On Set: The Making of 'A Christmas Wedding Tail' Page #2

---

Says the guy who thought

"The Notebook" was a comedy.

Look, you don't know anything about him.

Just don't get hurt.

I won't let myself get hurt, Mom.

Okay, I have to go pick up the boys.

What time do we open anyway?

Two hours ago.

Okay, Rusty, let's go.

Come on, let's go get your boys.

Wait a second. So you don't

actually work at a vineyard?

You own this vineyard?

I actually inherited it

when my folks passed away.

it's beautiful.

It is beautiful.

I've actually had a lot of offers

from people to buy this place,

but I can't imagine

anyone else managing it.

And half the people that work here

have been here since before I was born.

Whoa. Watch your step.

- Here, hold on to my arm.

- Thank you.

What about you?

What was your business back in LA?

I was a curator

at the California Museum of Art.

- Really?

- Yes.

Wow. What happened?

Budget cuts.

My department got consolidated.

So here I am.

Ouch.

Where are all the grapes?

The grapes have already

been harvested.

They've been barreled.

They're fermenting.

And we'll bottle them

by Christmas.

Oh, Christmas.

I love Christmas.

Yeah, me too.

It's the time of year I can remember

my whole family being together.

Mm.

Yeah.

- Are you hungry?

- Yeah, I'm starving.

That's good, 'cause I had the chef

make something special for us.

- Shall we?

- We shall.

Let's do it. All right.

- There it is.

- There you go.

Oh, that smells delicious.

Sir.

Okay.

Wow, thanks, Frank.

It's a special mixture

of black truffles, sausage

and oyster stuffing

in one stunning chicken.

Okay.

Or I'll be right back.

- That's Frank.

- Yeah, he's a keeper.

He's my boy. He's my boy.

Speaking of chicken,

did you know

that the longest recorded flight

of a chicken was 13 seconds?

No, I did not know that.

I am an encyclopedia

of useless information.

Well, if you're speaking of poultry, did

you know that Donald Duck's middle name

was Fauntleroy?

- Fascinating.

How about this one?

Cookie Monster's first name--

Sid.

Sorry. Yeah, food.

That was very impressive.

Wow. Well, I guess we know

our children's programs here.

Apparently.

- Hey, I actually wanted to talk--

- You know, there's something

I wanted to tell you.

Sorry, you go ahead.

Go ahead.

No, I insist.

- I have three boys.

- I have two children.

What?

Really?

I can't believe

you just said that.

You don't know how worried

I was to tell you that.

No, I was worried that you were--

not that you were gonna say,

but I was" I didn't want

to say it too. I'm--

Can I show you pictures?

Yes, please.

This is so great.

I had no idea.

- Really?

- Yes.

- Why would you lie?

- I know.

- Oh.

- That's my youngest.

That's Emma.

She's seven.

Oh, I bet she loves

ponies and Barbies and--

More like spiders and frogs

and snakes.

You know, anything that slithers

or spits venom-- she's probably got it.

Still, she's adorable.

She's a cutie.

And this is my oldest,

just turned 11,

loves anything

with a ball or a puck.

Oh, he's so handsome.

What's his name?

Her name is Madison.

It's a girl?

She wanted to join

the rugby team.

I had to draw the line somewhere.

I hope I'm not scaring you right now.

No no, not at all.

In fact, here you go.

The one on the left is Logan.

He is going to be the first

nine-year-old

with his own

four-star restaurant.

- That's amazing.

- Well, maybe he can help me out

'cause I can barely boil

a pot of water.

The one in the middle is Josh.

He is gonna be the next

Mark Zuckerberg.

Is he really?

I don't know where he finds

the time to study though.

He's always tinkering around

on his computer.

And who's this little guy

on the end?

Oh, that's my Ryan.

He's too young.

He doesn't know what he wants to be.

He's a snappy dresser.

Yeah, that's a new phase.

He actually hasn't said much

since his dad passed away.

I'm sorry to hear that.

Yeah, the psychologists say

he will talk when he's ready.

Well, after my wife passed

I had a really hard time

wanting to talk to anyone about it,

so I get what he's going through.

It's a lot of emotion and pain

to deal with.

Yeah, so much, you don't

really know what to do with it.

Exactly.

It's so hard.

I can only imagine

how hard it must have been

for the boys.

Well, they're lucky to have a mom

like you to help them through it.

Yeah.

Well, that was

kind of amazing.

That was great.

It was really fun.

We should do it again.

Okay.

Wow, you have frogs here.

Yeah.

- Till the next time then.

- Okay.

What can I say?

My little Rusty was

an excellent matchmaker.

Why don't you tell them

what happened next?

Once things

got rolling between them,

things moved pretty fast.

And Jake and Susan grew

closer and closer.

Finally it was time

for the kids to meet.

They seemed to have

a great time, didn't they?

You're going down, sister.

You wish.

No one beats Madison.

Hike the ball already.

Come on.

Hike.

Oh yeah, it was classic.

Yes! Oh!

- Yes yes yes!

Nice job. Let's go back.

Fire guns. Guns ablaze.

Guns ablaze. Guns ablaze.

- Loser.

- Daddy!

Everyone started

spending time together.

? Angel rubbed her eyes ?

? She turned away ?

? She thought that her mind

had gone astray ?

? But the little man

gently touched her ?

? Said, "Girl,

I'm on your side..." ?

- I'm supposed to put all this in here?

- Yeah.

- All of it?

- All of it.

Yeah, that's good.

That's a whisk.

- Do I mix it up here like this?

- No no. Okay.

This is important.

I have to be able to impress Susan.

- No, you should--

- I don't know anything about cooking.

Okay, thank you.

- Bend down a little bit.

- Press "on"?

- Press the "on."

- Uh-huh. Okay.

That's not funny.

That is not funny.

And everyone was having

the most amazing time.

? There he goes, Whoo! ?

Best of all, I got to spend more time

with my beloved Cheri.

Those were good days.

Yes, they certainly were.

And before you knew it,

the Christmas season was here.

? Deck the halls

with boughs of holly ?

? Fa Ia Ia Ia Ia

Ia Ia Ia Ia ?

? 'Tis the season

to be jolly ?

? Fa Ia Ia Ia Ia

Ia Ia Ia Ia ?

? Don we now

our gay apparel ?

? Fa Ia Ia Ia Ia Ia

Ia Ia Ia ?

? Troll the ancient

Yuletide carol... ?

Jake decided

to invite us all over

for Thanksgiving dinner.

- I didn't take it though.

- Yes, you did.

You guys, slow down by the pool.

I don't want anyone--

oh gosh, don't get hurt, please.

Oh, this is so beautiful.

I don't need anyone

getting hurt before the meal.

- I know. Thank you so much.

- I didn't take it.

Give it back.

Hey, it took all day

to make that oyster stuffing.

Oh!

- My computer.

- Oh, I'm so sorry.

Oh boy.

What is going on over there?

I told you not to take Bridget

out of the cage.

Wait, who's Bridget?

Bridget's the mouse.

There's a mouse? Where?

- Over there.

- Bridget!

- Where?

- Oh, here it comes. Here it comes.

it's coming over here. Oh!

I would like to show my thanks

to this young chef right here
