Previously on "McLeod's Daughters."

Oh.

Teresa Charlotte McLeod,

will you marry me?

(upbeat music)

Yes.

You asked your mum.

Yeah, yeah,
I didn't wanna say anything before.

I was a bit afraid she
might not wanna come.

Well, that's great.

It really is, I think it's fantastic.

Nick needs someone stable,
somebody sensible.

Five years?

Let's face it,
you've never committed to anything

for longer than five minutes, have you?

Now, if you really care about Nick,

you won't let this go any further.

(gentle orchestral music)
(birds chirping)

Tess?

I take you as my wife.

You've forgotten already?

Oh, I knew it yesterday.

It doesn't look good
if I have to prompt you

on your vows, Nick, you have to practice.

I knew it 10 minutes ago,
I just went blank.

Well, maybe we should
practice some of the other stuff.

Like.

All right, rehearsal's over.

I've got a kilometer
of silk ribbon to get up.

Oh, you don't have to do this,
Meg, you're a guest.

Oh, a bit of decorating's no trouble,

since you got your city
friend to do the catering.

Well, you're a city friend now,
Meg, aren't you?

Well, actually, yes, I am,

since you snaffled up my little cottage.

Kirsty's late,

I hope she hasn't wrecked
her cooking schedule.

Mum, I thought you'd be
staying at the truck stop

with Terry, long showers together,
that sort of thing.

Oh, Terry'll be fine.

I'm needed here with so many people coming.

Jodi, please stop moving pot plants around.

Do something useful.

But it's a nicer curve now.

Ooh, bugs!

Okay, everyone relax,
no one's schedule is wrecked,

we're fine.

You getting nervous?
No, why should I be?

I don't know, usual bride stuff,

earthquakes, flood,
maybe an outbreak of the flu.

Nick and I are getting married tomorrow.

Yeah, that's if I can remember my vows.

And it's gonna be perfect.

Nothing is gonna stop us now.

(downbeat music)

Oh, Drover's is looking a picture.

Course, so much has happened
since we last saw each other.

(sighs) Very kind of you to invite me.

Well, a man has to have his
mum around on his wedding day.

That's right.
(Tess giggles)

A mum has to do the right thing by her son.

You gonna drop in at Killarney?

Uh, no, I don't think so.

Too many memories.

I hear young Sandra's
changed all the furniture.

Yeah, it's different over there.

So is Alex still in the old cottage?

Yeah, he'll have it all to himself now.

You'll have to stop in
there before you head off.

Oh, I'd love to,

but I better wait for an invitation.

Hello, hello.

Harry.

Didn't expect to see you here, Liz.

(Liz laughs)

Didn't realize you were coming at all.

Dad forget to mention it, did he?

You two know each other?

Yes, of course.

I remember Sandra from
when she was just a little girl,

cute as a button.

Harry, Sandra, tea?

Nah, I just dropped off the chairs,
but thanks.

Oh, this brings back memories,
doesn't it, Harry?

You know the last canopy we had

must've been for Alex's 21st.

It wasn't as flashy as this one, though.

I remember I had to get
it dry-cleaned afterwards.

(laughs) Oh,
he made such a lovely speech under it,

standing there between the two of us.

(laughs) You were wearing
that ridiculous white suit.

We'll see you all tomorrow, take care.

Later.
Mm.

Sun hasn't been kind to her skin, has it?

(Tess clears throat)

The woman was flirting with you,
it was embarrassing.

And you flirted back.
That's ridiculous.

I haven't flirted with Liz since 1973.

Well, it looked like flirting,
it sounded like flirting,

it made me feel about two inches tall,
thank you very much.

Well, I'm sorry if it looked that way.

And why didn't you tell me she was coming?

What's going on there?
I was gonna mention it.

I looked like an idiot, Harry.

For some reason,
I thought you might be a little sensitive

about Liz turning up, that's all.

Well, you were with her for 30 years,

that does take a bit of dealing with.

We just have a lot of shared memories.

Well, don't share them in front of me.

This weekend, don't share them at all.

(downbeat music)

Kirsty? (Laughs)

Hi.

Oh, you made it.

Sorry I'm late,
the crab meat wasn't ready first thing.

Are you doing our crab meat with avocado?

Yeah, we invented it together,
how could I leave it out?

Oh guys,
this is my old friend Kirsty Buren.

This is Jodi, one of my bridesmaids.

Hi.
Hi. (Giggles)

And Stevie, my best woman.

Prepare to be organized.

That's bridesmaid's talk for hello.

Oh right,
I heard there was a big wedding on.

Oh yeah.
Grab a box

if you're heading inside.

I'm so happy you're here.

Oh, how are you?
I'm good.

Oh, that's Dave, I think you'll like him.

He's funny.

Ladies.

Oh,
these (birds chirp) are for you and Nick.

They're love birds,
it seemed like a good idea.

Aw, they're gorgeous, thank you.

Now that's a couple of good-looking birds,

feathered and otherwise.

Tess said you were a riot.

Kirsty's doing our wedding lunch.

Ah perfect, she's beautiful and she cooks.

And she gave us a pair of love birds.

Well, no she hasn't, those are lorikeets.

No, they're love birds,

the pet shop guy told
me they're love birds.

(laughs) Oh,
and a pet shop guy would be an expert.

Ah, love birds are native to Africa,

their plumage is quite distinctive.

Uh, Dave's a vet.

Oh, with a thriving love bird practice,
I suppose.

Well, I prefer to work with animals

I can stick my arm inside, however,

I know a lorikeet when I see one,
and here I see two.

Well, I'll exchange them.

Need a new doona cover?

Excuse me.

You just irritated my caterer.

Strangely enjoyable.

You get everything under control,
you need a hand?

Just concentrate on learning your lines,
mate.

Um, are the suits ready?

Yeah, I'm picking them up now.

What about the kegs?
On my way back, mate.

What's up?

(sighs) Mum's staying not far from here.

Have a little chat, did ya?

Well,
I'm betting she's not turning up for tea.

You'll see her at the wedding.

Yeah,
well she can hang out with the great aunts.

So, you've forgiven everyone but her?

Pretty much.
Harry, Bryce...

Harry and Bryce didn't
lie to me my whole life.

Okay, okay,
big mistakes were made and all that.

But how long are you
gonna keep this up for?

Tomorrow's your chance.

To do what, forget about what's happened?

No, remember stuff.

Mum thought what she was doing was best,
Alex.

Best for who?

She's had 30 years to think about that lie.

30 years to get it right.

(door thudding)

Okay.

Why did you think I
would like that boofhead?

Well, I have bride hormones.

I want everyone to be as happy as I am.

I set you up with plenty of guys in college

and they were all less
irritating than vet boy.

You have some serious
food and equipment here.

I came prepared.

You had some food dinosaur
running the kitchen for 20 years,

didn't you? (Laughs)

Wasn't sure what to expect.

I'm Meg Fountain.

You can call me Megasaurus.

And I love what you've
done with this kitchen,

it's very impressive.

Can I chop or peel something?

That seafood could go in the fridge,

I'll prepare that tomorrow.

Crab and avocado with a sweet berry jus.

Jus, always a winner.

Jus all over the city.

Easier to spell than sauce, I suppose.

I'll roast the pine nuts

for the boccaccini and tomato bruschetta,

and I'll macerate the beef cheeks now.

Oh macerate, of course.

And I think I'll open a bottle of bubbly.

(phone rings)
Good idea, you go and baste

in those bride hormones.
Hello, Drover's.

Oh.
(hand thudding)

Ants, sorry.

Fold,

fold,

flip,

fold,

stack.

Like origami.
Right.

Yeah, I can help you guys out,

if you don't mind a few...

Ah no, no grease, thank you.

(laughs) Oh hey, Mum,
have you met Luke yet?

He works with Terry at the truck stop.

Oh, that's right.

He said you're the truck
stop's best mechanic.

Yeah well, only mechanic actually,

unless you count Terry, but you know,

that's a bit of a stretch.

Hey Luke, you bring some more tables?

Uh yeah, just cleared out the truck stop.

Terry's bringing the last of them in now.

Oh good,
people will have somewhere to spill

their drippy jus.

So how's everyone traveling?

Hitting the soda, did you?

Only if you count
champagne and orange juice.

Speaking of which.

Back soon, Liz wants another chat.

Oh, she calls, you run.

No, she's the mother-in-law,

she's allowed to order
the bride around a bit.

Thanks so much, Luke and Terry.

Hey uh, we better get back.

See ya.
Bye.

So, you coming up the truck stop tonight,
then, or?

Tomorrow night, then I'm all yours.

We've got so much to talk about.

(birds chirping)

I forgot to bring this in before.

It's for you and Nick.

Thank you.

Oh, it's a heavy one.

Mm, I know it's not normally done,

but would you open it now?

Uh, sure.

(giggling)

They're the best I could find.

Uh, thank you.

Oh, I know the tradition,

knives are supposed to be bad luck,

you have to buy them from me, Tess.

Oh, of course.

How about $2?

Fair enough.
No more bad luck.

I knew that you would like them.

Food is what you're good at.

Well, I'm better at shaping cattle now.

Yes, but don't you still dream

of having your own restaurant?

Uh, sometimes.

I did very well out of my divorce.

I have money now, more than enough,

(tense music)

and there's a restaurant for sale

not far from my place in the city.

It's right by the beach,
I would love to set you up in it.

Those knives are just the beginning.

I could give you your dream.

So you buy me a restaurant
and I give up marrying Nick.

Oh no, I didn't...
Is that the deal, Liz?

Surely Nick will come with you,
if he loves you.

You and I both know Nick

would never leave the land or Killarney.

Maybe, maybe not.

The offer's still there.

You have a bit to think about then.

This time tomorrow,
we'll be husband and wife.

Yep, I checked my diary,
tomorrow's good for me.

You still feel relaxed about everything?

Sure, I'm cleansed, I'm moisturized.

All systems go.

Your mum asked me over this afternoon.

She gave this present.

Oh, how'd that go?

Yeah, good, we, uh, chatted.

Good.

Oh, did you see her work on Alex,
make peace finally.

Peace?

Yeah, peace would be good.

You sure you're okay?

Yes, you rest up,
and I will see you tomorrow.

I'll be the one in white.

Ah, well Alex and I've got
these neat pink tuxedos,

you can't miss us.

(laughs) That's very funny Nick,
I'll see you tomorrow.

Bye.
See ya.

Bye.

(downbeat music)

Was that the compulsory

this time tomorrow we'll be married call?

Yeah, right-o.

Well, this is your compulsory

last beer as a single man beer.

(bottles popping)

Cheers.
Cheers, mate.

You know, we could go on to Gungellan,

maybe pull a good sort at
the pub for old time's sake.

I'm joking, mate.

You're a mess, aren't ya?

You reckon you'll sleep at all tonight?

No, probably not.

I keep doing the vows in my head.

I get through Tess,
I take you as my wife, then nothing.

Well,
just don't try to remember the whole thing.

Just remember the next word,
then it'll flow.

What's the next word?

I.

Maybe the next two words.

(laughing)

Nothing like it in the city, huh?

Not really.

I wish you were with me.

It's so good having you here again.

Come home, there's plenty of work to do.

Plenty to do where I am.

Not with your nose
buried in dusty old books.

How long's that gonna last?

I'm working with this guy

who's into early Australian authors.

I'm going back through piles of archives,

trying to dig up diaries, letters,

anything that sheds some
light on what they were thinking.

You're really into it, aren't you?

That's why I am good at it.

Well,
I think you should explain it to Terry.

I don't think he has a clue what you do.

Terry doesn't want the details.

I'm really enjoying myself,
I feel a bit awkward.

Well, Luke talks about engines
way past midnight sometimes

and I don't care.

Past midnight?

Is it serious, then?

No, it's fun.

And that's how it's meant to be, isn't it?

Absolutely, Luke's good practice.

What's that supposed to mean?

Well you know,
he's a bit of a rough diamond.

Like Terry?

(Meg laughs)
(bottles clink)

So if you ask me, you can do better.

Did I ask you?

You've said, what, 10 words to him?

I'm not saying don't see him.

Oh gee, thanks mum.

I think my shoes are done.

(door thudding)

Hello, Sandra.
Hey.

Found Harry going through

some old photo albums this afternoon.

Photos of a certain ex-wife.

What,
you would've burned all those old photos?

(chuckles) Yeah, I didn't think I had to.

Not so sure now.

Should I be worried?

(downbeat music)

Harry's crazy about you, Sandra.

Yeah, he was with Liz for so long,

that must mean something.

Sandra, she's not here to claim Dad back.

Thanks.

(door thudding)

(television clicking)
(stadium cheering)

(insects chirping)

Well, I met the punks in a suit.

Bryce hasn't changed then?

You had shocking taste in men, Liz.

Ah, not all the time. (Laughs)

And our sons have turned out rather well.

Yeah, they did.

Oh, talk to Alex for me, would you?

I want my boys back, both of them.

Well, I'll do what I can.

I never meant to hurt you, Harry.

I know that.

(downbeat music)

(owl hooting)

What are you doing out here, spying?

Of course I'm spying, what do you expect?

I expect you to cut me a bit of slack.

Sneaking around?

Why all the secrecy, Harry?

Why not just tell me straight out?

Look, I'm talking to my ex-wife,
is that okay?

Not in the middle of the night, no.

Liz just needs some help with Alex,
that's all,

end of story, I'm trying to avoid a scene.

Don't, don't you brush me off like that,
Harry!

Sandra, I will see who I wanna see.

Now I love you,

but don't act like you got
some kind of curfew on me.

(upbeat music)
(birds twittering)

(door creaking)

I thought you deserve something a bit more

than a quick bowl of cereal
in the kitchen this morning.

Oh wow.

Everything's ticking over downstairs.

Thank you, Meg.

You know,
my mum used to bring me breakfast in bed

when I was little on my birthday.

She'll be watching today.

(sentimental music)

Claire, too.

I'm sure of it.

Anyway, help me eat this toast,

otherwise I'll never fit into my dress.

Okay.
(Tess giggles)

Well, he's better than he was yesterday.

The poultice is doing the trick.

I reckon in about three hours,

he'll be a much cheerier horse.

Okay, can we use him this afternoon?

He's part of the wedding ceremony.

Fingers crossed.

As long as the happy couple aren't planning

to gallop off into the sunset on him.

That reminds me,
we have to get at the honeymoon car.

And we could fill it with balloons?

Or shaving cream!
Oh.

Just don't forget the
Vegemite on the door handles.

And prawns in the glove box.

Okay.

All sounds a teeny bit juvenile.

Oh yeah, well sure,
being juvenile keeps me young.

Ah, keep practicing then.

Yeah, I took a look into the kitchen,

there's some nice smells in there.

Is this a compliment?

Though I could point
out that most of the guests

at this wedding wouldn't know boccaccini

from a slice of plastic cheddar,
but, you know.

Half the guests at any wedding, babe,

but keep those punches coming.

Hm.

You're that Dave, aren't you?

The ex?

Today must be tough on you.

Perfectly relaxed about it.

Time I got cleaned up.

(doors thudding)

(cattle mooing)

You gonna tell Nick what she said?

Well,
I can't say stuff like that about his mum,

I just wanna forget about it and move on,
come on.

Well, there are many
secrets in the world already,

what's a couple more?

Well,
sometimes there's good reason for secrets.

You're not thinking
about accepting her offer?

No, not for a second.

Should've just dropped your
tea in her lap then and there.

Liz has this trick.

Every time we meet, she has this way

of making me feel like I'm
something she stepped in.

But you told her no?

Very clearly.

I think.

Wonder what her plan B will be.

Oh, great.

Hey look, it's my job to worry.

Your job, to have a wonderful time.

Yeah, come on. (Clicks tongue)

I think this is a best woman thing.

I just wanted to check to
make sure everything's all right,

you know.

But later?

You mean am I turning up to my own wedding?

Yeah, no sudden offers to travel the world

or run a farm in Siberia?

Where's this coming from?

Um, I don't know your mother well, but.

(ominous music)
Here he is,

my son on his wedding day.

I know what you said to Tess.

Well,
I hope she told you exactly what I offered.

No, Tess didn't say a word to me about it.

She's got enough to worry about.

Well, then let me explain.

I love Tess, Mum,

and there's absolutely nothing
you can do to change that.

I wouldn't want to...
I don't want you here.

Not at the wedding, not ever.

Nick.

Nick.

Nick, please!

Poddy was fine yesterday,
followed me around for a while.

Yeah, well, whatever it was killed it fast.

Yeah, ants are over it already.

Yeah, yeah, the ants are a worry.

So what's going on?

Something gonna run through the new lands?

I wish it was that simple.

Hey, this poddy,
has it had the run of the place?

Spit it out.

What are we dealing with?

These ants didn't find
the lamb after it died,

they killed it.

How does an ant take down a lamb?

Not one, thousands.

Pretty sure these are fire ants

and fire ants are big trouble.

But the wedding's in a few hours.

We can't shut Drover's down.

Tess, I'm sorry,
fire ants are quarantinable.

We've got no choice.

Please tell me you're joking.

Just relocating my
croutons would take all day.

Fire ants,
aren't they only a problem in Queensland?

Yeah, they must've come in with some feed.

Have you brought some
feed in lately from interstate?

I don't know, maybe?

Right-o, we'll have to search,
there'll be a nest,

anywhere that poddy lamb could've wandered.

So what do we do, postpone?

Please no, Meg.

We're talking about a few ants,

are you being anal retentive,

or is this to do with a
certain failed relationship.

Oh yeah,
nice time to bring that up, cookie.

And that didn't fail, by the way,
it was a great success

'til it stopped.

Okay look, hang on,
I know we have to quarantine,

but what if we hadn't
told you about the lamb?

What if...
Ow!

Ow, they're biting me!

Get, get them off me!

Stand still, stop swatting them!

They are swatting themselves!

You'll set them off!
Ow, my legs are burning, ow!

(dramatic music)

Meg, who put all these palms in?

Oh, Jodi got them at a bargain price.

Oh.
(pot clatters)

Nest of fire ants.

Not happy.

Oh boy, they could be everywhere.

We've got some work to do, kids.

(groans) Hurts like hell.

How am I gonna cook like this?

We'll find someone.

Is there a restaurant in Gungellan?

Yeah, there's a pub.

There's nothing to worry about.

I'm happy to take on the cooking.

I did the catering here for 20 years,

what's one more day?

Have you ever done crab
and avocado with a berry jus?

Seafood cocktails, very nice, no problem.

Don't worry, I draw the line at party pies.

This is fate.

I'm marrying a Ryan and I
have to go to Killarney to do it.

(chair clatters)

Yep, same time, that's right.

Just take the turn off
to Killarney instead,

you can't miss the panicking bridesmaids.

Bye.

Not panicking yet, we can do this.

But I've only called
about 20 of the guests.

It's okay,
Craig's making a sign for the front gate,

and he's photocopying little maps.

Terry's coming to get the tables

after he picks up Charlotte.

Harry's workers are going flat out,

and Sandra's pulled out
the Ryan family organza.

Oh great,
now I'm seeing my groom on our wedding day.

One disaster after another.

Look, shouldn't you be having
a bath or doing your hair?

How can I have a bath when
the happiest day of my life

is out of control?

Morning.
(door thuds)

Heard you had a pest problem.

Yeah, fire ants, thanks for coming over.

I wasn't talking about the ants.

Oh.
I spoke to Mum.

She won't be coming to the wedding.

But you weren't meant to know.

You don't have to put up with her.

Let's shift this gear,
let's go get married.

Yeah.

Keep it coming, over here, love.

(chattering)

Hey.

I've just been talking to
your mother on the phone.

There's not much else to do around here,
is there?

Look, I don't know exactly
what happened with you and Liz.

Well Dad,
maybe you should talk to Tess about it.

You know,
whatever you think of your mother,

just remember she's the one who raised you,
all right?

She did everything for you.

I mean, she's part of you
whether you like it or not.

She still loves you both.

So you can shut her out,
but you can never change that.

Why are you defending her?

You hate her, too.

No, I don't hate Liz.

I got over that ages ago.

(downbeat music)

(birds chirping)

Oh.

Oh boy, we are so late.

Mum is flat out with the food.

Maybe a ponytail would be the go.

No, we'll fly with the lights out,

bride's gotta have big hair.

Yeah.
Okay.

Oh!
Come on.

It's your wedding day.

Aw, this is gonna be so special.

Yeah, and you're never gonna forget it.

You know what, it shouldn't be like this.

I hate family feuds and
that's what I'm marrying into.

You are marrying a Ryan.

Yeah, but feuds mess with a family,

they're with you every day.

Especially Christmas Day.

Yeah,
but if Liz doesn't come to this wedding,

then she'll always feel left out.

Some mothers make bad
decisions and then they pay for it.

I'm sorry, there's something I forgot.

What no, Tess,

I have a million things
to do with your head.

Now and when you dress.

I'll be back soon.
What?

Tess wait!
Are you out of your mind?

(sighing)
Do my hair.

All right, spray, spray.
Spray.

(engine rumbles)

Glad you haven't left yet.

You were very restrained with me yesterday,
Tess.

Anything you want to say to me now,
I deserve it.

No, that's not why I'm here.

I want to apologize.

Look after Nick for me, would you?

You love him now, try to love him always.

Liz, you have to come to the wedding.

No, I don't think I can do that, Tess.

Well, whatever Nick said,
he wants you to be there.

Well, Nick was fairly specific.

This is partly my fault.

With my attitude towards
you over the years,

I helped set things up for this day.

This mess.

No, no it's my fault.

Liz...
If my own sons

can't forgive me.

Come to the wedding.
(gentle music)

Please, Liz.

Magic things can happen.

You're so kind.

But I know when I'm not welcome.

(lively orchestral music)

(chattering)

Any slower we'll stop.

It hurts, you know.

Now, cheer up, or you're out in the back

with the hired help.

Hired help, like the vet?

Oh, yeah, nice.

Here we go.
Oh god.

Don't mind if I do.
Excuse me.

How late is this?

Where is she?

Mate, the ants, catering,
hair bizzo, she's coming.

Well, I think she is.

Jodi tells me you've been reading diaries.

Ah, just some dusty old books.

Come on, Meg,
you never tell me anything you're doing.

You never talk about the truck stop.

You always say it's
just oil and hamburgers.

Well, it is.

Why didn't you tell me your mechanic

was seeing my daughter?

I was keeping my eye on them.

Yeah, you'll tell me when she gets pregnant

and moves to the Northern Territory,
won't you?

All jokes aside, Meg,

we do live a long way from each other

and we gotta more of an effort, eh?

All right, Terry.

We'll talk, all the details.

Done.

What do you like on 19th
century Australian poets?

What do you like on
automatic transmissions?

(laughing)

See you later.

What's going on here?

That's what I'd like to know.

I don't suppose we have
time to paint my toenails?

We'll be lucky if we get to lipstick.

Ow!

I need a miracle.

Five minutes, go.

How did it go with Liz?

Who says I was with Liz?

That's what you do, Tess,
you can't leave misery alone.

Liz isn't misery, she's just a mother.

(sighs) It's okay, you're back now.

We'll look after you from here on.

Hoo.

(birds twittering)

(lively orchestral music)

Start of the Ryan empire, mate.

How does it feel?

I'll be happier once the empress arrives.

She's coming.

You look amazing.

Amazing is good.

I think I can do amazing.

You ready?

Thank you, Stevie.

We made it, huh?

We made it.

It's time.

Here we go.

(wedding processional music)

(sobbing)

Please, be seated.

Welcome to the marriage of Nick and Tess.

Therefore, if anyone here

knows any reason why Nick and Tess

should not be lawfully joined in marriage

let them speak now, or forever be silent.

Tess and Nick, before you make your vows,

I am bound to remind you that
marriage is a full commitment

of a man to a woman and a woman to a man.

It is made to the exclusion of all others

and is entered into as a bond for life.

Nick.

Tess McLeod, I take you as my wife.

I pledge my life,

my body,

my heart and soul from this mument forward.

No drought, no famine,
no sickness will break this bond

until death,
we will be joined as one with the land.

Nick Ryan.

I take you as

my husband.

For you, there is no more rain,

for I am your shelter.

For you, there is no more pain,

for I am your comfort.

For you, there is no more cold,

for I am your warmth.

From this mument forward,

though we are two bodies,

we are one soul,

one heart.

This is my vow.

(giggling)

With this ring, Tess, I bind myself to you.

With this ring, Nick, I bind myself to you.

It's stuck. (Laughs)

There we are.

Friends, with great pleasure,

I pronounce Nick and Tess husband and wife.

(laughing)

I guess I'll call you wifey now.

(guests cheering)

(guests applauding)
(triumphant music)

(laughing)

Woo!
Woo!

(laughing)

(lively dance music)

He's by far the greatest player in the AFL.

Oh look, nobody with breasts

has said anything sensible
about football in 200 years.

Well, nobody with goolies

has said anything as
sexist as that in 200 years.

Stick around, the day's young.

Here's to Meg, watch your legs.

Congratulations, Tess.

Thank you, Harry, thank you.

Hey, congratulations.

Couldn't be happier for the both of you.

Hey.

Your mother's here.

You talk to her yet?

You know,
the best argument in Liz's defense is you.

'Cause all those years ago,

you were nothing but a problem.

And she could've made that
problem go away real easy,

but she didn't.

She wanted you, Alex, she had you.

And then the lies start.

Yeah, well, I've told a few lies myself.

I just hope Rose doesn't end up hating me

as much as you hate your mother.

What I did

came out of a few years
of misunderstanding,

a few sharp words,
a few months of, all right, jealousy.

What you and Tess
just did is for a lifetime.

That was very beautiful, my darling.

It's as if I've been in another world

and I suddenly saw you
and Tess as you really are.

I saw what you give each other.

I'm glad you were there.

Oh, so am I.

I'm sorry I butted in.

I make such a mess of things, don't I?

I better go.

There's one other thing.

Mum.
(gentle music)

You leaving?

I can't keep saying I'm sorry.

Not if you turn your back every time.

Alex.

Alex.
I love you, Mum.

Oh, darling, oh.

Oh, my son.

I missed you.

(laughs) Have you?

(sighing)

Okay, drinks, all around.
Yes.

The car, we have to do the honeymoon car,

you know, balloons, shaving cream.

Confetti in the air conditioner.

Yeah, where is it, it was on the list.

It's hidden up the road.

Nick and Tess, they do a bit exit,

then they get the car later.

It's our job to protect it, sorry.

Oh, unless you wanna bribe Craig

with sexual favors.

(laughs) Mate.

No time, but thanks.

Liz.

(downbeat music)

Now, I'm pretty sure bridesmaids' duties

do not include putting a
bridle on a grumpy horse

and wrestling it for a half an hour.

It wasn't on my list.

But anyways, anyone check the brew's leg?

That's Dave's job.

Where did he get to, anyway?

I don't know.

He and Kirsty have been
snapping at each other all day.

He's probably tied her up

and locked her in a cupboard by now.

Or worse.

(rock music)

What's up?

Or worse.

Oh!

I don't understand,
she had the wrong birds,

she had the wrong food,
she had the wrong ideas.

What'd she do so right, Jode?

Oh, come on, come on.

You've been getting about.

Well, you know,
father of the groom and all that.

I see the mother of the
groom made it after all.

Yeah, which is for the best.

Hm, and you've had time for another chat?

You and Liz are a real pair.

Just drop it, Sandra.

Okay everyone, ready?

Yeah!

Oh!

In you go.

Thanks, mate.
