Marrying Mr. Darcy Page #4

---

I- I don't know what my area

of interests are

but I do know that

I am planning to go back

to teaching once we're married.

Um... but I'd love to work

on educational projects.

But uh, I'll keep you posted.

To finish this off I'd like

to say that I-

I can't wait to get

to know you all.

Well, I knew you'd do well

but you did great.

Really?

I was totally faking it

in there.

I thought you did amazing.

Donovan, you have to realize

that this is all new to me.

You can't just throw me in the

water and expect me to swim.

I'm sorry.

Next time I'll try and keep you

on dry land.

Good.

You know, the foundation

is so wonderful.

I could see in the meeting

how much you love it here.

I give my days and my time

to the company

but my heart belongs

to the foundation.

I know you said there's always

been a Darcy

at the head of Darcy Enterprises

but that can change.

It won't be easy, but...

Life is short.

You should follow your heart.

Donovan.

I'm glad I caught you.

I need one more signature

for the Albany deal.

At least for now my heart

will have to take second place.

This should just take a moment.

Of course.

I'll just wait for you here.

Elizabeth?

May I give you a word

of advice?

Of course.

I don't know that you understand

how important our

board members are.

They are some of the most

powerful people in New York

and you called

them ninth graders.

I was a little taken aback, and

I'm certain Randolph Pack was.

I'm sorry, that's not at all

what I was trying to do.

Yeah, I'm sure

that you didn't know

that you were offending them.

And while we're speaking,

I was surprised to hear

that you've decided

to return to teaching.

Yes, I am.

You're not going to have time

for that.

Not with your new

social obligations

and your board duties.

You certainly don't need a job.

Oh, well, teaching isn't a job,

it's who I am.

It's who you were.

Now you will be

Mrs. Donovan Darcy.

That's a very important

full-time position.

Elizabeth?

Is something the matter?

Donovan, you know I'm gonna go

back to teaching

after we're married, right?

Of course. Why?

I just talked to Violet.

She said I wouldn't have time

to go back to teaching

after we're married.

I fell in love with a teacher

and a teacher is who

I'm gonna marry.

I'll talk to her, ok?

Ok.

There is no need for Elizabeth

to have a job.

Elizabeth wants to teach

after we're married

and so she will teach.

I have learned that sometimes

you can't always have it all.

I know how much you had

to give up for us

when mother and father died.

You were living in London,

right?

Paris.

But I was happy to come back

and take care of you and Zara.

All I wanted was to keep

you two safe.

You have no idea.

The responsibility sometimes

terrified me.

But you two are the lights

of my life.

It's not up to me whether

Elizabeth continues to teach.

If that's the way

you both want it

then I suppose that's

the way it's going to be.

I appreciate that.

Oh, aren't you just so handsome?

They are gonna love you.

Now, remember,

you are a show dog.

The entire world will be

watching your every move.

They will be judging you

at all times.

But you can do this.

I can do this.

[giggling]

Mom!

What are you doing here?

Surprise!

You didn't think I was gonna

miss your appointment

with Mariana Merel?

And... I'm here, too!

What?

And guess what?

I am not leaving

until we get you married.

And I'm gonna be here

for as long as you want me.

And I am just their chauffeur

so don't mind me.

Aw, you're not

just the chauffeur.

No?

You're also my handsome

boyfriend.

I got her wrapped

around my finger.

Oh yeah.

Mmmhmm.

Uh, and now,

handsome boyfriend...

Hmm?

Would you please go to the car

and get the bags?

[laughs]

Thank you.

I'm so happy you're here.

Awe.

Hey, bud.

He's being a very good boy.

Awe.

I've gone through the

questionnaire you filled out,

and since there's only five

weeks until your wedding

I've already drawn up

two preliminary sketches.

You said you like simple lines.

This first dress is sleek,

elegant, classic.

That is beautiful.

That's exactly what I want.

So beautiful.

It's lovely.

Very nice.

The second sketch goes in a

slightly different direction.

Your wedding will be

the wedding of the season.

This first dress is beautiful

but subtle.

This dress will make

you look truly magnificent.

[gasps]

I have to be honest.

It's simply stunning.

[laughs]

Oh, Elizabeth, you are going to

be the most magnificent bride

in New York City.

It's amazing, but Lizzy,

is it you?

It's your choice.

Oh, I'm sorry.

I'm not going to be

any help at all.

I love them both.

Thanks a lot, mom.

Uh, well, if I was getting

married in a garden

it would have been this one.

But I'm getting married

in Grace Church.

So Mariana,

this is the dress.

Ah, excellent choice.

How did the meeting

with Mariana Merel go?

Aunt Violet thinks I'll be

the most magnificent bride

in New York.

And I'm sure she's right.

Donovan, what if I can't be

magnificent?

What do you mean?

When we're together it

feels like everything is fine.

But when we're apart there

are all these expectations.

Do you ever feel like

you and I are just...

so different?

Well, we are different.

That's- that's what

I love about you.

Are you worried?

I guess I- I am.

I think.

It's just all the wedding

planning

is starting to feel a little bit

overwhelming

and the word "magnificent" is a

little bit hard to live up to.

Well, I'm sure that you will be

the most magnificent bride

in New York.

Is there anything I can do?

Well, there is a cake tasting.

I will be there.

I promise.

We haven't even talked

about our honeymoon.

Where do you wanna go?

Mmm, somewhere warm.

I just wanna spend some time

with you.

You shall.

Good job.

See?

He is doing much better.

More focused, less distracted.

Sit.

[doorbell rings]

[barking]

Nope, not distracted at all.

Good morning, Violet.

Please come in.

Hello, Linus.

Oh, you're both here.

Wonderful.

Oh, Zara, darling.

I have something very serious

to discuss with you.

Now, I realize that the wedding

is in four and a half weeks

and the invitations are going

out in a couple of days

and I've been struggling.

With the addition of Elizabeth's

family and friends

I can't get this guest

list below 200.

But we agreed on 150.

Come on, Jax.

Let's go for a long,

long walk.

Elizabeth's right,

we agreed on 150

and that's what it needs to be.

I honestly don't see how we

can cut this down any more.

There would have to be some

people we could cut.

[exhales]

Elizabeth...

Elizabeth, I'm sorry.

These- these are

all important people.

I don't think I can cut

any of them.

I guess there's nothing wrong

with having too many friends.

Looks like we'll have to go

with 200 guests.

But with 200 we're gonna

need a big reception space.

It's a Darcy tradition

to use the ballroom at
