RT's Catering.

Here, do you want to look?

Big variety, it's buffet style so

it's a little bit more affordable.

And this, most would say

was the best,

Silverman's Catering.

They're known for their

prime rib and lobster.

The prime rib looks delicious,

and I love lobster.

Libby, we might want to consider

more modest menu options

and instead put the money back

into Annie's wedding dress.

Okay, well, what do you suggest?

We have to feed 150 people.

Please don't mention 150 people.

It makes me nervous.

Why, honey?

Just all those people

watching me say "I do".

Sweetie,

that's so cute.

My gosh,

that's really good.

I had no idea.

Alex and I love food trucks.

Yeah, Wok and Roll,

Thrilled Cheese.

Don't forget 50 Shades of Filet.

And my personal favorite,

Tapas the Morning to you.

And the best barbecue places

is Indiana Bones.

Wait, why don't we just have

a food truck cater the wedding?

A food truck?

For a wedding?

It's affordable.

Okay, I like

the way you're thinking.

Thank you.

And you guys could have

the reception

out in the harbor,

then you could come back here,

your guests could go to the

food truck, get their food,

get back on the boat

to dine and dance.

Yeah, that could be great.

What do you guys think?

I love it.

Yeah, me too.

Glad I'm on board

for this cruise.

I would hope so.

You should try this one as well,

It's stunning.

And how is

everything going over here?

Well, we're still looking.

See anything you like?

They're all beautiful...

I think you liked this one.

The lace was nice.

Now, ladies...

You know I loathe

being the bearer of bad news,

but have you seen these prices?

We can't afford these dresses.

I think our best option

is to rent a dress.

Chapter 5.

"Don't Drown in the Gown".

So you did read my book.

Would you like it back?

Yeah, so I can hit you with it.

Ooh, ouch, not again.

I'm sorry,

but I really don't want to rent.

I want to have this dress

forever.

Of course.

In that case, maybe we

should look over here.

Here are my most

affordable dresses,

and truthfully, most of them

are perfectly lovely.

What about this one?

It has a classic open back.

I don't think so.

This is very popular.

This is a knock-off of Verdiggio's

Mediterranean line, El Greco.

I just don't think it suits me.

Hold on, the dress that

Annie modeled at the expo,

is that still in the shop?

Yes.

And modeling it at the expo,

wouldn't that have

turned it into a sample?

Well, yes, it would.

And what kind of a the discount

do you offer on samples?

Well, usually, 35 to 40%.

All right, well,

let's call it half price,

and we'll throw in

photos from the wedding

that you can use for marketing.

You know Libby's photographer

is excellent.

I think we can all agree Annie

looked stunning in that dress.

And she is your client...

Sold!

Thank you so much.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

I love you for that.

And I think the dress

is right over here.

I think I love you

for that, too.

Okay, time to learn

your wedding dance.

Stand straight.

Your shoulders back.

Good.

Nice firm arm.

Now, you can't think.

Just do.

Just let your body do it.

Thinking will only

get in your way.

Let me show you what I mean.

Libby?

Thank you.

Now, Alex, you have to be

a nice strong lead.

Just...

concentrate on

your partner's beautiful eyes

and feel the music...

...and everything else

will take care of itself.

Okay, Alex, give it a shot.

Okay.

Yeah, this is gonna be trouble.

Alex was always

a terrible dancer.

Well, at least he has

a few days to learn.

Yeah, he's going to need

every minute of it.

Have I ever told you my motto?

You have a motto?

Of course.

And your motto is?

"Never let a good song

go to waste".

Would you like

to dance with me again?

Did I ever tell you my motto?

I'm listening.

"Never refuse

a beautiful woman".

And I promise

I won't step on your toes.

I'll forgive you if you do.

Okay, so, this is where

your reception will be,

with the dance floor

right in the middle.

We'll be doing the cutting

of the cake on the bow,

and you'll say your "I do's"

on the upper deck upstairs.

Isn't it perfect, honey?

Yeah.

Yeah I-I just,

I didn't expect it to be...

so, so big.

And this is where

we'll have the Big Show.

Show?

Let me give you a little visual

so you know what

I'm talking about.

Okay.

We're going to place 12 of

these monitors around the room,

surrounding you and your guests.

They will see a montage

of your lives.

This will all be edited together

with a beautiful piece of music,

and the whole experience will say

"This marriage was meant to be".

That's a great idea.

That's what I call romantic.

Does the show have to

be about us?

Couldn't it be about,

you know, somebody else?

You.

He has to joke about everything.

No, I'm...

I'm serious.

Is there a bathroom on the boat?

Yeah, it's back there.

Is he going to be okay?

Actually, I'm not sure.

I think he might be

having some jitters.

But I'm sure he'll be fine.

Try not to worry about it.

Excuse me.

I gotta to tell you, Libby,

it's been a real treat for me,

seeing you put this thing together,

and this is the icing

on the cake, Really.

This is going to be

a very special wedding.

You should be proud of yourself.

I'm proud of us.

Thank you for helping.

I couldn't have gotten

this far without you.

I guess we make

a pretty good team, then.

Maybe this is the start

of something special.

Maybe.

Would you like it to be?

Good night, Ben Reynolds.

Good night, Libby Boland.

"Dear Libby and Ben,

"I'm so sorry to tell you this,

"but Annie and I have decided

not to get married

"on the Harbor Cruise ship.

"Please know

this is all my fault

and not hers".

Libby, what's wrong?

"The truth is that

the prospect of 150 people

"all coming to watch me

say 'I do'

"is more than I can bear.

"We've decided to elope,

"and by the time you read this,

we'll be gone.

"Unfortunately,

"the money we were going to

spend on the wedding

we'll need for our trip to Fiji".

"I hope you can find it

in your heart to forgive me.

Yours truly, Alex".

Can you believe he did this?

Poor guy.

Poor guy?

What are you talking about?

I feel for him,

he must be scared.

To walk away

from his own wedding?

He must be terrified.

What?

I'm on the hook for everything.

The venue, the catering,

the dress, the cake.

You don't have anything in this.

I'm done.

You can sue him.

Well, unfortunately,

he's one of your best friends,

so I'm not going to sue him.

Besides, you know what that

would do to my reputation?

My business is ruined.

Come on... don't-don't cry.

We'll figure something out.

Everything I've worked for...

Look at me.

Do you trust me?

Then you believe me

when I tell you

that I am not going to

let that happen.

Okay, 'Chelle? Hey.

Will you make sure

the champagne is on ice?

Yeah, and check

the place cards,

make sure they've been

alphabetized.
