The Bachelor Page #8

Synopsis: Jimmie is seeing his single friends get married one by one. He isn't too worried until his girlfriend Anne catches the bouquet at his friend Marco's wedding. Suddenly, his wild mustang days are numbered. He finally decides to propose to her, but he sticks his foot in his mouth and botches the proposal. Being insulted by the defeatist proposal, Anne leaves town on an assignment. After she's gone, he finds out that his recently-deceased grandfather's will stipulates that he gets nothing of a multi-million dollar fortune unless he's married by 6:05pm on his 30th birthday: tomorrow! Not being able to find Anne, Jimmie begins backtracking through his past girlfriends to find a wife.

I just want to be with you.

oh, my God.

Now that was a proposal.

We gotta go. We gotta go.

Father! Stay with him!

We'll get Anne! Come on, Roy!

Yeah, leave it

to Abbott and Costello!

Where'd you get this?

Some preppy girl threw it over the

staircase and ran off with another girl.

Eleven minutes to spare.

Not bad, huh?

What do you mean?

Where's Anne?

With Natalie, changing.

You look stunning.

I do?

Yeah, okay,

maybe you're right. I do.

Missing you already.

Come on!

Where's Jimmie?

Get back here!

Take it like a man!

Come on!

Jiminy Christmas!

- Where's the priest?

- You lost the priest?

Move it, fat boy!

Move away from the vehicle.

Excuse me.

Dearly beloved,

we are gathered today...

to join two people

in holy matrimony.

If you can hear this,

give us a nod.

Good.

Anne.

Is Anne out there?

I can't see her!

I'm right here, Father!

We are gathered here in the sight of

God and the presence of this company...

to join Jimmie and Anne

in holy matrimony.

The union of husband and...

Never mind.

Do you take this Anne

to have and to hold?

For richer, for poorer?

In sickness and in health,

forsaking all others...

as long as you both shall live?

I do.

I do!

I thought you would.

Do you take this Jimmie

to have and to hold?

For better or for worse?

For richer, for poorer?

In sickness and in health,

forsaking all others...

- Excuse me.

- for as long as you both shall live?

I do!

I do.

- Anne, I can't hear you!

- I do!

Shut up!

oh, my gosh.

How beautiful.

oh, how beautiful.

Listen, can I talk to you

for just a second?

I've been proposed to

really badly a lot...

and then proposed to...

pretty great, actually.

And, well, Jimmie...

he's not perfect...

but I love him.

And, well, he loves me.

So I think that

he should be my husband.

There's my cake.

So could this...

Could this please be my day?

And now, by the power

vested in me by God...

I pronounce you husband and wife.

Cake for everybody!

Who wants cake?

Here you go, sweetheart.

Have some cake.

There we go. Here we go.

Here you go, sweetheart.

Have some cake.

Throw the bouquet!

Throw the bouquet!

Throw it!
