(MARGUERITE) Yeah, absolutely. 3:30 sounds great.

Okay. We'll see you then.

Show time!

(JANET) The morning posts haven't gotten

the number of hits they did last Thursday.

- Did you tweak the key words yet? - Uh-huh.

Maybe the champagne dress was too champagne for the A.M.?

Janet, Charles welcome!

Only a few weeks until the big day!

Homestretch.

My parents are flying in from Seattle next week.

They're super excited.

My brother, bought a tux.

Ah. It's not one of those T-shirts

with a tux printed on it, right?

Of course not.

I made sure to note on the invitations

the Old Hollywood Glamour theme.

Is this the flatware we ordered?

Mm-hmm.

- Oh! - (JANET'S PHONE RINGS)

Oh! It's Bev, about the banner ads.

I really got to take this last one. I promise!

She'll be back in a minute.

Why don't you make a decision on glassware

while we wait?

Uh. We should wait for Janet.

Really? You don't have a preference?

Glassware doesn't really matter to me.

But it will matter to the "Bridal Brigade".

Ah, brigade. It's only 150 guests.

Yes, sorry. Janet's blog.

It's got fifteen thousand followers and counting.

Oh my.

Yeah. Apparently they can't wait to see how

"The Forever Bridesmaid" ends up planning her own wedding.

Babe!

Bev found us a buyer for the banner ads on the website!

Our wedding's posts are going to be sponsored by...

Drum roll...

Double-sided tape!

Eeeeiieee!

Being a bridesmaid finally pays off!

But my dear, you are the bride!

I never dreamed this day would come.

The blog is bringing in revenue!

I'm so happy for you.

Oh! Actually, do you want some ad space on the site?

Thousands of single women flock to my site everyday

for expert bridesmaid tricks and hacks.

And as we know, nobody stays single forever.

I prefer to do my business face to face.

Old school.

Yeah.

Babe, let's get back to our wedding.

Right. Um, as I expand my brand into bridal,

Wedding Essentials is bound to get lots of traffic.

(JANET'S PHONE RINGS)

Janet, why don't you put that on silent.

Last one. For really real reals. Okay.

Okay. (CHUCKLES)

She's obviously working very hard.

Yeah. I don't think she ever dreamed

that the blog would get this big.

All those people watching your every move,

it must be a tremendous amount of pressure.

If it makes her happy, I'm happy to support her.

But it has become... a lot.

A wedding only lasts a day.

But a marriage, that can last a life time.

And it takes two people to make a relationship work.

I'm here to help.

You know what?

I like the glass with the long stem.

Excellent. All right.

Let's see if I can help a lift a little of that stress.

If you don't understand the branding of the wedding

then you'll have to be out.

Relatives. What're you going to do?

Good luck with the De-stressing part.

Ah, so. Where were we?

All right. Let's see if we can get

as close as possible to making your dreams come true.

I like the sound of that.

So have you made any further decisions about the dress?

Ah, just in time! My daughter Paige.

This is Charles, Janet.

- Hi. - Yes. Hi.

I have the dress, but at the last fitting

it felt a little too off the rack.

And, well, we couldn't afford haute couture,

but I still really need it to be special.

I'm actually still pinning alteration inspirations

just to really make it pop.

All right.

Well, I've got several calls into my son, James.

I'm really hoping he can help us with this.

James Clarkson is your son?

From that show? 'America's Next Fashionista'?

I loved his kimono challenge.

I so have to follow him.

Babe, imagine the anticipation we can build

if I start posting about a celebrity guest!

You know I just realized that I haven't heard

the story about how the two of you met.

Ah, through friends. We were camping.

I was with a group of college friends.

I had just gotten dumped,

so I got a pity invite from one of my friends.

It was dark. You were sitting over by the campfire.

You smoothly asked me

if I had seen any good marshmallow sticks.

(LAUGHING)

He said he was a master roaster!

You were so beautiful, I couldn't take my eyes off you.

Totally burnt my marshmallow.

See I'm a much better roaster than you.

Yeah. At least I found a way to come talk to you.

And I always thought it was me who caught you.

Remember, how the two of you started

is what will ground you as a couple in the years to come.

Life is short.

You only get so many big days and firsts

that you'll be able to share together.

You need to guard them.

See that's exactly why we went with you as our wedding planner.

You get us.

- (GIRL POP MUSIC PLAYS) - (DOOR CLOSES, FOOTSTEPS)

Good morning, Paige.

- Mom, what in the world? - (PAIGE TURNS OFF MUSIC)

Oh, I had a few hours before my first appointment,

so I thought I would do a little bit of organizing.

Your office is already more organized than...

Than an organization store.

Well I certainly know where every little thing is

in this place, but I can't expect you or your sister to.

Why would Hannah need to know where the tea lights are?

I thought she was only helping out with

taking photos and updating our social media.

She would be great at events.

And she could use a little bit of guidance,

but she could really help you.

Help me?

Why would she need to help me?

Because I think it's time that you stepped out

from behind your laptop.

(LAUGHS) What? Me leave my laptop?

Nope.

I would like you to be the onsite lead

for the wedding on Saturday.

Why? Where are you going?

I'll probably still be here, labeling these boxes.

Mom, seriously, what's going on?

Your dear old Mom's not getting any younger.

And you know, I've been battling this crazy flu,

we have been so busy here.

I think it's time for you to step up.

Sure, but, I'm the nine to five-er here.

I do vendor calls.

I manage returns, the books.

I'm not the one on the weekends

stressing over the couple's big day.

When you first started to work for me,

you said that you wanted to be a planner.

Yeah, and you said that I needed to learn

the company from the inside out first.

Now you know the company better than anyone.

Managing books is completely different

than actually running an event.

You placed the rental orders.

You booked the vendors.

All the rest of the details

are right there in that playbook.

The finesse of planning happens on the day.

Follow the recipe. It's like cooking a fine meal.

The success is in landing the details.

And you can only learn that by doing.

So. Saturday.

The Josh and Danielle wedding is an intimate affair.

It's only thirty-two guests.

(SCOFFS) Only thirty-two guests?

You make it sound so simple.

What if something goes wrong?

You and I both know

that no wedding goes off without a hitch.

Of course something is going to go wrong.

You problem solve.

Okay. I'm still waiting

for the "make me feel better" part of this.

You just...

You take what comes at you.

You dance through it like it was all part of the show!

You can do this.

What about the girls?

- (MARGUERITE TURNS MUSIC ON) - Oh the girls will be fine.

I can help Dan, if he needs it.

He grew up with a Mom who was a wedding planner.

Oh I remember.

Family spaghetti dinners, surrounded by your work.

Seating charts, confetti and cases of champagne.

And you turned out just fine.

Come on, dance with me.

♪ (GIRL POP MUSIC PLAYS) ♪

Thank you, but I will stick to the playbook.

Suit yourself.

♪♪

Whoa, Mom, easy on the dancing.

(MARGUERITE BREATHING HEAVILY)

Still got the moves. (LAUGHS)

Okay.

Well, I've got a lot of studying to do.

Well you won't be alone.

You'll have Hannah.

I'm going to try calling your brother again.

I'm hoping that James will come for a visit

and he can to help you out too.

I'd like to have the three of you home.

Together. All of us.

I better go get prepared for the wedding on Saturday.

Don't look so worried.

We have the best job in the world!

Every day of our lives we help to create

the best day of someone else's life.

All for love...

(TOGETHER) And love for all!

You left your coffee at my desk.

Thanks Mom.

- Love you. - Love you.

(MUSIC FADES OUT)

(PAIGE) James, I am going with the pearls.

I hear you, but the pearls are just a little dull

and I think the sparkle of the diamonds will just

bring out your engagement ring.

I think the pearls look really good.

(PAIGE) The pearls are my 'something old'.

They sure are. Something old lady.

James!

I'm wearing the pearls. They're classic.

You can wear the diamonds on your wedding day.

Oh, no. I am never getting married.

Instead, it'll be diamonds everyday.

Can you hold still, sweets.

I'm dealing with a thread here.

Mom, it's fine.

- I'm fine. I'm fine with the thread. - I'm not.

(HANNAH) Look at her everyone.

She's like a doctor operating on her own child.

I'm like a crazy Mother-of-the-Bride.

(JAMES) It is what you do. I mean the crazy part.

Hey, that's what family's for. Right everybody.

Mom, do you think this is the right thing?

Yes, you loved this veil from the new line.

No, I mean...

Marrying Dan. Now. Without his family here.

Sweets, listen.

Dan's problems with his family started

long before the two of you even met.

I've reached out so many times to help them

mend their differences. Especially for today.

Not coming to your own son's wedding?

Who does that?

Well, you'd be surprised.

But it reminds us of how lucky we are to have each other.

Hey.

Wow!

Dan could have chosen the easy, comfortable life,

but he chose his freedom and he chose you.

Look at you.

I couldn't have said it better myself.

(CAMERA CLICKING)

(HANNAH) Just a few more. Okay, cheek to cheek.

Yes, yes. Perfect.

You guys! I love it.

I think we got it!

There's so many. Look.

I love this one.

Oh! Hannah, those look amazing!

Uh-huh.

Thanks. You two make it so easy.

You practically radiate love.

You know, I couldn't believe it when Marguerite told us

that you would be taking our engagement photos.

You know, because of you and Zach.

But your postings are crazy good.

I couldn't believe it

when my Mom told me that the two were engaged!

I mean, you weren't even dating

a couple of years ago when I left. Right?

It's just crazy.

Uh. This isn't going to be weird for you, is it?

I thought we left on good terms.

No! Are you kidding? Yes!

Yes, we did leave on good terms.

No, it just made me realize how long I was away, I think.

Oh, come over to the condo on Saturday and we can have

a glass of wine and a catch up.

That's so sweet. Thanks.

No, Paige is doing her first solo wedding.

And I'm there for moral support.

Are you going to work at our wedding?

I don't know. I don't know.

I'm just sort of helping my Mom for the time being.

She wants me to modernize the business.

Yeah, it's so funny.

I've been looking at all the old wedding photos and videos,

and there are so many Ross and Rachel hairdos!

And like these weird tacky themes.

But I love your theme, though.

Well. Um.

Thanks.

Rule number six:

Don't insult the bride and the groom.

(CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKING)

(JAMES) No, this isn't it.

Ew! No! Just just...

Stop!

Ah... Go untucked.

James, we can't do that!

Stephen just sent us to oversee.

I am witnessing a crime here.

How can I not do something.

Hair, make up.

Can you guys come in here for a moment?

Just, extend the eyes and take the hair out.

It's so drab under these lights. So pedestrian.

Maybe that's what Stephen wanted.

Who would want pedestrian? We're not selling sidewalks.

Oh.

Stunning! Okay. She is good.

Let's get her back on camera.

Stephen is not going to like this!

Stephen Hawson still has a landline.

And his last collection was fifty shades of beige.

And I'm being conservative with that number.

He's going to love this.

There will be praise.

(PHONE CONTINUES TO BUZZ)

Oh!

I am living for this fantasy. Hmm?

(INDISTINCT CHATTERING)

Sally?

Hey lady!

Look at you!

Hi.

(SMOOCH)

Come, sit.

Oh, can we meet in your office?

We're not having an affair, it's a business meeting.

Yes, I know.

I just don't want my Mother to know.

Or Hannah for that matter.

Why? We're friends.

We're old co-workers who get together all the time.

They know that.

This is different.

We're not talking about James's page six fashion misadventure.

We're talking business. My Mom's business.

Okay.

Suit yourself. Come on.

- Thank you. - All right.

Premium Bridal is such a different business

than what your Mother runs.

I mean, we are poised for growth. To franchise.

Marguerite taught me everything I need to know

about the wedding business.

But my business degree taught me that a company

cannot thrive if it's all coming from one brain.

And one heart in Mom's case.

See! That's exactly why I want you to join me.

You get it. And you get me.

Look Sally, the timing isn't right.

Mom is really urging me to step up.

And she's been fighting off this flu.

She wants me on site to coordinate this weekend.

Well that's great.

You are going to be such a boss wedding planner.

The question is, how boss do you want to be?

(HANNAH) Paigey!

You're beautiful, darling.

(MARGUERITE) Okay Paige. They're ready for you upstairs.

Now? I need a few more minutes.

You take as long as you need.

We'll only go when you are ready.

Okay.

You need your jacket.

Sally!

Thank you so much for taking the lead on this.

Everything looks just perfectly perfect.

Oh, well. Marguerite, I learned from the best!

And you are looking divine, Ms. M.O.B.

I do make a pretty okay Mother-of-the-Bride, don't I?

You know, that kind of flattery might just get you a raise.

Oh! Well we need to talk.

I'm sorry, I'm not in the head space for this right now.

I should probably head back to the office.

Of course. Of course Paige. I get it.

This is not the most ideal time to be talking about this.

But let's keep communicating.

I mean, because I know that Marguerite would want you

to have a big future ahead of you.

Bigger than any you could ever have in her shop.

- Thank you. - Of course.

Have a good day.

Okay, come on, we got to go.

I can't be late for my first event.

Danielle is nervous enough as it is.

Yeah, I'm just emailing the lovebirds their edited

Oh! Ella and Zach. How did that go?

Oh you know.

So much fun shooting your ex's engagement photos.

Anything for the family business, huh?

He wasn't the one, Hannah.

You'll know when you know.

Don't you worry Mom.

You won't be planning my wedding anytime soon.

My girls!

I am so happy when we're together.

I just... I wish your brother was here.

He's too busy being famous in New York

to return any of our phone calls.

James has been a little too quiet lately.

A Mother knows when something isn't right.

He needs us too.

When I left your Dad...

And drove across the country, I had nothing

but a few suitcases, my three little angels, and a dream.

I was excited.

But I was scared.

Whether I had made the right decision for all of you.

And for me.

You still love him, don't you?

I don't think I ever stopped.

I don't know. We were so young.

And Hollywood was pulling us apart.

And it was no place to raise a family.

Oh now, here we are all these years later.

And look at this.

And look at the two of you.

And I am so grateful.

And I just want you to know how proud I am

that you will be working for Clarkson Wedding Essentials.

Well, until we get fired

for being late for our first solo event.

- Come on, come on, come on. - Okay. Wish us luck.

You don't need luck where there's love.

All for love and love for all!

Ah. Here come the nerves.

Anyone would be lucky to have you two guiding their day.

Why didn't I inherit your undying optimism?

You remember, I'll always be with you.

Because you'll have my notes.

Yes.

Thanks.

Hannah, any luck with those programs?

(HANNAH) You were right. I forgot them in the trunk.

Sorry! On my way back now!

Ah Paige.

Everything okay?

Yes. No.

Oh I don't know, Pastor Miller.

It's my first wedding without Mom by my side.

(CHUCKLES) Your Mom told me this was a big day for you.

Please, let me know if there's anything I can do to help.

Well let's just hope we don't need divine intervention.

(CHUCKLES)

Christopher! Just the man I need.

How are you?

Well the guests are arriving any minute.

So I'm pretty much ready to throw up or cry. Or both.

Well, everything looks great.

And if there's anything I can take off your plate it's food.

So, I promise you the food service

will go off without a hitch.

Thank you. There's a table set up downstairs

for desserts and the cake. Everything else is upstairs.

Hannah, where are you?

We need the guest book and the photo board

by the welcome table.

(HANNAH) I'm on it!

It's doesn't fit!

(MARGUERITE MESSAGE) Hello sweet boy, it's your Mom.

I was hoping to hear from you.

I know the time passes differently in New York but

I miss you. We all miss you.

Thirty two dollars.

(PAIGE MESSAGE) Message 27.

Please come and help with this wedding.

I keep having nightmares that there is

a tulle emergency and you aren't here to help.

And call Mom, she's missing all of us being together.

Which is weird 'cause it feels like

we just saw each other at Christmas but...

Denied.

Oh. Right.

Actually, I thought I'd lost this at the Met Gala last week,

so I canceled it.

Hey! Aren't you that guy from 'America's Next Fashionista'?

Oh. Not the Fashionista. You didn't win.

Look at you all up on your shows.

My wife loves that show. The drama!

Yeah, well, fashion isn't about popularity.

It's about talent.

I should have won.

Cash still works in my world.

Who uses cash anymore? Right?

If you give me one second I will be right back.

Hey hey hey.

James!

You came! You got our messages!

All gazillion of them!

How was your flight? How much time did you get off work?

Bring it down Hannah Banana.

It's not like Beyonce's in the room.

Yeah, I think I've outgrown the banana nickname.

I survived so in the Congo. Thanks.

Strange. I thought you'd find it more ap-peal-ing.

Are you serious? Stop.

Don't worry. I got a bunch.

Do you have forty bucks because the taxi's outside

and needs cash.

I have the petty cash for the event.

(PAIGE ON WALKIE) Hannah?

Our poor bride is having a fashion emergency.

Wedding dress meltdown.

Can you please come to the chapel

and bring the bridal emergency kit?

Emergency kit?

Oh! You mean me?

James?

Guess who's here. James!

Yes! Chapel immediately!

Bridal emergency kit. Here.

Oh, and the meter's still running.

And my bag would be great.

You look gorgeous.

Thank you so much for your lovely words, Pastor Evan.

Honestly, I could have said so much more.

She was so full of joy, and so keen to spread it.

She'd be happy to know that you are all together.

You meant the world to her.

Would you excuse me please?

Of course.

Shouldn't he be consoling us in our grief?

He and Mom have been friends for years.

He's allowed to be upset.

I just feel numb.

Are you seriously texting right now?

You're worse than my kids.

I have a life!

You haven't been here for what, a week?

Who could possibly be missing you that much?

Well, at least I'm here. Dad didn't even bother.

Probably stuck in a tanning booth somewhere.

He couldn't get out of L.A.

His show was scheduled months in advance.

Dad said Mom was his one true love.

Yeah, she was his favorite ex-wife.

Well, he wanted to be here. Okay.

I still feel like she's here.

Like she's going to dance in here any minute.

Yeah.

Hey.

How is everyone?

I am so sorry. What a shock!

Marguerite was such a mentor to me.

Well Sally, she was a Mother to us.

Of course. It's just that...

She was more than a boss to me when we worked together.

I mean, she helped me through all those years as a single Mom.

She didn't do all that so you could become the competition.

She did that because that's who she was.

What happened between Marguerite and I back then

was just business.

If there's anything I can do for you

on the business front, let me know. Okay.

It would be an honor for me to know that I was helping

Marguerite and her legacy.

Stop circling, Sally.

It's too soon.

We're doing just fine.

But today, we are celebrating Mom's life.

Of course.

If you'll excuse me, I need to find Dan.

It's time for the girls to head home.

Listen.

Your feelings about me aside, Clarkson Wedding Essentials

has contracts that need to be honored.

You can't mess around with the most important day of people's lives.

Paige is an excellent member of the team, sure,

but she can't possibly run the company

up to Marguerite's standards.

I think I'm getting a phone call.

Hannah listen.

It's not just Marguerite's legacy.

It's Paige's livelihood.

Lord knows. I know how hard it is

to make a profit in this planning business.

I'm just trying to help.

Call me, if you need anything.

Oh, does the dessert table need any more...

Uh-uh.

It's good.

You have a bit of...

Perfect! Yeah.

I wanted this to get a little more embarrassing.

Good cupcake?

Delicious.

I like to eat the icing first too.

Um, thank you for the quick turnaround. And all of this.

We didn't know how sick our Mom was.

That sounds really stupid.

No. I've been catering for her for months.

No one knew.

We're her kids though.

Your Mother was an incredible lady.

I'm sorry. I'm just not ready for "was" yet.

Excuse me.

Okay well if you need more cupcakes,

you come and see me.

Stephen! Hi, it's James.

I just wanted to let you know

I will be back in New York in a few days.

And I can't wait for you to see my designs for fashion week.

You're going to flip. So. Yeah.

I'll be back in New York in a couple days.

I just said that.

Okay. Bye.

Kendall!

Yes?

Listen.

(JAMES ON MESSAGE) Hi. It's James.

I just wanted to let you know

I will be back in New York in a few days.

And I can't wait for you to see...

Okay, he sounds...

Unapologetic?

I was going to say quieter than usual.

Really? Because I heard the sound

of someone trying to move on and I'm not.

What he did was potentially forgivable

but I don't hear him asking for that here. Do you?

No.

I took him under my wing. I mentored him.

And he repaid me by going behind my back.

His own collection. Really?

He had a lapse in judgement.

He messed with my brand.

Not to mention my financiers.

I never said it wasn't stupid.

What's that saying? "Stupid is as stupid does".

I'm so done.

(PAIGE) All right.

Here we go.

Now make sure Dad doesn't eat all the pizza.

He will.

You just try and stop me.

There you go.

I don't know how long I'll be.

Just text me when you're leaving

Okay.

Sorry to interrupt.

We are so sorry for your loss and we came to pay our respects.

We realize that this is not the right time.

Marguerite was a wonderful woman.

But it's our wedding day in two weeks!

And we've been planning it for over a year.

Your Mother's vision for our wedding was beautiful.

We can't cancel.

We've put down so much money for deposits,

we have guests flying in from overseas,

and thousands of my followers need to see

what an amazing day we have planned.

And it's also important to us, right?

Obviously honey!

Your Mother promised us a perfect wedding day.

How is that going to happen now?

She was our rock.

Janet, our Mom would have wanted you

to have the perfect day, no matter what.

It will absolutely still happen.

Right, Paige?

Yes! Yes.

Our Mother was very diligent about taking notes.

And everything is booked up and ready to go.

I'll personally be there

to make sure that everything runs smoothly.

And you'll be there too?

Sure.

Thank you.

You have no idea how much this means to us.

I will text you the schedule!

I'm pretty sure we have it.

Oh, I've changed it.

Okay!

Great! I guess my apprenticeship is over.

Come on little sister.

Time to step up to the plate.

We better take a look at those notes.

(END OF SONG)

(HANNAH) Wow.

(HANNAH) It's quiet.

Twenty years of weddings in this place.

And one funeral changes everything.

So quiet.

Oh. Some things never change.

Hey, you used to love any piece of fabric

you could get your hands on.

Yeah but now I am a designer with taste.

Whatever. I know my polyester pajama loving brother

is still in there.

Look, I know it's been years

but I still can't believe that this was my bedroom.

Wow!

There's so much fabric.

Expropriation.

For the purpose of business.

Yeah, well I only got to keep my room

because it was up so many stairs.

I'm hanging onto it, by the way!

Hmmm.

Mom was planning a new phase of the office.

How could she be planning to expand when she was sick?

I don't think she was planning on dying.

But you could check her notes.

Too dark?

Okay.

Here it is.

The playbook.

It's all here.

Timelines, seating charts, list of vendors.

She's already organized and divided

the petty cash and tip money.

And the bookings are here.

Wait a second.

She's planned everything.

Every wedding for the next year.

Isn't that what she did?

Not this far in advance.

She wanted us to take over.

What about the Janet and Charles wedding?

Right. Umm.

Okay. Here are the notes.

150 guests. Black tie. Old Hollywood glamour feel.

"Make it a day they'll never forget".

"Marshmallows?"

(JAMES) A day they'll never forget?

I mean, if anything goes wrong,

they'll definitely never forget that.

I've witnessed Janet in full bridal tiger mode.

And she is truly terrifying.

Maybe we should call Sally.

We are not calling Sally!

Sally does not want to help us,

she just wants to get her hands on Mom's bookings.

I hear you.

Once we get through this wedding,

we'll just figure this all out.

Maybe in the end it might make sense

to talk to Sally about this.

What?

Sally offered to take over our bookings.

Is there cash in the discussion?

We're not giving up Mom's business to Sally.

I have a family to take care of.

I can't do this.

What about this family, Paige?

This should be a family decision.

Oh, now you want to talk about family?

The guy who's so famous he can't answer any of our calls

even though he's always on his phone.

Hey, don't get mad at me because I followed my dreams,

and you ran away to chase gorillas.

Okay stop!

Pull yourselves together guys.

We need to focus on making this wedding the perfect day

for Janet and Charles. It's what Mom wanted.

Well, as fun as this party sounds,

I have a flight to catch tomorrow.

You just got here.

Yeah, and I have a career in New York, and an apartment

with soul crushing rent that needs to be paid.

Well, I have nothing, James.

I don't have anything else right now.

Mom was the one who convinced me to travel. You know.

She was so sure that I would grow

and that I would find myself.

And I don't think I did.

Now I'm back, and everything's different.

Mom is gone.

(HANNAH SOBS)

Mom wanted me to step up.

At the very least, I will see this wedding through.

Hannah, I can't promise you that I can keep this

business running forever.

Hey. But I'm going to try okay?

All right.

I will help just this once. For Janet and Charles.

And for Mom.

We've got a lot of planning to do.

Remind me to digitize that playbook.

Coffee!

Thank you.

I just love the trimming on this one.

Oh, that's really pretty.

Yeah, I love the V-neck on it.

Um... Charles tell me a little about the bow tie?

Let me take the lead this time. Okay?

Do you trust me?

Yes.

(JUNE) Great. Let's adjust the hold.

Arm a little bit higher.

And chin up.

Sorry June, us tech nerds don't dance very well.

Little known fact.

Actually, it's common knowledge.

Oh.

Okay.

How'd it go?

Pretty great, actually.

We really brought the love.

No wonder Mom loved this so much.

You don't think everything is a bit too much?

Too much, as I won't be here for you and the kids?

I was never really close to my family.

And I know how close you were to your Mom.

Work...

Keeps her close.

Come upstairs.

(SMOOCH)

How am I supposed to replace his entire family?

- Why don't they want to be here? - _

Okay honey. Just take a deep breath, take a deep breath.

It's just...

I was really hoping they'd change their minds and come.

I know. I know.

We're his family now.

You have always had enough love to see him through.

Ever since you were singing your heart out for him

in high school.

I don't know if I can go out there.

You know, everybody thinks that your wedding day

is the happiest day of your life,

but it is also stressful and overwhelming.

Mm-hmm.

So forget about everyone else.

All that matters is you and Dan.

Do you love him?

Yes.

Do you want to wake up next to him every day

for the rest of your life?

Yes.

So then let's go and get the two of you married.

Okay.

Let's go.

Don't you two look sharp.

Well you know what they say.

The family that plans together, dresses together.

Apparently.

Kailyn, do you have the new playlist?

Hannah! This is... this is beautiful.

Just following the playbook.

Mom marked where every single piece should go.

Well! Looks like you guys have everything under control.

If you'll excuse me, I have a flight to catch.

James, you're leaving?

Just like that?

"Always leave them wanting more!"

You know I hate goodbyes.

But I do love a dramatic exit.

Kailyn, can you play me some exit music?

(TROMBONE FART SOUND)

Rude.

Just promise me you'll text us when you land.

I will implant a microchip under my skin

and send you the password.

Now you're just being sassy.

Thank you.

Okay. Give this to Janet.

And make sure everything is okay.

It won't be, but just distract her

from the most immediate annoyance.

What do I say?

You'll be fine.

Just tell her everything looks gorgeous

and is under control.

- Paige, but she's... - Hannah, you're good with people.

Just be your bubbly self. When in doubt, channel Mom.

Go! Guests are arriving any minute.

Ah! Don't say that to Janet!

No, no, no.

Those are the wrong glasses for Cabernet.

Hello!

Okay. You look absolutely stunning.

What you can do about the wifi?

I need to post now to keep interest up

before the guests arrive.

Yeah, the guests are going to be here any minute!

What?

What do you mean they're going to be here any minute?

I mean, I thought we still have at least 45 minutes.

Everything's gorgeous and under control.

No no no no no no. No. No.

Don't give me that line. Okay?

Sorry. I can't stop sweating,

and I kind of feel like I'm going to throw up!

Are you sure you know what you're doing?

Marguerite promised picture perfect.

It needs to be picture perfect.

I'd feel a lot better if my Mom was here too.

But I'm here, Janet.

I know how important this day is to you.

I promise you, Paige and I are going to do everything

we can to make this day absolutely flawless.

Do you think everyone's going to like it?

Absolutely.

But your guests did not travel for miles and miles

to see how expensive the floral arrangements are.

Or to see how many likes you're going to get on your posts.

Your guests have traveled for miles and miles because

they want to be here to support you and Charles.

It's just that the "Bridal Brigaders",

they're waiting to see if "The Forever Bridesmaid"

can pull off the perfect wedding.

Maybe there's a reason I've always been a bridesmaid?

Maybe I'm just not cut out to be a bride.

You know, growing up, I remember watching my Mom

work with literally hundreds of brides.

And every single bride was so different.

So different.

There's no 'right' way to be a bride.

Now that's an interesting perspective.

Thanks Hannah.

Charles!

Aren't you're looking awesome.

Not really feeling my awesomeness.

(CHARLES' PHONE BUZZES)

Who do you think this is? Janet or maybe Janet?

Isn't there a rule that you shouldn't get 73 texts

from your wife-to-be on your wedding day.

Well, at least she's trying to communicate.

Yeah.

I know who Janet is and this isn't it.

This is nuts!

I mean, she's so completely consumed with being

picture perfect so that her followers are happy

that we barely even talk anymore.

How's a relationship supposed to last on emojis alone?

Um...

I need to see her.

Charles, you both agreed to not see each other

- before the ceremony. - I need to have a conversation.

To talk to her!

Paige, please.

Okay. Stop.

Charles, just take a deep breath.

Everyone thinks that a wedding day

should be the happiest day of their lives,

but it's stressful,

overwhelming and over before you know it.

Janet needs support today.

Help her focus on what's actually important.

You and her.

You're right.

Charles wait! That's not what I meant.

We have a groom on the loose!

Hey. Do you mind?

Yeah. Sure.

I just need to run to the freezer and clear up some space.

Hey. I'm sorry by the way.

The other day when I left so abruptly.

I was just feeling a little overwhelmed.

When I was a kid, I used to hate going to the dentist.

After the appointment, my Mom and I would drive home

and we'd make cupcakes together.

By the time we baked them and iced them,

then the fluoride would set in, and we'd eat them together.

Just the two of us.

Probably not the best idea, after the dentist.

Your Mom was a very smart woman.

Yeah, she knew how to turn any bad situation

into a good one.

But she's not here anymore.

Hey, I'd be more than happy to make you cupcakes,

whenever you need them. Okay?

Thank you.

Groom on the loose!

Sorry. Can you just hold on one sec?

(INDISTINCT SHOUTING)

(PAIGE) No no no.

Charles! Stop!

No no. Charles! Stop!

Charles, you're not supposed to see me.

Babe, I had to.

(JANET) Couldn't you just text?

No! I'm done with texting! We need to talk.

I'm so sorry Janet.

It's okay.

Fine. We can just talk through the screen.

Did you see our numbers online?

No. I didn't see our numbers...

Our highest ever. At first I was feeling really nervous,

but I'm just going to run with it.

I'm going to post about pre-aisle jitters.

We never agreed to live posting our wedding.

Well, I never thought about it,

but I mean, this is really good material!

I mean, there is no 'right' way to be a bride.

Janet, this is way too much. I mean...

Oh. Okay, but how, I mean. Be specific.

Followers relate to specifics.

Wait. Are you on your phone right now?

Yeah, I'm live blogging. I told you.

I don't want to marry your phone!

Is that specific enough?

I now pronounce you "man and wifi". (CHUCKLES)

I'm serious.

You are always distracted,

half a world away when you're on your phone.

I don't even remember the last time

you actually told me that you love me.

Not with little heart emojis over texts,

but actually said the words.

Charlie.

I know how important the wedding planning is to your blog,

but, it's our wedding day, and...

I miss you.

Babe, I'm right here.

I love you.

I love you too.

Once the ceremony starts, the planning part is done. Right?

We're paying photographers to take pictures.

So, please, no phones today?

Okay. Deal. No phones.

Okay.

I will be the one in the tux with the biggest smile.

I can't wait.

The model they sent us over for the charity gala

- has a really bad reputation. - (STEPHEN'S PHONE RINGS)

That's a shame.

Well then we're walking away...

Stephen isn't available at the moment.

Oh. Interesting.

You know, every time I've called this past week,

he is surprisingly unavailable.

Could you tell me when he might be available?

I can't tell you that, James.

Then why don't you ask him Kendall,

because I know he's there,

and I will call every hour if I have to!

James, for the love of...

Stephen!

What a pleasure to hear your voice.

Stop calling! We're done.

We're not done.

Let me be clear. You're done!

(STEPHEN) How dare you go behind my back?

Those were my designs!

You're just a washed up reality star with a lazy slipstitch!

Your career in New York is over.

Okay. Let's not be dramatic.

I'm on my way back to New York as we speak.

We can work all of this out in person!

Wow! Janet, you look stunning.

Whoo. It's happening.

It's really happening!

- You ready? - Uh-huh.

Kailyn, cue music.

Breathe.

Take your time walking down the aisle.

Enjoy every step.

You're the bride today!

This was not in Mom's notes.

Everybody please stay calm!

It's just a blown fuse, or something.

I'm sure the power will be back up in just a few minutes.

Janet!

You promised. No phones.

Extenuating circumstance.

Are you serious?

You know how important this is to me.

Maybe you should just marry your phone.

Viral for sure.

(INDISTINCT WHISPERING)

What?

What? What now?

So, it's actually not just here.

It's a city-wide blackout.

Maybe it's, it's... I don't know.

Good luck?

Oh! Good luck?

It could take hours for the power to come back.

This is not good luck.

Janet, we still have a couple hours before the sun sets.

Oh! And then what? We just sit in the dark?

No food? No music?

I'm sure that Paige and Hannah

will be able to whip a plan in no time.

Please, follow me.

Okay. What do we do?

What would Mom do?

She'd make cupcakes!

Hannah, I'm pretty sure the ovens aren't...

Wait a minute! You're right!

I mean, we already have all the ingredients

we need for a great wedding.

We have Mom's notes, the vendors, the guests.

We can still make this special.

Exactly.

I'm really pleased you got that from "cupcakes".

Let's take this party outside.

There's a beautiful canopy of trees out there.

I think it's the old Scout Camp.

Let's just do it there.

Okay. Okay. Done.

Great. You tell Janet.

What?

But the plane still has power.

I can see its lights.

I'm sorry sir.

But no planes will be leaving this airport

during a power outage.

I need to get to New York immediately.

I understand. And I would suggest...

It sounds like you are going to tell me to take the bus.

I'm certainly not going to take the bus.

Actually, I was going to say that you're not even going

to be able to get a cab unless you have cash.

Banking's down too sir.

Ugh.

Hey, aren't you that guy?

(SCOFFS) He's definitely that guy.

We need to set up the chairs for the ceremony.

Uh. Right over here, facing the archway. Thank you.

Christopher! Hi.

These Scout's barbecues are located

on the east end of the parking lot.

Nope, nope. Sorry, west end. Thank you.

You can set them up right over there.

Any excuse to grill!

It's a beautiful day for an outdoor wedding. Remember that.

Okay.

(PAIGE'S PHONE RINGS)

Dan, hi. Are the girls okay?

Yeah, we're fine. We're just squirming.

We're trying to figure out how to...

Actually...

I know this isn't exactly what you had planned.

But you've got to trust me on this one.

And I promise you, this is already a day

that your guests won't soon forget.

But now we have the opportunity

to make it truly memorable.

Oh! I have service!

Hashtag Blackout is trending.

Hon, quick, let's take a selfie.

You still don't get it! Enough with the phone!

Okay. I wasn't carrying it down the aisle.

Having it holstered, was that much better?

Charlie, with the blackout, the traffic on my site is

just skyrocketing. Okay?

The Bridal Brigaders,

they want to know what's going to happen.

And this wedding could go viral!

Okay. Is today just about getting more followers?

You want to be a bride so badly that...

Did you even care who the groom was?

Charlie.

The one thing that I asked

was for you to put away your phone today.

I want you to look at me.

Really be here for our commitment.

What I do on my phone is who I am.

It's not a hobby, it's my life.

It's your job. This is your life!

And you're missing it!

My followers, they have supported me

through all those years of being the bridesmaid, okay.

They gave me a purpose.

I owe it to them to be a part of this wedding.

I guess that's the difference

between me and your followers.

I don't care about the wedding!

I just want to marry you.

Do you even love me?

Or do you just want to be a bride?

Charlie!

Charlie, wait.

Paige. Hey lady!

Sally, I'm at the Baylon estate

with the Janet/Charles Wedding.

Oh! It must be getting dark over there.

Yeah. We're trying to look on the bright side, but...

We could really use some help.

Oh, well. I can spare a few of our generators.

Thank you!

I wish power was our only hitch right now.

But I'm more concerned with the actual wedding.

Oh no. Trouble with the bride and groom?

At Premium Bridal we offer a 'marriage boot camp'

to couples so that we can screen them and prep them

for the stress of the big day.

I tried to pitch it to Marguerite, but

she was always so resistant to the future of wedding planning.

You're right.

Mom was all about remembering the past.

Listen Paige.

I am more than happy to help you with generators

for tonight but why are you putting yourself through this?

I mean, trying to run a business

with Hannah and James? (SALLY SNICKERS)

Even you must admit it's a little naive.

You know what Sally?

I don't think we need your back up power in the end.

We don't need all the bells and whistles from Premium Bridal.

Sorry, I got to go. I have a sunset to catch.

(INDISTINCT CONVERSATION)

What do you think about us lighting a bonfire

to help keep things bright?

A bonfire.

Charles would have loved that.

We first met by a campfire.

I remember. It's a beautiful story.

Hey. We'll create some lovely new memories today.

I don't think a million bonfires is going to make

Charles forgive me.

Are you kidding?

Do you know how that man looks at you?

If that isn't love, I don't know what is.

I know.

But he's right.

I mean, I've been so consumed with my followers

that I totally left him out.

I left us out.

I've completely ruined my own wedding day.

Janet, you did not ruin anything.

Do you remember your very first post?

My Mom said going back to where it all began

actually helps people move forward.

Thank you so much for helping out.

If you don't mind lighting some lanterns,

that would be awesome. Thank you.

Looks like it getting pretty dark out here.

James!

Hello.

You do not want to know what I did to get a generator.

- No you didn't. - We have power.

Thank you!

Let's make it sparkle out here.

James and I got this covered.

I think you need to ask Christopher

if he needs lights for his table.

Well, okay then.

Who's Christopher?

He's really cute.

Fantastic.

Hey.

Paige is lighting a bonfire when the sun sets

to keep the party glowing.

Cool. I'm sure you'll get a nice picture out of that.

Charlie, I, uh...

I was looking at my first post, "The One and Only Look".

Really? You want to talk about social media right now?

It was at Matt and Ashley's wedding.

I wrote: "An ugly dress doesn't change the person

inside it. Always bring a shawl so you won't be cold.

Speeches run long because love and gratitude

can't be kept to a three minute time cap.

Ultimately, if I am ever lucky enough to find a man

who looks at me the way Matt looks at Ashley,

I will hold onto him and never let him go".

Charlie.

When you look at me, I feel so completely loved.

And supported. Accepted. Worthy.

I never meant to obsess over the event instead of us.

And I never meant to lose sight

of what was right in front of me.

So here.

Janet.

I'm really proud of what you've built with your followers.

The last thing I want is for you to resent me in a few years.

I just needed you to be here with me today.

I don't want you to stop doing what you love.

I love you. I love you so much.

But today, it's about us, not posting.

I can get back to my social next week.

And hopefully one day, we can post together

about raising a family with the love of your life.

But I can't post about life if I don't live it first.

I don't need this.

So, Charlie. Will you sit around campfires with me

until we are old and gray and don't even know

how technology works anymore?

Until we forget how to set the clock on the microwave?

Yeah, absolutely.

I love you.

I love you too.

Oh, it smells amazing!

Thanks for being so flexible.

Anything for Marguerite. And your family.

Honestly, I'm just so excited to be cooking over

an open flame again.

Come check this out.

So my ice cream cake

wouldn't have made it without refrigeration.

So I went back to the shop and I iced these.

I love it. It really works. It's perfect.

Well you know. Cupcakes always come in handy.

No, I'm good.

Icing first, the best part.

Christopher. This is, this is amazing.

Very unique.

Oh my goodness! Have you tried the barbecue chicken?

It's delicious!

I love the band.

My cousins are dancing barefoot on the grass!

Do you think we can maybe start the bonfire?

You know, keep the party going?

Just what I was thinking.

We're gathering wood by the Scouts' old fire pit.

Perfect. Just like when we met.

Marshmallows!

Yes! I love it!

Can we do that?

Yeah. Yes!

I'm going to teach you a thing or two, Master Roaster.

Okay.

Paige, where are we going to get marshmallows at this hour?

I ah...

My shop? Just a thought.

No no no no. You've done so much already.

Please. You can't have a bonfire without marshmallows.

Come on.

Wow, I had no idea you had

a full commercial kitchen back there.

I run a bakery and I do catering.

I need a lot of ovens.

Ambitious!

I can't help it. It's in my blood.

My Grandmother taught me everything I know about cooking.

She went to the Cordon Bleu in Paris.

And my Grandfather had a bakery in Italy.

Their love of food brought them together.

That's so romantic.

That, or they were hungry.

- Marshmallows! - Yup, yup. Marshmallows.

Where are those? Did you say?

We should probably get you back to the wedding.

Before they eat all the cupcakes.

I'm so full, though. (SNORTS)

Oh!

Did you just snort?

Uh no, no I didn't.

to everyone who made tonight so incredible:

Paige, Hannah, and James.

And especially Marguerite.

This wouldn't have been possible without you.

Let's just all take a moment and

remember the ones we love and mean the most to us.

This has been the best day of my life.

The day I got to marry my best friend.

I love you.

I love you.

For those guests who weren't able to make it here tonight,

may your light, and the love that we will always have for you,

shine bright.

(HANNAH) The power's back on!

(PAIGE) The power's back on!

I daresay Mom would be quite proud.

Yeah. She should be.

Yeah. We were great.

We made a campfire.

Charles burnt every single one of his marshmallows, right?

He could not take his eyes off his new wife.

It's true!

I'm going to do this. All of this.

I want to step up.

I want to keep Mom's legacy alive.

She knew we could do it. That we could make it work.

That's why she left us the playbook.

Yes. We could actually do this. I'm in!

James, you could help with the brides, designing gowns,

sourcing accessories.

Tell me you don't love the shoes. Tell me.

It's the Jordan/Jordan wedding next week.

Who doesn't love a bride and groom with matching first names?

And I love that you guys think that I have nothing

in my world outside of the two of you.

But I do have to get back to New York.

Take a little break?

Pretty please?

I can maybe take off a couple weeks.

I have some unused vacation time.

But I am very expensive.

All for love...

(TOGETHER) And love for all!

It will be nice to spend some time with the two of you.

I just, I don't know about bridal wear!

Oh! Lace.

All right my loves, let's go get some sleep.

Paige, it's your Mom.

Today is the first day of the rest of your life.

Your future is so bright.

And I can't wait to see you and Dan

(MARGUERITE ON VIDEO) I love you so much.

And I love weddings because they bring people together

and they remind us of what's really important.

Family, connection, love.

That's what it's all about.

(MARGUERITE ON VIDEO) Cherish each other

Dance like fools.

We could all use a little bit more of that in our lives.

Life is so short.

But love, it lasts a very long time.

A lifetime.

Salut.

(SMOOCH)

Congratulations my darling.

(PAIGE ON VIDEO) Mom, come on.

(MARGUERITE ON VIDEO) I'm coming!

(VO) Next time on The Wedding Planners...

We have this huge Italian Wedding.

I actually have a bunch of sewing to do.

That's too bad because it's at our family's winery.

I'll be there.

Clarksons are coming over.

I'm okay. We're taking care of everything else.

Please just let them do their jobs.

I don't know I'm doing.

- Want to dance? - Sure.

I don't even know half the people that Papa's invited.

I can't do this.

We have 438 guests due to arrive at the winery in 48 hours,

and we might not have a bride and groom.
