from your blessing.

You have a good man

who's looking for you.

You okay, baby?

I am so sorry.

You were right.

And I promise you

this will never happen again.

I spoke to my mom.

And if you just, please,

just give me another chance,

-I promise...

-Jason, no. I can't.

We can't.

Your mother ruined our wedding.

You're not the man I thought you were.

-Baby.

-And you didn't protect me,

-you didn't defend me.

-Sabrina...

Everything has changed.

My life has changed!

Sabrina?

Breathe.

Just breathe, baby.

Jason,

it's too messy now.

I don't know who I am.

How can I marry you?

Sabrina, you remember when you told me

that details are what make the person?

Well, here are some details.

Sabrina, you're an optimist.

Whenever anyone's having a bad day,

all you have to do is smile

and you bring them right back up.

And you taught me the value

of protecting our love.

And I know it was hard for you,

but you kept your vow to God.

Baby, that's who I fell in love with.

That's who you are.

That's who I love.

And, yeah, I know it's a mess,

but you know what, baby?

It's our mess.

Ours.

You left out one important detail.

What, babe?

I love you.

I love you, too.

Okay.

Will you please never

take this off again?

Pinky swear.

I hope our honeymoon's better than this.

I promise you.

Dear Sabrina, I'm sorry.

I feel sick

about how I behaved this weekend.

I was afraid of being alone.

I want you to have this broom

because it means more to me

than almost anything else in the world,

and I pray you and Jason

have a long and happy life together.

Pam.

Lord, give me strength.

Sabrina?

She's on the run again!

-What now? Please.

-Sabrina!

-Sabrina!

-Wait, wait!

-Where is she going?

-Wait!

Mrs. Taylor!

Sabrina?

Don't go, don't go!

-My goodness!

-Got your note.

Jason and I need you to be here, okay?

-Honey.

-All right? Come on.

Don't be silly now.

-Look at you! You look beautiful.

-Yeah?

-I wanna be here, too.

-Good.

-Here, let me get your gown.

-Thank you.

Sir, bring my bags! Bring my bags!

Come on.

-Love you, sweetie.

-I love you, too.

Jason.

Please be seated.

Who giveth this woman

to be married to this man?

-We do.

-We do.

Sabrina,

you've given me the clarity,

the strength,

and the wisdom to be a better man.

Jason, you make me happier

than anyone ever has.

I don't wanna live life unless you're

in it. You're my man.

-I love you.

-I love you.

Sabrina, Jason,

by the powers invested in me,

I pronounce you husband and wife.

You may salute your bride.

Come on.

I taught him how to kiss,

you know what I'm saying.

Ladies and gentlemen...

Ladies and gentlemen, brothers

and sisters, may I present to you...

Wait, I'm sorry.

Amy, come here.

There.

Thank you.

Ladies and gentlemen,

brothers and sisters, I present to you

Mr, and Mrs. Jason Edgar Taylor.

So, are you on Facebook?

No.

-Twitter?

-Nope.

Can I at least text you?

Sebastian, you're such a great guy,

but we're just in two different places

in our lives, and...

Did Sebastian just...

Not your business, not your business.

You know, not a lot of men would've

raised someone else's daughter.

Not a lot of men

were lucky enough to marry you.

You still feel lucky?

You know I feel lucky.

This feels like the last hurrah.

So, we'll go to China on miles.

I am gonna miss the Four Seasons.

Well, I do have a rainy-day fund

for special occasions.

You kept it hidden from me?

Not all secrets are bad.

You

are smart.

And beautiful.

So, how much?

Wouldn't you like to know?

Yeah, I would. Maybe I'll invest it.

Excuse me! Hear ye, hear ye!

I'd like everybody's attention.

Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Ladies and gentlemen,

I'd like to say one thing.

I'd like to send a congratulations out

to the bride and groom,

the beautiful Miss Sabrina.

And, Jason, I'm proud of you, nephew.

-And I know your father would be, too,

man. -Thanks, Willie Earl.

You deserve this happiness.

This time right here is a beautiful time

for alls of us to come together

and be a family in one.

That's right, and you know

what a family does when we get together.

We party.

Now, I know, Sabrina, you didn't want me

to do the Electric SIide.

But I can do the Cupid Shuffle. Y'all

wanna help me do the Cupid Shuffle?

Come on, Sabrina, please,

can we do the Cupid Shuffle?

Come on, I know

how to do the Cupid Shuffle.

Come on, let's do it!

Come on! Hannah Montana! Akon!

All you ladies with them tight shoes on,

come on up out of them shoes.

We seen 'em already.

Come on, baby girl!

Get you a white girl!

-Get you a black man!

-Come on and dance with me.

One, two, three, four!

What is this dance?

It's the Cupid Shuffle.

What's that?

It's like the Hokey Pokey

for black people.

I get that.

-Do you wanna do it?

-Do it?

-The dance?

-The... Yeah.

-With me?

-Sure.

Amy.

Malcolm.

Thanks.

Swerve it like you mean it!

Chef in the house! Hey!
