It's...

It's amazing.

Thank you.

Thank you all for coming.

You are about to see the newest

and most exquisite

wedding dresses available

in the market today.

So, here we go,

the hottest trends

in dream dresses.

First up

is an ivory strapless

princess-style dress

with a Chantilly lace bodice.

Isn't she lovely?

How's

the groom-to-be?

I got problems, my brother.

Problems?

What do you mean?

You're in love.

Yeah, exactly.

This wedding is going

to break the bank.

...high-low gown

with a removable skirt.

And those of you who like

the sweetheart neckline,

this one comes with a lovely

antique lace overlay.

I mean, Annie wants the biggest

and best of everything,

and I don't want

to disappoint her.

And now for my favorite.

This dress is a Nena Lang.

This has a pleated bodice

and a spectacular mermaid skirt.

Absolutely stunning, isn't it?

All right, look

at that dress. Beautiful.

Do you have any idea

how much that costs?

She does look good.

I'm serious.

I mean...

At first...

it was the dress,

then it was the cake, and

then the flower arrangements.

And now? She wants to have the

wedding at a five-star resort,

with fireworks.

She left out

the horse and carriage?

For now.

If I may offer some advice?

Please.

Don't make

the same mistake I did.

Know what, let's go grab a beer

and we'll talk about it.

Actually, there's a great spreadsheet

in my book you might find helpful.

Benny, you're

an absolute lifesaver.

Here he comes again.

Do you still think

he's not the competition?

I don't know what to think.

How can I like someone

so much personally,

but dislike them

so much professionally?

Try to be nice.

Okay.

And smile.

Hi, Ben.

Hey, Michelle.

Truce?

I didn't know we were fighting.

In that case, we're not.

Listen, this place is starting

to drive me a little crazy.

Can we get out of here?

Maybe go for a walk?

Actually...

She would love to.

She'd love to.

Thank you.

Now, I... know that we've

had some misunderstandings

over the past couple days.

My book is a bit controversial.

About that book,

I'm sorry, what makes

a financial planner

write a book called

"Wedding Do's and Don'ts?"

Like...?

You know what,

I'm going to get to that.

Okay.

But first, I want

to tell you a story

about someone

who's really close to me,

who got blindsided,

never saw it coming,

Let's call him...

Len.

Len?

Yeah, Len.

So, Len is madly in love

with this woman.

Let's call her Carolyn.

You know, all Len ever wanted

to do was to make Carolyn happy.

So, when she wanted

this uber-expensive,

impress-everyone wedding

with all the bells and whistles,

he agreed.

Now, this poor,

head-over-heels guy in love

spent a huge pile of dough

on the biggest wedding

you could ever imagine.

How does it end up for Len?

Not... not good. No.

They split up after a year.

Turns out that she was

more interested in the wedding

than in the marriage,

and Len was heartbroken.

Destroyed.

And to top it all off, flat broke,

and up to his ears in debt.

That's terrible.

I'm really sorry.

I had no idea.

It's not me.

Were you listening?

"Len".

You're not Len?

Why? Because "Len"

sounds a lot like "Ben"?

And because my ex-wife, Marilyn,

decided she didn't want

to be married after a year?

Okay, yeah, no,

you're right, it is me.

Yeah, laugh at my pain.

No, I-I'm not laughing at you,

I'm laughing with you.

I'm not laughing.

I'm kidding, I'm kidding.

I'm fine.

Yeah, I survived by not

leaving the house for a year,

and eating bad take-out food,

watching way too much

Sports Center,

and that's when I decided

to write the book.

Are you doing better now?

Much better...

now.

You know, if you think about it,

this is kind of like our first date.

I wouldn't really call this

a date, but if you say so.

I do.

I can't wait for

this convention to be over.

I can't believe

you're saying that.

Is it my imagination, or were we

just spinning our wheels today?

Well, today,

we sort of accomplished...

not as much as we could have.

Only a couple potential clients,

no new contracts.

Any good news?

Yes, we added

two new vendors to our roster,

Bodies by Bobby

and Elite Flowers,

which is the best florist

in the city.

Okay.

Yeah, that's...

What...

what's all this?

My faves.

Since when?

Since I was six.

All right, well,

How's everybody doing

out there?

Havin' a good time?

Well, for those of you

who like Country and Western,

won't you please give it up

for Mr. Wichita!

Your Country DJ.

He's perfect

for your upcoming ceremony.

And now,

it's time to boot scoot!

You heard him, ladies,

time to boot scoot.

I can't help it.

I just, I keep seeing dollar signs

ringing in my eyeballs.

It's like a cartoon,

"Ka-ching! Ka-ching! Ka-ching!"

Why do we have to have

such a big wedding?

Because

we only get to do this once.

You heard what Libby said.

Yeah, I did, but, sweetie,

we're not David and Samantha.

They make way more money

than we do.

But we can afford some things.

Yeah, some things,

but not Nena Lang dresses,

and thousand-dollar

flower arrangements.

And I Googled the Cake Kyng.

He's got four dollar symbols.

That's three more dollar symbols

than Adrays.

We are not getting the cake

from a box store.

This is our wedding,

not my 13th birthday.

The cake is going to be

on display...

Yeah, for, like, 10 minutes,

and then it's gonna be

cut up and eaten.

I can't believe

you just said that.

I know you want

the perfect setting,

and the perfect dress,

and the perfect everything,

but we need to figure out a

budget, and we need to stick to it.

I see what's happening here.

You've been talking

with Ben again.

Yeah.

So?

Do you really think

I'm going to plan my wedding

based on the advice of

your cynical college roommate?

Well, he makes

some valid points.

Okay, you know what,

let's talk about this later.

Come on, let's go dance.

You love this stuff.

Come on.

No thanks. I'm not

really in the mood.

Brian, the party is great.

Even better than last year.

Thank you.

My calf's a little sore,

Libby only kicked me

three times.

- It was twice.

- I think it was more...

Hello.

Listen, Brian,

We've all been talking, and

we feel we need to do something

about the "dump the event" guy.

Look, I told you,

he's only here to sell his book.

That's the problem,

his book is totally anti-event.

We're all pro-event,

and it's making it difficult

for us to "sell the event".

Stop sugar-coating it,

Meredith.

He's flat-out sabotaging us.

I don't think

he's trying to sabotage us.

Have you read his book?

No, and we don't intend to.

Well, it's a primer on how to get

married quick, dirty, and cheap.

In a panel this morning, he said

my fondant was a "fon-don't".

And, "Why hire a photographer

"when you can just use your iPhone

and share photos

on the Internet?"

Guys, is this really the time

and place to have this discussion?

Every second that guy sticks around,
