Second Hand Wedding Page #6

Synopsis: A small film with a big heart, SECOND HAND WEDDING is a bittersweet dramatic comedy set in the present, in a time when trademe and e-bay threaten the primeval urge for a firsthand crack at the second-hand. Jill keeps the dream alive until she is forced to confront the habits of a lifetime and concede that no bargain is worth her daughter's happiness. Father of the bride, Brian, quips that Cheryl's upcoming wedding will be the first time anyone in the Rose family has given something away - and that's the crux of it.

- Oh.

Let me know how I can pay you.

- Thank you.

- Name your price.

Alright, bye.

How did we do?

It's more than enough.

I'm surprised more of my John Rowles records

didn't go.

Oh, there was some bloke who wanted to buy one,

but you were busy and I didn't know what to

charge.

Oh, he left his card.

Oh don't worry about that now.

We've got a wedding to organise.

Well you don't give up easily do you.

We certainly don't.

And you are?

The Mother of the Bride.

But I thought that.

You thought?

Well it seemed they weren't going to take the

booking, so I rented it to the Rotary Club for the

weekend.

Well that was a bit silly wasn't it. You're going to

have to unrent it.

Says who?

Says this document, this legally binding document,

which you signed.

But I've already taken their money.

Well that would be Y.P. and not M.P.

Well, this cheque had better be good.

Oh, it is.

Here we go.

Do you, Cheryl Mary Rose,

take Stewart Walter Davis to be your lawful

wedded husband?

I do.

And do you, Stewart Walter Davis,

take Cheryl Mary Rose to be your lawful wedded

wife?

Yeah, I do

Then, by the power vested in me,

I now pronounce you husband and wife.

You may kiss the bride.

Hello Mrs. Davis.

Hello Mr. Davis.

Wait...

Whatever happens in here,

know that I love you.

Well I love you too.

No, I mean about letting Mum organise the whole

reception.

Oh, that.

I'm sure it'll be fine.

Maybe we should just trust her.

Maybe we should.

It now falls upon me to kick start the formal part of

the evening...

...couldn't get a word out of 'em, he was so shy

his shadow sounded loquacious.

.. I'd like to thank the rest of my family, for making

the trip to be with us today,

thanks Rebecca, Daniel and Olivia.

And finally...

I'd like to say thank you to Cheryl,

for saying yes.

I love you Cheryl,

...thanks.

I'd like to thank Jane and Sugar Puff for...

all your help, you guys have been wonderful.

It was certainly some hen night.

And to Muffy for organising all the catering,

thank you so much.

And Charlie and Waz for making sure this boy got

here on time.

Oh, and,...to Martin, for helping to save Dad.

Dad...

Thank you so much for sticking around.

And for making such an effort to be here today,

because I can't imagine it,

... without you.

And finally, to Stew,

I don't know what to say, but...

I can't wait to spend my life with you...

I love you, very much.

Um, have I forgotten anyone?

Mum... I'm kidding.

Mum, I left you to last cause I didn't...

know if I was gonna make it through this.

There's not very many people here that know,

the sacrifices you've made to make today happen.

You are the best Mum, and this...

...is the best wedding that any girl could ever want,

gnomes and all.

I don't know how I ever doubted you.

Thanks folks we now like to play a special song,

for a very special couple.

for a very special couple.

Cheryl Moana Marie...

Back home she's waiting for me...

Cheryl Moana Marie...

There on the shore she waits, so patiently...

In a sleepy little town...

Where soft breezes blow...

There's a lovely little Maori Miss I used to know...

Someday I will find my way, and I'll return from over

the sea...

To where my lsland sweetheart, waits for me.

Cheryl Moana Marie...

Back home she's waiting for me.

Cheryl Moana Marie...

There on the shore she waits, so patiently...

Cheryl Moana Marie...

Someday our waiting will end...

Safe in my arms she will be...

My Cheryl... Moana... Marie.

Ah.

Would you like a cup of tea?

I'll get it.

You want one too?

No, I'll get it.

You, have done enough today.

Can I look at the paper?

Can I stop you?

Well, there's plenty of room out here now love.

Ha, ha, ha.

Well, I've got news for you..

there's three Garage Sales down the road

tomorrow.

What time?

I love your work, it's fantastic.

- His work is clearly a searing indictment on our

captialist consumer society.

- Hmm.

He's saying everything's for sale.

Even ironically, the signs that sell.

Don't you think, he's so brave.

I'm thinking of buying this piece.

You should. You definitely should.

He's only asking $20,000.

It's a bargain.

It's an absolute bargain.
