Ms. Matched Page #7

I will be hated.

You will be hated,

but you will be

selling books, though.

All the difference in the world.

It's not gonna happen.

I'm gonna do

another bridal expo.

Boy.

Did he send you that?

No, I ordered it.

You ordered it?

So?

There might be something

I can glean from it.

Girlfriend,

you got it bad.

What are you doing here?

You're the last person

I expected to see.

I've been thinking a lot

about Alex and Annie.

They're really good together,

and they love each other.

So you're not here to make up?

Look,

we can't pretend that we had

nothing to do with that break-up,

so we need to do something.

What do you want to do?

It's their lives, not ours.

I don't know.

But something.

Good one.

That's past the 240 marker.

Keep that up, you can give the

wedding game and go on the tour.

Right.

I should quit the wedding game.

Listen, Alex, I want to

apologize for the role I played

in your breakup with Annie.

Forget it.

No. No, I'm serious.

I love you guys,

and that's the last thing

I wanted to see happen.

It's, you know,

because we're friends,

I got so caught up

in the financial aspects,

that I forgot about the love.

I'm the one

who asked you for help, so...

it wasn't you, it was me.

Well, I know that we talked a lot

about the expense of the Big Day,

though we never talked about the

financial benefits of getting hitched.

Like filing a joint tax return.

And insurance is cheaper...

Benny, Benny, stop.

None of those are good reasons

to get married.

I made my choice, and...

now I gotta live with it.

No. You don't.

You can still make things right.

You guys can work

this thing out.

I don't know, I mean, she

doesn't even want to talk to me.

I hope you're right,

because I'm lost without her.

I know what you mean.

The right woman is hard to find,

and when you do,

you better hold on tight.

The front desk said

I'd find you out here.

Thank you for taking

the time to meet with me.

Do you want to sit?

I was happy you called,

but surprised.

Nothing's changed.

We're not getting married.

Well, that's why I'm here.

I wanted to apologize.

That's not necessary.

Annie...

I got so wrapped up

in wanting to give you

the wedding of your dreams,

I forgot about the practical,

the hard costs.

That was not fair to do

to you or Alex.

I'm so sorry.

I was the one

who wanted the big wedding.

That's all I cared about.

Forget about the wedding,

just think about Alex the person.

You two were so good together.

I know.

We were.

Well, you can make it right,

and you should.

I was so mad.

I said some terrible things.

That doesn't even matter.

You two love each other.

I just...

I wish we could start over.

I wish that, too.

Annie?

What?

It's so good

to see you guys together.

I was not expecting this.

How are you?

What's going on?

Well...

What's he doing here?

What's going on?

Why don't you guys

sit down? We'll explain.

We have some news

we want to share.

I hope this is about

what I think it is.

We're back together.

- That is great news.

- That's amazing.

And we're getting married.

- Congratulations!

- That's fantastic.

This is really the best news.

And we want the two of you

to help us plan our wedding.

- I can't work with her.

- I can't work with him.

But I can't get married

without your help.

And I can't get married

without you.

Thank you...

This is a quandary.

It's more of a conundrum.

Well, you don't want us

to break up again, do you?

No!

Then it's settled.

When can we get started?

All right, come on, people,

we're a team.

Everybody, group hug, people!

Okay, maybe not.

Isn't this exiting?

We have our Dream Team here.

So, if we're going to have a June

wedding, we'd better get going.

Libby?

No, I'm going to let Ben

lead this one.

No, no, you go ahead.

No, please, I insist.

You're the wedding planner.

You should lead the charge.

All right, all right,

I'll start.

Annie and I were thinking

that Calamigos would be

a good venue for us.

Yes. It's very romantic.

I think that's perfect.

It's a great idea

if you want to get married

in your street clothes,

because you're not going to be

able to afford a wedding dress.

That place is so expensive.

Are you sure?

I'm sure. Yes.

How about the beach

at Los Oros, at sunset?

Well, clearly, you need

to get out more,

because Los Oros

is infested with flies.

They bite.

It's a terrible idea.

Biting flies.

Okay, Los Oros

is definitely out.

How about

the Westbrook Country Club?

They book a year in advance, but

sometimes, they have cancellations.

Please, that is your typical,

been-there, done-that venue.

Don't you want to give them

the wedding of their dreams?

Yeah, but you want to scrape two

nickels together to pay for it.

Just something

affordable, Libby.

Well, I hope you don't suggest a

drive-thru in Vegas.

- Would anyone like a coffee?

- No.

Finally, an agreement.

I'm starting to think

this was a bad idea.

Yeah, I mean, maybe

we should just elope.

- No.

- No.

Guys, I know old habits

are hard to break,

but can't you two

please try to get along?

For the sake of our wedding day?

Libby, don't I

remember you saying

that each wedding

should be unique,

and you try and tailor the

ceremony to each individual couple?

I did.

All right, well,

I happen to know

that these two had

their first date on a...

Harbor Cruise.

A boat could be a perfect idea.

And it just so happens

that one of my clients

owns one of the boats,

and I'd be able to negotiate

a fair and affordable price.

I love that idea.

Yeah, yeah, me too.

Now, I know this really

isn't my department,

but I think it would be

really romantic.

I guess we're all

going to the harbor.

Ships ahoy, all hands on deck.

You know, I haven't

been here in so long.

I forgot how beautiful

this place is.

And budget friendly.

I am so rubbing off on you.

We'll see.

Okay, so we need a dance floor.

A place to put the tables

and chairs, a place for the DJ,

and somewhere to serve the food.

You know, if I was

the wedding planner...

But you're not.

Right. I forgot.

All I do is crunch numbers.

Crunch, crunch, crunch,

crunch, crunch.

There we go.

But if I was a wedding planner,

I might consider having the

ceremony on the roof deck.

And we could seal the wedding

with a kiss right at sunset.

What an amazing photo

that would be.

And we could just do the reception

on one of the lower decks.

Which means that we could save

the roof deck for the first dance,

With the mountains behind them?

And there's plenty of

room on the middle deck

for the tables and chairs.

You missed your calling,

"Book By Ben".

Thank you very much,

"Weddings by Libby".

This is going to be a huge amount

of work in not a lot of time.

Are you sure you're up for this?

As ready as a man can be.

Okay.

Okay, do you want

to go over menus?

Perfect.

So, this is Leone's catering

It's Italian, it's a little

pricey, but really reliable.
