Marrying Mr. Darcy Page #5

---

the Greenmore Hotel.

I reserved it several weeks ago

just in case.

You reserved it

without consulting with us?

It's just an option, honey.

Did you have another venue

in mind?

Well, no.

Then everything will work out

splendidly.

I know the wedding is expanding

and obviously with such

a short schedule

certain things might be

overlooked

so I've given it

a little thought and,

uh, these are some of the things

that remain to be done

and I would help coordinate

with you and your mother.

Please, allow me to help

give you a wedding

you'll never forget.

Well, what do you think?

Sorry I'm late.

What, do you think you're

the boss or something?

Something like that.

I have decided to take

a month off.

What do I need to do

to accomplish that?

Oh, not much.

Maybe clone a twin.

Mmm.

What's up?

The wedding.

The wedding's what's up.

There's gonna be a couple

hundred people everywhere,

Elizabeth wants a small wedding

so I want the honeymoon

to be about Elizabeth and I.

I want to give her the trip

of a lifetime.

I want to take her to see

all these historical places.

I know she's always

wanted to see,

and not for a week,

for a month.

Well, sounds fantastic.

I'm sure she'll love the idea.

See what she says.

And I want to surprise her.

Surprise her?

When exactly are you planning

on telling her?

The reception.

Really?

Well, it'll be a surprise.

I mean, you do know

what a surprise is, right?

Yes, because

I hate them.

Ah, well Elizabeth

does not hate them.

You should have seen her face

when I surprised her

with the ring.

This is gonna be like that

but times ten.

I just have to work more,

a lot more,

before the wedding.

Hmm.

Thank you, Mrs. Darcy, for

inviting me to your home today.

The cake you made for the

Vanlier wedding was sublime.

I usually do a group tasting

at my bakery

but Mrs. Darcy explained

with your tight schedule

it would be more convenient if

I brought the tasting to you,

so voila.

[clapping]

[phone ringing]

Excuse me.

Hey, Donovan,

are you almost here?

[traffic sounds]

I'm sorry, darling.

I thought I left the office

with plenty of time

but the car hasn't even moved

in 20 minutes.

I'm not gonna make it.

Is it alright if I give you

my proxy for the cake?

Well, we can wait for you.

I'm not even close.

Really.

You should do the cake tasting

without me.

I'm really sorry.

Um, ok.

I love you.

I'm sorry.

Donovan won't be joining us

after all.

Not a problem.

Let's begin.

Warm up your taste buds, ladies.

On your left there's

our award-winning

almond truffle

raspberry fusion cake.

There are so many words

to like in that sentence.

Wow.

Mmmhmm.

Mmm.

Next we have dark chocolate

with real gold leaf.

Well, chocolate isn't

traditional

and the gold leaf

is a bit gauche.

Understood.

Next we have vanilla buttercream

with a white ganache drizzle.

Double wow.

No, double double wow.

[laughing]

Mmm.

Mmm.

Lizzy?

Wow.

Mmmhmm.

Donovan, what're you doing here?

This is our spot.

That's why I proposed here.

So, what've you been doing

all afternoon?

Thinking.

Just a little stressed out.

I'm sorry, I know this wedding

is expanding

and I know that Aunt Violet

is never short on opinions.

She means well and I want her

to like me.

She knows a lot more about these

kinds of weddings than I do.

I've never been to a wedding

like this let alone planned one.

You're doing just fine.

I'm just starting to feel

a little bit overwhelmed,

but this is supposed to be fun

and I know it's just cake

but I was really looking forward

to picking it out with you.

Elizabeth, I don't want you

to think that this wedding

isn't important to me, too.

It is.

It's my way of showing the world

how much you mean to me.

You mean the world to me, too.

We'll work through this.

So what kind of cake

did you choose?

Well, you weren't there

so you're gonna have to wait

'til the wedding to find out.

Oh, come on. Tell me.

Please?

Alright.

I picked a vanilla buttercream

with a white ganache drizzle.

That does sound pretty good.

It was really good.

These invitations

look beautiful.

They better.

They just went out

to 200 guests.

[phone ringing]

[gasps]

If that's Violet adding more

guests don't answer.

Hello?

Principal Spraker.

I would love to come

for another meeting.

I will be there tomorrow.

Thank you.

Another meeting is good,

right?

Obviously you didn't do

as bad as you thought.

He didn't say what it was for.

Oh, stop it.

You're gonna get that job.

What do you think, Bliss?

Hmm?

What do you think?

[laughs]

After interviewing

all the candidates

I'd like to offer you the job.

You would?

I love the story about

the student who inspired you.

You did?

Everyone else talked about how

they changed their students.

You explained how a student

changed you.

Can you start August 26th?

Yes.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Yes.

Donovan Darcy's office.

Hi Brendan, can I speak

to Donovan, please?

Hi, Elizabeth.

Let me check.

[knocking]

Donovan?

And that's the honeymoon suite,

correct?

I want a view of all of Rome.

Sorry, he's not available.

Ok, um, well, I'll just talk

to him later.

Thanks.

I am so happy to be here today

to discuss your wedding flowers.

These cymbidiums would make

an elegant display,

especially massed.

They're lovely,

but I've seen them three times

at a wedding this year.

They've been done.

Ok.

Uh, what else can you suggest?

Well, these white lilacs

are exquisite.

June is a little late

in the season for them

but I do have a wonderful

distributor in Provence

who can guarantee a delivery.

I must warn you, though,

they are quite expensive.

Well, Elizabeth deserves

the best.

White lilacs get my vote.

Are you sure you can get them

here on time?

The wedding's in three weeks.

Of course. Not a problem.

Wait.

The theme is "city garden".

I was hoping to have a little

bit more color.

I wanted to discuss

that with you.

It's a very formal wedding

and I think colored flowers

are so...

informal.

But it's what Elizabeth wants.

Of course. It was just

a thought.

Lilacs are beautiful but

I like buttercups better.

Oh, honey, that's so sweet.

Buttercups?

Really?

Am I missing something?

My dad and I used to pick

yellow buttercups

on summer vacation

every year.

If we had them at the wedding it

would feel like he was with me.

I love that idea.

I do, too.

Well, we could put buttercups

in your bouquet.

I have a compromise.

Buttercups in your bouquet

and white lilacs

throughout the church

and at the reception.

Or we could have white lilacs

and buttercups together

at the church.

The hotel provides a selection

of everything needed

for the reception.

All we have to do is choose.

Oh my goodness.

This seems appropriate.

Ooh, I think that

this looks better.

I think we'll do

the simple ones.

So we're done, right?

Uh, no.

Now we need the stemware,

the silverware,

the linens, the chairs.
