I'll get that.

Oh, it's Marion.

Uh, places, people.

We're on in two.

Marion, could I just run

down the hallway for a second?

Emma, you are the most beautiful bride

I have ever seen. Ready.

- Bride one, walking. Bride one, walking.

- Oh.

#I was a little girl #

#Alone in my little world #

- # Who dreamed of a little home for me #

- It's time.

#I played pretend

between the trees #

#And fed my houseguests

bark and leaves #

#And laughed in

my pretty bed of green #

#I had a dream #

# That I could fly #

#From the highest swing #

#I had a dream #

#Ooh ##

[ Man ]

Ma'am:

- Oh, my God.

- Okay. Okay.

- I'm getting married.

- Yeah. Are you happy?

Uh-

[ Walkie Beeps ] When I get

visual confirmation on bride one walking:::

give video a five count and roll.

- ##[ Harpist Rlays ""Bridal Chorus'']

- And ready:

Walk:

[ Emma's Voice]

I'm in Acapulco, babyI Spring breakI

I'm here with Miguel.

[ Gasps ]

I love spring breakI

I want to danceI

[ Women ]

Go, EmmaI Go, EmmaI

[ Women Cheering ]

- I love being EmmaI

- I-

[ Screams ]

We've been hit.

Repeat, we've been hit.

- [ Liv ] EmmaI

- [ Screaming ]

[ Liv ]

Let me tell you something about that tapeI

God, you swore! You swore

you'd never show that to anyone.

Just... let them go.

Emma!

Bring it on!

[ Liv ]

EmmaI I don't want to fightI

- Let me just tell you something!

- I don't want to fight!

It's over. I can't do this anymore.

I can't do this anymore:

[ Sighs ]

Thank God.

I'm fine.

[ Reople Murmuring ]

[ Whispering ] Emma, what the hell

are you doing? Have you lost your mind?

You just ruined our wedding.

You happy now?

Your friend? History. 'Cause she's a bad

influence on you, and she always has been.

Judging by that DVD, you're

a lot more like her than I thought.

- Good. I hope so.

- What?

Fletcher, you've been

my friend for 1 0 years.

I need you to be my friend now

and tell me the truth.

You're in love with a girl

that you met 1 0 years ago.

Hey, what's the matter with that? Huh?

She's not here anymore.

I don't want to spend

the rest of my life fighting, Fletch.

Or caving.

Neither do you.

We're different.

We want different things.

You know that's true, don't you?

I knew.

Good-bye.

Oh, my God. Emma.

I'm fine.

This is all my fault.

That video was never supposed to happen.

I mean, it was supposed to

happen, but I canceled it: I thought I did:

'Cause I could never do that to you.

Emma, you're my best friend.

Oh, this fighting is so dumb:

I'm so sorry about everything.

I'm sorry... too.

I'm so sorry.

If I ruined it for you,

I don't want it anymore.

If Fletcher and I were perfect

for each other, then...

we'd be getting married, and we're not.

Are you crying?

Yeah. It's like a whole new me.

And I just- I cry all the time.

- I'm kind of a basket case.

- No, Liv, I didn't want that. I'm sorry.

No. No, you were right.

I don't have to have it

constantly together all the time.

It's like... this huge wake-up call.

And I'm kind of stumbling around

a little bit, but...

I'm awake.

Will you stand up there with me?

Where else would I be?

Reset, people. Reset.

Oh, I almost forgot something.

Oh, my God. Em?

Where did you find that?

Two little girls saved it for us.

Come on.

[ Laughing, Cheering ]

Hi.

- Hey. Are you single?

- Uh, yeah.

- Are you straight?

- I don't like labels.

So sorry to hear about your divorce.

Why? It was only my first.

And next time, I'm definitely

getting married at the Plaza.

# You treated me so kind

I'm about to lose my mind #

- # You made me so #

- # Very happy #

- Do you wanna dance?

- Yes.

- Let's go.

- Okay.

Um-

No, baby. Baby,

let it happen on its own.

Uh-oh. Did I make a horrible mistake and

marry someone who's smarter than I am?

[ Marion Narrating ]

It was quite a wedding:

And as I stood there watching:::

I realized something

I'd forgotten a long time ago:

#You made me so very happy ##

Sometimes in life there really are

bonds formed that can never be broken:

Sometimes,you really can

find that one person:::

who will stand by you

no matter what:

Maybe you'll find it in a spouse

and celebrate it with your dream wedding:

But there's also the chance:::

that the one person

you can count on for a lifetime-

the one person who knows you:::

sometimes better

than you know yourself-

is the same person who's been

standing beside you all along:

- Wow! You look great.

- Hello. Oh, my God. You look great.

Well, how was it?

How was the vacation?

- It was amazing.

- I want to know everything about it.

Actually, I don't.

You married my brother. That's weird.

So I don't want

to know anything, ever.

Should we toast? To marriage?

Um, actually, I'm not drinking.

Neither am I.

[ Together]

Are you pregnant?

- When are-

- Me too. March third.

[ Together]

When're you due? March third.

- [ Shrieking ]
