- See, we've been dating for five days-

- Six.

Five, six days,

and this is like a checkup for us.

There's this huge space between us...

and it keeps getting

bigger and bigger.

How honest are you with him?

Pretty honest.

I mean, it's not like

I lie to him or anything.

I just, uh-

I mean, I-I have little secrets.

Everyone has secrets.

I have hepatitis "C."

How does that make you feel?

I'm not sure, really.

Let me clarify.

I love Julia.

I... want her to be happy.

I want good things for her.

But there are times-

You know, when she's sleeping,

just take a pillow and-

Thanks for helping me pick out my dress.

To be honest,

I was surprised you called.

Well, you're a part of Grant's life...

and that means

you're a part of my life too.

You look like a princess.

You don't think it's a bit too much?

Oh, not at all.

I'll go get some pins to fit it.

Uh-oh.

Why do you insist

on dressing me in these fruity outfits?

- I'm gonna take this lollipop

and shove it up your ass.

I can hear everyone's thoughts.

I love Puerto Rican men. They're spicy.

It's like I'm trapped

in a bad Mel Gibson movie.

What the hell was I thinkin'?

He's a freakin' backup dancer.

Dude, I married Britney Spears!

I'm rich! I'm rich, beotch!

- Rich!

- Is the bride-to-be ready?

Bride-to-be? Sh*t. Not if I can help it.

I've got 24 hours

to break up this wedding.

- No.

- Yes!

I'll turn Grant against you

and make him love me again.

Me, me, me!

- Stay away from me!

- Oh!

- What is it now?

- Grant's got an ex-fiance.

And she has a thing for him.

I just know it.

And they have this long,

romantic history.

How can I measure up to that?

You can't.

She's fine as hell.

I would tear that sh*t up!

You know, everything was going so well

until she turns up.

Look, he's not with Andy anymore.

He's with you.

You gotta put aside your insecurities.

It'll all work out.

- Do you really believe that?

- No, but my white customers do.

Wow.

- Look, I believe in you and Grant.

And before you know it,

you'll be walking down the aisle.

Oh, and saying our vows.

And our first dance!

You call that dancin'?

No.

You see this? This is where you live.

Right here.

This is your home. Huh?

Well, how about this?

That b*tch be krumpin'!

It's okay. It's okay.

She's never gonna break us up.

Grant and I just have to get through

the rehearsal dinner...

and then tomorrow's the big day.

Once we're married,

everything will be perfect.

Who are you kidding?

Grant's never gonna marry you.

You're not good enough.

He's meant to be with Andy.

- Don't say that!

- This is who you really are.

- You're a frump, girl.

You may look different,

but inside you'll always be me.

- No, please, stop.

- You'll be stuck in that diner till the end of time.

I don't believe you.

True love is a myth.

You better hurry up and marry Nicky...

before you end up

a fat, dusty old maid.

- Never!

- You'll see.

Quiet, everyone. Quiet.

Roz has a few words to say.

Oh, thank you, hon.

Mmm!

I would like to make a toast.

To Grant and Julia!

Yeah! What?

Okay!

Get crunk!

Get crunked!

You like it?

You look... ravishing.

What? What's wrong?

Grant, your whole courtship

has been rocky, to say the least.

I just hope you're not rushing

into this marriage with Julia...

as a way of getting over me.

I-

Oh, dear God.

A carousel.

I, uh- I'd better get back.

Grant, this is our rehearsal dinner.

We're getting married tomorrow.

I need to know-

do you still have feelings for Andy?

Of course not.

I trust you.

I just don't want to get hurt.

You have nothing to worry about.

I'm devoted to you...

forever.

No.

Not a zit on my wedding day!

Ohh.

Where the hell is Julia?

Grant, I wouldn't be your best man

unless I told you this.

Julia doesn't deserve you.

Oh, come on! She's an hour late

for her own wedding.

Maybe she's got cold feet 'cause she knows

it's not right between the two of you.

Do you ever think about us?

Yeah.

Me too.

My grandmother's ring.

She gave you this ring

on her deathbed...

and made you promise to give it to the woman

you wanted to spend the rest of your life with.

You gave it to me.

My grandfather's toe ring.

Didn't he give you this ring

on his deathbed...

and make you promise to give it

to the woman you'd cherish forever?

You gave that to me too.

- Julia-

- Oh! She's just the rebound girl.

I'm ready to take you back.

Choose me. Marry me.

Andy, I just don't feel

the same way about you anymore.

Julia's the one.

Then one last kiss.

Julia, no!

Shut up! It's 4:
00 in the morning!

A**hole!

Turn that crap off!

I'm trying to watch

Desperate Housewives!

It's called an iPod!

Get one!

Oh. Jinxers?

Julia.

Let's get you out of that funk.

Julia, will you marry me?

Please?

It was good, right?

I know Nicky's a little

rough around the edges...

but give him a chance.

When your mother and I first got married,

we barely knew each other.

I was a mail-order bride,

could barely speak the English language.

Dad, you're from Jersey.

I'm tryin' to make a point here.

At first,

Linda and I couldn't get along.

But we grew to understand

and even respect each other.

I'm proud to say

we've been married for 30 years...

and I have you and your sister

to show for it.

Now, maybe that's not

the fairy tale you dream of...

but that's real life.

So, what do you say?

I've been fooling myself all along.

There is no Prince Charming.

And true love is something

that only exists in the movies.

Okay, Dad,

I'll marry Nicky.

Back to work.

You're crying.

Tears of joy, Dad.

Thanks, Frank.

I'll take it from here.

We are gathered here to join

this man and this woman...

in holy matrimony.

Marriage is a contract

that should not be taken lightly.

It must be honored by two people

who are truly in love.

If anyone has any reason

why these two should not be married...

speak now or forever hold your peace.

- I object!

- Thank God!

This isn't what you wanted.

It's what I wanted.

I was wrong about Grant.

He's a good man.

He even liked you

when you were butt-ugly.

- How do you-

- I saw it in your flashback.

You and Grant

were meant to be together.

I don't know.

You need to read this.

My darling Julia. I'm sorry.

So sorry.

So very, very sorry.

And yet, sorry seems to be

the hardest word to say.

If you can ever forgive me

and you're ready to make that leap...

I promise I'll be there to catch you.

If you still love me

the way I love you...

then meet me

where Meg Ryan met Tom Hanks.

On the Internet?

No, not in You've Got Mail,

in Sleepless in Seattle.

Right. The observation deck

of the Empire State Building.

But how do I get there?

Um, I'll Mapquest directions

and I.M. -it to your Blackberry.

But I only have a T-Mobile Sidekick.

You can borrow my Treo 650.

How about we just meet

where we had our first date?

A Restaurant? But that's way uptown.

Traffic's a nightmare.

The rooftop of your apartment building?
