On Set: The Making of 'A Christmas Wedding Tail' Page #5

- Oh, I love their shrimp toast.

- I love their crullers.

So this is our only option?

Yeah, and for $150

it'd better be a good one.

Ay-yi-yi.

- No no no no no no.

No no no. No dogs allowed.

Oh, we have an appointment.

Jake Campbell and Susan Davis.

- We had an appointment with Howard?

- Hank.

Hillary Spaulding.

And no animals are allowed

on the premises.

No dogs? Ouch.

Oh.

I assure you

they'll be well-behaved.

Clearly this lady does not know us.

- Yes, I know.

- That's what they all say.

But I know what you're thinking.

You're thinking, "I can leave

a nice little present on the fairway."

Yeah, too late.

And won't the greens keeper

just love that?

We were actually hoping that the dogs

could participate in the ceremony.

Yes. See,

they're the reason we met.

So no dogs" no ceremony.

No $150 a plate.

Well, then welcome

to the Los Olives Country Club.

Pleasure.

If it's a nice, quiet, romantic ceremony

that you're looking for,

I believe you've come

to the right place.

But let me show you

some options.

I'll get another golf cart over there.

After you.

- Thank you.

- Thank you.

And if you lift a leg, you're done.

I think this lady needs a few days

in obedience school.

I really think you're gonna love

the facilities, yes.

The banquet facilities

are world class.

Our chef is world-renowned.

And you're gonna love the catering.

Hey, Rust,

what are you--

what are you thinking of me

hitching up with your mom?

Is that all right?

Oh, there's a bridal suite too,

if you need to get ready beforehand.

It's fabulous.

It's so pretty.

Isn't it pretty, honey?

Yeah, it's gorgeous.

No, you're not gonna see

anything like it for miles around,

I assure you.

Oh my, is that what I think it is?

Ignore him, Rusty. He's just a stray.

it's another dog! Let's get him!

- Rusty, no. Get back here.

- Whoa whoa whoa.

- Oh.

- Oh.

Why are you guys chasing me?

Just get him.

Hey.

- No!

- Guys, wait up.

Now I got you.

- Aha! Now I'm gonna chase you.

- Don't chase me.

Rusty, listen to me. Stop it.

I'm gonna get you.

I'm gonna get-- whoa!

I know. Goodness.

- You guys both go sit.

- Okay, just go.

- Sit down.

- Stay.

Relax. We'll talk to you later.

I can't believe she's gonna let us

have the event at the country club

- after all that. That was madness.

- I know. I know.

Wow, there's nobody here.

- Is it always this quiet?

- Yeah, it's a ghost town.

I remember when my mom and dad

opened this place,

there were antique stores

up and down the street.

Now they're all tasting rooms.

- Oh. We're the enemy?

- Mm-hmm.

- Look out.

- Hi.

Crazy lady carrying blankets.

She's behind on her rent.

- She's cuckoo.

- Is she really?

I don't know how much longer

she can keep this place going.

You just gotta figure out

how to get some butts in this place.

How do you do that?

I have no idea how to sell antiques.

Well, then why don't we get them in here

some way you do know,

I don't know, like--

- oh.

- What? What oh?

Do something you know.

Do something

you love.

You are a genius.

Do something with Christmas.

- That is a great idea.

- Oh, heads up. Heads up. Oh.

- Oh. hi.

- Hi.

Oh, sorry. Hi.

I didn't know you guys were here.

Hey, do you need a hand?

No.

Okay, here we go.

That day they got to work on a plan

to grab the tourists' attention.

The new family came together

and chipped in

to make sure it was perfect.

Oh, I just love a man who's handy.

I built a birdhouse once

with my own two paws.

? It's Christmas time,

it's Christmas time again ?

? The stockings are hung

and the tree is trimmed ?

? The sounds of the season

are ringing on in ?

? it's Christmas time,

it's Christmas time again ?

? Well, me and my baby

by the mistletoe ?

? Boy, don't you know? ?

? She'll be so happy ?

? When Santa comes tonight ?

? it's Christmas time,

it's Christmas time again. ?

Go. Go.

- Here you go. Merry Christmas.

- You'd better go.

? A-one, two, three, four, one ?

? Silent night ?

? Holy night... ?

Well, they do have a certain

je-ne-sais-quoi.

? All is bright ?

? Round yon Virgin ?

? Mother and Child,

Holy Infant... ?

I know they're your friends,

but no. Uh-uh.

? So tender and mild... ?

- Wow.

- Oh no, he's coming at me.

? Sleep in heavenly peace... ?

Oh brother.

? Sleep in heavenly peace. ?

Well, at least we're getting

the worst out of the way first,

- I think.

- You think?

Ja. Hello. Testing.

Is the micro--

- No.

- Uh, no.

Go like this.

- No.

- No.

? Here comes the bride,

here comes the bride... ?

I didn't even know

that note existed.

? Jingle bells ?

? How I love you, oh ?

? Jingle bells ?

? How I need you... ?

- Make it stop. Make it stop.

- I can't breathe. Make it stop.

? On a one-horse

open sleigh ?

? Over the fields we-- ?

? Laughing all the way... ?

- Okay, that's it.

- .' Jingle bells... .'

Wait, they're gonna do a Journey medley.

Don't you want to hear that?

- Susan, come on. Honey, they're not--

- No. No, I'm done. That's it.

Having sampled the highlights

of the Los Olives indie music scene,

it was time to move on

to the next element

of the wedding.

And after her delightful picnic

with the Campbell girls,

Susan thought it might be

a good idea for her boys

to spend some time

with their new stepfather.

- Who's hungry for cake?

- I do, I do, I do.

I want to try

some cake, Whoo-hoo!

Do we have to?

Joshua Edward Davis,

get out of this car right now.

Okay, come on.

Wow. And you two

are staying in here

until we're ready to go.

And if you're good,

I'll get you a treat on the way back.

I had to admit, more

and more I was really liking this guy.

Ryan, don't you want to come

see some wedding cakes, honey?

Okay.

Let me handle this.

Hey, buddy.

So you're not so thrilled about

your mom and I getting engaged, huh?

I get it. I think my daughters

would agree with you.

And I know that you're

missing your dad. Right?

I want you to know

I miss someone a lot too.

Madison and Emma's mama

was a really special lady

and I miss her a lot.

I really do.

But your dad--

I'm not trying to replace him.

I couldn't.

It'd be impossible.

What I can do

is I can help him.

I can help him take care of you,

take care of your brothers

and help look after your mom

a little bit.

And one thing

I'll guarantee you

is that I won't leave you.

He said that too.

Hey.

What do you say,

let's go in and get some cake?

? Joy to the world,

the Lord is come... ?

Wow, it smells good

in here, right?

- Yeah.

- What do they have here?

- Ooh.

- Whoa.

Bakery.

Come on.

I think over here maybe.

What do you think?

My heart cries out for the piece

of fondant on display here.

- He is nine, isn't he?

- Yeah.

- Hi, folks. How are you?

- How can I help you?

Good. We're getting married.

Congratulations. Have you thought about

what kind of cake you might like?

Not really.

I mean, we're here.

It's about as far as we've gotten.
