The Good Witch's Gift Page #6

me back, I'm afraid...

Well, I didn't come for that.

I was wondering if you had

those colour swatches that you showed me.

I might.

I was ordering table cloths,

and there was this one shade of ivory...

Oh, yes, here it is.

Yes!

What on Earth is this?

My ring!

How did it get in there?

Well, what matters is you

found it, Martha thank you!

Heavens that day in your shop.

I emptied my purse on your counter

and after I swept everything up again

I must have...

I feel just terrible!

You're not... angry?

Of course not.

I suppose I shouldn't

have quit on you like that.

Leaving you high and dry

at the very last minute? Oh,

I had such an extraordinary event

planned for the two of you.

I know!

That's why I recommended

you to a wealthy client

who's getting married in the spring.

You did?

You have such energy,

Martha, and enthusiasm.

You're bursting with creative ideas!

And I think the job pays well, too.

What a lovely, unexpected gesture.

Why unexpected?

Well, for you to think

of me after all that I...

Well, it is the season where

we think of others first,

don't we?

I don't know what to say!

I know you and the Mayor have

other plans for Christmas Eve.

But the invitation is still open.

After all that I've done?

Ah, but there's so much

more to do, isn't there?

Well, if your plans change...

we'd love to see you there.

Merry Christmas, Martha.

And to you.

Brandon!

Cassie found her ring.

That's good.

So now you must feel just great.

Pretty good.

Not great.

Why not?

I went to see Jodi behind your back.

Maybe I should have just told

you what was bothering me.

That's what big brothers are for, right?

You're more than my brother, right?

You're my friend.

Aren't you?

Yeah.

Yeah, I am.

Maybe I didn't act like one, though.

Sorry.

Official wedding photographer,

reporting for duty.

Look at you!

Wow!

- Here you go.

- Thanks.

Where's Jodi?

I'm going to go get her.

I hope she has a good time tonight.

- Christmas is never much fun for her.

- Hmm.

Never say never.

- Where are you going?

- Oh, down to the shop.

Don't you have a wedding to get to?

Yeah, I forgot my sage.

Jodi and I could get it for you.

- Would you?

- Yeah, it's on the way.

Oh, thanks!

Alright, just a small bunch of dried sage.

I want to burn a little

before the ceremony.

Clear the air.

Make way for new beginnings.

Here you go.

Okay.

Cassie?

About your cake...

I am so sorry.

Um, it was in the back of my van,

and unfortunately, so was

my neighbour's dachshund...

Oh, no!

Yeah! This tiny dog ate the entire thing!

Now I am trying to get you another one,

but I am totally sold out.

And every other bakery from

here to the state capitol

closed at noon.

Betty, put it out of your mind.

You get back to all the

other items on your menu.

But it's your wedding cake!

What'll we do?!

Well, the first thing to realize is that...

baking is about mixing

together the right ingredients.

I have no idea what you're saying.

Then look at it this way:

you just brought great joy

to a dachshund this Christmas.

Hello?

Hello, George?

Um, do you have cake mix?

I'll have to check... why?

Well, I need a wedding cake for 35 guests

in, um... two hours.

Uh, George?

I'm here, uh...

A little shocked, but I'm still standing.

Maybe Lori could help

you move things along?

I'm counting on you two.

Okay...

Great.

Do you know how to tie one of these?

George?

Are you there?

Was that Cassie?

Yeah. Yeah, it was.

What does she want?

A miracle.

Derek?

Chief, I found Leon's car.

But I can't find him!

Okay, stay on Main Street,

stay with the car.

As long as you have the

car, he's not going anywhere.

You got it?

Copy that, Jake.

No cake mix?

Even if we had all the ingredients,

there's not enough time.

Hey, I know it looks impossible,

but don't forget you've got

George "Never Say Die"

O'Hanrahan in your corner!

So, what are you going to do?

Beats me.

Derek?

Yeah, hi.

How are you?

Really?

You don't have any other way to...

No?

No, it's not your fault, no.

Merry Christmas.

I hate to ask.

That was the minister.

His car broke down, he has

no other way to get here.

Maybe Derek could shoot

up there in the squad car?

No, Derek's on duty.

Even if he could drive 100 miles an hour,

it's a round trip he'd

still never make it on time.

Well, ask people to wait.

Maybe we can serve them these cookies.

Oh, honey, we can't do that to

people. Not on Christmas Eve.

What good is a marriage license

if we don't have a

minister to tie the knot?

Robert Kowalski and Teresa Quinn?

- Who?

- Who?

The names on your wedding license.

Well, they must have

given me the wrong one!

I've been so busy, I didn't

even bother to open it!

Jake...

That's it.

The wedding's off.

No, it can't be!

I'll have to speak to Cassie.

Do you know this would be the first promise

I've ever broken to her?

Only be a minute.

Oh, no problem.

She said a small bunch of dried sage.

Hanging from the ceilings.

Um, don't most people

usually hang mistletoe?

Cassie says it makes

way for new beginnings.

I wish my family could

make a new beginning.

What do you mean?

You're so lucky to have your

family and a dad like Jake.

I used to.

When I was little, ten years ago.

You remember that far back?

Like it was yesterday.

Me and my dad laughing...

I'd stand on his shoes and

he'd waltz me around the room.

I keep those memories up here.

Locked away like treasure.

I take them out at

night before I go to bed,

and that's why I remember him so well.

Do you want to go to the party now?

Sure.

Cassie...

Jake, don't you know it's

bad luck to see the bride

before the wedding?

I know.

Honey...

we can't get married.

Greetings!

Martha, Tom, so glad you made it.

There's something I have to tell you.

We've run into some

roadblocks and I'm afraid...

Ah, yes. The wedding.

Wh... what's this?

I got a call from my friend

at the county office about

a mix-up, so Martha and I ran

over and straightened it out.

Our wedding license!

They want to know if by any chance

they gave you a different license?

Cause there is a very

anxious couple named Kowalski

in Lakeville who want to get married

two days after Christmas.

Well, we can send it with the

minister after our ceremony.

Uh,

the minister can't make it.

Why?

Car trouble.

So, even if we have this license,

I don't see...

Well, you don't, but I do.

I'll get someone to marry you!

In the next five minutes?

My dear, I happen to have...

connections.

- Me?

- Yes, you!

By the power vested in

you, etcetera, etcetera!

Why not?

Well, it's been a while.

Well, Mayor...

You can take those.

I know what I want to say.

Martha, thank you.

Thank you for everything!

Everything?

Whatever do you mean?

Well, you got us our license,

our officiate,

and the venue.

Do you remember when you told

me that the Heritage Society

was winding down for the holidays?

You really are a great

wedding planner, Martha!
