My Favorite Wedding Page #4

seeing her that happy?

Yeah, totally.

'Kay, that was

so not heartfelt.

By the way,

good job playing backup today.

So you're saying

I'm like your nurse?

Oh, no,

I would never say that!

Nurses are heroic

and devoted to their work.

And I'll be leaving now.

See you at the ceremony.

Not a moment sooner.

Works for me.

- Hey!

- Howdy.

How's it going, bud?

- Hi.

- Hi.

So...

what's his deal anyway?

Michael?

He's Jack's

college roommate.

They go way back.

He's cute, huh?

Oh, well...

whatever.

I mean, he certainly thinks

very highly of himself.

Well, you've got

good hair,

so he makes up

for it.

Well, all I know is,

you guys are rock stars

for getting that cake,

and I'm sorry I've been

so stressed this week.

Well, rule number one...

always keep a stressed

patient distracted.

So what do you think

about a round of golf

in the morning?

You're on.

[tapping glass]

Welcome, all.

I just want

to thank everyone

for joining us here

for this very happy occasion.

Now, everybody,

go find your bungalows,

because we've got four days

of fun and festivities

to look forward to.

Cheers!

How was that?

Very well done.

Nice!

I know!

It's happening!

You've reached Dex.

You know what to do.

Hey, Dex.

I was just calling

to let you know

I got in okay, and...

that I miss you.

Wish you were here.

You would really love

this place.

Okay. Bye.

[Tess]:
Isn't this great?

Getting out,

getting some fresh air,

some exercise...

getting your mind off of the...

The wedding?

Yeah, this is

a good stress reliever,

and I clearly needed it.

So... Jack's

been acting strangely.

How so?

Last night, I wanted

to go over the seating chart,

and he was absolutely nowhere

to be found.

I mean, I just...

I don't get it.

He's usually so reliable.

Do you think this is

a sign of things to come?

I'm sure

it's just a case of nerves.

Yeah...

Oh, speaking of nerves,

would you like

to write my wedding vows?

Hah!

Your fifth-grade paper

on pilgrims was one thing.

Your wedding vows...

that's something else.

But I did get an "A"

on that paper.

Yeah, and ironically,

I turned mine in late.

Hey, you know what?

Let's go lose ourselves

in some waffles.

[phone chimes]

Yeah, uh...

oh, darn.

Oh, that's my Aunt Karen

from the airport.

Her flight

keeps getting bumped.

Oh, no!

You go ahead.

I'll meet you there.

Okay.

What's up with the name tags?

Oh, it's a game

to help guests

get to know each other!

You get the name tag

with the name

of a famous person

put on your back...

And then you get somebody

to help you guess who you are.

So, Tess, any clues who I am?

Oh, uh,

you dropped out of Harvard

and became

one of the richest men

in the world.

Oh, I wish.

Then I could afford

this wedding.

Henry, you promised.

Tess, dear,

make sure you get

something to eat.

Oh, and any hints?

Who am I?

Oh...

you like to

solve mysteries.

Think British.

It's elementary.

Sherlock Holmes?

Right you are!

Oh, perfect.

Now maybe I can solve

the mystery

of that missing boyfriend.

Abandoning

a pretty girl like you?

Oh, wow,

I'd better hurry.

They're almost out

of waffles!

Mildred?

Enjoying the perks?

Got about a day's

worth of calories

on that plate.

Yep, um...

I'm carb-loading.

I've got 18 holes of golf

out there with my name on them,

right after brunch.

Here, help me

figure out who I am?

Hmm?

Oh, you're immature.

You enjoy winning

and giving orders.

Ah... Napoleon?

Oh, you're talking

about the game?

Come on,

tell me who I am.

You're Peter Pan.

Ah. All right.

You are a woman,

you led an army,

and you're a martyr.

Joan of Arc.

Very fitting.

[Michael]:

Old friend?

[Tess]:

No, that's Dr. Hastings.

He's the head

of the medical board

at Northwestern.

I have never met him,

but I certainly

would like to.

Well, here's

your big chance.

I just don't know

what I would say.

I mean, you could start

with something like "hello."

Yeah?

[Michael]:

Okay, here he comes.

Here he comes.

No...

- [phone chimes]

- And there he goes.

I am getting paged.

What, by a patient?

No, by the...

by the bride.

[whispering]

Can you do help?

Can you do it?

- Yeah.

- Thanks.

Put down that bacon.

We've got a task.

Again?

Oh, no, no, no, no. No.

And you think

I am happy about this?

Amber's Aunt Karen

was supposed

to do something big

for the wedding,

and she missed

her flight!

Yeah, but I have a tee time,

and I'm going golfing,

and you should be getting

your massage

that you re-scheduled.

But the bride needs

her something-blue!

What is that?

"Something old, something new,

something borrowed,

something blue?"

Right,

but what is the "something?"

I don't know yet!

You know what?

You just go play golf,

but just answer me

this before you go

since you know this city

like the back of your hand.

Is there, like,

a really good vintage

accessories place?

What?

In English?

Like, an antique

jewelry store.

Oh.

Um...

I might... know a place.

Okay, great.

Thank you.

Let's go.

We don't have time.

You're going to starve!

[sighs]

I'm taking my bacon.

[Michael]:
It's a perfect day

for golf.

Oh, quit sulking.

Anyway, helping people

is its own reward,

and besides, as Maid of Honor

and Best Man, it is our...

Sacred duty.

Yeah, yeah, yeah,

but Jack Nicklaus just designed

this golf course back there,

so...

And look,

I loved him in Chinatown,

but can we please get

this dog and pony show

on the road?

Okay, wait, what?

Where did that expression

come from?

Do you know?

Well, obviously, the dog needed

a sophisticated touch,

so they added a pony.

No, no, no, the pony needed

to appeal to the masses,

so they added the dog.

Is everything an argument

with you?

Wow, you really are

a lawyer.

Can we go, please?

Can you put down that...

I don't...

Hold it.

Okay, I'll hold it.

Yeah, thank you.

[starts the car]

Oh, I hate to say it, but...

this place looks perfect.

Let's head inside.

Look, I think

I'm just going to wait out here.

I don't want to go in, so...

It's a jewelry store,

not a haunted house.

Come on, help me

pick something out.

Ah, look!

Something blue.

All done. Let's go.

Um, a keychain?

Yep.

I mean, look at that.

To unlock the secrets

of each other's hearts.

It's poetic.

Okay, Amber is not going

to pin a keychain

to her wedding dress.

How do you even know

about this place?

I... I just do.

Fine, be mysterious.

Oh, look at that!

Oh, yeah,

that's perfect.

Can we go now?

[Tess]:

Oh, you know what? No.

Amber was swarmed

by dragonflies

when she was young.

She still has

flashbacks.

[gasps]

Yes!

Mm, that...

is perfect.

Really is.

What are you staring at?

Hmm?

Oh, nothing.

It's just

that it matches your eyes.

Oh, you know what?

I think it's a little...

I think it's a little flashy.

Yeah.

Mm-hmm.

Listen...

why do you even ask

for my opinion

if you're just going

to ignore it?

Oh, 'cause

when it comes to weddings,
