Breakup at a Wedding
Here we come.
Here she is.
Prettiest bride in the world.
Uh-huh.
Isn't she pretty?
I just... I can't.
I'm sorry. Guys, I need
to go back upstairs.
If you truly love someone,
elope.
Trust me, I've been shooting
these sh*t shows for over 10 years.
Weddings are supposed to be
about true love and commitment.
But come on.
That's garbage.
In my experience, everyone's more
concerned about how they look,
or the roast beef
at the carving station,
than true love.
But I'm an artist.
This is what I do.
Nana hates you?
I catch the one time she smiles.
at the wedding?
I drop some Sarah McLachlan
on that sh*t, make it a moment.
I'm at your rehearsal dinner.
I'm grabbing your home movies.
I'm buying footage
off of guests.
I'll give you five bucks for it.
Weddings make people go insane,
but I always edit out the crazy.
That is, until...
I met these two.
Your job is to get everything.
That's it.
You got no other job.
This is the hotel here.
I want you to do a master,
kind of like a pan master wide,
and then I want you to just
tilt down on the thing, okay?
Oh, shut the f*** up.
Up until that day,
I had operated...
with a strict code of ethics...
a big part of my success.
There are rules
to this game.
You don't eat with them.
You don't drink with them.
- You don't flirt with them.
- You don't... them.
A.B.R., baby...
Always be rolling.
My assistants
are highly skilled technicians.
This one really upped his game
since graduating high school.
Now what you're about to see is a
different kind of wedding video...
raw, unfettered.
It is quite simply
my masterwork.
You want the other wedding,
man. It's right that way.
- Inhale.
- Breathe.
I can't get up.
But before we go there,
let me introduce you
to the bride and groom.
Right over there.
You see, that's my guy.
That guy's filming us?
That guy's filming us, yeah.
Alison and Phil
seemed normal at first.
Alison was your classic
people-pleaser.
We want it to be
just a really great party.
Just a celebration
of families uniting.
These types of brides
are always a pleasure...
on my methodology...
to your life.
Hey. Oh, was that tonight?
Have you always wanted
to get married?
When I was a little girl,
I would, like,
take my mom's curtains...
and make them into a veil
and walk around.
Your mom and dad must be super
happy you're getting married.
Uh, yeah.
I don't know if I mentioned
this to you before,
but my mom and dad
actually got divorced,
so, um, they're super happy,
but separately they're happy...
happier separately
than they are together. Um...
I guess that's when the wedding
game kind of stopped being fun.
What changed?
Um, Philip.
Uh, I'm in real estate,
and I was showing this house...
with these perfect
little blue shutters...
and a big tree
in the front yard.
And one day Phil stopped
in front of this house...
and he looked at me
and he said,
"We could be a family. "
And...
Sweetheart, isn't she?
You'd never guess that
was a one-way ticket to Crazyville
with a quick stop in Fakersfield.
You all right?
Yeah.
Can I get up now? I really...
I'm better. You good?
It usually helps
my grandma's anxiety attacks.
Oh, that wasn't an
anxiety attack. I'm better.
Oh, you are. You're great.
Yeah, I'm fine. I'm sorry.
I just want to make sure
you're doing okay.
Oh, honey, I... he just told
me that the carving station's...
gonna have a regular light
instead of a red light.
All right?
No.
I know it was a concern...
Dad loves red-lit meat.
He specifically mentioned it
in an e-mail. Okay, okay, okay.
I'll handle it. I'll
handle it. I'll handle it.
The rehearsal dinner...
don't worry about it.
It doesn't matter.
The rehearsal dinner was fine.
Grab the kids!
Give him a tour around
the room, all right?
Okay. All right, dear? See you later.
Bye.
Testing one, two.
Mike check.
Somebody's getting married.
Okay, great.
That sounds great.
I was definitely chicken-faced
at my sister's wedding.
Yeah, you were.
Oh, check it out.
I got something for the boys.
Uh-oh. Oh, shoot.
I'm terrified.
Yes, let's see.
Okay, uh...
Hola, Pio Pio Rico.
Wow.
That's you.
Shoot, I actually
like that, Bena.
Well done, well done.
Grande chupacabra.
Yeah.
Over there.
I'm gonna pick up
the groom interview.
Most groomholes I work with
are either nervous,
drunk or control freaks.
Phil was distracted.
He's so attached to that thing.
It's like it's
an extension of his body.
That's, uh... That's
Teddy, right? What? Yeah.
Hey, Al.
I just missed your call.
Ooh, videographers are here.
What is it that you love
most about Alison?
Whoa. Oh, wow.
Uh, what is it the most
that I love about Alison?
Well, Alison is a powerhouse
in everything she does.
She loves her job.
She's pretty much the most
generous person I've ever met.
Over here.
He loves chocolate.
She's got great posture,
which is really awesome
considering how chest-heavy she is.
Which is also
equally awesome.
pink and chocolate,
so we picked pink
and chocolate,
which I like a lot now too.
She wanted us to pay for the whole
wedding, which is really cool and mature.
And she just didn't want her
dad to, like, give us anything.
Basically we just
wanted to throw,
like, a really fun party
for all our friends and family.
Little bit fancy.
You know, try to do it right,
no matter what the cost, really.
Love don't cost a thing, man.
It's hot as hell in here.
Can I talk to you
for a second outside?
Yes, of course, man.
All right.
Camera's off, right?
Perfect, perfect.
So, Alison and I are
getting married as scheduled.
We are doing this thing.
I have a plan.
It's kind of a surprise.
And it is definitely gonna
knock Alison's socks off.
That said,
I just, uh, you know...
I can't pay you tonight.
Normally, I would
turn my cameras off and go home.
But not this time.
I knew too much.
I am heading to
a very dark, dark place.
What's up, baby?
So the chef can't do
the crme brIe anymore.
Oh, no. There's like a
problem with the burners.
Here's the deal. Phil had been
planning to surprise Alison...
...some female issues. Oh,
I've got a Midol in my purse.
Only problem was, Phil didn't
count on the wedding costs...
getting so out of control
at the same time...
were rolling in.
Let's raise a glass in celebration
of Philip and Alison's love.
Do you wanna borrow
some cash? Yes, please.
From a very wealthy man with
more money than you. No offense.
Phil was so in over his head financially
that he had even hatched a plan.
He thought if he made his boss...
this guy... his best man,
he might be able to get an advance
out of him in time to save the house.
