Pork medallions

with roasted Brussels sprouts

and kale.

And veal meatloaf with

braised heirloom tomatoes.

So you decided against

using your "Clarissa's"

restaurant menu?

Uh...

Actually, this is, uh,

this is

more "Clarissa's"

than anything I've done

in a long time.

We're grateful

no matter what you make.

Maybe I should've stuck

with what I was doing before,

but, um, just wasn't

exciting me anymore.

Hope you're not

too disappointed.

Don't apologize.

The food is amazing.

We're not disappointed.

Uh, I'm sorry.

It looks great.

I'm terrible.

No, you're just terrible

at not being rich.

[laughs]

You know what?

In 20 years,

we're gonna look back

on this wedding

and be glad

it was small

and just about us.

We're just getting

the "poorer" part

of the vows

out of the way.

Oh, no. The vows!

We haven't written them yet.

I thought

we were just gonna do

the regular ones

everyone else does.

No, we talked about this,

remember?

[James]:
When?

[Amy]:
Can I just keep

one dream alive?

You mean aside from

living happily ever after?

Yeah, that too.

Mm-hmm.

I have an idea.

[]

[Nick]:
Yeah, my dad said

you could do

whatever you wanted with them,

so, your call.

What are you guys

talking about?

These letters

that Nick's mom and dad

wrote to each other.

I thought maybe

they'd inspire you

for your vows.

"My lovely Clarissa--

"I never knew

what love really meant

"until the moment we met...

"and then everything

became clear to me.

"Every moment of my life,

"every decision I ever made,

"led up to this--

"to meeting you,

"to our future.

"You inspire me more than

I ever thought possible.

"I want to hold your hand

through it all,

for the rest of our lives."

"You bring out a side of me

I didn't know I had.

You challenge me.

You make me better."

"Love was just a word

until I found you."

"I will search no more

because,

"with you by my side...

...I'm home."

Sounds a little

schmaltzy to me,

to be honest.

[James]:
Yeah. I don't think

I could say that

without laughing.

You were right.

Let's go old-school.

Yeah.

Yeah... bad idea.

Uh, sorry.

Okay, well,

let's get back to work.

Um... right.

So, if you...

start wrapping these,

I can get to work on your dress.

I still have

half the bodice to go.

How about a bachelorette party

for two?

Well, we could order pizza

and hang out while I sew.

Just like when you first

moved to New York.

Except with better wine.

So if they're doing that,

does that mean

I get a bachelor party?

I don't know.

What did you have in mind?

Not like there's a lot

of options around here.

Uh, I'd be happy

playing video games

and slaying

a plate of nachos.

Yeah, I can arrange that.

Hey, guys?

See you later.

[both]:
Bye!

Have fun!

Who, whoa, whoa, stop!

You can't cut in front of me

like that.

Go around the back.

Come to the finish line...

[overlapping]:
Cheers!

[Brooke Tuner's

"Life of the Party" plays]

...Got nothing wrong

with right now

Whoa-oh-oh-oh

Hey, hey, look at me

Whoa-oh-oh-oh

I'm gonna count to three

Whoa-oh-oh-oh

Let's all go crazy

Whoa-oh-oh

Life of the party...

No, no, no, no!

You guys thirsty?

Yeah, thanks,

Charlie.

Here you go.

Thanks, Dad.

There you go.

[Charlie clears his throat]

You wanna give it a shot?

You wanna play?

Aw, no, no.

Thanks for asking, but, uh,

I can hardly use a cell phone,

let alone

a gadget like that.

I'm gonna get

some more nachos.

'Kay.

You guys good?

Yeah, I'm good,

thank you.

Listen, Dad, uh...

Since you're here, um...

[exhales]

I wanted to tell you

that I, uh...

I read the letters.

And, uh...

I wish

that I'd have read 'em sooner,

'cause I feel like...

I get the feeling

that I would've understood

a bit better, you know?

It wasn't your job

to understand.

You lost someone you loved

as much as I did.

I'm just...

[voice breaks]:

I'm sorry I wasn't there to...

help you through it.

I ask Clarissa

for her forgiveness

every night...

Now I'm asking for yours.

Yeah.

[Sobs softly]

I missed you, kid.

I missed you too, Dad.

[Both sniffling]

[both exhaling

and clearing throats]

Yeah, I guess

I got pretty sappy

with those

letters, huh?

[chuckles]

Yeah, a little bit.

You wanna try it?

Come on.

Sit with me. Play.

I don't know

if I can.

Oh, come on.

You can do it.

We'll do it together,

all right?

Can you show me

how to hold it?

That's steering,

that's gas,

that's brake.

There's the screen.

Ready? Go!

You're the blue guy.

It's done.

Oh, Molly!

It's beautiful!

I love it!

-Me too.

-Oh!

Heck, I'd wear it

if I were getting married.

Oh?

Not that I would,

but, you know, if.

Whatever.

[James]:
These are the best

pancakes I've ever had, man.

Thank you.

Morning!

Hey, Charlie.

Good morning, Dad.

[chuckles]

I'm making Mom's

banana-blueberry pancakes.

Want some?

Yeah! Yeah.

[laughs]

All right.

Well, here.

Take mine.

I'm, uh...

I'm proud of you, son.

I know Mom is, too.

Hey.

No tears until tonight.

Why am I gonna cry tonight?

Have you met Amy's mother?

[laughing]

Good morning!

Hey.

What's so funny?

Nothing.

You guys want some pancakes?

Do you even have to ask?

Okay, go. Go, sit.

[Amy]:
Looks like

a beautiful morning.

[Molly]:

I love this breakfast room.

[Charlie]:
Me too.

[Molly]:
It's such great light.

This is so good.

[Amy]:
Wow.

[James]:
My parents

are going to love this place.

[Amy]:
I just hope

my mom and dad

can find it on time.

[Molly]:

Oh, the rehearsal dinner--

it's going to look

so pretty out there.

[Nick]:
Okay, everyone,

here we are.

[Molly]:
Oh, my gosh.

It's going to be perfect.

Here we go, ladies.

Bon apptit.

Thank you.

[]

[Molly]:
These are amazing!

You know,

your mom used to do that.

Watch people eat.

I never knew why.

I think I do.

[]

Yeah.

[Molly]:
I'd get married here

in a second.

Me too.

Hypothetically.

Of course.

[Amy]:
Can we take a look now?

I'm dying!

Yeah! Yeah. Come in.

It's ready.

[James]:
Oh, wow. I can't

believe this is the same barn.

Oh, Molly...

I know it's not

what you had planned

in the city, but--

Stop.

It is beautiful.

[chuckles]

[]

All right, everyone,

welcome.

In honor of my best friend,

James,

and his lovely bride, Amy,

and their wonderful parents,

who are joining us

for rehearsal dinner,

I have prepared my mom's

favorite fried chicken

with a Nick Turner twist.

It's a Sriracha brine

served on a rosemary-infused

buttermilk waffle

and it has a paprika crema

with it,

so please enjoy.

Ah.

And, for you...

special order.

Macaroni and cheese?

As promised.

All right.

You seem to be

taking this rather well, sir.

There's a certain freedom

in charting a new course.

It reminds me of when

I just started out.

Meanwhile, my diamonds

are in the display window

at 3rd Street

Pawn and Loan.

We'll be okay,

Diane.

I know.

You do?

Yeah,

we did it once,

we can

do it again.

I think this is

a good time for a toast.
