Rachel Getting Married Page #2

- I'm okay.

- Thank you. Excuse me.

- Anyway, I'm in from Hawaii.

This is my first time at this meeting.

Thank you.

- Welcome.

- Go right ahead.

- I'm Steve. I'm an addict.

- Hi, Steve.

- Hi, Steve.

- Hey. This is my...

My first meeting, actually,

so I'm a little bit...

Hey. Thanks for coming, Steve.

"One. We admitted that we are powerless

over our addiction,

"that our lives had become unmanageable.

"Two. We came to believe that

a power greater than ourselves... "

And whatever happened to me,

it took me away.

It just gave me hope for one more day.

And that's how I live, one day at a time.

You see, yesterday is gone

and tomorrow is not here.

The only thing I can do is what I can do

today to make tomorrow different.

There was a point, man,

where I thought I could do one more,

take another drink.

But it always end up the same.

You know, one was too many

and a thousand was never enough.

I got tired of starting from

square one again, man.

You know everything that I built up with

my family, everything that I built up...

You know, and people helping me

and providing for me...

You know, you relapse,

you got to start all over again.

And, man, I got tired of

starting over again.

You know, it was dramatic.

You know, there's a lot of, you know...

It's ups and downs

and it's crazy, and then...

And just recently,

there's something, you know...

I can feel myself almost, like,

missing the drama sometimes. Like, I'm...

It gets so boring sometimes.

You know I used to say I'm not an addict.

And it took me years to say I was an addict.

Then I spent years, like...

That's all I was.

You know? I was just an addict.

If you could just, kind of, accept it as

a fact, just one fact among many.

- That I can be that and other things.

- That's right.

Things that are going to build you up

in the journey that you're on.

All of us have felt that way at some time.

But I want to encourage you.

You're doing well.

God, grant me the serenity

to accept the things I cannot change,

the courage to change the things I can

and the wisdom to know the difference.

And it says keep coming back,

'cause it works, if you work it.

Well, thanks a lot. I'll see you next time.

Kymmie! Carol, she's here.

Kymmie! I got a sandwich for you, darling.

It's meat loaf.

- Hi, dear.

- Hey.

- Quite a ride, huh?

- Yep.

- Meat loaf.

- Look at that.

- Yeah.

- Yummy.

- Okay.

- Wow. Thank you.

- You're welcome.

- That's big.

I'm so glad you're here, darling.

I'm so glad you're back.

- Did you think I wasn't coming back?

- No.

- I'll take Bill's bike.

- Kymberly!

- Hey!

- Come meet Sidney.

- This is my betrothed, Sidney Williams.

- Hi.

- Hello.

- Hi.

And this is best man, Kieran.

- Hey.

- Hi, there.

- How are you?

- Good.

- How's your knee?

- Shut up.

You want meat loaf? My dad made meat loaf.

- Nice to see you.

- Nice to see you.

I think that we have started

a new tradition.

- That's what I think, yeah.

- Yeah. What's that?

I think it's the best man

and the maid of honor

sneaking off to get it on,

while the rest of the wedding party?

Very happily

and furiously plans for the big event.

But I thought...

I thought that was Emma's role.

What?

The maid of honor.

I mean, I heard that that was the plan.

I'm sure it is.

- I might be wrong.

- No.

Do you love it?

I mean, the lilac's fabulous, Emma.

She looks like a freesia.

Isn't it beautiful?

We should just cover your tattoo.

What?

Nothing, nothing.

I just really like the gray.

Of course you do.

We're all wearing lilac.

It's coordinated. It's a wedding.

Okay, well, this is in the color scheme,

and it looks like a cloud.

- It's fantastic.

- Exactly.

- You know how I am. I don't wear lilac.

- It's good to have a principle.

What? You wore a lilac sweater

with a cat face on the front of it

on the cover of Seventeen magazine...

- That was so cute!

... when I was at fat camp.

Yeah, they paid me,

and I was on horse tranquillizer, so...

You look good. Seriously.

Why is Emma the maid of honor?

Why am I not the maid of honor?

Because.

What does that mean?

Because I wasn't entirely sure when

you were coming or if you'd even make it.

What? I wasn't sure

if you'd have time for a fitting...

Bullshit. It's a sari.

You take a bolt of cloth and you wrap it

around yourself a bunch of times.

Jesus Christ, I've been home for a day.

I can't get a straight answer

out of anybody.

What are you talking about?

I'm talking about Dad offering me food

every two seconds.

You know, Dad offers

Irish hunger strikers food.

No. You know, it's not even about the food.

He has to know exactly where I am

at all times because he's never

resolved his own trust issues.

- That's odd.

- You know what? Shut the f*** up!

- Blow me!

- Okay.

- Leave Dad alone.

- I'd love to. I want to, okay?

He won't let me. I just...

I can feel him watching me all the time.

And Carol, and you guys, too.

Because we have nothing better

to think about.

You know, everyone in the house is

looking at me like I'm a visiting sociopath.

I mean, seriously, what do you expect

me to do, burn the house down?

That was a mattress fire. That was

not even at home. It was at a sleepover.

Okay, you know what? Fine.

F*** you both. You win.

I'm going to get "hazmat" tattooed

across my forehead for you people.

- Will that make you happy?

- God, you're like a harpy!

Okay, is being my maid of honor

that important to you?

Because I didn't think you gave a sh*t.

I'm sorry.

How could you f***ing say that to me?

Jesus. Emma.

Emma, would you be horribly offended

and hurt

if I asked you step down as maid of honor?

For her? What?

Rachel, are you serious?

Is this what you want?

- Okay, fine. Fine.

- Not really.

You can have it. The crown is yours.

First runner-up.

Thank you, Emma, thank you.

- You know what?

- Everything is not about you, Kym.

No, it's not about me.

It's about sisterhood.

You're such a paragon of sisterhood.

Hooray for sisterhood!

You know what? Sisterhood conquers all.

You know, I can really see rehab

has done wonders for you, Kym.

F*** you.

Cousin Joe, on leave, from Iraq.

I almost forgot him!

Come on and say...

- Rachel, Rachel, Rachel, Rachel

- Rachel, Rachel, Rachel, Rachel

- Sidney, Sidney, Sidney, Sidney

- Sidney, Sidney, Sidney, Sidney

- Rachel, Rachel

- Sidney, Sidney

- Rachel

- Sidney

You know I tapped her on the shoulder.

I was like,

"How you doing? My name's Dorian.

I'd, you know, like to talk to you. "

And she was like, "Good to meet you.

Excuse me. Can you move over?

"There's a beautiful guy

standing right behind you. "

And it was Sid.

Dorian!

We've gotjoy like a fountain

We've gotjoy in our soul

Thank you guys for bringing us here.

Such a wonderful occasion to be here

and be back amongst family and friends.

You know, Paul, you've been such

a great friend of mine over the years.

It seems like yesterday when I met you.
