Marrying Mr. Darcy Page #2

---

Besides, I told Linus to send

her up when she arrives.

Oh!

How did you get up here?

Hi, Jax.

Get up here, big guy.

Jax is very smart.

Well, not very trainable.

No wonder he's the last of

Figgy's puppies to go.

Aw, you wanna keep him,

you know it.

In one month from now

Jax will be a show dog.

There you are, Jax.

[speaking French]

Aw, come here, baby.

There you go.

I knew Jax was smart

but I didn't know

he spoke French.

I've been studying.

My school's organizing a summer

program in Montreal

for French immersion.

I'll end up trs fluide.

Can I go?

I'll think about it.

That means no.

No, that means

I'll think about it.

Merci, mon frre.

That means "thank you,

my brother".

I know.

[speaking French]

That means

"don't push your luck".

Well, while we wait.

[plays music]

Ah. Shall we?

Yes.

Aunt Violet!

I'm so happy to see you.

Hello, darling.

Is she up there?

Her name is Elizabeth.

And yes, she is.

You'll like her.

I would have preferred Princess

Lucia of Belgium better.

Or at least that beautiful

little debutant with whom

you went to the

Governor's Ball, hmm?

Well, I'm glad he chose

Elizabeth.

And you'll be glad, too.

Here comes the sun,

You chase the thunder

Here comes the sun,

You're such a wonder

You are my true love

My whole life through love

There go the raindrops,

Here comes the sun.

Hello.

Oh, hi.

Donovan, I've not seen

you this happy in years.

And you,

thank you so much for accepting

my apology.

Of course.

I brought you a gift.

Oh, you don't have to do that.

I wanted to.

Open it.

It was Donovan's grandmother's.

And now, as Donovan's bride,

it's yours.

I love it.

It's a small token to mark

your engagement

and to thank you for accepting

me back into your life.

It's a new beginning.

And a wedding is

a new beginning, too, isn't it?

Yes.

I want to help

with the planning.

Aunt Violet coordinates

most of our foundation events.

She knows everyone in New York.

Oh, thank you.

We just want a small,

simple wedding.

Right?

I agree.

My mom has a notebook

full of ideas

but we could use all

the help we can get.

Anything you want.

It would be my pleasure.

(Elizabeth):
Mom, what's wrong?

Planning your wedding,

I couldn't be happier.

Mom, there's a lot of time

between now and November.

Crying is fine but you have

to pace yourself.

Point taken.

Well, to get us started

then...

[gasps]

Mom!

A wedding planner?

Thank you.

It's to help us organize

all the decisions

you're gonna be making

for your wedding.

In fact, what kind of wedding

are you picturing?

I always dreamed of something

small and simple,

in a garden with family

and friends.

Mmm, then that's what

we'll work towards.

Ok.

Would you like to try on

a dress or two?

We've got plenty of time

for that,

and I want Zara to be here,

she's really excited

about the wedding.

Ok, well, whenever

you're ready.

Ok.

Because your perfect dress

is somewhere right here.

[together] Mom.

It was nice of you to wait

until Zara could be here

to try on dresses.

I wanted her to be

a part of it and-

I'm so sorry to barge

in unannounced

but I have wonderful news.

You will not believe it.

I had to pull a lot of strings

but I managed to book you

the Manhattan Grace Church

for your wedding.

They're usually reserved

a year in advance.

Well, what do you think?

I think it's amazing.

Grace Church is gorgeous.

Four generations of Darcys

have been married there,

including Donovan's parents

and grandparents.

So?

I'm in.

Let's be the fifth generation

of Darcys

to get married at Grace Church.

Wonderful, I'm so pleased.

So which Saturday in November

did you get?

We would prefer early in

the month but we're flexible.

No, I told you it was wonderful

news, I lied.

It's actually a miracle.

I got you the church for

the third Saturday in June.

June?

As in a year from now?

Uh, we don't wanna wait

that long.

You don't have to.

The church is yours this June.

Two months from now.

Oh.

Um...

I say we go for it.

Wedding planning

in two months, I...

You wanted it simple, right?

Yeah.

I will give you and your mother

all the help you need.

That's two months.

Grace Church.

What about a garden wedding?

It's not the garden wedding

I first thought

but Grace Church is beautiful

and it's a Darcy tradition.

Hmm.

Do you realize how large it is?

I have done some research

and they have small weddings

there all the time.

Hmm.

Mom and Jenna are gonna come

this weekend

to check out Grace Church

and I would love for you

to come, too.

I would like that.

Thank you.

Yeah.

I love this place.

You know, in China red lanterns

represent happiness.

Do you think they're glowing

for us?

Without a doubt.

So how are things going

with the recreation center?

Good.

Good.

I'm really excited about it,

actually.

I spend most of my day

on the business

end of Darcy Enterprises but my

heart is with the foundation.

What good is all that money

if it's not doing good

for others, right?

Why don't you work for

the foundation full-time?

It's what you're

passionate about.

I wish I could.

I don't think it would

be possible, though.

Why not?

Well, there's always been

a Darcy

at the head of

Darcy Enterprises.

Kind of a tradition.

Well, there's a tradition

of great men

running charities, too.

Fair enough.

For the happy couple.

Compliments of the house.

Thank you, Evan.

That is very thoughtful.

So how's Oliver doing?

Does he like the daycare

I told you about?

He loves it.

Good.

Thank you.

Thank you.

You are incredible.

I have been coming here

for years

and I never knew he had

a son.

[laughs]

Oliver isn't his son,

Oliver is his dog.

[laughing]

I told him about

a doggy daycare.

He's really cute, too.

Wow.

I always loved these windows.

It's magnificent.

Someone once said, in 1860,

to be married or buried

within these walls

was ever considered

the height of felicity.

I vote for married.

What do you think, mom?

Can we make this work

for an intimate wedding?

Well, I think that with flowers

and candles

to define a smaller space,

it'll look magical.

Have you thought about

a theme for the wedding?

Yes, because the church

is very formal

so it's all in the details.

What about city garden?

We can get all kinds of

different types of flowers

in all sorts of colors.

Like they're blooming

right here in Manhattan.

I love it.

Great.

Perfect.

And they say wedding planning

is hard.

Hmm.

Gorgeous.

Just stunning.

I like the garden wedding

theme, too.

So what's next to be decided?

The guest list.

Tea and coffee for the most

wonderful couple in New York.

Awe.

Thank you.

Thank you.

I'm meeting with

Aunt Violet tomorrow

and we're talk about it.

Do you remember the first

time that we ate macarons?

Of course I remember.

We had them for the first time

when I took you

to see the painting

of Queen Victoria and her dog

and you thought
