00:00:00It's time for bridal boot camp.
00:00:05Brooke, it's so early.
00:00:06Come on.
00:00:07Okay, just give me a sec, okay?
00:00:08Let's go.
00:00:09Come on, come on, come on.
00:00:10So as soon as James finishes the Clayton case,
00:00:11we're gonna leave for our honeymoon.
00:00:12I can't believe I let you talk me into this.
00:00:13I didn't think we'd have to start so early.
00:00:14I was at a wedding till three in the morning.
00:00:15Oh my God, speaking of weddings,
00:00:16you're not gonna believe what happened.
00:00:17What?
00:00:18Wendy and Kevin got married.
00:00:19What?
00:00:20I don't know.
00:00:21I don't know.
00:00:22I don't know.
00:00:23I don't know.
00:00:24I don't know.
00:00:25I don't know.
00:00:26I don't know.
00:00:27I don't know.
00:00:28I don't know.
00:00:29I don't know.
00:00:30I don't know.
00:00:31I don't know.
00:00:32I don't know.
00:00:33I don't know.
00:00:34I don't know.
00:00:35What's going on?
00:00:36I don't know.
00:00:37Wendy and Kevin got engaged.
00:00:38When?
00:00:39Yesterday, apparently.
00:00:40I mean he took her for this walk in the woods
00:00:41and proposed next to an old stone church.
00:00:42How cute is that?
00:00:43It's very cute but I just can't help but think
00:00:44I'm now the only one in our graduating class
00:00:45who's not married.
00:00:46What?
00:00:47Am I doing something wrong?
00:00:48I don't think you're doing anything wrong.
00:00:49I just think that you tend to pick these guys
00:00:52that are not looking to settle down.
00:00:56Okay, but I don't know that when I meet them.
00:00:58Well, there are always red flags.
00:01:00Like, you know a guy doesn't want to be serious
00:01:01if he doesn't have a real job,
00:01:03or if he still lives at home with his parents.
00:01:05Okay, what's a real job?
00:01:07One that doesn't involve bartending, playing guitar,
00:01:09or being a wedding photographer.
00:01:11Oh, that's funny.
00:01:12Look, you know a guy is ready for a commitment
00:01:14if he brings up subjects like marriage and children,
00:01:17or is honest and open about his day-to-day activities,
00:01:21and gives you jewelry.
00:01:23He will focus his entire attention on you, period.
00:01:28No excuses.
00:01:48Rose's turn.
00:01:49Hi honey.
00:01:51Hey, Nana.
00:01:52Oh, I'm here at the clinic.
00:01:53Get well, okay, but I'll be back soon so how's it going there?
00:02:00Great, just finishing up the Chase Kelly wedding.
00:02:02Fantastic. So how'd your date go last night?
00:02:07Anna, it wasn't a date, we just went for coffee.
00:02:10And?
00:02:11And, you know, he was nice, but there wasn't really any spark.
00:02:15Well, honey, now you've got to give him another chance because he's a family man,
00:02:19he's solid, dependable, and he gives a lot of time doing volunteer charity work.
00:02:25Nana, he's a divorced car salesman and he wouldn't even pay for my coffee.
00:02:30Oh.
00:02:31Well, and anyway, I told you, no more fix-ups. They never work.
00:02:35Oh, just got to give it time, darling. I'm going to find someone for you.
00:02:39No, you don't need to find anyone for me, okay?
00:02:41Bye-bye, darling.
00:02:42Bye.
00:02:45A wheelchair?
00:02:46No, no problem.
00:02:48These are for Mrs. Sullivan.
00:02:50Those are beautiful.
00:02:52Syringa vulgaris, uh, eustoma grandiflorum, and pionia lactiflora.
00:03:00Oh, you know their Latin names?
00:03:03I was a botany major before I went to med school.
00:03:06I'm Dr. Cooper.
00:03:08Rose Germ. It's a pleasure.
00:03:11For me too, Rose.
00:03:13So, uh, so tell me, doctor, how long have you and your wife been living here in Willowfield?
00:03:20No, I'm not married.
00:03:23Oh.
00:03:26I tell you that he is the one. He's a doctor.
00:03:30He's charming. He knows all about flowers.
00:03:34And he wants to meet you.
00:03:35No, he doesn't want to meet me. He was just being polite.
00:03:37No, I showed him your picture and he was not being polite. He thinks you're gorgeous.
00:03:42Stop trying to marry me off.
00:03:44But you are going to make such a beautiful bride.
00:03:46Your mother would agree.
00:03:48I know you're trying to help, Nana.
00:03:50I just don't want you to miss out on life's greatest joy.
00:03:53As the saying goes, there's one happiness, to love and to be loved.
00:03:57Yes, but love isn't like buying a car or getting an apartment.
00:04:01No, it's not like that. It's like flower arranging.
00:04:05Sometimes you just know which flowers go together, complement each other.
00:04:11Nana, I'm going to meet someone.
00:04:13The best place to meet someone is at a wedding, and no one does more weddings than we do.
00:04:27You have got to start pre-screening guys before you date them.
00:04:30Okay, when you first meet a guy, evaluate him for red flags.
00:04:33And if he has more than two, don't go on the first date with him.
00:04:36You know, just nip it in the bud.
00:04:38In the bud.
00:04:39You're not wasting valuable time on a guy who doesn't even want to get married in the first place.
00:04:43What are you girls talking about?
00:04:45Some article that Brooke read in a magazine.
00:04:48This is all very romantic to me.
00:04:50Exactly my point, Evangeline.
00:04:52You girls.
00:04:54Okay, you just need to start thinking of dating as more like a job interview.
00:04:58Okay, and less like some sort of...
00:05:00Falling in love?
00:05:01No.
00:05:03I'm just saying, try to meet someone who wants the same thing that you want.
00:05:07That's all.
00:05:08I don't even know what I want.
00:05:09You know exactly what you want.
00:05:11A big, white, beautiful wedding.
00:05:13With a Cinderella dress, and enough flowers to make the rose parade look like our eighth grade graduation.
00:05:19I mean, I do so many weddings. I always thought I would just elope.
00:05:22You don't want to elope.
00:05:24You want to meet your prince charming, get married, and most importantly, you want me to be the maid of honor.
00:05:29You promised me.
00:05:31Of course.
00:05:39You'll be fine.
00:05:44Brooke, you look so amazing.
00:05:46Oh, thank you, Tabitha.
00:05:48Thank you.
00:05:49You're welcome.
00:05:50You look incredible.
00:05:51Are you so excited?
00:05:52I am. I'm really excited.
00:05:54I mean, this is just like a dream come true.
00:05:57I'm so happy.
00:05:59So Laura, could you make my wedding just as magical as this one?
00:06:02Absolutely.
00:06:04Well, not just as magical. Come on.
00:06:06Thank you.
00:06:08Okay, can I just see that ring one more time?
00:06:10Yes, please.
00:06:11Because it is so fabulous.
00:06:12I mean, if you must.
00:06:13Wow.
00:06:15That's amazing. You must have been so surprised.
00:06:17Yeah, I was.
00:06:19I was starting to think I was going to get old by myself waiting for my prince who wouldn't come.
00:06:22You know what I mean?
00:06:27James, you may now place the ring on Brooke's finger.
00:06:37Brooke, you may now place the ring on James' finger.
00:06:50And I now pronounce you husband and wife.
00:06:54Husband and wife.
00:07:05You know those saws they sell that have paintings on them?
00:07:08You know, like Cabin in the Woods, Bears by a River, that kind of thing?
00:07:11That's what I do.
00:07:13I paint saws.
00:07:14Wow, that's so interesting.
00:07:16I love kids.
00:07:18Which is a good thing because I've been crashing with my sister and her four kids for a while.
00:07:22I'm trying to save up for a new motorcycle.
00:07:25Awesome.
00:07:27Yeah, sure, being an investment banker is tough.
00:07:30But, you know, that's why I got the second home by the lake.
00:07:33Get away from all the stress.
00:07:35That sounds lovely.
00:07:39Okay, are you guys ready for the bouquet toss?
00:07:53Sorry!
00:07:55She was just a little bit faster than I was.
00:07:57I almost had it.
00:07:59So close.
00:08:02Big morning, sweetie.
00:08:04So, you didn't meet anybody at Brooke's wedding, huh?
00:08:10Well, you look a lot more nice, young man, in Willowfield.
00:08:14Okay, Nana, maybe we could just talk about something else this morning,
00:08:17like current events or the weather.
00:08:20Oh, what about that doctor who wanted to meet you?
00:08:23Maybe we could give him a call, see if he wants to get together?
00:08:26I will meet someone when the time is right.
00:08:28The time is now.
00:08:30Maybe we could take a vacation to one of those island resorts with all the single men?
00:08:35Where people smell like coconut oil in desperation?
00:08:38No, thank you.
00:08:39The internet.
00:08:40I know at least five happily married couples who met online.
00:08:44No, no way.
00:08:45Nana, this is not how the great loves met.
00:08:48Antony and Cleopatra were not set up on a blind date,
00:08:51and Romeo and Juliet didn't go on some silly singles cruise together.
00:08:55No, they met each other and they knew this is the person
00:08:58they were going to spend the rest of their lives with.
00:09:01Sweetie, you are overlooking the fact that these are not real people.
00:09:04They're characters in a book.
00:09:06No.
00:09:07Maybe I read too many books.
00:09:09Maybe so.
00:09:10Maybe so.
00:09:18Maybe so.
00:09:34Yes, absolutely.
00:09:35We will have the flowers there by noon as promised.
00:09:38Okay, thank you.
00:09:39I'm so excited.
00:09:40Your wedding is going to be fantastic.
00:09:42Thanks, Laurel.
00:09:43Okay, we will see you on Saturday.
00:09:44Okay.
00:09:45Bye-bye.
00:09:46Good morning.
00:09:47How can I help you?
00:09:48By chance, do you have a grandmother named Rose?
00:09:50Yes, I do.
00:09:52You're even more beautiful in person.
00:09:54By the way, I'm Dr. Cooper.
00:09:57Evan.
00:09:58Laurel.
00:09:59Haverford.
00:10:00She promised me her granddaughter would be calling me.
00:10:03I'm sorry about that.
00:10:04My grandma's a little obsessed with finding me a man.
00:10:07Well, maybe she has.
00:10:10I just knew you two would hit it off.
00:10:13I just knew it.
00:10:14He was lovely.
00:10:15You were right.
00:10:16What three favorite words did the English language next to,
00:10:20I love you?
00:10:21Okay, Nana, don't get too excited, though.
00:10:23He said he would call and that maybe we'd go for coffee.
00:10:26Besides, I need to focus on the wedding.
00:10:28Yeah, I got it.
00:10:29Thanks.
00:10:30Yeah.
00:10:31That's it.
00:10:32Like that.
00:10:34Hey, man, we're all set.
00:10:35They have no idea.
00:10:36Great.
00:10:37Sarah, I need you.
00:10:38Got it.
00:10:40Laurel, always making sure that everyone else's wedding
00:10:43is unforgettably beautiful.
00:10:45Well, I love what I do.
00:10:47Maybe real happiness will come soon,
00:10:49and you'll be standing right there exchanging wedding vows
00:10:52with that special someone.
00:10:53Well, I have to find him first, Pastor.
00:10:56Maybe he'll find you.
00:10:57I don't know.
00:10:58Maybe he'll find you.
00:11:00I have to find him first, Pastor.
00:11:02Maybe he'll find you.
00:11:12So, uh, do you happen to know where the best man is?
00:11:15He's over there.
00:11:17Great, thank you.
00:11:25Excuse me.
00:11:26Are you the best man?
00:11:30Which brings us to the question, how does a love story begin?
00:11:34Now, in the case of the bride and groom,
00:11:36we have conflicting reports.
00:11:38According to him, it was love at first sight.
00:11:41He looked up, and there she was,
00:11:43the girl he knew he would marry.
00:11:46Naturally, she was seeing someone else.
00:11:48She didn't even remember sitting next to him at Peter's barbecue,
00:11:50even though he managed to somehow set himself on fire
00:11:53by passing too close to a tiki torch.
00:11:55Oh, no.
00:11:57It's the wedding toast.
00:11:59It's supposed to be funny, right?
00:12:00Or should I be more serious?
00:12:01No, I think you should start off funny and end on a serious note.
00:12:05That's exactly what I was thinking.
00:12:09So, what happened to your friend?
00:12:11The one with the tiki torches?
00:12:13Oh, he was fine.
00:12:14I threw my margarita on him.
00:12:16You know, I think it would be funnier if it was a pina colada.
00:12:19Oh, pina colada, that's good.
00:12:22I should have you edit my next book.
00:12:24You're a writer?
00:12:25Yeah.
00:12:26You wouldn't have heard of me, though.
00:12:28Stephen Banks.
00:12:29Laurel Haverford.
00:12:31It's a pleasure.
00:12:34I got your boot in here.
00:12:35Ah, yeah.
00:12:37God, I'm terrible at those things.
00:12:39Always end up pricking my fingers.
00:12:41I don't suppose you could...
00:12:42Sure.
00:12:43Thanks.
00:12:46You have a lovely town here.
00:12:48Lakes, the hills.
00:12:50Reminds me of the English countryside.
00:12:52You're not from here?
00:12:53No, no, I'm from Cedarbrook.
00:12:55Oh, no. Are you okay?
00:12:57Yeah, yeah, I'm fine.
00:12:58I'll just finish here.
00:13:01So, are you with Stephanie or Bill?
00:13:03Neither.
00:13:05I'm just the flower girl.
00:13:07Never say you're just anything.
00:13:09I mean, these aren't just flowers.
00:13:11It's the works of art.
00:13:13Thanks.
00:13:16I better get back to work.
00:13:17It was great meeting you.
00:13:19You too.
00:13:22Maybe we can see each other later?
00:13:23Yeah.
00:13:24Okay.
00:13:28Pretty girl.
00:13:31Should I be jealous?
00:13:33I don't know.
00:13:35Should you?
00:13:37You are impossible.
00:13:40She didn't even remember sitting next to him at Peter's barbecue.
00:13:43Even though he managed to actually set himself on fire by passing too close to a tee.
00:13:52Luckily, I threw my pina colada on him.
00:13:54He was fine.
00:13:58But seriously, Bill, Stephanie, you're going to have a wonderful life together.
00:14:03Everybody, let's stand up.
00:14:05Have a toast to the happy couple.
00:14:07To Bill and Stephanie.
00:14:23Okay, Tom. Okay, Tom.
00:14:28Oh, my God!
00:14:41Go get him!
00:14:58Where am I?
00:14:59A honeymoon suite.
00:15:05I ordered champagne, or would you prefer a pina colada?
00:15:08Mm, very funny.
00:15:10Seriously, though, are you okay? You hit your head.
00:15:12Mm, yeah, I just, um...
00:15:14I didn't really eat very much.
00:15:16You didn't?
00:15:17No, I didn't.
00:15:18You didn't?
00:15:19No, I didn't.
00:15:20You didn't?
00:15:21No, I didn't.
00:15:22You didn't?
00:15:23No, I didn't.
00:15:24You didn't?
00:15:25No, I didn't.
00:15:26I didn't really eat very much today, so I think I have low blood sugar.
00:15:29Well, in that case, you're definitely going to want one of these.
00:15:33Oh.
00:15:34No.
00:15:35No?
00:15:37You know I've been looking for you all evening.
00:15:40You have?
00:15:42Please, tell me you're okay.
00:15:43You're not going to sue us, are you?
00:15:45Of course not. No, no, it was an accident.
00:15:48I'm so sorry that I'm in your room with your bouquet.
00:15:53Hey, keep it. That bouquet was meant for you.
00:15:57Thanks.
00:16:00I'm going to get back to work.
00:16:02Let me help you down the stairs.
00:16:03Oh, no, I'm fine.
00:16:05Are you sure?
00:16:06Yes, thank you.
00:16:15Please, Laurel.
00:16:19Wait.
00:16:21The night is still young.
00:16:23May I have this dance?
00:16:24Here?
00:16:26Well, the song will be over by the time we get to the actual dance floor, so why not?
00:16:29Um, I'm not much of a dancer.
00:16:32It's okay. You can fake it pretty good.
00:16:38This is better than faking it. Where did you learn how to dance?
00:16:41Argentina.
00:16:43It's research for a book.
00:16:53Thank you.
00:17:11I should go.
00:17:14Of course.
00:17:20It was really nice meeting you, Laurel.
00:17:23You too.
00:17:25Hope we can see each other again.
00:17:42I mean, it was amazing.
00:17:44It was amazing. We had this connection, you know?
00:17:48And the way he held me when we danced.
00:17:52I know this sounds crazy, but I think he could be the one.
00:17:56The one? But I thought you said that he was just in town for the wedding, right?
00:18:00So?
00:18:01Well, come on. I mean, he's just in town for the wedding.
00:18:04He's, what, some freelancer who doesn't even have a real job?
00:18:08How many red flags do you need?
00:18:10I know, but we really clicked. Doesn't that count for something?
00:18:13He didn't even ask for your phone number, right?
00:18:15Good. He knows where I work. He could always just stop by.
00:18:18I don't think he's going to do that.
00:18:22I mean, I finally have a romantic encounter with a guy, Brooke,
00:18:25and you're making it like you're not happy for me.
00:18:28No, I'm just looking out for you.
00:18:52Hi.
00:19:05Hi.
00:19:21No new messages.
00:19:52Here are your flowers.
00:19:54Thank you, Laurel.
00:20:10Good morning. How can I help you?
00:20:12Are you looking for someone?
00:20:14No, I'm not.
00:20:16I'm looking for someone.
00:20:18Good morning. How can I help you?
00:20:20Are you Laurel?
00:20:22I am. I'm Kristen Somerset.
00:20:24Kristen, of course.
00:20:26It's going to be a very big event,
00:20:28and flowers are an integral part of my vision.
00:20:30Absolutely. Okay, now, what kind of wedding are you thinking?
00:20:33Elegant, evening?
00:20:35Big. Big and Scottish. We're having a big Highland wedding.
00:20:38Kilts, bagpipes, haggis, thistles, the works.
00:20:41So you're Scottish?
00:20:43No, I just thought it'd be cool to have a Scottish wedding.
00:20:45But, you know, with some American-style bells and whistles.
00:20:48I brought my inspiration board with me.
00:20:50You know, to get things rolling.
00:20:52You have an inspiration board?
00:20:54Yes. This will give you a sense of what I want.
00:20:57You get the idea.
00:20:59I'll be wearing a cream gown with a 20-foot train and a veil,
00:21:03so I'm going to need a very impressive bouquet.
00:21:06Plus 14 bridesmaid bouquets,
00:21:09seven flower girl baskets,
00:21:11a tossing bouquet, 15 boutonnieres,
00:21:1336 table arrangements,
00:21:1512 door pieces, a cake topper,
00:21:17and some potpourri for the bathrooms.
00:21:19Wow, you have really thought this out, Kristen.
00:21:22I have been planning my wedding since I was five.
00:21:25Okay, I'll call you.
00:21:27I am off to the Bahamas for a few days.
00:21:31I need to work on my tan.
00:21:33Of course. I feel really good about this.
00:21:35Me too. Later. Okay, bye.
00:21:39Thank you.
00:21:43Thank you for waiting. No problem.
00:21:45Uh, it's nice to see you.
00:21:47You too.
00:21:49Interesting customers you get here. Yeah.
00:21:51Was that what is known as a bridezilla?
00:21:53It was, yes.
00:21:55They are extremely dangerous
00:21:57and only to be handled by trained professionals.
00:21:59Do you have time to get that coffee we talked about?
00:22:02Yeah, sure.
00:22:04Let me just grab my purse.
00:22:08So my grandma tells me you know a lot about plants.
00:22:11I thought it would be interesting to study plants
00:22:14so that I could research and identify natural compounds
00:22:18that could be used in medicines.
00:22:20I mean, there are literally thousands of plants
00:22:22in remote parts of the world that have yet to be evaluated
00:22:25for their medicinal potential,
00:22:27especially in the South American rainforest.
00:22:29Am I talking too much?
00:22:31No, not at all.
00:22:33I think it's amazing that you know all of this.
00:22:36So how did you get into flowers?
00:22:39Well, my grandma's been in the business for over 40 years,
00:22:42so I just kind of picked it up from her.
00:22:45Yeah, when I was little, that flower shop
00:22:47was pretty much the only place I wanted to be.
00:22:50It was like this magic place full of flowers and happiness.
00:22:54Sounds like you had a wonderful childhood.
00:22:56Mostly.
00:22:58My parents died when I was younger,
00:23:00so my grandmother raised me.
00:23:03Losing a parent is difficult at any age.
00:23:09So tell me, what is it like a day in the life of a florist?
00:23:14Busy.
00:23:16Most days I'm up at 5 when I go into the city
00:23:19to go to the flower markets.
00:23:21Then I come back to the shop, process the flowers,
00:23:24set everything up, fluffing everything to make it look pretty.
00:23:27And then the phone starts ringing.
00:23:29By 10, I'm normally on my 5th cup of coffee.
00:23:33I know what you mean.
00:23:35I'm talking too much. I'm sorry.
00:23:37No, not at all.
00:23:43You truly do look stunning tonight.
00:23:46Thank you.
00:23:49So did you always know you wanted to be a doctor?
00:23:53Yes.
00:23:55As soon as I could talk, I asked my parents for a toy doctor set.
00:23:59I wore one of my dad's old white shirts as a lab coat.
00:24:03When we had company, I'd go around testing everyone's reflexes
00:24:07and telling them to say, ah.
00:24:09That's really cute.
00:24:11I even started taking pre-med classes while I was still in high school.
00:24:14Wow, your mom must be really proud of you.
00:24:17You know, my mother always said that she would be proud of me
00:24:22no matter what I wanted to do with my life.
00:24:25Wow, you two must be really close.
00:24:27Absolutely.
00:24:31She can't wait to meet you.
00:24:33You told your mother about me?
00:24:35Sure.
00:24:37Talked to her almost every day.
00:24:39I couldn't exactly leave out the fact that I met a beautiful woman
00:24:44that I can't stop thinking about.
00:24:51Cheers.
00:25:00You were right.
00:25:02I mean, he's so intellectual and smart.
00:25:05And he really lets me know what he wants out of life.
00:25:08Really?
00:25:09Well, I mean, he's subtle about it,
00:25:11but he makes it clear that he wants a serious relationship
00:25:13and he won't be wasting my time.
00:25:15Oh, I knew it. I knew it.
00:25:17He is definitely a keeper.
00:25:19I mean, do you think that he's someone that you could really be serious about?
00:25:23Yeah, I do.
00:25:25I mean, I've never met someone who's made me feel so secure and comfortable.
00:25:32He even told his mother about me.
00:25:34Oh, my goodness. You must really be smitten.
00:25:38Did you kiss?
00:25:39Nana!
00:25:40But did you?
00:25:41Yeah.
00:25:43But you know when you first kiss someone
00:25:47and you have this flash-forward fantasy of how your lives are going to be?
00:25:51You know, you could see your wedding and your honeymoon
00:25:54to adorable babies.
00:25:56Yes.
00:25:57It didn't happen.
00:25:59Oh, well, honey, you know,
00:26:02love isn't just like some magical force that overwhelms you.
00:26:06Sometimes it just takes time for you to realize
00:26:09that the right man for you is someone you never expected.
00:26:18Does that make sense to you, darling?
00:26:21Oh, Gavin. Oh, how nice.
00:26:24Hello, Rose. Hello, Laurel.
00:26:26Hey, Gavin.
00:26:27I figured it was time for a coffee break,
00:26:29so I brought you one light and sweet.
00:26:31Exactly. Thank you so much.
00:26:33Oh, you're welcome.
00:26:34I'm sorry. Laurel, I could go get you one.
00:26:37No need, Gavin. Let me grab your order.
00:26:39So, how are your day lilies doing?
00:26:42As I call them, dear candy.
00:26:45They're just fine.
00:26:46I took your advice.
00:26:48I sprayed the whole thing with hot pepper and soap water,
00:26:51and so far, so good.
00:26:53The deer are gone.
00:26:55My hands are clean.
00:26:57My homemade guacamole's got an extra kick to it.
00:27:02Now, if I could just do something
00:27:04about the birds and the blueberries, I'd be fine.
00:27:07The best thing to do is just pick them all and make a pie.
00:27:11Unfortunately, Jessica was a pie maker in the family.
00:27:15Here you are, Gavin.
00:27:17Should I just put it on your tab?
00:27:19Yes, thank you.
00:27:21Thank you for the coffee.
00:27:23You're welcome.
00:27:25Well, I won't take up any more of your time.
00:27:29Goodbye.
00:27:30Bye-bye, Gavin.
00:27:31Have a good day.
00:27:37Bye.
00:27:40That is such a sweet man.
00:27:42I can't believe that he still puts fresh roses
00:27:45in his wife's grave every week after all these years.
00:27:48He really is sweet.
00:27:50You know, we should find someone for him.
00:27:52It's a shame that such a wonderful man is still single,
00:27:55but I really can't think of anybody
00:27:57that would be right for him.
00:28:16Looking for a book to read?
00:28:18Steven.
00:28:20Hi.
00:28:21Uh, no, I'm just browsing.
00:28:24How about this one?
00:28:27Oh, uh, handsome rogues.
00:28:30Tempestuous heroines.
00:28:32Pulse-pounding love season.
00:28:34This is pretty good stuff.
00:28:36Yeah, that's not really my thing.
00:28:38You don't like romance novels?
00:28:40Um, I, I just, I don't find them very interesting.
00:28:43Um, I, I just, I don't find them very believable.
00:28:46That's all.
00:28:47I like to stick to more serious fiction.
00:28:50What are you doing here anyway?
00:28:52Well, I find the used book table
00:28:54is an excellent place to meet beautiful women.
00:28:59So I thought you were just in town for the wedding.
00:29:02Yeah, well, I, I needed a quiet place
00:29:04to get some writing done,
00:29:06so I figured I'd stick around for a little longer.
00:29:08What are you writing?
00:29:10Oh, no, no, I never talk about my work until I'm done.
00:29:12Why not?
00:29:14Writing's a very private process.
00:29:17Oh, I see.
00:29:19So fear's still on page one?
00:29:23Maybe.
00:29:27I rented a house up here to finish my latest novel,
00:29:30and, um, it's actually just up the road here.
00:29:32I'd love to show you if you got the time.
00:29:34Okay.
00:29:37Here we are.
00:29:40You know, this is Dr. Rubin's old estate.
00:29:43I used to play here with his grandchildren.
00:29:45Isn't it a little large for you?
00:29:47Well, it's always good to have room for guests.
00:29:50I remember this room.
00:29:53He has got a great book collection, doesn't he?
00:29:55Yeah, I'm so glad he left it all.
00:29:57Jane Austen, Persuasion.
00:29:59Have you read it?
00:30:01I have, actually.
00:30:03What about Rebecca?
00:30:05Now that is one of my all-time favorites.
00:30:07Have you read this?
00:30:09No. What's it about?
00:30:11It's about a woman who falls in love with a man
00:30:13who has a mysterious secret.
00:30:15I can't believe you've read so many books about women.
00:30:17I mean, most guys are just interested in spy novels
00:30:19and science fiction.
00:30:21They don't know what they're missing.
00:30:23I think women are far more interesting characters than men.
00:30:25I mean, men always do things for the obvious reasons,
00:30:27you know, fame, money, power.
00:30:29But no one, not even Tolstoy, the greatest writer ever,
00:30:32could figure out why women do what they do.
00:30:34But that's easy.
00:30:36It's not.
00:30:52Wow.
00:30:54Zantadescia Aethiopica.
00:30:56Gorgeous.
00:30:58Show off.
00:31:00I know, it's terrible.
00:31:02It's not every day I get to impress a girl
00:31:04On a more poetic note, you look lovely.
00:31:06Please, come in.
00:31:16Thank you.
00:31:18You are welcome.
00:31:20White is fine?
00:31:22Yeah, absolutely. This place is great.
00:31:24Oh, thank you.
00:31:26I designed it myself.
00:31:28Salmon's fine?
00:31:30Atlantic, fresh.
00:31:34I think we're fine.
00:31:36Um, I would love to show you something this way.
00:31:40Okay.
00:31:44Oh, wow.
00:31:46I thought you would appreciate it.
00:31:48My orchid collection.
00:31:50Stunning.
00:31:52Cambria tiger.
00:31:56Here you go. Try this. It's ouzo.
00:31:58You ever had ouzo?
00:32:00No, I've never had it.
00:32:02Oh.
00:32:06You don't like it?
00:32:08No, it's a little bit licorice-y.
00:32:10I love it.
00:32:12Yeah, most people do.
00:32:14I think I had a bad experience with black jelly beans
00:32:16When I was a little kid.
00:32:18Traumatized for life.
00:32:20Serious medical condition.
00:32:22It is treatable, though, with a course of junior mints.
00:32:26I love spending time with you.
00:32:28I feel like we share something special.
00:32:32Put it away.
00:32:36So...
00:32:38What kind of wedding are you gonna have?
00:32:40Who's the guy? How'd you meet?
00:32:42Well, believe it or not, we met at a wedding.
00:32:44Yes, my cousin had a destination wedding in Bermuda,
00:32:46and he was one of the groom's college friends,
00:32:48and we just looked at each other,
00:32:50and we knew.
00:32:52I mean, I couldn't believe it.
00:32:54Has that ever happened to you, where you just...
00:32:56You looked at someone, and you knew that it was the real thing?
00:32:58Uh...
00:33:00One sec.
00:33:02Um...
00:33:06Um, yeah.
00:33:08So, let's see.
00:33:10You know what, actually, can I just...
00:33:12Can you excuse me for a second?
00:33:14Sure.
00:33:16Okay, great, thanks.
00:33:18Stephen, how are you?
00:33:20I'm well.
00:33:22Just thought I'd come by and say hi.
00:33:24Hi.
00:33:26Hi.
00:33:34Rebecca.
00:33:36Well, I figured it was kind of pointless bringing you flowers.
00:33:38Yeah.
00:33:40Well, thank you.
00:33:42Listen, um, do you have time to go out for lunch?
00:33:44Oh, you know what, I'm a little busy right now.
00:33:46Oh, come on.
00:33:48You can take a couple hours off, surely.
00:33:50It's a beautiful day.
00:33:52Give me one second.
00:33:54So, Megan,
00:33:56let me see your inspiration board.
00:33:58Inspiration board?
00:34:00What's that?
00:34:02Wow, um, you take different pictures
00:34:04from wedding magazines,
00:34:06and you glue them onto a poster board,
00:34:08so I could see your dream wedding.
00:34:10Oh, wow, I have never heard of that.
00:34:12I can't believe that.
00:34:14I mean, every bride seems to be doing it these days.
00:34:16Um, I tell you what,
00:34:18why don't you take some bridal magazines home with you,
00:34:20and make your inspiration board,
00:34:22and we'll meet back up in a couple weeks,
00:34:24or whenever you're done.
00:34:26Okay, great. Wow, this is gonna be fun.
00:34:28Yeah, it certainly is.
00:34:32I was more of a chess player.
00:34:34Oh, let me guess.
00:34:36Research for a book?
00:34:38Exactly.
00:34:40Well, what do you write, anyway?
00:34:42Oh, no, I finally get a day off.
00:34:44I don't want to talk about work.
00:34:46Oh, come on, just tell me.
00:34:48I thought we were going to lunch.
00:34:50We are.
00:34:54Aww.
00:34:56Champagne?
00:34:58A picnic.
00:35:00That's so romantic.
00:35:02Yep,
00:35:04I actually had to make
00:35:06a flower arrangement for a cow's neck.
00:35:08The whole wedding was black and white cow print,
00:35:10and, um,
00:35:12oh, they had cheesecake
00:35:14instead of normal cake.
00:35:16And for their favors,
00:35:18they had these little tiny cheese graters
00:35:20that said a great love on them.
00:35:22Oh.
00:35:24You get it?
00:35:26Yeah.
00:35:28But that was nothing compared to this biker wedding I did.
00:35:30I had to coordinate the flowers
00:35:32with the bride's tattoos.
00:35:34And now I'm working on this wedding for this girl
00:35:36who wants it to be Scottish-themed,
00:35:38but she's not Scottish.
00:35:40But it sounds like you love what you do.
00:35:42Mm-hmm.
00:35:44You know, it's funny.
00:35:46You're basically someone's best friend
00:35:48for a couple of months, you know,
00:35:50helping them plan the most important day of their lives.
00:35:52And then
00:35:54they're gone.
00:35:56You move on to the next one.
00:35:58You ever thought about what you'll do for your own wedding?
00:36:00Come on, I know you have.
00:36:02Uh,
00:36:04I don't know.
00:36:06I guess if I ever get married,
00:36:08I would probably just...
00:36:10Elope?
00:36:12How did you know?
00:36:14Oh, weddings will work for you.
00:36:16They'll pack you in a suitcase,
00:36:18running away to a distant land.
00:36:20That's romantic.
00:36:22Is that what you're gonna do for your wedding?
00:36:24Absolutely.
00:36:26Oh, if I get married.
00:36:28I mean, it sounds great in theory,
00:36:30but I could never do that to Rose.
00:36:32You two are pretty close, huh?
00:36:34Yeah, my parents died when I was pretty young,
00:36:36so her and my grandpa raised me.
00:36:38And then when Grandpa died, it was just her and I.
00:36:40That must have been very tough for you.
00:36:42No, I was pretty young, and Rose gave me
00:36:44everything I needed.
00:36:46It wasn't until I got older
00:36:48that I started to realize
00:36:50what I was missing.
00:36:52Every time I see pictures of them,
00:36:54it just reminds me that they were real people
00:36:56that I'll never know.
00:37:02Is that what's in the locket?
00:37:04Pictures of your parents?
00:37:06Mm-hmm.
00:37:08Ah.
00:37:12Wow.
00:37:14Hmm.
00:37:30You should check, because they might close early.
00:37:32Yeah, okay.
00:37:38Um,
00:37:40how about dinner
00:37:42at my place some night?
00:37:44Um, okay.
00:37:46That'd be great.
00:37:48I'll call you.
00:37:50Okay.
00:37:52Oh, thank you so much
00:37:54for the book.
00:37:56You're welcome.
00:37:58And for the lovely time.
00:38:00Yeah, it was fun.
00:38:02Yeah, it was.
00:38:04I'll see you soon.
00:38:06Okay.
00:38:18That's fine. Thank you, Sam.
00:38:20You're welcome.
00:38:22So, you just ran off with him in the middle of the day.
00:38:24So?
00:38:26Well, what if something happened to you?
00:38:28What? Nana, we were going on a picnic,
00:38:30not skydiving.
00:38:32Does Evan know you're running off with strange men?
00:38:34It's not like we're exclusive.
00:38:36Honey, I just don't want you to miss a chance
00:38:38to be with somebody wonderful like Evan
00:38:40because of some struggling writer.
00:38:42He's not struggling.
00:38:44Well, he never tells you what he's working on.
00:38:46I think that is very suspicious, don't you?
00:38:48He will tell me when he's ready.
00:38:50Look, Evan and I are still happening.
00:38:52It's just Stephen and I have
00:38:54a connection.
00:38:56I just don't want you to be hurt.
00:38:58Nana, aren't you always telling me
00:39:00to hang out with other people? That's what I'm doing.
00:39:02Yes, but chances for real happiness
00:39:04don't come by five times a day
00:39:06like a crosstown bus.
00:39:08You sure about that?
00:39:10No, I just want you to give
00:39:12Evan another chance.
00:39:14Oh, Kevin!
00:39:16I didn't see you. Your flowers are ready.
00:39:18Thank you.
00:39:20How are you today?
00:39:22I'm good.
00:39:24I am flying to Buenos Aires next week.
00:39:26I have a job interview there.
00:39:28Oh, for what?
00:39:30It's a pharmaceutical company that's trying to
00:39:32discover and synthesize
00:39:34new plant compounds for medicinal use.
00:39:36I'm surprised
00:39:38you never mentioned this before.
00:39:40Well, I didn't want to jinx it.
00:39:42I mean, this is my dream job.
00:39:44So if you get this job,
00:39:46does that mean you'll be moving
00:39:48to South America?
00:39:50For a couple years, yeah.
00:39:52But it would take a while to organize.
00:39:54I'd have to get
00:39:56visas and shots and
00:39:58papers, all that.
00:40:02I want you to come with me.
00:40:12Oh, my God. Honey,
00:40:14do you know what this means? What?
00:40:16He's going to ask you to marry him.
00:40:18No, he's not. Yes, yes, he is. Trust me.
00:40:20When a man sees the woman that he's going to marry
00:40:22for the first time, he just knows.
00:40:24Really?
00:40:26I don't have your bridesmaid's wear.
00:40:28I just need you to know I don't look good in yellow.
00:40:30Any other color is fine. Trust me, please.
00:40:32I don't even know how I feel about this yet.
00:40:34Honey, a handsome doctor
00:40:36wants to marry you
00:40:38and whisk you off for a life of adventure and romance
00:40:40and you don't know how you feel about that?
00:40:42Okay, but don't forget I also have a handsome writer
00:40:44who's interested in spending time with me as well.
00:40:46Okay, well, you need to figure out
00:40:48if Stephen is serious or not.
00:40:50Because Evan is going to close the deal as soon as he gets back.
00:40:52What am I supposed to do? Sit Stephen down
00:40:54and ask him if he's ready for marriage and children?
00:40:56No, you don't have to do that.
00:40:58Just get him to start talking about his future
00:41:00and say what he says.
00:41:18You look beautiful.
00:41:20Thank you.
00:41:24Did you know that in Victorian times
00:41:26to bring someone red tulips
00:41:28was a passionate declaration of love?
00:41:30The black center was supposed to represent
00:41:32a lover's heart
00:41:34burned to a coal by love's passion.
00:41:36They also mean fame.
00:41:38I thought you might like that.
00:41:40I'm not famous.
00:41:42Maybe someday.
00:41:48You know, I was lucky you didn't bring me yellow tulips.
00:41:50Why?
00:41:52Well, they mean to declare your love
00:41:54hopelessly and utterly
00:41:56and to throw yourself at the mercy of your lover.
00:41:58I can see how that would be
00:42:00a little much for a Tuesday night.
00:42:02A little bit.
00:42:04This is really good, by the way.
00:42:06Thanks. Want to know the secret?
00:42:08I only cook with real butter.
00:42:10Well, where did you learn how to cook like this?
00:42:12The Cordon Bleu in Paris.
00:42:14Let me guess.
00:42:16Was it research for a book?
00:42:18That's right.
00:42:20You should always be a chef.
00:42:22Oh, I can never stop writing.
00:42:24I love the freedom it gives me.
00:42:26I can be anyone.
00:42:28I can pack up and just go anywhere
00:42:30for my research.
00:42:32I'm glad you finally had a free night
00:42:34so we could do this.
00:42:36Me, too.
00:42:38You're a very busy lady, it seems.
00:42:40Well, you know, I have lots of weddings
00:42:42and stuff like that.
00:42:44I was beginning to think maybe I had a rival.
00:42:46And if you did?
00:42:48I'd challenge him to a duel.
00:42:50I'm a very jealous man.
00:42:52I can see.
00:42:54When do I get to read one of your books?
00:42:56Someday.
00:43:00You're a very mysterious man, you know that?
00:43:02Mysterious? Really?
00:43:04Yeah.
00:43:06Well, they say when a man is mysterious,
00:43:08it's because he's harboring a terrible secret.
00:43:12I think you've been reading too many books.
00:43:18Thank you.
00:43:44Thank you. Have a good day.
00:43:46Thank you, Laurel.
00:43:48Very pretty.
00:43:50They are.
00:43:52Oh, there you are.
00:43:54Where were you last night?
00:43:56We missed you at the book club meeting.
00:43:58Oh, that's right.
00:44:00It was Tuesday.
00:44:02I made your favorite key lime bars.
00:44:04The ones with the toasted coconut on top.
00:44:06Well, I was actually having dinner
00:44:08with Stephen.
00:44:10Stephen?
00:44:12Oh, honey.
00:44:14What happened to Evan?
00:44:16Nana, I told you he had to go to South America.
00:44:18Oh, sweetheart.
00:44:20I know it's your life,
00:44:22but you're wasting your time with this Stephen fella.
00:44:24I mean, he's not looking for anything serious.
00:44:26Has he even told you
00:44:28that he's not dating other women?
00:44:30Nana.
00:44:32Whereas Evan has always been right up front with you
00:44:34about his intentions.
00:44:36You'll have to ask yourself,
00:44:38what do I really want in a relationship?
00:44:40Well, sit down.
00:44:42Sit down, make a list.
00:44:44Two columns.
00:44:46Maybe you can do different colored pants.
00:44:48Okay, hello.
00:44:50Good morning, Rose.
00:44:52Yeah, good morning.
00:44:54I want to get some flowers for Nicky's teacher.
00:44:56I see. Suggest some things.
00:45:04It was perfect.
00:45:06I mean, you know when you first kiss a guy
00:45:08and you have like this
00:45:10flash-forward fantasy
00:45:12about how your lives are going to be together
00:45:14and you can see your wedding day
00:45:16and your honeymoon and adorable little babies.
00:45:18God, I don't remember any of that.
00:45:20You didn't have that with James?
00:45:22Well, I mean, you know, James and I have been dating
00:45:24since I was in high school,
00:45:26so I'm kind of too far past that stage
00:45:28to really remember any of it.
00:45:30But when Stephen kissed me, Brooke,
00:45:32it was like I felt like I could do it forever.
00:45:34And he's all into poetry
00:45:36and love.
00:45:38Well, okay, but what about Evan?
00:45:40I like Evan.
00:45:42But Stephen and I, we just have a connection.
00:45:46I just wish he was
00:45:48more honest about what he does all day.
00:45:50You know, he won't tell me anything.
00:45:52I don't know what he's writing,
00:45:54where he's working. He says he's always moving around.
00:45:56Okay, well, that's a red flag.
00:45:58I know. I mean, I even looked him up on the internet.
00:46:00I couldn't find one thing about him.
00:46:02It's like he's an invisible man
00:46:04or something.
00:46:06So what do you think I should do? Who should I choose?
00:46:08Well, I think you should go for both.
00:46:10Both?
00:46:12Yes! Keep dating the charming,
00:46:14mysterious guy, but also date
00:46:16the doctor guy on the side, just in case.
00:46:18It's perfect.
00:46:26Ah, I can't believe it.
00:46:28It's a total disaster.
00:46:30Well, she's gone on a few dates with this writer fellow.
00:46:32What's wrong with that? He's charming,
00:46:34handsome. My point. Exactly.
00:46:36She's gonna fall madly in love with him.
00:46:38He's gonna break up with her in a few months.
00:46:40Meanwhile, Evan
00:46:42will have slipped through her fingers.
00:46:44Rose, it's her life.
00:46:46Let her live it. I can't help it.
00:46:48Laurel is a very sweet girl,
00:46:50but she is just too much of a dreamer.
00:46:52I'm afraid she's gonna
00:46:54miss out on life, love,
00:46:56real love, you know, with a man who
00:46:58cares about her.
00:47:00Oh, my God.
00:47:02There he is.
00:47:04Who?
00:47:06The man who is threatening to undermine
00:47:08my entire plan.
00:47:10Who's the lady? Who cares?
00:47:12She's not Laurel.
00:47:14Come on. Come on.
00:47:16What are you doing?
00:47:18I'm gonna take his picture with my phone.
00:47:20I thought you didn't know how to use that phone.
00:47:22I don't. I don't.
00:47:26It's you.
00:47:28Oh, brat.
00:47:30I have to get this picture.
00:47:32If I could just show Laurel.
00:47:34Show her what? Some lousy cell phone picture?
00:47:36No. She has to see
00:47:38that this guy is playing the field.
00:47:40She's gonna have to make up
00:47:42her own mind about him. Let it go.
00:47:46I can't. Laurel is everything to me.
00:47:48She's my whole life.
00:47:50I lost my husband, my daughter, everything.
00:47:52I have to protect her.
00:47:54From what?
00:47:56Life? I don't want her to end up all alone.
00:47:58No husband, no family.
00:48:02I can't let that happen.
00:48:04Whisper it in.
00:48:20Hi, Stephen.
00:48:22I'm Rose Durham,
00:48:24Laurel's grandmother.
00:48:26Oh, hello. Oh, please, please, come on in.
00:48:28No, no, no. I'm gonna get right to the point.
00:48:32You seem like a very
00:48:34wonderful, charming man.
00:48:36It's always nice to hear.
00:48:38But, you see, that is part of the
00:48:40problem. I know you're seeing
00:48:42my granddaughter. Yes, but
00:48:44don't worry.
00:48:46I don't think it's serious yet. You see that?
00:48:48That's what I'm worried about.
00:48:50I don't know if I know
00:48:52what you mean. I know. It's
00:48:54odd. But, you see,
00:48:56I'm an old lady.
00:48:58I'm a widow. I've got my shop
00:49:00and my granddaughter.
00:49:02And all I want in this world
00:49:04is for her to be happy.
00:49:06I think she is happy. Well, yeah, she's happy
00:49:08right now. But what I mean is
00:49:10long-term
00:49:12happiness.
00:49:14Settle down with a man who loves her.
00:49:16A man she can rely on.
00:49:20Does she know that you're here? No, of course not.
00:49:22No.
00:49:24Far be it for me to meddle in
00:49:26the affairs of young people, but
00:49:28I think you should know that
00:49:30she already has a man
00:49:32like that in her life.
00:49:34She's seen someone else? Yes.
00:49:36And they're quite serious.
00:49:38Practically engaged, if you
00:49:40must know.
00:49:42Thank you for letting me know.
00:49:44You're welcome.
00:49:52Okay, thanks a lot.
00:49:54Thank you. See you later.
00:50:00Rose's turn.
00:50:02Hi. Stephen, I thought
00:50:04that might be you. Hey, Laurel,
00:50:06how are you? Um,
00:50:08I'm fine. How are you?
00:50:10I'm fine. How about you?
00:50:12I'm fine. How about you?
00:50:14I'm fine. How about you?
00:50:16I'm fine. How about you?
00:50:18I'm fine. How about you?
00:50:20How are you? Um,
00:50:22I'm good. I was just finishing up with the
00:50:24Harris wedding flowers. I'm gonna go home
00:50:26and change, and then I'll see you at the restaurant around 8.
00:50:28That's why I'm calling, actually.
00:50:30What do you mean? I don't think
00:50:32I can make it tonight. Oh.
00:50:34Um, what's
00:50:36the matter? Nothing.
00:50:38I just got a lot of writing to do.
00:50:40I gotta hand this manuscript in next
00:50:42week, and I'm just too far behind.
00:50:44Probably wouldn't be much fun anyway. Are you sure you're okay?
00:50:46Absolutely.
00:50:48I just gotta lock myself in a room and work
00:50:50for a few days, you know?
00:50:52No, I understand.
00:50:54Good luck. Thanks.
00:50:56Bye.
00:50:58Sigh.
00:51:16Hey, Mom and Dad.
00:51:20Why does love have to be so
00:51:22hard?
00:51:25How come I
00:51:27can't find someone easily like you guys
00:51:29did?
00:51:31You know, you just met,
00:51:33you fell in love,
00:51:35you got married.
00:51:37It was just simple
00:51:39and straightforward.
00:51:43Sigh.
00:51:45Why am I so confused?
00:51:54Sigh.
00:52:14Gavin?
00:52:16Oh. Hi.
00:52:18Hey. Laurel, good
00:52:20to see you. What are you doing here?
00:52:22I was just bringing my parents
00:52:24some flowers. Oh.
00:52:28I was visiting Jessica.
00:52:32How'd you two fall in love?
00:52:34It wasn't hard.
00:52:36I was fixed up on a
00:52:38blind date.
00:52:40I thought she was so beautiful
00:52:42and so intelligent.
00:52:44We were married a year later.
00:52:46So it was that easy, huh?
00:52:48No hesitation?
00:52:50Well, like so many
00:52:52young men, I didn't
00:52:54want to get married early.
00:52:56But that all changed when I
00:52:58fell in love.
00:53:02Would you ever remarry?
00:53:04Of course. I'd like
00:53:06very much to be remarried. Really?
00:53:08For me,
00:53:10there's only one real happiness.
00:53:12To love
00:53:14and be loved.
00:53:16That's what Rose always
00:53:18says.
00:53:22Would you like me to
00:53:24walk you home?
00:53:26Okay.
00:53:32Rose is a
00:53:34very wise woman.
00:53:36She's beautiful, too.
00:53:38You should tell her
00:53:40that sometime.
00:53:42I'm sure she would love to hear it.
00:53:44Perhaps I will.
00:53:48Okay.
00:54:08Hi there, girl.
00:54:18So he still
00:54:20hasn't called you?
00:54:22Nope. It is the weirdest thing.
00:54:24I mean, we were having this wonderful time together
00:54:26and then poof, he's gone.
00:54:28Do you think I should call him?
00:54:30What? No. No, no, no. Here's what we're gonna do.
00:54:32We are going to forget about this guy.
00:54:34I mean, we can't be focused on some guy that's gonna
00:54:36creep all out and disappear on you like that.
00:54:38I know, but what if it was a misunderstanding?
00:54:40Honey, when a guy doesn't call
00:54:42it's because he's seeing somebody else
00:54:44or doesn't want to hurt your feelings.
00:54:46Promise me you're not gonna call him.
00:54:48Okay, don't worry, I won't.
00:54:50I won't call him.
00:54:56Happy birthday.
00:54:58Nana, you did not have to bring me flowers.
00:55:00I didn't. They're from Evan.
00:55:02He called me last night
00:55:04and told me to be sure to give you these
00:55:06first thing in the morning.
00:55:10Ah.
00:55:16Dear Laurel, I want to be the first person
00:55:18to wish you a happy birthday this year
00:55:20and for many years to come.
00:55:22No matter how far away I am,
00:55:24I want you to know that I have never felt
00:55:26closer to anyone.
00:55:28See you soon. Love, Evan.
00:55:36Wow.
00:55:46Oh, my gosh, look at this wedding dress.
00:55:48With the little fishtail mermaid thing
00:55:50at the bottom, that would look absolutely
00:55:52perfect on you.
00:55:54Just because Evan sent me flowers on my birthday
00:55:56does not mean we're gonna start planning my wedding.
00:55:58Oh, come on. Can you try to act a little bit
00:56:00excited about this whole thing? Just for me, please.
00:56:02I don't want to jinx it.
00:56:04You know what? I bet if Stephen would've been
00:56:06the one who wanted to marry you, you would've already
00:56:08had the dress picked out and the flowers ordered by now.
00:56:10Well, if Stephen and I were gonna get married,
00:56:12we would've probably just eloped.
00:56:14But he's actually not even talking to me,
00:56:16so it doesn't matter.
00:56:18He still hasn't called you? Nope.
00:56:20And don't worry, I haven't called him.
00:56:22Well, you know what? I'm sorry.
00:56:24I should've never even brought it up.
00:56:26You know? Especially on your birthday.
00:56:28No, it's okay.
00:56:30I mean, it just bums me out
00:56:32that I'm never gonna know what happened between us.
00:56:36You know what?
00:56:38I gotta get out of here. I have to deliver those flowers
00:56:40and then go pick up some more ribbon
00:56:42for the Scottish Bridezilla wedding on Saturday.
00:56:44You're still gonna help me, right? I'll be there.
00:56:46Oh, and don't forget tonight at the shop
00:56:48at 7 o'clock.
00:56:50I can't believe I actually slipped and told you,
00:56:52but just try your best to act surprised.
00:56:54Don't worry. I'm on it.
00:56:56Okay.
00:57:10This looks so cute.
00:57:12You like it?
00:57:14Yeah.
00:57:20Hey, why don't you wait here? I'll go get us a table.
00:57:22Back in a sec.
00:57:24Hello?
00:57:26Victoria Darling speaking.
00:57:28Yes.
00:57:30Oh, it's fabulous up here.
00:57:32Such a lovely little town.
00:57:34Oh, and Stephen and I always have such a great time together.
00:57:36He is such a romantic guy.
00:57:38Makes everything easy.
00:57:40Yeah, well,
00:57:42when you've been together as long as we have,
00:57:44you just know it's gonna last forever.
00:57:46Okay. All right.
00:57:48Great. Bye-bye.
00:57:54Surprise!
00:57:56Surprise!
00:58:00He's got a girlfriend.
00:58:02I should have known.
00:58:04How could you have known?
00:58:06About the red flags.
00:58:08I just wish he wasn't so secretive about what he did all day.
00:58:10Whoever she is, she couldn't possibly be as wonderful as you are.
00:58:12Oh, she is, Evangeline.
00:58:14She's sophisticated
00:58:16and beautiful.
00:58:18You're beautiful.
00:58:20And she has this glamorous name,
00:58:22like she's from a soap opera or something.
00:58:24You know her name?
00:58:26Well, there you go. You can Google her.
00:58:28So who is she?
00:58:30Her name is Victoria Darling.
00:58:32I know. It's crazy, right?
00:58:34Like, it's not even real.
00:58:36Oh, honey,
00:58:38I hate to be the one to tell you,
00:58:40but she's real.
00:58:46Yep, that's her.
00:58:48Wow.
00:58:50What?
00:58:52A best-selling romance novelist.
00:58:54I thought she looked familiar.
00:58:56But you saw her?
00:58:58Well, I thought I saw her.
00:59:00Why do you guys have this, anyway?
00:59:02We were reading it.
00:59:04Yeah, I read it when I was on vacation,
00:59:06and it's actually amazing.
00:59:12Sorry.
00:59:14She had never seen a man like him before.
00:59:16Proud.
00:59:18Tall.
00:59:20Handsome.
00:59:22His dark profile thrilling
00:59:24against the evening sky.
00:59:26This?
00:59:28This was a man she could fall in love with.
00:59:30A man she could never have.
00:59:36Ow. Ow.
00:59:38Oh, what happened? What happened?
00:59:40Oh, no.
00:59:42What happened?
00:59:44I poked myself.
00:59:46Okay.
00:59:50What is the matter with you?
00:59:52You're just not yourself today.
00:59:54Thank you.
00:59:56It's Victoria's book.
00:59:58You read the whole thing?
01:00:00Yes. I couldn't sleep.
01:00:02And you know, I don't even like romance novels.
01:00:04But something about this one
01:00:06really spoke to me.
01:00:08I think it was that whole thing
01:00:10about true love,
01:00:12and even if it seems impossible
01:00:14to still pursue it.
01:00:16But you have true love.
01:00:18Evan's love.
01:00:20Nana, I care about Evan.
01:00:22I do. I do. But...
01:00:24But what? What?
01:00:26I don't know. The whole thing with him
01:00:28is just not sitting well with me.
01:00:30Maybe if I could just talk to Stephen
01:00:32and see if we had some misunderstanding.
01:00:34Oh, sweetie, you know,
01:00:36I know you care about Stephen,
01:00:38but he's not the guy for you.
01:00:40Then why can't I stop thinking that we're meant to be together?
01:00:42Life isn't a romance novel.
01:00:44I mean, sometimes you have to accept
01:00:46even a love that's
01:00:48less than perfect.
01:00:50That is pretty wonderful.
01:00:52I guess.
01:00:54I just can't believe he didn't even call me.
01:00:58Oh.
01:01:00♪♪♪
01:01:02Rose's turn.
01:01:04Hello, Laurel. Is Rose there?
01:01:06Yes, she is.
01:01:08It's Gavin.
01:01:14Oh, Gavin. So nice to hear from you.
01:01:16Are you free tonight?
01:01:18What? Oh.
01:01:20Well, no, we're pretty busy.
01:01:22You know, that's the big Scottish wedding weekend.
01:01:24What? Rain check?
01:01:26Well, all right. That would be nice.
01:01:28I'll see you soon.
01:01:30Yes. Well, fine. Bye-bye.
01:01:32Bye-bye.
01:01:34I think I just got asked out
01:01:36on a date.
01:01:38♪♪♪
01:01:40Ha-ha.
01:01:42♪♪♪
01:01:44♪♪♪
01:01:46♪♪♪
01:01:48♪♪♪
01:01:50Evan, you're back.
01:01:52I had to get back and see you.
01:01:54Did you get the job? I did.
01:01:56There's just one thing I need to sort out
01:01:58before I accept it. What's that?
01:02:00Our future.
01:02:03Laura, I know
01:02:05we haven't known each other
01:02:07very long, but I knew
01:02:09that I wanted you the moment we met,
01:02:11and you're all I could think of
01:02:13while I was away.
01:02:15Is this... Yes. Are you...
01:02:17I am asking you to be my wife.
01:02:21You don't have to answer right away.
01:02:23I know that I'm kind of rushing this,
01:02:25and the last thing I want to do
01:02:27is rush you, but...
01:02:33Will you think it over?
01:02:38Of course I will.
01:02:52Hi.
01:02:54Sorry. Sorry I'm late.
01:02:56That's okay.
01:02:58So, how was your day?
01:03:00So, how was your day with Gavin?
01:03:02Oh, well, you know,
01:03:04we just had coffee and dessert,
01:03:06and then we went for a walk
01:03:08in his garden.
01:03:10It was just wonderful.
01:03:12And he is such a special man.
01:03:14I can't believe that I went this long
01:03:16without noticing him.
01:03:18I must have been blind.
01:03:20Oh, my God.
01:03:24Is that what I think it is?
01:03:26Yep.
01:03:28Yep.
01:03:30Gavin proposed. He came right from the airport.
01:03:32Oh, it's beautiful.
01:03:34I can't believe you're gonna get married.
01:03:36Aren't you excited?
01:03:38I haven't said yes yet.
01:03:40But you're going to, aren't you?
01:03:42I don't know. I thought Evan was the one, but...
01:03:44But what? What? What?
01:03:46And I met Stephen.
01:03:48Oh, I knew it. I knew you were gonna
01:03:50fall in love with that Stephen.
01:03:52Well, we were just getting to know each other, and...
01:03:54Oh, it's nonsense.
01:03:56It takes a minute to fall in love.
01:03:58I knew I was gonna marry your grandfather
01:04:0016 seconds into our first date.
01:04:02Oh.
01:04:04It took him a little longer to realize
01:04:06he was gonna marry me.
01:04:08Stephen's made his choice.
01:04:10Now I need to make mine.
01:04:12Am I gonna marry Evan or
01:04:14wait for my true love who may never come?
01:04:18Oh. Oh, honey.
01:04:20You know, we don't have time to talk about this right now.
01:04:22We gotta get to Kristen's wedding.
01:04:24She's there, and we gotta go.
01:04:26Oh, honey.
01:04:28You're gonna be very angry with me
01:04:30about this, but
01:04:32I have something to tell you.
01:04:34What am I gonna be angry about, Nana?
01:04:38I had a little
01:04:40conversation with Stephen
01:04:42about you.
01:04:44Oh, Nana.
01:04:46I told him that you were involved with someone else.
01:04:48It was a serious relationship.
01:04:50So,
01:04:52you told Stephen about Evan?
01:04:54Oh, honey, I'm so sorry. I know.
01:04:56I shouldn't have done it, but I thought it would help you
01:04:58to decide which...
01:05:00No, do you think maybe that's why Stephen disappeared?
01:05:02Maybe.
01:05:04Nana! Aren't you married?
01:05:06Not now. I probably will be later, but
01:05:08in the meantime, I need to go see Stephen.
01:05:12He enters the room
01:05:14and takes her in his arms,
01:05:16kissing her with a warrior's passion.
01:05:18Drops his sword to the floor,
01:05:20and then he...
01:05:28You know what?
01:05:30Why don't we take a break?
01:05:32We can get back to this later.
01:05:34Sure.
01:05:50Hello?
01:06:02Hello?
01:06:04Oh, those are beautiful flowers.
01:06:06Are you...
01:06:08Victoria Darling?
01:06:10Yes. Yes, I am.
01:06:12Then these are for you.
01:06:14Thank you.
01:06:16Hold on. I'll get you a tip.
01:06:20Okay.
01:06:50Here you go.
01:06:52Thanks.
01:06:54You're welcome.
01:07:02Okay.
01:07:08You know, we do have a deadline.
01:07:10We should probably get back to work.
01:07:12Is there something going on with you?
01:07:14Strange.
01:07:18Suddenly, I just can't stop thinking about Laurel.
01:07:20The girl you were seeing.
01:07:22What's going on with that?
01:07:24Well, apparently, she's seeing someone else.
01:07:26Oh.
01:07:28Grandmother told me it was pretty serious.
01:07:30Wait. Her grandmother said that?
01:07:32Yeah.
01:07:34Okay, you know how grandmothers are.
01:07:36They don't tell you what to do.
01:07:38I don't.
01:07:40You know how grandmothers are.
01:07:42They always want to set their granddaughter up
01:07:44with a lawyer or a doctor.
01:07:46You know.
01:07:48At least that's how my grandmother was.
01:07:50I know. I know.
01:07:52I should have just called her, right?
01:07:54Gotten the whole story.
01:07:56I got wrapped up in finishing the book and...
01:07:58Oh, honey, the book is important,
01:08:00but not as important as love.
01:08:02You know, sometimes I think you are
01:08:04just a little too sensitive.
01:08:06You're right.
01:08:08I mean, who cares if she's seeing someone else?
01:08:10I should just go to her and...
01:08:12And just tell her how you feel.
01:08:18Evan, hi, it's Laurel.
01:08:20When you get this message,
01:08:22can you meet me at the flower shop?
01:08:24I've made my decision.
01:08:38I came as soon as I got your message.
01:08:42So?
01:08:44What did you decide?
01:08:46Evan,
01:08:48you are a wonderful guy.
01:08:50And I'd be so lucky
01:08:52to be married to you.
01:08:56But I don't want to stop you from realizing your dreams.
01:08:58You are part of my dreams.
01:09:00I'm not.
01:09:02I'm not.
01:09:04I mean, we barely even know each other.
01:09:06And...
01:09:08I think we were both just looking for...
01:09:10someone.
01:09:12And that's why this was so rushed.
01:09:14I mean, I know we don't
01:09:16know each other that well, but...
01:09:18I'm really sorry.
01:09:36I'm sorry.
01:09:52How many times did we go over this?
01:09:54And what color are these plates?
01:09:56I want dove white that looks like
01:09:58linen white or something.
01:10:00I mean, how complicated is this?
01:10:02I don't really understand why this is so difficult.
01:10:04Do not laugh at me!
01:10:06He's laughing at me. I do not want him
01:10:08serving at my wedding!
01:10:26Where have you been?
01:10:28Oh, Evan and Steven. I don't know.
01:10:30I don't even really want to talk about it.
01:10:32Yeah, I'm fine.
01:10:34Is everything okay here?
01:10:36Oh, you mean with Bridezilla?
01:10:38She's on the rampage right now, I'm telling you.
01:10:40I was worried about that.
01:10:42Apparently the ribbons on the ring bearer's pillow
01:10:44doesn't match the ribbon on the garter belt.
01:10:46She's freaking out.
01:10:48Well, where's Rose?
01:10:50Over there.
01:10:52What do you mean you ran out of caviar?
01:10:54I placed this order six months ago.
01:10:56I'm going to need to speak
01:10:58to your manager immediately.
01:11:04Where have you been?
01:11:06So, what happened with Steven?
01:11:08I went to see him and...
01:11:12Nana, he's in love with Victoria.
01:11:14Oh.
01:11:16I don't want to talk about it, okay?
01:11:18We only have an hour, so let's get going.
01:11:20Come on, it's okay.
01:11:22Rose.
01:11:24I am not dancing
01:11:26to a DJ.
01:11:28No, I asked for a band.
01:11:34Oh, my God.
01:11:40Is everything okay?
01:11:42Okay.
01:11:46It's...
01:11:48amazing.
01:11:50I like it.
01:11:52I love it.
01:11:54It's beautiful.
01:11:56You are a genius.
01:12:00Oh, God, this is going to be
01:12:02the most beautiful wedding ever.
01:12:04Just like I always dreamed of.
01:12:06Thank you.
01:12:08You're welcome.
01:12:10Thank you.
01:12:12I know I've been a pain, and I am sorry.
01:12:14I just...
01:12:16I wanted this day to be perfect,
01:12:18and now I know that it will be.
01:12:22I'm going to go upstairs
01:12:24and finish getting ready, fix my makeup.
01:12:34I will go get the bouquet.
01:12:36Okay, thank you.
01:12:38So, what happened?
01:12:40Well, I guess she realized it wasn't worth it
01:12:42to ruin her own wedding day.
01:12:44Isn't it funny how people get so upset
01:12:46about things?
01:12:48I know.
01:12:50So...
01:12:52when are you going to tell me
01:12:54what happened to Steven?
01:12:58It's not going to work out, Nana.
01:13:00Oh, sweetie, I'm so sorry.
01:13:02Don't be.
01:13:04It's not your fault.
01:13:06But you need to promise me
01:13:08no more meddling.
01:13:10I promise.
01:13:12I gave the ring back.
01:13:14You can call me crazy, but I don't want to be married
01:13:16to someone
01:13:18just for the sake of being married.
01:13:22I want love.
01:13:24You know, passionate,
01:13:26crazy, romantic
01:13:28love.
01:13:30Just like in the novels.
01:13:32I know just what you mean, sweetheart.
01:13:34You do.
01:13:44Yellow tulips.
01:13:48Declaration of Hopeless Love.
01:13:50Where did these come from?
01:13:52I thought they were for me.
01:13:54The flower girl
01:13:56is Laurel.
01:14:00Why didn't you tell her about me?
01:14:02You know why? Our non-disclosure agreement.
01:14:04Well, forget about the agreement. You have to tell her the truth.
01:14:06I will. I will. Come on. We've got to get to the flower store.
01:14:08All right.
01:14:14All right.
01:14:28Ah, she isn't here.
01:14:30There's nobody here.
01:14:32Well, where else could she be?
01:14:34It's Saturday night. She's probably at a wedding. Come on. I think I know where.
01:14:36Okay. Come on.
01:14:44How are you?
01:14:46Come inside.
01:14:48Thanks.
01:14:50Come on.
01:15:14Wait a minute. Wait a minute.
01:15:16I think I saw her van. Back up a bit.
01:15:20Okay.
01:15:28This is it. That's her van.
01:15:30Okay.
01:15:32I've got to hurry.
01:15:34What's the rush? It's not like she's the one getting married.
01:15:36I don't want to fall in love with someone else.
01:15:38Weddings are a great place to meet someone.
01:15:40Good point.
01:15:42Go ahead. I'll catch up with you.
01:15:50Come on.
01:16:04Ladies and gentlemen, we are gathered here today
01:16:06to unite this man and this woman
01:16:08in holy matrimony.
01:16:10We are gathered here today
01:16:12before God...
01:16:20...for the love that our creator shares with us
01:16:22and desires us to fully experience...
01:16:32...we offer praise and thanks to God...
01:16:34What are you doing here?
01:16:36You came by my house today
01:16:38to deliver flowers?
01:16:40Yes, I came by to see you,
01:16:42but you were otherwise engaged.
01:16:44You need to listen to me.
01:16:46It's not how it looks.
01:16:48I'm not engaged.
01:16:50I'm not seeing anyone.
01:16:52You're not.
01:16:54No. And she's not Victoria Darling.
01:16:56Yes, she is.
01:16:58I recognize her from the back of the books.
01:17:00No, she isn't.
01:17:02I'm Victoria Darling.
01:17:04What?
01:17:06Victoria Darling is a pen name.
01:17:08It's a pseudonym.
01:17:10I've written all her books.
01:17:12Love's Burning Fire, Rose and the Rogue,
01:17:14Wayward Wench,
01:17:16Passion's Darkest Flower.
01:17:18It's all me.
01:17:22So you're a romance novelist.
01:17:24Yeah.
01:17:28I was just out of college
01:17:30and I was working at a publishing company
01:17:32as an intern
01:17:34when my boss was looking for a ghostwriter
01:17:36for a book idea she had.
01:17:38I mean, the next thing you know,
01:17:40the book's a bestseller, and bam,
01:17:42I got a career.
01:17:44She said nobody would want to buy romance novels
01:17:46written by some guy, so we invented Victoria Darling.
01:17:48Who is we?
01:17:54She's my publisher.
01:17:56Her real name is Elsie Giddens.
01:17:58We come up with the story ideas together
01:18:00and I do the writing.
01:18:02And I do all the book signings and the publicity.
01:18:04I don't believe you.
01:18:10I can prove it to you.
01:18:18He strode across the castle floor to her
01:18:20and held her in his arms.
01:18:22She struggled for a moment
01:18:24against him.
01:18:26And then,
01:18:28she said,
01:18:30I don't believe you.
01:18:32She held him against him
01:18:34and he could feel her heart
01:18:36beating like a wild bird.
01:18:38She knew she should hate this man,
01:18:40the man who'd taken her
01:18:42from everything she knew.
01:18:46But all she could feel for him
01:18:52was a smoldering passion.
01:18:54And suddenly...
01:18:56Okay, I believe you now.
01:19:02I now pronounce you
01:19:04man and wife.
01:19:32APPLAUSE
01:20:02MUSIC
01:20:20So,
01:20:22despite what every daytime television
01:20:24talk show host would have you believe
01:20:26about life in the 21st century,
01:20:28my fairytale romance became reality.
01:20:32We didn't elope
01:20:34like both of us had planned,
01:20:36although a wedding chapel ceremony in Las Vegas
01:20:38did have its appeal.
01:20:40Instead,
01:20:42we got to share our wedding day
01:20:44with everyone we love.
01:20:46My Laika sister best friend, Brooke,
01:20:48was my matron of honor.
01:20:50Evangeline, my very own fairy godmother,
01:20:52made my wedding dress for me.
01:20:54Nana was accompanied by Gavin
01:20:56at our wedding.
01:20:58Her own white knight.
01:21:00All together was the other true romance
01:21:02that played out on my wedding day.
01:21:06Oh, my loving Nana.
01:21:08No matter how much
01:21:10I thought she shouldn't do anything more
01:21:12than enjoy the day she insisted
01:21:14on handling the flowers herself.
01:21:16Victoria Darling,
01:21:18or should I say Elsie,
01:21:20was there, of course, taking notes.
01:21:22In an unsurprising case
01:21:24of life imitating art,
01:21:26Victoria started the next day
01:21:28writing her very own modern day romance novel
01:21:30based on the story of Stephen and me.
01:21:32Just like Cinderella,
01:21:34Sleeping Beauty,
01:21:36and Snow White,
01:21:38Stephen and I found true love at last.
01:21:40I believe in love at first sight.
01:21:42I believe in
01:21:44matches made in heaven.
01:21:46I believe in happily ever after.
01:21:48I now pronounce you
01:21:50husband
01:21:52and wife.
01:21:54You may kiss the bride.
01:21:58Hey!
01:22:12Hey!
01:22:14Congratulations!
01:22:18Thank you.
01:22:20Thank you.
01:22:28Thank you.
01:22:40Yeah!
01:22:48In the end,
01:22:50there's only one happiness,
01:22:52and that happiness is to love
01:22:54and be loved.
01:22:56If you follow your heart.
