This app can match you to your perfect dress.

And they even have a presto delivery option

so we can have it here by next week!

Honey! You are going to look amazing in any of these.

Thank you.

I can't wait for Hannah's opinion when she gets here.

Look, we can order through the app.

We don't have to go anywhere.

We can plan our wedding from here. From this cafe.

I'm sure we'll get the most out of our web-coupon

with Clarkson Wedding Essentials.

You sure will!

- Hey guys. - Hey!

So, since our last meeting, I went over some of Mom's files

to catch up on some of the conversations you had with her.

To keep us on track.

Exactly. We going to need to update the budget a little bit

and finalize some of the key details.

Okay but my priorities are the dress, accessories, shoes.

And what collar should Mellow wear.

One decorated with sparkles or flowers?

Because Mellow can pull off anything.

Let's focus on finalizing your dress first.

So it sounds like we're looking at something custom.

So I have just the designer for that.

Whoops!

Looks like our kind of guy!

Yeah, that's my brother. He's some kind of guy.

Let's go consult James back at the office

and then we can come back when Christopher gets here

to talk cakes.

What is your opinion on these shoes?

Let's play a little credit card roulette.

- Synced and corrected by Firefly - - www.addic7ed.com -

Ah, so, Paige should be here any minute.

But, remind me. What do the two of you do again?

I'm a graphic designer and Lauren is a paper artist.

How did you the two of you get engaged?

Oh, well we actually got engaged twelve times.

- What? - Yeah.

The first time was at the state park when we were hiking.

But because there was no audience,

Leo proposed eleven more times.

Any time we went to dinner or a gallery or anywhere really.

Ladies and gentlemen! If I could have your attention.

Will you marry me?

Yes! For the fourth time.

Yeah!

Lauren.

Will you marry me?

Yes. For the seventh time.

Yes!

It never gets old.

Any idea where you want this?

Ah, just on the table is fine for now.

It's just a printer.

I know. It's just a small, everyday thing to think about.

It's not that small. I had to carry it through the...

Okay.

I'm in charge now.

I'm in charge of modernizing.

And satisfying clients. And finding new business.

And ordering paperclips.

You can do this.

You have been working for Marguerite and running

this family just fine for years.

And don't knock paperclips.

They are important and you can't have papers

willy nilly loosely all over the place.

And we also know people understand running a company.

Like Sally.

Just have a coffee with her like you used to.

Vent a little.

Yeah I can talk about James and Hannah being...

James and Hannah.

What I need to talk about is the business finances.

Look, I went through everything.

It just doesn't add up.

Yeah, I guess this isn't really a good time.

For... ?

I lost the Jansen's jewelry account.

It happened before the funeral.

And I didn't want to add more that week for you.

Dan, that was one of your biggest accounts.

I know.

There goes our family vacation.

Losing Mom is having all these residual ripples.

I don't know if I can handle this.

Your Mom taught you how to dance through it.

You sound like her.

You're right, you're right.

I have everything that Mom taught me.

Including: "Don't be late for your clients"!

Get out of here.

Oh, I keep forgetting.

Pastor Evan has called the house a few times.

- He's left a couple messages. - Ah, sure. I'll call him back.

Hey! Do you remember Lauren and Leo?

Yes. Nice to see you again.

Okay.

So. I am just reviewing your budget.

Which is...

Fifteen thousand dollars.

We've got the Carmichael Hall booked for the reception

and St. Augustine's for the service.

And your date is...

Oh, wow. Fast approaching.

Plus we've been doing some planning on our own.

So, James is maybe going to do some custom work on her gown.

Um...

Their budget is a little sparse for custom anything.

Hey, Paige.

Just reminding you you have an 11 o'clock.

Well I'm sure James and I can fit

their dreams into their budget.

Of course.

Yeah, I mean, moderation is my middle name.

Okay. I guess double bookings are a good thing.

You two are in good hands.

Hi.

Leo and Lauren, meet James 'Moderation' Clarkson.

He's been focusing on our wedding gowns.

- Oh. - And accessories. And color palettes and,

I believe, there was a mood board?

Right. Let's not get too ahead of ourselves.

James has been working with Stephen Hawson's label lately.

He's got quite a flair and a few opinions of his own.

Yeah, right there.

Okay. Tighten it.

Kendall!

I do not permit you to disturb me when I'm in the zone.

You know that.

- Yes. I do. - And?

And I'm also here to make sure that more work gets done.

- And? - And more work gets done

when there's more people to do the work.

Go.

Do not ask me to call James.

I will never return his calls. Ever. Again!

He went behind my back and used my brand's resources

on his own collection.

I had to tell my investors that we were over budget and

they cut back my Fall and Winter collection.

Cut back Kendall!

Stephen Hawson doesn't get cut back.

Especially not because of some climber like James.

But, he brought his A game to the creative.

He worked hard. He cared.

It's not my place to say it, but the gossips are saying

he deserved his own collection.

James Clarkson's own collection was one of

the worst the gossips have ever seen.

So I don't think so.

Okay maybe...

I shouldn't have fired the guy

on the day of his Mother's funeral.

But it was just another Thursday in the fashion business.

Maybe he deserved his own collection with you.

Kendall.

I do not permit you to tell me how to run my business.

Go.

Okay.

See like this.

But this length and with sleeves like this.

Well you've certainly given plenty of options.

Which I can blend into something chic.

If you'll just give me one sec.

Okay.

So, is he going to call me back?

Not going to happen.

Sorry, I tried.

Love...

It's like a James Clarkson time capsule.

My biggest believer.

And archivist, apparently.

_

Oh, people, please!

Go easy on the eyeliner!

Remember...

This is Breakfast at Tiffany's meets Industrial Chic. Huh?

Let's get back to work.

What do you think? Off white?

Ah, see. My new addiction to vintage accessories is paying off.

This one.

Look at this! I am so proud of you.

This is all your vision.

Hannah?

Could you do some finals on the models over there?

- And Paige... - Yes.

I am anointing you guardian of the clipboard.

Okay.

Who is wearing above all grace?

James?

James, where are you?

Ah, I'm up in the loft.

Hey, we're kind of in the middle of a planning session.

Yeah, she kind of kept everything.

You should see the old tapes I found.

I didn't know she had all these vintage gems.

I feel like when we all moved out,

Mom just started online shopping like crazy.

You do get your eye from her though, you know.

Okay Hannah Banana.

Let's get back to the wedding business.

Apologies for the remodeling commotion.

I like to refresh every couple of seasons.

No worries.

I'll be right down.

All right.

It says here that you would like to do a wedding

in a few months, and you'd like some upscale choices.

Yes. I want to spoil Genie with the most gorgeous day possible.

And do you have a budget in mind?

Well I had no real notion just yet

but I want it to be a memorable event.

How many guests?

I would say most of the neighbors.

About forty.

I was thinking of a Southern Belle theme.

You know with mint juleps and those finger sandwiches.

An afternoon affair. Delicious!

This is Genie?

Well heavens yes.

Okay.

Arthur, the Henderson's dog,

will just be wearing a little bow tie.

And cuff links.

We were thinking a Saturday.

A Saturday. Okay.

Let me see what we have available.

What about next Saturday?

- Sure. Next Saturday. - Very good.

I want this to be the most glorious day for Genie.

So we are exactly on budget.

Ninety-five dollars under, I'm happy to say.

Nice! We appreciate that.

Are these arches included in our package?

No, that's in the Crystal Wedding Package.

So. Let's talk about the cake.

Is seven tiers in our budget?

I don't think seven tiers fits into the budget.

Ah. Okay. I can wrangle this budget.

You're pet friendly, right?

We'll have to add an additional charge

for a whole new level of cleaning.

Mellow has to be here.

Whatever the price.

How about we skip the groom's cake?

What?

I don't get a cake now?

It's okay.

Let me just revisit the numbers.

I'm sure we could think of something.

I'm a cake wizard

so if you give me a couple photos I can follow.

It's true. He is.

Wow!

These are amazing!

How's everybody doing

in these weeks since the funeral?

Well, I don't think we've had the time to process any of it.

And James?

Is he headed back to New York?

James is still here although he keeps telling us

he's going go back soon.

And Hannah seems okay although

she has the tendency of bailing when things get hard.

Well, I don't know about bailing because I've seen her

hanging around Christopher's cafe a lot lately.

- Really? - Yes.

- Huh! - Can you blame her?

He makes good coffee.

How about you? How're things going?

Oh well, you know.

I'm still trying to hire for the position.

But I don't think I'm going to have a hard time finding

someone to accept a six figure salary.

I'm sorry. What?

Sally, you didn't tell me you were offering that much!

You didn't ask.

You simply said you weren't interested.

The money is tempting, believe me.

Dan has had few clients leave.

And I'm pretty sure our business is heading to the dogs.

Ah, seriously.

How is business?

Clarkson's booked for the next little while.

Thanks to Mom.

Paige. Come on.

I know what financial stress can do to a marriage.

Dan and I aren't stressed per Se.

I just trying to give you some options.

Okay? You know that I would love to hire you.

You could generate new business,

travel overseas for sourcing.

Not to mention what the financial freedom

can do for you.

I know, but I love Mom's business.

Fine. Fair enough.

But I mean you, Hannah and James

all on the same payroll, come on.

Hannah and James have very reasonable expectations.

'James' and 'reasonable'

have never lived in the same sentence before!

You know that. Come on.

Job offer aside, I want you to know I am also prepared

to make a significant offer on Clarkson Wedding Essentials.

What? No. No. Sally, you...

I can't...

You don't have to say anything, okay.

I am just going to write down a figure

so you know what I'm thinking.

And then you can share it with "wandering" Hannah

and "reasonable" James.

Come on.

Pastor Evan!

I'm so sorry I haven't returned any of your calls.

I've just been so busy.

I haven't had the time.

You know Paige, we can talk anytime. About anything.

It doesn't have to be a reason.

We can share memories. Talk about Marguerite.

I need that too.

I feel like I've lost my mentor and my anchor,

all at once.

And now I have to be there for James and Hannah.

And, I don't know. I don't think I'm ready.

Sure you are.

Even if your mind doesn't thinks you're up to it,

your heart knows better.

Sometimes the rawest periods in our lives,

they can really open up our hearts to new possibilities,

new paths.

You know, I've been weighing the pros and cons

of this job offer.

It's a great opportunity. But...

I'm torn.

Do you know what your Mom would say?

She would say that being my own boss

instead of working at someone else's schedule

is worth the weight of the crown.

See how she's still here for you?

Yeah. Thank you.

I needed that.

You know, she was always Team Clarkson.

She'd want to know that James and Hannah

were fitting into the business well.

We're all trying anyway.

It's all you can do.

_

Thank you.

I've been going through all of these "stages" and

the one that I'm struggling the most to get past is denial.

How so?

I don't know what I'm supposed to do.

But I'm not ready for everyone to pity me.

Especially not the kids.

You know Marguerite, not all of life journeys are meant

to be shared.

Some of them are just ours alone.

And this path you're on,

it doesn't give you much control.

Right. It doesn't.

I can't control that my body is not responding the way

that the doctors hoped.

But you can control how you live through these days.

Only you can do that.

I don't want to share this awful illness with the kids.

But I do want them closer now.

And I want them together.

They'll be close to you.

Oh. Have you checked her emails?

Ah...

Well her password is her first pet's name

and her birthday, just in case you need it.

Thank you. I'll check it tomorrow.

Okay.

You know you can call me, Paige.

Anytime.

Thank you.

Clarkson Wedding Essentials.

You got a man, we got a plan.

Yup. One second. She's here.

It's that hunky caterer.

Which one?

Really?

Hello.

Hey Christopher. What's up?

I'm so sorry.

No, we don't want that coming out of your pocket.

Okay. Talk soon. Bye.

Leo's catering check bounced.

What?

Wow. Dream clients.

Ah, you guys! Mom loved these two.

Yeah, but Mom had one employee.

Now that three of us are taking the salaries,

we need to focus on high paying clients.

More bookings, bigger business.

You sound like Sally.

Sally is a very successful businesswoman.

And our competitor!

Yeah, but she's not wrong.

Right now two out of three of our weddings coming up

this month are turning a profit.

Do you know what that means?

Two out of three ain't bad?

Really?

No, no, I hear you Paige.

I'm calling Leo right now.

I'm going to get to the bottom of these money issues.

Thank you.

Yeah, I know Hannah.

Yeah, I'm going to sort that all out tomorrow.

I promise. Yeah. Okay.

Bye.

Hey, I've been thinking about something.

This house is a little small for when I move in.

What are you talking about?

Why don't we take the wedding money and instead

start building our life together.

Put a down payment on some property.

Something modest, out of the city.

Mellow would love the long walks in the forest.

You could have your own studio.

Off leash.

Chasing all the squirrels he wants.

I love it.

And we could get married at town hall.

Just you and me.

Because all that matters is that you and I love each other.

My parents got married at town hall with just the clerks.

Mom always said she regretted it.

Later, she wished her sisters had been there.

That there've been a real photographer.

Yeah, I guess I'd miss my sisters too.

Leo, there's another reason this wedding

is so important to me.

Tell me.

When I was growing up we moved around a lot.

I didn't get to have many friends

and I missed a lot of the usual kid celebrations.

I feel like I'm finally putting down roots.

Like I finally have something to celebrate.

We both do.

All right.

Big wedding here we come.

Let's crunch some numbers.

Let's crush some numbers!

Oh no! Mellow!

Did he just swallow that tin foil?

Call the emergency vet!

Mellow! Mellow!

How was your day?

"Stressful as usual Dan. That's why I'm ignoring you?"

Paige!

Oh hey.

Hey.

Can I show you something?

What is this? The weekly lottery?

Sally's offer to buy Clarksons.

Whoa!

So, she tried to poach you,

and now she wants to buy the business?

Yep.

I can't tell James and Hannah.

Why, because they wouldn't want to sell?

No, because they totally would!

And then Mom's legacy is just poof! Gone.

And then I'd have to work "for" Sally.

Not necessarily.

Maybe Sally wants to keep the Clarkson branding.

It could be its own division and you guys could all stay on.

I doubt it.

James is going to head back to New York in a heartbeat

and Hannah's just probably going to take off.

Yeah, but you would have a solid pay check and...

A vacation, maybe.

I know.

I've just never seen so many zeros on that side of the decimal point.

These are life-changing zeros.

Yeah, they are.

Whatever you decide, though, I support you.

Well other than that huge news, how was your day?

Well a woman asked us to plan her dog's wedding.

That's hitting a new low.

Yeah. Thanks, Mom.

But it is giving me some perspective.

Do you mean with regard to your grouchiness?

Yeah.

I clearly haven't been able to hide that.

You have good reasons.

Can we talk?

I'm worried about us.

You and me.

I just feel like we've been two ships lately.

We will always come back to the harbor.

You're just figuring out this business.

It's not going to be this crazy forever.

Okay.

Thank you.

Doesn't the same thing happen in fashion?

Really great collections

come out of tough times and little money?

Well I'm the last person to consult on money matters.

Not exactly my strongest skill.

Maybe if we focus on the right side of our brains,

and come at it from the place of love,

we can find a way for them.

I think I might need a new way myself.

You've always known your way while we mere mortals

are still struggling to find ours.

I am more mortal than you think.

Um, I'm in a bit of a spiral.

I pushed Stephen too far and, reveal,

he wants me out of the business.

He says I have no concept of money and that I have been

over spending on my own collections and neglecting

the Hawson signature lines.

Imagine that.

So, I'm no good at budgeting at work

and even worse with my personal finances.

And it's New York so everyone expects you

to live and look a certain way. And...

I am swimming in debt.

No. Don't. Please.

It gets worse. Um...

The night of the blackout I stole money

from Mom's petty cash to get back to New York.

You what? James!

I know it's awful. I feel awful.

You betrayed our trust! Mom's trust.

What were you thinking?

I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

I know how hard it is for you to come clean.

And I also know that Mom would want us to pull together now.

I didn't want to shatter her belief in me.

I think that's why I didn't return her calls

because I didn't want her to hear the failure in my voice.

James.

Mom loved you so much.

We all make mistakes. It's okay.

Well, while we're at it...

Sally offered me a six-figure salary.

- Sally offered you a job? - Yeah.

What? Just out of the blue?

Before Mom died.

You went behind Mom's back?

It's not like that Hannah.

Mom always supported my career. All of our careers.

I could use some of that support right now.

Sorry. I know. We all could.

Guys, we have an opportunity here

to create a great life for ourselves.

Just like Mom did.

But that's not going to happen if we're not all fully in.

I'm going to tell Sally a firm "no".

Okay, um...

I'll send for my stuff in New York.

I'm in.

I've always been in.

But am I equally in?

No "little sister" short straw?

Yes. Equal.

Okay, then I'm in.

Okay now, we need a win to get back on track.

Maybe Mom's looking out for us?

Speaking of which, her playbook sent me to a meeting

with a woman who actually wants to hold a wedding for her dog.

I legitimately live, laugh, love for canine couture.

Oh land line.

Clarkson Wedding Essentials. You have desires...

Leo?

Hey. Slow down, slow down, slow down.

Mellow ate tinfoil! Is he okay?

Ah.

Well it sounds like the vet saved his life.

Yeah yeah. Come right in.

Whoa.

Nola wants to know if the kimono print is ready.

Did you check the order status book?

It isn't up to date yet.

James usually does that every morning.

Fine.

Just get me the supplier's number.

They're only in for one more hour.

Time zones.

Nola also wants to know why James hasn't dropped by lately.

What did you tell her?

That his Mother passed away recently.

Excellent!

Not excellent that she died.

My prayers are with the family.

We can't hide it that he's not here forever.

You have to let the others know.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. I just don't have to do it today.

I still have a bit of time to stitch that story together.

Meanwhile, Hawson's is a James-free zone.

Peaceful. Calm.

Yep. Tranquil.

Very tranquil.

Bridget's stylist was also calling about her dress

for the music awards next week.

She said James usually books her in two weeks in advance.

- Just in case. - Yeah, well tell her that I say that

two weeks is a bloated time frame.

Book Bridget for Monday.

Celebrities. I tell you.

Mellow's been with Lauren for years.

We had to get him to surgery.

He's in our hearts, you know?

I think you made the right decision.

I'm afraid our only savings was the wedding fund.

I have no idea what we're going to do now.

We're not really sure if we can even pay you

for your time this week.

Listen, we really wish we could help both of you

during this tough time, but unfortunately...

You know, I want to do more than just wish.

I want to give you a personal,

heartfelt and inexpensive wedding.

I don't know how I'm going to do that yet,

but we have to get creative.

Let's see if we can bend those numbers.

Our Mother would have wanted you to have a day

that is worthy of your love.

I think you volunteering to make the cake was very kind.

I have a really great cake mentor on speed dial.

He's also really kind. Yeah.

Shall we?

Yeah. Let's do it.

Beautiful.

Agreed.

You're a culinary genius.

Agreed.

Okay. I'll see you in a bit.

Yeah.

Sorry.

Yeah, go ahead.

Thank you.

Judith. Hi.

I need to review our checklist.

One. Genie's diamond bow.

Yes, the jeweler...

Oh, finished it today. So I'm going to pick it up tomorrow

on my way to the office.

Excellent.

Make sure the diamonds are princess cut, not cushion cut.

They look similar but they very much are not.

They most certainly are not, Judith.

I'll double check in the morning.

To veil, or not to veil?

Ah, well, I have samples in organza, tulle, lace.

Just bring Genie in and I'll do a fitting.

Perfect.

Genie will let us know if she likes any of them.

Or not.

Three.

Snacks for the reception.

Oh, ah, so the bakery started...

Sorry, the barkery started making the liver treats tower

and the bow-wownies.

And the custom ceramic water bowls arrived yesterday.

So all is good.

You're a life saver, Paige.

What would I do without you?

Well, it's my pleasure.

Umm...

It's going to be delicious.

Oh.

Here. For you.

Okay, I'm confused.

How did you know I like cinnamon in my coffee?

I know things.

Like you came in to try my chicken pot pie.

And you're here because it's hard to be

around your siblings 24/7.

Okay. You do know some things.

I love Paige and James, but with everything that's been going on,

it's just been overwhelming. You know?

Yeah. It's hard to lose someone.

I miss my grandfather.

He was 95 when he passed away.

Yeah. It's just so funny.

The three of us have been reverting to our old child-like ways.

It's so weird.

And I want to vent about my co-workers to my family,

but they are my co-workers.

Can't win.

Well I'm always here to listen.

Yeah? All right, well. Send me the bill.

Hey do you need any more help with the nice couple?

The champagne taste on beer budget?

Christopher!

You are a genius!

This is yours. Thank you!

Hey James! I need you!

Shocking! What's up?

Are you still in touch with that guy ran the Red Line Brewery?

Remember? Where you did your first fashion show.

Yeah. We keep in touch.

They let us have the venue for free, right?

As long as people bought beer?

Yeah. That was the deal.

And we were able to bring in our own food?

Yeah, but it's just a brewery not a restaurant so

you can kind of do whatever you want.

Hey! You're just in time!

Come check this out.

So, take a look at this venue.

Wow.

Right?

So, it's actually within your budget

if you pre-pay for some drinks and some beer.

Plus they let you bring in your own food,

so that doesn't mark up our cost too much.

It looks amazing.

You guys are awesome!

So, we're doing simplified floral arrangements,

we're doing banquet style seating. What else?

It looks like they have everything they need

including an amazing dress.

I think we're actually going to pull this off.

Let's get you two married!

We are gathered here today

to join Leo and Lauren in matrimony.

Lauren, you are my best friend.

I was always looking for you.

Here you are.

I am so grateful that we can wake up every day together,

for the rest of our lives.

I know we will always be a family.

Me and you. And Mellow.

Together. Forever.

The rings?

I now pronounce you husband and wife.

Let's go. Let's go.

I can't believe we pulled this off.

This might go down as the cheapest wedding

in the history of Clarkson Wedding Essentials.

The cheapest and the most beautiful.

Well, I would rather be here than in New York

with a room full of people who know the price of everything

and the value of nothing.

Here here!

I'm pretty sure you got that from Mom.

Yeah. I mean, obviously.

Oh I love this song!

I've got another wedding tomorrow.

So I'm out of here.

Of course. I hope she feels better.

Paige! Paige!

My friend Allen just called and his daughter spiked a fever!

And now he can't make it.

Okay, umm...

We can drop off a box of treats to him tonight.

Human treats!

That way he can still feel like he's part of the celebration.

No, not Allen the guest.

Allen the Officiant!

We've lost our Officiant?

It's horrible!

Judith. Everything's going to be okay.

We'll think of something fabulous.

Right.

It's not like it has to be an actual legal proceeding

or anything, right?

Right. All we need is someone who knows weddings inside out.

Welcome friends.

We are gathered here today to celebrate...

Puppy love.

Let us lift up our joyful hearts

as Genie and Arthur celebrate their togetherness.

Genie...

Do you take Arthur to be your puppy partner?

Arthur, do you take Genie to be your puppy partner?

I'll take that as a yes.

Genie, take this treat as a sign of Arthur's love.

And Arthur, take this treat as sign of Genie's love.

May you share companionship and playfulness

everyday for the rest of your lives.

You are now two dogs bound by love and commitment.

Arthur...

You may sniff the bride.

Pastor Evan. Twice in one week.

I'm blessed,

but this dog wedding really dragged me out.

Have you checked into your Mom's email?

I'm sorry. I forgot.

I ran into Dev from the Chamber of Commerce on Sunday.

He's looking for a reply.

He thought someone would be checking

into Marguerite's inbox.

I'm sorry. I'm a bit lost.

The new women's business initiative from the Chamber.

Oh. Yeah, I think maybe I saw something.

I was one of her community advocates

on her loan application.

Dev just had some final paperwork for you.

Because the money came through.

What money?

Business line of credit.

To help bolster new hirings and or acquisitions.

Your Mom was always looking out for you.

Next time on The Wedding Planners

A wedding on wheels. That's a first.

Married? You just started dating.

When did you get engaged?

I've got a meeting with Matt McCurdy!

What I've come here for is none of your concern

as we're not currently working together.

Our parents had a falling out after my folks won the lottery.

We're supposed to be family!

You two seem to be the best at what you do.

What do you say to a little healthy competition?

Fun.

Yeah, we need all hands on deck

if we're pulling this wedding off in a week.
