Marrying Mr. Darcy Page #7

---

and that way it's just about us.

Just two people who are in love

and getting married.

No big church, no fancy dress,

no fuss.

We could do that.

If you want.

Do you want a- a small ceremony

with none of our friends

and none of our family?

I don't know.

[knocking]

I'm so sorry but they're getting

restless in the conference room.

I'll be there when I can.

Look, I... I love you

more than anything.

Why don't you go back

to your meeting

and we can continue

this conversation tonight?

I love you.

I do want to talk about this.

I'll find you at Gabrielle's

later, ok?

Ok.

[message alert]

[door opens, closes]

Donovan?

Hey.

Henry just dropped me off.

What're you still doing up

at 2:
00AM?

I was waiting for Donovan.

He just texted me.

"Held up at work.

Now it's too late."

"Sorry. See you tomorrow."

I thought I was marrying

Donovan Darcy, not his work.

Is it always gonna be

"see you tomorrow"?

[crying]

I'm sorry.

[knocking]

Elizabeth.

I need to talk to you.

Please, come in.

Come and sit down?

No. This won't take long.

I've been up all night

thinking...

and I do love you and I know

that you love me.

Of course I love you.

And in three days we're supposed

to get married but...

What?

My heart is telling me that

we might be rushing into this.

So what're you saying?

I don't know.

I'm so confused.

So sit and talk to me.

I don't wanna sit!

I'm sorry but I need time

to myself to think.

Elizabeth, wait.

[door closes]

Elizabeth!

Elizabeth, come on.

I need to talk to you. Please?

Elizabeth, I really need

to talk to you.

Elizabeth, come on. Please?

[knocking]

Elizabeth, please talk to me.

Elizabeth?

Lizzy?

What's going on?

I told Donovan that I need some

time to think about the wedding.

[knocking]

The wedding is almost here.

Elizabeth.

Are you serious?

Elizabeth, open the door.

Please.

Yeah.

[knocking]

[door opens and closes]

What's going on?

Elizabeth says she's not sure

about the wedding.

Is she calling it off?

I don't know.

She came over, she said that

we're drifting apart

and that she thinks

we're rushing into things.

You've got to talk to her.

I tried.

She won't see me.

[knocking]

Lizzy?

I just want to be left alone.

Ok.

I'll just leave it here for you.

[sobbing]

Did you see this coming?

No.

No?

Really?

There was nothing?

Uh, well, she was talking about

how he was always at work

and, oh, she was worried

he was pulling away,

but I didn't think she was

this upset.

Ok.

He has been working day

and night,

but he's been doing it for her.

He's been doing what for her?

Well, it was supposed to be

a surprise

but he has been secretly

planning a month-long honeymoon.

Ok.

That's really sweet.

Completely misguided,

but sweet.

We have to tell her.

No, no, no, no, no.

This has to come from Donny.

Henry!

When we get married,

no surprises.

Yeah.

Way ahead of ya.

You've gotta do something.

She will not talk to me.

So try again.

Buddy, she needs to know

why you've been absent.

What if it's too late?

[door opens, closes]

Donovan, how are you?

I don't know.

I don't know how I am.

I- I... I'm always so sure

of myself and now I'm not.

Elizabeth has a good head

on her shoulders.

She'll come to her senses.

What if she doesn't?

[knocking]

Come in.

Elizabeth,

May I come in?

I just saw Donovan.

He's devastated.

I'm sorry if I hurt him.

I'm sorry if I've caused you

any pain.

It was from my manner

and not from my heart.

I appreciate that.

I know I may have been a little

pushy and overbearing

regarding the wedding,

but Donovan's like a son to me.

I want what's best for him.

You see him as a confident,

successful businessman.

I suppose I still see him as

a heartbroken 19-year-old

who just lost his parents.

When I first met you

I was worried that you weren't

strong enough for him,

but when you stood up to me

about him running the foundation

full-time I was impressed.

You seemed annoyed.

Well, I was at the time.

I know you have his best

interests at heart, as do I.

You two will make

a wonderful team.

Thank you, Violet.

That really means

a lot to me.

[knocking]

Lizzy?

Hey.

You're my beautiful, brave,

headstrong,

impulsive daughter.

And if you decide you don't

wanna get married

I'll support that.

But I wanna ask you a question.

Do you really think you can live

the rest of your life

without him?

[message alert]

"Dearest Elizabeth, I'll be

at our spot in the park.

"I'm asking from the bottom

of my heart,

"please come talk to me."

So...

what're you gonna do?

[sighs]

Aunt Violet says that we are

the two most stubborn people

on the planet.

And this is what I was

being stubborn about,

even though Henry told me

I'm wrong.

Remember when I surprised

you with the ring?

I wanted to surprise you

with one more thing.

I've been working night and day

to give us a one month

around the world honeymoon.

I probably should have included

you in that decision.

That's why you were never there.

I wish you would have told me.

I should have.

I was wrong.

I love you so much.

But we're just so different.

Our weddings show

how different we are.

I... I wanted a tiny garden

wedding.

You wanted a wedding

for 200 people.

And neither of us is wrong

for wanting those things.

I'm just afraid that's what

our life is gonna be like.

That one of us is gonna have

to give up what we want.

Can't we have it all?

I don't see how.

I think our differences

make us stronger.

I think we're better together

than we are apart.

You made me see

the world differently,

about a lot of things.

Even the foundation.

Henry and Randolph Peck can run

the business side of things

and I've decided I'll spend

all of my time

with the Darcy Foundation.

I'm glad.

You know, for a while there

we stopped communicating

and that's where

our problems started.

Because we're always at our best

when we're talking all the time

and I love that.

I never told you how important

the garden wedding was for me.

I just wanted it to be us

and a few people that we love

and I lost that.

And I just wanted

the big wedding

so we could be surrounded

by all the people

who wish us well.

And now we're back

to where we started.

I have an idea.

I do, too.

Mmm?

What are you thinking?

You first.

No, you first.

You first.

I asked first.

Ladies first.

Hmm.

We got a text from Donovan.

We received one from Elizabeth.

If they're breaking up

I'll be crushed.

Devastated.

There they are.

So what have you decided?

I've got to know.

I have decided that maybe

you are a bit more grown up

than I've given you credit for,

and you can go to the Montreal

camp this summer.

You should be able to pursue

your interests.

A smart teacher told me that.

She was right.

That's great.

But what about the wedding?

Oh, right.

The wedding.

Well, Donovan and I decided

what we wanna do

and the only way we can make it

happen is if everybody helps.
