

I majored in economicsand philosophy.

Hmm.

Is that where you formulatedyour theories

on love and marriage?

No, that came later.

[elevator dings]

Hmm.

Going my way?

[gasps in delight]

If it isn'tthe happy couple.

Still not getting married?

[together]: No.

Oh, well,that's too bad.

You make such a lovely pair.

[♪♪]

Thank you.

So, what made you decideto be "Weddings by Libby"?

Really?

Yeah, I want to know.

[chuckles] Okay.

Um, when I wassix years old,

I was a flower girlin my aunt's wedding.

I was so excited,

I got to weara dressy dress,

and get my hair done,and carry a bouquet.

I bet you madea really cute flower girl.

[scoffs] Please.I was adorable.

So, you'resix years old,

you're a flower girl,

and you foundyour calling?

Oh, I didn'tfinish my story.

Oh, please, go on.

So, after the weddingcame the reception,

and, oh, it was likethis enchanted world,

of music, and dancing,and food.

They even had thisspecial kids' table,

and it had hot dogs,pineapple pizza,

and fruity drinks.

I found my happy place.

So, like I said,you're six years old,

you're a flower girl,

and you foundyour calling.

Well, yeah, but I had totalk about the reception,

It makes the story pop.

It does make it pop,

Thank you.

And it's nice to know

that you're impressedby hot dogs,

pineapple pizza,and fruity drinks.

I was six.

Hi! Libby...

I loved youon the panel.

Thank you.

Mind if I ask youa question?

Of course not.

Well,

my fiance and I

were thinking about havinga wedding on a train.

Do you think that wouldbe a romantic way

to get married?

One of the most romanticweddings I ever planned

was at a train station.

And if you guyswant to travel

to a new destination,

you could rent a whole caror several cars.

So, how muchdoes it cost

to rent one ofthose cars?

Um, I mean, it depends.

You have to factor inthe time of year,

and the amount of people,

and how many hours you'd want.

Ben...

what's your take?

Um...

Well, I-I don't know much

about the costof renting a train,

but if you've read my book,

you'll seethat I'm a big proponent

of combining activitiesand function.

So, if trains are your thing,

then you couldhave the ceremony

on the wayto the honeymoon.

Ben, do you think thatsame idea would work

in Vegas?

I don't see why not.

Trains run 24/7

to the downtown heart of Vegas.

It's Vegas, baby.

Why not justget married by Elvis?

Why not? I like Elvis.

and it could make forsome fun wedding photos.

I'm sorry, but Elvisis not romantic at all.

You do believe in romance,don't you?

Well, big budgetdoesn't mean romance.

You can makeany situation romantic.

I am sorry, Ben,

but you do not knowthe first thing about romance.

Pardon me, folks,I will be right back.

Hey, wait.

There's no reasonto get personal.

You intentionallyundermined me.

I did not.

When you sit there and say, "Whyspend money

"on an event thatyou're gonna remember forever

when you can havea quickie wedding in Sin City?"

That is underminingmy expertise.

I was asked my opinion.

All I offeredwas an alternative answer.

Well, congratulations,

you had a theory,and you wrote a book.

Weddings are my life,

and I for oneam not interested

in your alternative choices.

So please,take your boyish smile

and your charming personality,

and go find a woman

who enjoysbeing married by Elvis.

Boyish smileand charming personality?

Thank you?

I think.

This is new,

a magicianat the reception?

Oh, Alex, your brotherwould just love that,

don't you think?

Probably.

Luckily it's our wedding,not his.

Everybody loves magic.

Want to see a demo, folks?

Yeah.

Sure.

All right.

And you guysare getting married?

Wedding rings.

Free of charge.

Wow.

Want to seeanother trick?

-Mm-hmm.-Yeah.

I could watch this all day.

[muttering] Not unlessyou can make people disappear.

Is this where you gotyour inspiration

for Davidand Samantha?

Well, some of it,

but mostly fromlearning about them.

Just like I'm gettingto know the two of you.

See, the idea is

to customizethe wedding to your dream.

So, if you want fireworks,

fireworks it is.

If you wantbig, beautiful centerpieces,

then you should have that.

The important thingto think about is

what makes you happy?

No regrets.

Well, happy is knowing

that I'm marryingmy best friend.

[chuckles]

You guys are so sweet.

I loved whatyou did for Samantha.

The way she arrived inthat beautiful Bentley,

it was like a fairy tale.

[talking quietly]

Why don't you guys go downto Cake Kyng's booth,

get started with some samples?

I'll meet you therein a few minutes.

Okay.

Yesterday, we met with"Weddings by Libby."

Great,

but expensive.

I understand.

And you saidyou want to have kids,

and kids are expensive,

so let's planan affordable wedding.

Sounds great.

So glad we found you.

Me too.

Um...

I'll just be a moment.

Excuse me, folks.

What is this?

Uh, wedding consultant?

Yes.

"Wedding Consultant,"

what exactly is it?

Well, uh, a lot of peoplewere asking for my advice,

so I thought

I'd branch out.

Do you know what you're doing?

Uh, consulting?

You are stealing my clients!

They--

Sir, I owe you

a debt of gratitude.

Okay. Why would that be?

Well, I own the best,

and only,

Drive-Thru Wedding Chapelin all of Nevada,

and since your Vegasshout-out

at the panel,

I actually had peoplestopping by my booth.

I've been comingto this expo

for 10 years

and I have never hadso much foot traffic.

No, wait a minute,

it's a drive-thruwedding chapel?

Like, a fast food drive-thru?

Exactly.

It used to be a bank,

I converted it.

You don't even have toget out of your car.

Interesting.

Wow.

This is classic.

If it's even possible,

you have reachedthe absolute bottom.

Wait, okay,

so a drive-thru weddingisn't for everybody--

Oh. Oh, well, goodenough for you?

If I was in a rush, yes.

Ha!

You know what,

I do not want youto like my Facebook page.

I'm not even surewe should be friends.

Facebook friendsor real friends?

Take your pick.

I hope we haven'tcaused you a problem.

No worries.

Every problem has a solution.

I hope.

And this one is called"The Fairy Princess."

Oh,

and hereshe comes now.

I need chocolate.

Immediately.

Oh, my gosh...

Libby?

Are you okay?

You look like you've seenFrankenstein's bride.

I'm fine.

This is delicious.

Oh, and you knowit's delicious

because "The proofis in the pudding, and..."

[together]: "The puddingis in the cake."

Wedding dress shoppingis always my favorite part.

More than anything else,

the dress makes a womanfeel like a bride.

They're all so beautiful.

I know, right?

In my opinion, this isthe hardest decision

you're going tohave to make,

because they haveso many options.

You have classic,A-line, long, short,

elegant, sassy...

Oh...

Huh...

I notice there's, uh,no prices on these dresses.

Oh...

you have marvelous taste.

That is an haute coutureNena Lang

with a pleated bodice.

You would lookabsolutely radiant

in that dress.

In fact, we're doinga Bridal fashion show today,

and I would love to see youon the runway

modeling that very dress.

Really?

Me? A model?

Come back at 4:00,we'll get you ready.

We'll do your hair and makeup.

That's fantastic.

Then you get to seewhat you look like first-hand

as a beautiful bride.

Honey?What do you think?

It's, uh...

It's amazing.

[feedback whines]

Thank you.

Thank you all for coming.

You are about to see the newest

and most exquisite wedding dresses available

in the market today.

So, here we go,

the hottest trends in dream dresses.

[♪♪]

[applause]

First up

is an ivory strapless princess-style dress

with a Chantilly lace bodice.

Isn't she lovely?

How'sthe groom-to-be?

I got problems,my brother.

Problems?What do you mean?

You're in love.

Yeah, exactly.

This wedding is goingto break the bank.

...high-low gown with a removable skirt.

[applause]

And those of you who like the sweetheart neckline,

this one comes with a lovelyantique lace overlay.

I mean, Annie wantsthe biggest

and best of everything,

and I don't wantto disappoint her.

And now for my favorite.

This dress is a Nena Lang.

[applause]

This has a pleated bodice and a spectacular mermaid skirt.

Absolutely stunning, isn't it?

All right, lookat that dress. Beautiful.

Do you have any idea

how much that costs?

She does look good.

I'm serious.

I mean--

At first...

it was the dress,

then it was the cake,

and thenthe flower arrangements.

And now? She wantsto have the wedding

at a five-star resort,

with fireworks.

She left outthe horse and carriage?

[scoffs] For now.

If I may offer some advice?

Please.

Don't makethe same mistake I did.

Know what, let's go grab a beerand we'll talk about it.

Actually, there's a greatspreadsheet in my book

you might findhelpful.

Benny, you'rean absolute lifesaver.

[♪♪]

Here he comes again.

Do you still thinkhe's not the competition?

I don't knowwhat to think.

How can I like someoneso much personally,

but dislike themso much professionally?

Try to be nice.

Okay.

[whispering]And smile.

Hi, Ben.

Oh, hey, Michelle.

Truce?

I didn't knowwe were fighting.

In that case, we're not.

Listen, this placeis starting to drive me

a little crazy.

Can we get out of here?

Maybe go for a walk?

Actually--

She would love to.

Mm-hmm. She'd love to.

[whispers]: Thank you.

Now, I...

know that we've hadsome misunderstandings

over the pastcouple days.

My book is a bitcontroversial.

About that book,

I'm sorry, what makesa financial planner

write a book called"Wedding Do's and Don'ts?"

Like...?

You know what,I'm going to get to that.

Okay.

But first, I wantto tell you a story

about someonewho's really close to me,

who got blindsided,never saw it coming,

Let's call him...

Uh, Len.

Len?

Yeah, Len.

So, Len is madly in lovewith this woman.

Let's call her Carolyn.

You know, all Lenever wanted to do

was to make Carolyn happy.

So, when she wantedthis uber-expensive,

impress-everyone weddingwith all the bells and whistles,

he agreed.

Now, this poor,head-over-heels guy

in love

spent a huge pile of dough

on the biggest weddingyou could ever imagine.

How does itend up for Len?

Uh, not... not good. No.

They split up after a year.

Turns out that she wasmore interested in the wedding

than in the marriage,

and Len was heartbroken.

Destroyed.

And to top it all off,

flat broke,and up to his ears in debt.

That's terrible.

I'm really sorry.I had no idea.

Oh, it's not me.Were you listening?

"Len."

You're not Len?

Why? Because "Len"sounds a lot like "Ben"?

And because my ex-wife, Marilyn,

decided she didn't wantto be married after a year?

Okay, yeah, no, you're right, itis me.

[laughs]

Yeah, laugh at my pain.

No, I-I'm notlaughing at you,

I'm laughing with you.

I'm not laughing.

I'm kidding, I'm kidding.

I'm fine.

Yeah, I survived

by not leaving the housefor a year,

and eating bad take-out food,

watching way too muchSports Center,

and that's when I decidedto write the book.

Are you doing better now?

Much better...

now.

You know,if you think about it,

this is kind of likeour first date.

[laughs]

Uh, I wouldn't reallycall this a date,

but if you say so.

I do.

I can't wait forthis convention to be over.

I can't believeyou're saying that.

Is it my imagination,

or were we justspinning our wheels today?

Well, today,we sort of accomplished...

not as muchas we could have.

Only a couple potential clients,no new contracts.

Any good news?

Yes, we addedtwo new vendors to our roster,

Bodies by Bobbyand Elite Flowers,

which is the best florist

in the city.

Hmm, okay.

Yeah, that's--

Uh...

Whoa...

[chuckling]

What, uh...what's all this?

My faves.

Since when?

[giggling]Since I was six.

[♪♪]

All right, well,

How's everybody doing out there, huh?

[laughs]

Havin' a good time?

Well, for those of you who like Country and Western,

won't you please give it up for Mr. Wichita!

Your Country DJ.

He's perfect for your upcoming ceremony.

And now, it's time to boot scoot!

[laughs]

[♪♪]

[laughs]

You heard him, ladies,time to boot scoot.

I can't help it.

I just, I keepseeing dollar signs

It's like a cartoon,

Why do we have to havesuch a big wedding?

Becausewe only get to do this once.

You heard what Libby said.

Yeah, I did,but, sweetie,

we're not David and Samantha.

They make way more moneythan we do.

But we can affordsome things.

Yeah, some things,

but notNena Lang dresses,

and thousand-dollarflower arrangements.

And I Googled the Cake Kyng.

He's got four dollar symbols.

That's three moredollar symbols

We are notgetting the cake

This is our wedding,not my 13th birthday.

The cake is going to beon display...

Yeah, for, like, 10 minutes,

and then it's gonna becut up and eaten.

I can't believeyou just said that.

[♪♪]

[clapping]

I know you wantthe perfect setting,

and the perfect dress,

and the perfecteverything,

but we need tofigure out a budget,

and we needto stick to it.

I see what's happening here.

You've been talkingwith Ben again.

Yeah.

So?

Do you really thinkI'm going to plan my wedding

based on the advice ofyour cynical college roommate?

Well...

Well, he makessome valid points.

Okay, you know what,let's talk about this later.

Come on, let's go dance.You love this stuff.

Come on.

No thanks. I'm notreally in the mood.

[sighs heavily]

Brian, the party is great.

Even better than last year.

Thank you.

My calf'sa little sore,

Libby only kicked methree times.

-Oh, it was twice.-I think it was more--

Oh, hello.

Listen, Brian,

We've all been talking,

and we feel we needto do something

about the"dump the event" guy.

Look, I told you,he's only here to sell his book.

That's the problem,

his book is totallyanti-event.

We're all pro-event,

and it's making itdifficult for us

to "sell the event."

Stop sugar-coating it,Meredith.

He's flat-out sabotaging us.

Oh, I don't thinkhe's trying to sabotage us.

Have you read his book?

No, andwe don't intend to.

Well, it's a primer

on how to get marriedquick, dirty, and cheap.

In a panelthis morning,

he said my fondantwas a "fon-don't."

And, "Why hirea photographer

"when you can justuse your iPhone

and share photoson the Internet?"

Guys, is this reallythe time and place

to have this discussion?

Every secondthat guy sticks around,

we lose more clients and money.

Okay, please just listento me, everybody,

Just relax, okay?

Okay, now, I'm sorrythat you feel this way,

but when Mr. Reynoldsfilled out his application

and paid his fee--

which is not cheap,as you all know--

well, he earned his rightto sell his services,

the same as any of you.

Now, it's called competition.

No, Brian,it's not competition

when somebody is hereto destroy our businesses

and ruin our livelihoods.

Well, that's a bit much,isn't it?

Hey, guys!

Great party.

Here's to weddings.

What was going ondown there?

Everybody leftso quickly.

They wereprobably tired.

Party poopers.

[chuckles] Yeah.

Well...

Good night.

Good night.

[whispering]Good night.

Yeah.Good night.

[both sighing]

I think you wereright about Ben.

I mean, so what,

we have a fewphilosophical differences.

He's a good guy.

And a terrific dancer.

Yeah.

I mean, do you see howhis whole face lights up

when he smiles?

It's like...

Told ya.

I don't know 'Chelle,

My heart just pulsesevery time I see him.

What?

Tell me I am notseeing this.

What? They're justhaving breakfast.

That is so much morethan breakfast!

Libs, they'reold friends,

probably reliving glory daysover bacon and eggs.

Don't be naive.

That is Benedict Arnoldmeeting with the British.

Those are our clients,

and he's trying to steal them!

Libby, no...

Call it instinct,call it intuition--

Call it crazy.

I'm a little worriedthat triple-shot latte

might be havingill affects.

How about a decaf?

You know what,I'm going to walk in there,

and I'm going to tell that Judas

exactly how I feelabout him.

Okay, you areoverreacting.

I mean, what exactly

do you thinkthey're talking about?

I don't know.

By the time he's done with them,they're going to be eloping.

In Vegas.

With Elvis.

That's ridiculous.

Come on, let'sopen the booth.

Crazy lady...

I'm not saying thatyou should elope to Vegas

and get married by Elvis,

but I am saying

that you shouldn't spendall your money on one day.

I mean, you're going to needevery penny of it

for the down paymenton your house.

And we were thinkingabout getting a place, right?

Yes, but...

we'll have lotsof time to do that.

But every monthpaying rent

is money not building equity.

And you're missing tax benefits

and write-offs...

What about ourfamily and friends?

And I really liked the ideaof arriving in a carriage.

What's more romanticthan butterflies?

I know, sweetie,

but the weddingyou're talking about

costs... beaucoup dollars.

Probably more than that.

It's 3:30.

They were supposed tobe here at 3:00.

What did I tell you?

So they're running late.

What's the big deal?

The big deal is that Benhas stolen our clients!

I'm gonna go find them.

[chuckles ruefully]Suit yourself.

Well, good day,Weddings by Libby.

Where are youhiding them?

Hiding who?

Don't play dumb.

I saw you having breakfastwith my clients.

Alex and Annie?

What, were you spying on me?

Hardly.

I just happenedto be walking by.

I hope you're notfilling their heads

with your ill-advisedphilosophy.

Well, theyinvited me to breakfast.

Someone needs to speaksome common sense.

I knew it.

Knew what?

Ben, I think you should know,

some people at the Expo

are saying someterrible things about you,

and I'm starting to thinkthey might be right.

Hey!

So glad I ran into you guys.

Did you forget aboutour appointment?

It's okay.

Don't evenworry about it.

So over the lastcouple of days,

you've had a chanceto look around

get some information.

We did.

We definitely did.

Coming here has beenextremely eye-opening.

Well, that's great.

Hopefully,you had a chance

to figure outwhat you like,

what you don't like.

Yeah.

All the information,all the opinions,

it really forced usto start talking about--

Fight about.

Discuss.

Guys, you know what,

I know it can bereally stressful,

so why don't we just startwith something easy.

Are we still sticking toa June wedding?

We don'thave to do June.

Nothing's set.

Why don't we look atsomething later in the year?

I love October weddings.

It won't bein October.

Okay, well, um,

November'skind of getting

a little latein the season--

We decided we don'twant a wedding at all.

Oh.

I'm sorry to hear that.

Are you guys thinkingof a Justice of the Peace?

Not exactly.

Look, I'm not hereto rush you guys,

so whenever you're ready,

"Weddings by Libby"

will be here to help youwith whatever you need.

We're not gettingmarried at all.

We're breaking up.

You're breaking up?

We realized

that we can't agreeon anything.

It's not justthe venue or the cake.

It's everything.

If we can't compromiseand make one day work,

how can we makea lifetime together work?

We lost Alex and Annie.

Not surprising,

and probably nota terrible thing.

They had no ideawhat they wanted.

We would have beenholding their hand

the whole time.

Actually,they split up altogether.

Oh.

Wow.

That's awful...

and so unexpected.

They seemed so happy,and in love, and cute together.

Well, nowthey're unhappy,

split up, and not as cute.

Oh, man.

Break-ups are the worst.

You just want tocurl up into a ball

and eat tuna casserolefor days.

Tuna casserole?

We all have our own wayof mourning.

I make tuna casserole.

Then I eat it.

Don't judge me.

Okay, you're right.

Your tuna casseroleis my pineapple pizza.

-Pineapple pizza?-It's good.

Blech.

[laughing]

Give me a handwith this?

Yeah.

Ready?

Oh, my gosh, this is so heavy.

Ugh, I think it's stuck.

Here, let mehelp you with that.

Oh, thanks.

To the rescue again.

You are unbelievable.

I'm sure you heard

what happened to Alex and Annie.

Yeah, I heard.

If you would have juststayed out of my business,

none of thiswould have happened,

and they would still be planningthe wedding of their dreams.

Okay, wait a minute.

First off, they came to me,asking for advice.

You had them walkingdown some primrose path

to a weddingthey couldn't afford.

Just because you hada bad experience

doesn't mean you shouldruin it for everyone else.

And I supposeyour six-year-old's version

of a pie-in-the-skyfairy-tale wedding

is somethingyou still believe in,

no matterwhat the circumstances.

Well, for some people,love is real

and romance isn't dead,

so, no matterwhat you say...

You know what,

you're nevergoing to understand.

So, just takeyour stupid book

"Do" get out of my life

and "Don't" ever call me again.

[♪♪]

So...

what's withthe pineapple pizza?

It's an acquired taste.

Have a slice.

I'll pass,I'll pass...

So, we need to keepthe buzz going,

and I proposethat we hit the road.

Here's your itinerary.

I thought you were talking abouta book tour.

These are all bridal exposand wedding conventions.

Hey, that's our audience.

Yeah, but at expos,

I'm basicallypitching against vendors

that are therepromoting weddings

and their services.

And once again, by the end,I will be hated.

[chuckles]

You will be hated,

but you will beselling books, though.

All the difference in the world.

It's not gonna happen.

I'm gonna doanother bridal expo.

Oh, boy.

Did he send you that?

No, I ordered it.

You ordered it?

So?

There might be somethingI can glean from it.

Ah, girlfriend,

you got it bad.

[♪♪]

What are you doing here?

You're the last personI expected to see.

I've been thinking a lotabout Alex and Annie.

They're really good together,and they love each other.

So you're not here to make up?

Look,

we can't pretend

that we had nothing to dowith that break-up,

so we need to do something.

What do you want to do?

It's their lives, not ours.

I don't know.

But something.

Whoa-ho-ho-ho!

Good one.

That's past the 240 marker.

Keep that up,

you can give the wedding gameand go on the tour.

Right.

I should quitthe wedding game.

Listen, Alex,

I want to apologizefor the role I played

in your breakup with Annie.

Forget it.

No. No, I'm serious.

I love you guys,

and that's the last thingI wanted to see happen.

It's, you know,because we're friends,

I got so caught upin the financial aspects,

that I forgot about the love.

I'm the onewho asked you for help, so...

it wasn't you, it was me.

Well, I know thatwe talked a lot

about the expenseof the Big Day,

though we nevertalked about

the financial benefitsof getting hitched.

Like filing a joint tax return.

And insurance is cheaper--

Benny, Benny, stop.

None of those are good reasonsto get married.

I made my choice, and...

now I gotta live with it.

No. You don't.

You can still make things right.

You guys can workthis thing out.

[sighs heavily]

I don't know, I mean,

she doesn't evenwant to talk to me.

I hope you're right,because I'm lost without her.

Yeah.

I know what you mean.

The right woman is hard to find,

and when you do,

you better hold on tight.

The front desk saidI'd find you out here.

Thank you for takingthe time to meet with me.

Do you want to sit?

Yeah.

I was happy you called,but surprised.

Nothing's changed.

We're not getting married.

Well, that's why I'm here.

I wanted to apologize.

That's not necessary.

Annie...

I got so wrapped up

in wanting to give youthe wedding of your dreams,

I forgot aboutthe practical,

the hard costs.

That was not fair to doto you or Alex.

I'm so sorry.

I was the onewho wanted the big wedding.

That's all I cared about.

Forget about the wedding,

just think aboutAlex the person.

You two wereso good together.

I know.

We were.

Well, you can make it right,and you should.

I was so mad.

I said some terrible things.

That doesn't even matter.

You two love each other.

I just...

I wish we could start over.

I wish that, too.

[♪♪]

Annie?

[office applauds]

[laughs in delight]

What?

It's so goodto see you guys together.

I was not expecting this.

How are you?What's going on?

Well...

What's he doing here?

What's going on?

Why don't you guyssit down? We'll explain.

We have some newswe want to share.

I hope this is aboutwhat I think it is.

Yup.

We're back together.

-That is great news.-That's amazing.

And we're getting married.

-Congratulations!-That's fantastic.

This is reallythe best news.

And...

we want the two of youto help us plan our wedding.

-I can't work with her.-I can't work with him.

But I can't get marriedwithout your help.

And I can't get marriedwithout you.

Thank you--

This is a quandary.

It's more ofa conundrum.

Well, you don't want usto break up again, do you?

[together]: No!

Then it's settled.

When can we get started?

All right,come on, people,

we're a team.

Everybody,group hug, people!

Okay, maybe not.

[laughing happily]

Isn't this exiting?

We have our Dream Team here.

So, if we're going to havea June wedding,

we'd better get going.

Libby?

Oh, no, I'm going to let Benlead this one.

No, no, you go ahead.

No, please, I insist.

You'rethe wedding planner.

You shouldlead the charge.

All right, all right,I'll start.

Annie and Iwere thinking

that Calamigos would bea good venue for us.

Yes. It's very romantic.

I think that's perfect.

It's a great idea

if you want to get marriedin your street clothes,

because you're notgoing to be able to afford

a wedding dress.

That place is so expensive.

Are you sure?

I'm sure. Yes.

How about the beachat Los Oros, at sunset?

Well, clearly, you needto get out more,

because Los Orosis infested with flies.

They bite.It's a terrible idea.

Biting flies.

Okay, Los Orosis definitely out.

Oh, how aboutthe Westbrook Country Club?

They book a year in advance,

but sometimes,they have cancellations.

Please,

that is your typical,been-there, done-that venue.

Don't you want to give themthe wedding of their dreams?

Yeah, but you want to scrapetwo nickels together

to pay for it.

Just somethingaffordable, Libby.

Well, I hope you don't suggest adrive-thru in Vegas.

Um... [clearing throat]

would anyone like a coffee?

[all together]: No.

Finally, an agreement.

I'm starting to think

this was a bad idea.

Yeah, I mean, maybewe should just elope.

[together]: No.

Guys, I know old habitsare hard to break,

but can't you twoplease try to get along?

For the sakeof our wedding day?

Libby, don't Iremember you saying

that each weddingshould be unique,

and you try and tailorthe ceremony

to each individual couple?

I did.

All right, well,I happen to know

that these two hadtheir first date on a--

Harbor Cruise.

A boat could be a perfect idea.

And it just so happens

that one of my clientsowns one of the boats,

and I'd be able to negotiatea fair and affordable price.

[Annie]: I love that idea.

[Alex]: Yeah, yeah, me too.

Now, I know

this really isn'tmy department,

but I think it would bereally romantic.

I guess we're allgoing to the harbor.

[chuckling]

Ships ahoy, all hands on deck.

You know, I haven'tbeen here in so long.

I forgot how beautifulthis place is.

And budget friendly.

Oh, I am sorubbing off on you.

Ah, we'll see.

Okay, so we needa dance floor.

a place to putthe tables and chairs,

a place for the DJ,

and somewhereto serve the food.

You know, if I wasthe wedding planner...

But you're not.

Right. I forgot.

All I do is crunch numbers.

Crunch, crunch, crunch,crunch, crunch.

Oh, there we go.

But if I wasa wedding planner,

I might considerhaving the ceremony

on the roof deck.

And we couldseal the wedding

with a kissright at sunset.

What an amazing photothat would be.

And we could justdo the reception

on one ofthe lower decks.

Which means that we couldsave the roof deck

for the first dance,

With the mountainsbehind them?

And there's plenty ofroom on the middle deck

for the tables and chairs.

You missed your calling,"Book By Ben."

Thank you very much,"Weddings by Libby."

This is going to bea huge amount of work

in not a lot of time.

Are you sureyou're up for this?

As readyas a man can be.

Okay.

Okay, do you wantto go over menus?

Perfect.

So, this isLeone's catering

It's Italian,it's a little pricey,

but really reliable.

RT's Catering.

Here, do you want to look?

Uh, big variety,it's buffet style

so it's a little bitmore affordable.

And this,most would say

was the best,

Silverman's Catering.

They're known fortheir prime rib

and lobster.

The prime riblooks delicious,

and I love lobster.

Libby, we mightwant to consider

more modest menu options

and instead

put the money backinto Annie's wedding dress.

Okay, well,what do you suggest?

We have to feed150 people.

Please don't mention150 people.

It makes me nervous.

Why, honey?

Just all those peoplewatching me say "I do."

Oh, sweetie,

that's so cute.

Oh, my gosh,

that's really good.

I had no idea.

Alex and Ilove food trucks.

Mm-hmm, yeah,Wok and Roll,

uh, Thrilled Cheese.

Don't forget50 Shades of Filet.

[laughs]

And my personal favorite,Tapas the Morning to you.

And the bestbarbecue places

is Indiana Bones.

Wait, why don't we just havea food truck cater the wedding?

A food truck?

For a wedding?

It's affordable.

Okay, I likethe way you're thinking.

Thank you.

And you guys could havethe reception

out in the harbor,then you could come back here,

your guests could goto the food truck,

get their food,

get back on the boatto dine and dance.

Yeah, thatcould be great.

What do you guys think?

I love it.

Yeah, me too.

Glad I'm on boardfor this cruise.

I would hope so.

You shouldtry this one as well,

It's stunning.

And how iseverything going over here?

[chuckles]

Well, we'restill looking.

See anythingyou like?

[Annie]:They're all beautiful...

I think youliked this one.

The lace was nice.

Now, ladies...

You know I loathe

being the bearer of bad news,

but have you seen these prices?

We can't afford these dresses.

I think our best optionis to rent a dress.

Chapter 5."Don't Drown in the Gown."

So you did read my book.

Would you like it back?

Yeah, so I canhit you with it.

Ooh, ouch, not again.

I'm sorry,

but I reallydon't want to rent.

I want to have this dressforever.

Of course.

In that case,

maybe we should look over here.

Here are my mostaffordable dresses,

and truthfully,

most of them areperfectly lovely.

Oh, what aboutthis one?

It has a classicopen back.

Hmm, I don't think so.

This is very popular.

This is a knock-off

of Verdiggio'sMediterranean line,

El Greco.

I just don't thinkit suits me.

Hold on,

the dress that Anniemodeled at the expo,

is that stillin the shop?

Yes.

And modeling it at the expo,

wouldn't that haveturned it into a sample?

Well, yes, it would.

And what kind of a the discountdo you offer on samples?

Well, usually,

35 to 40%.

All right, well,let's call it half price,

and we'll throw inphotos from the wedding

that you can usefor marketing.

You know Libby's photographeris excellent.

I thinkwe can all agree

Annie looked stunningin that dress.

And she is your client...

Sold!

[gasping in delight]Thank you so much.

[laughing]Thank you.

You're welcome.

I love you for that.

And I think the dressis right over here.

I think I love youfor that, too.

Okay, time to learnyour wedding dance.

Stand straight.

Your shoulders back.

Good.

Nice firm arm.

Now, you can't think.

Just do.

Just let your body do it.

Thinking will onlyget in your way.

Let me show youwhat I mean.

Libby?

Oh. Thank you.

Now, Alex,

you have to bea nice strong lead.

Just...

concentrate onyour partner's beautiful eyes

and feel the music...

[♪♪]

...and everything elsewill take care of itself.

[♪♪]

Whoo! [giggling]

Okay, Alex,give it a shot.

Okay.

[chuckling awkwardly]

Oh.

Yeah, this isgonna be trouble.

Alex was alwaysa terrible dancer.

Well, at least he hasa few days to learn.

Mm.

Yeah, he's going to needevery minute of it.

Have I ever told you my motto?

You have a motto?

Of course.

And your motto is?

"Never let a good songgo to waste."

Would you liketo dance with me again?

Did I ever tell you my motto?

I'm listening.

"Never refusea beautiful woman."

And I promise

I won't step on your toes.

I'll forgive you if you do.

[♪♪]

Okay, so,

this is where yourreception will be,

with the dance floor

right in the middle.

We'll be doingthe cutting of the cake

on the bow,

and you'll say your "I do's"on the upper deck upstairs.

Isn't itperfect, honey?

Yeah.Yeah I-I just,

I didn'texpect it to be...

so, uh, so big.

And this is wherewe'll have the Big Show.

Show?

Let me give youa little visual

so you know whatI'm talking about.

Okay.

We're going to place12 of these monitors

around the room,

surrounding you and your guests.

They will see a montage

of your lives.

This will all beedited together

with a beautifulpiece of music,

and the whole experiencewill say

"This marriagewas meant to be."

That's a great idea.

That's what I call romantic.

Does the show have tobe about us?

Couldn't it be about,you know, somebody else?

Oh, you.

He has to jokeabout everything.

No, I'm--I'm serious.

Is there a bathroomon the boat?

Yeah, it's back there.

Is he going to be okay?

Actually,I'm not sure.

I think he might behaving some jitters.

But I'm surehe'll be fine.

Try not to worry about it.

Excuse me.

I gotta totell you, Libby,

it's been a realtreat for me,

seeing you putthis thing together,

and this is the icingon the cake,

Really.

This is going to bea very special wedding.

You should beproud of yourself.

I'm proud of us.

Thank you for helping.

I couldn't have gottenthis far without you.

I guess we makea pretty good team, then.

Maybe this is the startof something special.

Maybe.

Would you like it to be?

Good night, Ben Reynolds.

Good night, Libby Boland.

[♪♪]

[Alex writes]: "Dear Libby and Ben,

"I'm so sorry to tell you this,

"but Annie and I have decided not to get married

"on the Harbor Cruise ship.

"Please know this is all my fault

and not hers."

Libby, what's wrong?

[sniffles]

[Alex]: "The truth is that the prospect of 150 people

"all coming to watch me say 'I do'

"is more than I can bear.

"We've decided to elope,

"and by the time you read this, we'll be gone.

"Unfortunately,

"the money we were going to spend on the wedding

we'll need for our trip to Fiji."

"I hope you can find it in your heart to forgive me.

Yours truly, Alex."

Can you believe he did this?

Poor guy.

Poor guy?

What are you talking about?

I feel for him,he must be scared.

To walk awayfrom his own wedding?

he must be terrified.

What?

I'm on the hook for everything.

The venue, the catering,the dress, the cake.

You don't haveanything in this.

I'm done.

You can sue him.

Well, unfortunately,he's one of your best friends,

so I'm not going to sue him.

Besides, you know what thatwould do to my reputation?

My business is ruined.

Come on...

don't-don't cry.

We'll figure something out.

[quietly]Everything I've worked for...

Look at me.

Do you trust me?

Then you believe mewhen I tell you

that I am not going tolet that happen.

[♪♪]

Okay, 'Chelle? Hey.

Will you make surethe champagne is on ice?

Oh, yeah, and checkthe place cards,

make sure they've beenalphabetized.

Already done, boss lady.

Also, I want to seethe bride's bouquet.

On the way.

Great.

Oh, remember to cue the bride

with the first four barsof Canon in D Major.

Thank you.

Vinny,

make surethe bride is backlit

as much as possible.

We want her looking her beston her special day.

I got you covered.

And rest assured,

I'll use nothingbut long lenses.

You're the best.

[gasping]

So, I was feeling

especiallygenerous today,

so I added a coupleof extra tiers, no charge.

You are so sweet.

Mwah!

"Sweet" is my middle name.

So it is.

Are you going to be herefor the cutting of the cake?

I wouldn't miss it.

I can't wait to see your facewhen you see the filling.

That's because the proofis in the pudding,

and the pudding...

...Is in the cake." Ah!

Libs...

Bride's bouquet.

Are you kidding me?

I wanted tulips,not roses.

And what's with the lilies?

That's what you ordered. I--

I'm just kidding.

It's beautiful.

[laughing]

The guests arestarting to show up.

Oh, um, can you actuallystall them

with a little bubblybefore they get on board.

Got it.

Have you seen Ben?

He said something aboutthe groom having jitters.

Haven't seen him since.

Is it a Code Blue?Do I need to talk to him?

I don't think so, Libs.

If I know Ben,I'm sure he'll handle it.

You're probably right.

[chuckles]

'Chelle, I could really learnto love that guy.

Well, he is pretty lovable.

Who knew?

Okay, I better gotake care of the bride.

Hey, Libs...

Be gentle with her,

we don't needa bridezilla today.

Oh...

Roger that.
