Short filmTranscript
00:00:00It's time for bridal boot camp.
00:00:05Brooke, it's so early.
00:00:07Come on.
00:00:09Okay, just give me a sec, okay?
00:00:11Let's go.
00:00:13Come on, come on, come on.
00:00:15So as soon as James finishes the Clayton case, we're going to leave for our honeymoon.
00:00:20I can't believe I let you talk me into this.
00:00:22I didn't think we'd have to start so early.
00:00:24I was at a wedding till three in the morning.
00:00:26Oh my God, speaking of weddings, you're not going to believe what happened.
00:00:28What?
00:00:29Wendy and Kevin got engaged.
00:00:31When?
00:00:32Yesterday, apparently.
00:00:34I mean, he took her for this walk in the woods and proposed next to an old stone church.
00:00:38I mean, how cute is that?
00:00:40It's very cute, but I just can't help but think I'm now the only one in our graduating class who's not married.
00:00:46What?
00:00:47Am I doing something wrong?
00:00:50I don't think you're doing anything wrong.
00:00:52I just think that you tend to pick these guys that 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 if 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, or being a wedding photographer.
00:01:11That's funny.
00:01:12Look, you know a guy is ready for a commitment if he brings up subjects like marriage and children.
00:01:18Or, you know, 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.
00:01:26Period.
00:01:27No excuses.
00:01:49Rose's turn.
00:01:50Hi, honey.
00:01:51Hey, Nana.
00:01:52I'm here at the clinic.
00:01:55Get well, okay.
00:01:57But I'll be back soon.
00:01:59So, how's it going there?
00:02:01Great, just finishing up the Chase Kelly wedding.
00:02:03Fantastic.
00:02:05So, how'd your date go last night?
00:02:08Nana, it wasn't a date.
00:02:10We just went for coffee.
00:02:11And?
00:02:12And, you know, he was nice.
00:02:14But there wasn't really any spark.
00:02:16Well, honey, now you've got to give him another chance.
00:02:18Because he's a family man.
00:02:20He's solid, dependable.
00:02:22And he gives a lot of time doing volunteer charity work.
00:02:25Nana, he's a divorced car salesman.
00:02:28And he wouldn't even pay for my coffee.
00:02:30Oh.
00:02:31Well, and anyway, I told you.
00:02:33No more fix-ups.
00:02:34They never work.
00:02:36Just got to give it time, darling.
00:02:38I want to find someone for you.
00:02:39No, you don't need to find anyone for me, okay?
00:02:42Bye-bye, darling.
00:02:43Bye.
00:02:46No, no problem.
00:02:48These are for Mrs. Sullivan?
00:02:50Those are beautiful.
00:02:52Syringa vulgaris, uh,
00:02:55Eustoma grandiflorum, and
00:02:57Pionia lactiflora.
00:03:00Oh.
00:03:01You 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.
00:03:10It's a pleasure.
00:03:11For me, too, Rose.
00:03:13So, uh, so tell me, doctor.
00:03:17How long have you and your wife been living here in Willowfield?
00:03:20No, I'm not married.
00:03:23Oh.
00:03:25Hmm.
00:03:26I-I tell you that he is the one.
00:03:29He's a doctor.
00:03:30He's charming.
00:03:32He knows all about flowers.
00:03:34And he wants to meet me.
00:03:35No, he doesn't want to meet me.
00:03:37He was just being polite.
00:03:38No, I showed him your picture, and he was not being polite.
00:03:41He 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.
00:03:56To love and to be loved.
00:03:58Yes, but love isn't like buying a car or getting an apartment.
00:04:01No, it's not like that.
00:04:03It's-it's like flower arranging.
00:04:06Sometimes you just know which flowers go together.
00:04:09Compliment each other.
00:04:11Nana, I'm going to meet someone.
00:04:13The best place to meet someone is at a wedding,
00:04:15and 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.
00:04:39Yeah, that way you're not wasting valuable time
00:04:41on a guy who doesn't even want to get married in the first place.
00:04:44What are you girls talking about?
00:04:46Some article that Brooke read in a magazine.
00:04:49It doesn't sound very romantic to me.
00:04:51Exactly my point, Evangeline.
00:04:53You girls.
00:04:55Okay, you just need to start thinking of dating as more like a job interview.
00:04:59Okay, and less like some sort of-
00:05:01Falling in love?
00:05:02No.
00:05:04I'm just saying, try to meet someone who wants the same thing that you want.
00:05:08That's all.
00:05:09I don't even know what I want.
00:05:10You know exactly what you want.
00:05:12A big, white, beautiful wedding with a Cinderella dress
00:05:16and enough flowers to make the rose parade look like our 8th grade graduation.
00:05:20I mean, I do so many weddings.
00:05:22I always thought I would just elope.
00:05:23You don't want to elope.
00:05:25You want to meet your prince charming, get married,
00:05:27and most importantly, you want me to be the maid of honor.
00:05:30You promised me.
00:05:32Of course.
00:05:39You can stay with me now. You'll be fine.
00:05:41Okay.
00:05:45Brooke, you look so amazing.
00:05:47Oh, thank you, Tabitha.
00:05:50You're welcome.
00:05:51You look incredible. Are you so excited?
00:05:53I am. I'm really excited.
00:05:55I mean, this is just like a dream come true.
00:05:58I'm so happy.
00:06:00So, Laura, could you make my wedding just as magical as this one?
00:06:03Absolutely.
00:06:05Well, not just as magical. Come on.
00:06:09Okay, can I just see that ring one more time?
00:06:11Yes, please.
00:06:12Because it is so fabulous.
00:06:13I mean, if you must.
00:06:14Wow.
00:06:16That's amazing. You must have been so surprised.
00:06:18Yeah, I was.
00:06:20I was starting to think I was going to get old by myself
00:06:22waiting for my prince who wouldn't come, you know what I mean?
00:06:28James, you may now place the ring on Brooke's finger.
00:06:38Brooke, you may now place the ring on James' finger.
00:06:51And I now pronounce you husband and wife.
00:06:54And I now pronounce you husband and wife.
00:07:07You know those saws they sell that have paintings on them?
00:07:09You know, like, Cabin in the Woods, Bears by a River, that kind of thing?
00:07:12Mm-hmm.
00:07:13That's what I do.
00:07:14Oh.
00:07:15Paint saws.
00:07:16Wow, that's so interesting.
00:07:18I love kids, which is a good thing,
00:07:20because I've been crashing with my sister and her four kids for a while.
00:07:23I'm trying to save up for a new motorcycle.
00:07:26Awesome.
00:07:28Yeah, sure, being an investment banker is tough,
00:07:31but, you know, that's why I got the second home by the lake.
00:07:34Get away from all the stress.
00:07:36Wow, that sounds lovely.
00:07:40Okay, are you guys ready for the bouquet toss?
00:07:43Come on.
00:07:45Ah!
00:07:56Sorry, I, she was just a little bit faster than I was.
00:07:58Oh, that's all right.
00:07:59I almost, I almost had it.
00:08:00So close.
00:08:03Big morning, sweetie.
00:08:05So you didn't meet anybody at Brooke's wedding, huh?
00:08:10Well, you're the lot more nice young man in Willowfield.
00:08:14Okay, Nana, maybe we could just talk about something else this morning,
00:08:18like current events or the weather.
00:08:21Oh, what about that doctor who wanted to meet you?
00:08:24Maybe we could give him a call, see if he wants to get together?
00:08:27I will meet someone when the time is right.
00:08:29The time is now.
00:08:31Maybe you could take a vacation to one of those island resorts with old single men?
00:08:36Where people smell like coconut oil in desperation?
00:08:39No, thank you.
00:08:41The internet.
00:08:42I know at least five happily married couples who've met online.
00:08:45No, no way.
00:08:47Nana, this is not how the great loves met.
00:08:50Antony and Cleopatra were not set up on a blind date,
00:08:53and Romeo and Juliet didn't go on some silly singles cruise together.
00:08:57No, they met each other, and they knew this is the person
00:09:00they were going to spend the rest of their lives with.
00:09:03Sweetie, you're overlooking the fact that these are not real people.
00:09:06They're characters in a book.
00:09:08No, maybe I read too many books.
00:09:10Maybe so.
00:09:12Maybe so.
00:09:34Yes, absolutely, we will have the flowers there by noon as promised.
00:09:38Okay, thank you. I'm so excited.
00:09:41Your wedding is going to be fantastic.
00:09:43Thanks, Laurel.
00:09:44Okay, we will see you on Saturday. Bye-bye.
00:09:46Good morning. How can I help you?
00:09:48By chance, do you have a grandmother named Rose?
00:09:51Yes, I do.
00:09:53You're even more beautiful in person.
00:09:55By the way, I'm Dr. Cooper.
00:09:57Evan.
00:09:58Laurel Haverford.
00:10:00She promised me her granddaughter would be calling me.
00:10:03I'm sorry about that.
00:10:05My grandma's a little obsessed with finding me a man.
00:10:08Well, maybe she has.
00:10:16I just knew you two would hit it off. I just knew it.
00:10:19He was lovely. You were right.
00:10:22The three favorite words in the English language,
00:10:25next to I love you.
00:10:27Okay, Nana, don't get too excited, though.
00:10:29He said he would call and that maybe we'd go for coffee.
00:10:32Besides, I need to focus on the wedding.
00:10:47Laurel, always making sure
00:10:49that everyone else's wedding is unforgettably beautiful.
00:10:52Well, I love what I do.
00:10:55Maybe real happiness will come soon
00:10:57than standing right there exchanging wedding vows
00:10:59with that special someone.
00:11:01Well, I have to find him first, Pastor.
00:11:03Maybe he'll find you.
00:11:13So, uh, do you happen to know where the best man is?
00:11:16He's over there.
00:11:18Great. Thank you.
00:11:21Excuse me. Are you the best man?
00:11:27Which brings us to the question,
00:11:29how does a love story begin?
00:11:31Now, in the case of the bride and groom,
00:11:33we have conflicting reports.
00:11:35According to him, it was love at first sight.
00:11:38He looked up, and there she was,
00:11:40the girl he knew he would marry.
00:11:42Naturally, she was seeing someone else.
00:11:45She didn't even remember sitting next to him.
00:11:47Naturally, she was seeing someone else.
00:11:49She didn't even remember sitting next to him
00:11:51at Peter's barbecue, even though he managed
00:11:53to somehow set himself on fire
00:11:55by passing too close to a tiki torch.
00:11:57Oh, no.
00:11:59It's the wedding toast.
00:12:01It's supposed to be funny, right?
00:12:03Or should I be more serious?
00:12:05No, I think you should start off funny
00:12:07and end on a serious note.
00:12:09That's exactly what I was thinking.
00:12:11So, what happened to your friend,
00:12:13the one with the tiki torches?
00:12:15I put my margarita on him.
00:12:17You know, I think it would be funnier
00:12:19if it was a pina colada.
00:12:21A pina colada, that's good.
00:12:23I should have you edit my next book.
00:12:25You're a writer?
00:12:27Yeah, you wouldn't have heard of me, though.
00:12:29Um, Stephen Banks.
00:12:31Laurel Haverford.
00:12:33Pleasure.
00:12:35I got your boutonniere.
00:12:37Ah, yeah.
00:12:39God, I'm terrible at those things.
00:12:41Always end up pricking my fingers.
00:12:43Sure.
00:12:45Thanks.
00:12:47You have a lovely town here.
00:12:49Lakes, the hills.
00:12:51Reminds me of the English countryside.
00:12:53You're not from here?
00:12:55No, no, I'm from Cedarbrook.
00:12:57Uh, no, are you okay?
00:12:59Yeah, yeah, I'm fine.
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.
00:13:11They're works of art.
00:13:13Thanks.
00:13:15Uh, we better get back to work.
00:13:17It was great meeting you.
00:13:19You too.
00:13:21Maybe we can see each other later?
00:13:23Yeah.
00:13:25Okay.
00:13:29Pretty girl.
00:13:31Should I be jealous?
00:13:33I don't know.
00:13:35Should you?
00:13:37You are impossible.
00:13:39She didn't even remember
00:13:41sitting next to him at Peter's barbecue,
00:13:43even though he managed to actually set himself on fire
00:13:45by passing too close to a tiki-toker.
00:13:51Luckily, I threw my pina colada on him.
00:13:53He was fine.
00:13:57But seriously, Bill, Stephanie,
00:13:59you're gonna have a wonderful life together.
00:14:01Everybody, let's stand up.
00:14:03Have a toast to the happy couple.
00:14:05To Bill and Stephanie.
00:14:07To the happy couple.
00:14:09To Bill and Stephanie.
00:14:25Okay, Tom. Okay, Tom.
00:14:37Okay.
00:14:41Go get it!
00:15:07Where am I?
00:15:09The honeymoon suite.
00:15:15I ordered champagne,
00:15:17or would you prefer a pina colada?
00:15:19Very funny.
00:15:21Seriously, though, are you okay?
00:15:23Yeah, I just, um...
00:15:25I didn't really eat very much today,
00:15:27so I think I have low blood sugar.
00:15:29Well, in that case,
00:15:31you're definitely gonna want one of these.
00:15:33Oh.
00:15:35No?
00:15:37No.
00:15:39You know I've been looking for you all evening.
00:15:41You have?
00:15:43Please, tell me you're okay.
00:15:45You're not gonna sue us, are you?
00:15:47Of course not. No, no, it was an accident.
00:15:49I'm so sorry
00:15:51that I'm in your room
00:15:53with your bouquet.
00:15:55Keep it. That bouquet was meant for you.
00:15:57Thanks.
00:16:01I'm gonna get back to work.
00:16:03Let me help you down the stairs.
00:16:05Oh, no, I'm fine.
00:16:07Are you sure?
00:16:09Yes, thank you.
00:16:17Please, Laurel.
00:16:19Wait.
00:16:21The night is still young.
00:16:23May I have this dance?
00:16:25Here?
00:16:27Well, the song will be over
00:16:29by the time we get to the actual dance floor,
00:16:31and I'm not much of a dancer.
00:16:33It's okay.
00:16:35I can fake it pretty good.
00:16:39This is better than faking it.
00:16:41Where did you learn how to dance?
00:16:43Argentina.
00:16:45It's research for a book.
00:16:47♪ I'm gonna let you be
00:16:50♪ I'm gonna let you be
00:16:52♪ I'm gonna let you be
00:16:54♪ I'm gonna let you be
00:16:56♪ I'm gonna let you be
00:16:58♪ Thoughts are moving fast
00:17:00♪ Dreaming of the past
00:17:02♪ How long did it last
00:17:04♪ Till you blasted off into space
00:17:10♪ You had me having fun
00:17:12♪ Underneath the sun
00:17:15Of course.
00:17:21It was really nice meeting you, Laura.
00:17:23You too.
00:17:26Hope we can see each other again.
00:17:28♪ Out of a dream
00:17:30♪ Catch a little thrill
00:17:32♪ Oh, three
00:17:36♪ Gonna let you be
00:17:41Oh!
00:17:43I mean, it was amazing.
00:17:45It was amazing.
00:17:47We had this connection, you know?
00:17:49And the way he held me when we danced.
00:17:52I know this sounds crazy,
00:17:54but I think he could be the one.
00:17:57The one?
00:17:59But I thought you said that he was just in town for the wedding, right?
00:18:01So?
00:18:03Well, come on. I mean, he's just in town for the wedding.
00:18:06He's, what, some freelancer who doesn't even have a real job?
00:18:09How many red flags do you need?
00:18:11I know, but we really clicked.
00:18:13Doesn't that count for something?
00:18:15He didn't even ask for your phone number, right?
00:18:17Good. He knows where I work.
00:18:19He could always just stop by.
00:18:21I-I don't think he's gonna do that.
00:18:23I mean, I finally have a romantic encounter with a guy, Brooke,
00:18:26and you're making it like you're not happy for me.
00:18:29No, I'm just looking out for you.
00:18:31Sigh.
00:18:56Hi.
00:19:06Hi.
00:19:08Hi.
00:19:26No new messages.
00:19:38No new messages.
00:20:01Here are your flowers.
00:20:03Thank you, Laurel.
00:20:20Good morning. How can I help you?
00:20:22Are you Laurel?
00:20:24I am. I'm Kristen Somerset.
00:20:26Kristen. Of course.
00:20:28It's going to be a very big event,
00:20:30and flowers are an integral part of my vision.
00:20:32Absolutely. Okay, now, what kind of wedding are you thinking?
00:20:34Um, elegant, evening?
00:20:36Big and Scottish. We're having a big Highland wedding.
00:20:39Kilts, bagpipes, haggis, thistles, the works.
00:20:42So you're Scottish.
00:20:44Nah, I just thought it'd be cool to have a Scottish wedding.
00:20:46But, you know, with some American-style bells and whistles.
00:20:49I brought my inspiration board with me.
00:20:51You know, to get things rolling.
00:20:53You have an inspiration board?
00:20:55Yes.
00:20:57This will give you a sense of what I want.
00:20:59You get the idea.
00:21:01I'll be wearing a cream gown with a 20-foot train and a veil,
00:21:04so I'm going to need a very impressive bouquet.
00:21:07Plus, 14 bridesmaid bouquets,
00:21:10seven flower girl baskets,
00:21:12a tossing bouquet, 15 boutonnieres,
00:21:1436 table arrangements,
00:21:1612 door pieces, a cake topper,
00:21:18and some potpourri for the bathrooms.
00:21:20Wow, you have really thought this out, Kristen.
00:21:22I have been planning my wedding since I was five.
00:21:26Okay, I'll call you.
00:21:28I am off to the Bahamas for a few days.
00:21:32I need to work on my tan.
00:21:34Of course. I feel really good about this.
00:21:36Me too. Later.
00:21:38Okay, bye.
00:21:44Thank you for waiting.
00:21:46No problem.
00:21:48It's nice to see you.
00:21:50You too.
00:21:52Interesting customers you get here.
00:21:54Yeah.
00:21:56Was that what is known as a bridezilla?
00:21:58It was, yes.
00:22:00Do you have time to get that coffee we talked about?
00:22:04Yeah, sure. Let me just grab my purse.
00:22:08So my grandma tells me you know a lot about plants.
00:22:12I thought it would be interesting to study plants
00:22:16so that I could research and identify natural compounds
00:22:20that could be used in medicines.
00:22:22I mean, there are literally thousands of plants
00:22:24in remote parts of the world
00:22:26that have yet to be evaluated for their medicinal potential,
00:22:28especially in the South American rainforest.
00:22:30Am I talking too much?
00:22:32No, not at all.
00:22:34I think it's amazing that you know all of this.
00:22:38So, how did you get into flowers?
00:22:40Well, my grandma's been in the business for over 40 years,
00:22:44so I just kind of picked it up from her.
00:22:46When I was little, that flower shop
00:22:48was pretty much the only place I wanted to be.
00:22:52It was like this magic place full of flowers and happiness.
00:22:56You had a wonderful childhood.
00:22:58Mostly.
00:23:00My parents died when I was younger,
00:23:02so my grandmother raised me.
00:23:04Losing a parent is difficult at any age.
00:23:10So, tell me, what is it like a day in the life of a florist?
00:23:15Busy.
00:23:17Most days I'm up at 5 when I go into the city
00:23:20to go to the flower markets.
00:23:22Then I come back to the shop, process the flowers,
00:23:24and set everything up,
00:23:26fluffing everything to make it look pretty.
00:23:28And then the phone starts ringing.
00:23:30And by 10, I'm normally on my fifth cup of coffee.
00:23:34I know what you mean.
00:23:36Oh, I'm talking too much. I'm sorry.
00:23:38No, no, not at all.
00:23:45You truly do look stunning tonight.
00:23:51So did you always know you wanted to be a doctor?
00:23:54Yes.
00:23:56As soon as I could talk, I asked my parents for a toy doctor set.
00:24:01I wore one of my dad's old white shirts as a lab coat,
00:24:04and when we had company, I'd go around
00:24:07testing everyone's reflexes and telling them to say,
00:24:10It's really cute.
00:24:12I even started taking pre-med classes
00:24:14while I was still in high school.
00:24:16Wow, your mom must be really proud of you.
00:24:18You know, my mother always said that she would be proud of me
00:24:23no matter what I wanted to do with my life.
00:24:26Wow, you two must be really close.
00:24:28Absolutely.
00:24:31And she can't wait to meet you.
00:24:34You told your mother about me?
00:24:36Sure.
00:24:38Talked to her almost every day.
00:24:40I couldn't exactly leave out the fact that I met a beautiful woman
00:24:45that you can't stop thinking about.
00:24:52Cheers.
00:25:01You were right.
00:25:03I mean, he's so intellectual and smart,
00:25:06and he really lets me know what he wants out of life.
00:25:09Really?
00:25:10Well, I mean, he's subtle about it,
00:25:12but he makes it clear that he wants a serious relationship
00:25:14and he won't be wasting my time.
00:25:16Oh, I knew it. I knew it.
00:25:18He's definitely a keeper.
00:25:20I mean, do you think that he's someone
00:25:22that you could really be serious about?
00:25:24Yeah, I do.
00:25:26I mean, I've never met someone
00:25:28who's made me feel so secure and comfortable.
00:25:33He even told his mother about me.
00:25:35Oh, my goodness.
00:25:37He must really be smitten.
00:25:39Did you kiss?
00:25:41Nana!
00:25:42Yeah.
00:25:44But you know when you first kiss someone
00:25:47and you have this flash-forward fantasy
00:25:50of how your lives are going to be?
00:25:52You know, you could see your wedding and your honeymoon
00:25:55and two adorable babies.
00:25:57Yes.
00:25:58It didn't happen.
00:26:00Oh, well, honey, you know,
00:26:03love isn't just like some magical force that overwhelms you.
00:26:07Sometimes it just takes time for you to realize
00:26:10that the right man for you is someone you never expected.
00:26:19Does that make sense to you, darling?
00:26:22Oh, Gavin. Oh, how nice.
00:26:25Hello, Rose. Hello, Laurel.
00:26:27Hello, Gavin.
00:26:28I figured it was time for a coffee break,
00:26:30so I brought you one light and sweet.
00:26:32Exactly. Thank you so much.
00:26:34Oh, you're welcome.
00:26:35I'm sorry. Laurel, I could go get you one.
00:26:38No need, Gavin. Let me grab your order.
00:26:40So, how are your day lilies doing?
00:26:43As I call them, deer candy.
00:26:46They're just fine.
00:26:47I took your advice.
00:26:49I spread the whole thing with hot pepper and soap water
00:26:52and so far, so good.
00:26:54The deer are gone.
00:26:56My hands are clean.
00:26:58My homemade guacamole's got an extra kick to it.
00:27:03Now, if I could just do something about the birds and the blueberries,
00:27:07the best thing to do is just pick them all and make a pie.
00:27:12Unfortunately, Jessica was a pie maker in the family.
00:27:16Here you are, Gavin.
00:27:18Should I just put it on your tab?
00:27:20Yes, thank you.
00:27:22Thank you for the coffee.
00:27:24You're welcome.
00:27:26Well, I won't take up any more of your time.
00:27:30Goodbye. Bye-bye, Gavin.
00:27:32Have a good day.
00:27:37Bye.
00:27:41That is such a sweet man.
00:27:43I can't believe that he still puts fresh roses on his wife's grave
00:27:47every week after all these years.
00:27:49He really is sweet.
00:27:51You know, we should find someone for him.
00:27:53Yeah, it's a shame that such a wonderful man is still single.
00:27:56But I really can't think of anybody that would be right for him.
00:28:07Let's go.
00:28:23Looking for a book to read?
00:28:25Stephen. Hi.
00:28:27Uh, no, I'm just browsing.
00:28:31How about this one?
00:28:33Oh, uh, Handsome Rogues.
00:28:36Tempestuous heroines.
00:28:38Pulse-pounding love scenes.
00:28:40This is pretty good stuff.
00:28:42Yeah, that's not really my thing.
00:28:44You don't like romance novels?
00:28:46Um, I just, I don't find them very believable.
00:28:48That's all.
00:28:50I like to stick to more serious fiction.
00:28:52What are you doing here anyway?
00:28:54Well, I find the used book table is an excellent place to meet beautiful women.
00:29:01So, I thought you were just in town for the wedding.
00:29:04I needed a quiet place to get some writing done,
00:29:07so I figured I'd stick around for a little while.
00:29:09What are you writing?
00:29:11Oh, no, no, I never talk about my work until I'm done.
00:29:13Why not?
00:29:15Writing's a very private process.
00:29:18Oh, I see.
00:29:20So, beer's still on page one?
00:29:24Maybe.
00:29:28I rented a house up here to finish my latest novel,
00:29:31and it's actually just up the road here.
00:29:33I'd love to show you if you've got the time.
00:29:35Okay.
00:29:38Here 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.
00:29:52He 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.
00:30:07You 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
00:30:19in spy novels and 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.
00:30:29Not even Tolstoy, the greatest writer ever,
00:30:31could figure out why women do what they do.
00:30:34But that's easy.
00:30:36Love.
00:30:52Wow.
00:30:54Xanthidesia 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
00:31:04with my command of Latin.
00:31:06On a more poetic note, you look lovely.
00:31:08Please, come in.
00:31:20You are welcome.
00:31:22White is fine?
00:31:24Yeah, absolutely. This place is great.
00:31:26I designed it myself.
00:31:28Salmon's fine?
00:31:30Atlantic? Fresh?
00:31:36I think we're fine.
00:31:38I would love to show you something this way.
00:31:41Okay.
00:31:46Oh, wow.
00:31:48I thought you would appreciate it.
00:31:50My orchid collection.
00:31:52Stunning.
00:31:55Here you go.
00:31:57Try this. It's ouzo.
00:31:59You ever had ouzo?
00:32:01No, I've never had it.
00:32:03A friend of mine brought it back from Greece for me.
00:32:05Oh.
00:32:07You don't like it?
00:32:09No, it's a little bit licorice-y.
00:32:11I love it.
00:32:13Yeah, most people do.
00:32:15I think I had a bad experience with black jelly beans
00:32:17when I was a little kid.
00:32:19Traumatized for life.
00:32:21Serious medical condition.
00:32:23Of course, of junior mints.
00:32:27I love spending time with you.
00:32:29I feel like we share something special.
00:32:32Yeah, so do I.
00:32:38So, what kind of wedding are you going to have?
00:32:41Who's the guy? How'd you meet?
00:32:43Well, believe it or not, we met at a wedding.
00:32:45Yes, my cousin had a destination wedding in Bermuda,
00:32:48and he was one of the groom's college friends,
00:32:50and we just looked at each other, and we knew.
00:32:52I mean, I couldn't believe it.
00:32:54Does that ever happen to you, where you just,
00:32:56you looked at someone, and you knew that it was the real thing?
00:33:02One sec.
00:33:04Um...
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? Sure.
00:33:14Okay, great. Thanks.
00:33:16Stephen, how are you?
00:33:18Well, just thought I'd come by and say hi.
00:33:21Hi.
00:33:23And to give you this.
00:33:35Rebecca.
00:33:37Well, I figured it was kind of pointless bringing you flowers.
00:33:40Yeah. Well, thank you.
00:33:42Listen, um, do you have time to go out for lunch?
00:33:45Oh, you know what? I'm a little busy right now.
00:33:48Oh, come on. You can take a couple hours off, surely.
00:33:51It's a beautiful day.
00:33:56Give me one second.
00:33:59So, Megan, let me see your inspiration board.
00:34:03Inspiration board? What's that?
00:34:05Wow. Um, you take different pictures from wedding magazines,
00:34:09and you glue them onto a poster board
00:34:11so I could see your dream wedding.
00:34:13I have never heard of that.
00:34:15I can't believe that. I mean, every bride seems to be doing it these days.
00:34:18Um, I tell you what. Why don't you take some bridal magazines home with you
00:34:22and make your inspiration board,
00:34:24and we'll meet back up in a couple weeks or whenever you're done.
00:34:27Okay, great. Wow. This is gonna be fun.
00:34:29Yeah. It certainly is.
00:34:35I was more of a chess player.
00:34:37Oh, let me guess. Research for a book?
00:34:39Exactly.
00:34:41Well, what do you write, anyway?
00:34:43Oh, no. I finally get a day off. I don't want to talk about work.
00:34:46Oh, come on. Just tell me.
00:34:48All in good time.
00:34:51I thought we were going to lunch.
00:34:53We are.
00:34:57Aww.
00:34:59Champagne?
00:35:01A picnic. That's so romantic.
00:35:06Yep. I actually had to make a flower arrangement for a cow's neck.
00:35:10The whole wedding was black-and-white cow print.
00:35:13And, um, oh, they had cheesecake instead of normal cake.
00:35:18And for their favors, they had these little tiny cheese graters
00:35:22that said, a great love on them.
00:35:24Oh.
00:35:25You get it?
00:35:26Yeah.
00:35:28But that was nothing compared to this biker wedding I did.
00:35:30Um, I had to coordinate the flowers with the bride's tattoos.
00:35:34And now I'm working on this wedding for this girl who wants it to be Scottish-themed,
00:35:39but she's not Scottish.
00:35:42But it sounds like you love what you do.
00:35:44Mm-hmm.
00:35:46You know, it's funny. You're basically someone's best friend for a couple of months,
00:35:50you know, helping them plan the most important day of their lives.
00:35:54And then they're gone. You move on to the next one.
00:35:59You ever thought about what you'll do for your own wedding?
00:36:02Come on. I know you have.
00:36:04Uh, I don't know.
00:36:06I guess if I ever get married, I would probably just...
00:36:10Elope?
00:36:12Yes. How did you know?
00:36:14Well, a wedding's a work for you.
00:36:16But packing a suitcase, running away to a distant land, that's romantic.
00:36:21Is that what you're going to do for your wedding?
00:36:23Absolutely. Well, if I get married.
00:36:26I mean, it sounds great in theory, but, um, I could never do that to Rose.
00:36:31You two are pretty close, huh?
00:36:33Yeah, my parents died when I was pretty young, so her and my grandpa raised me.
00:36:37And then when grandpa died, it was just her and I.
00:36:40I'm sorry. That must have been very tough for you.
00:36:42No, I was pretty young, and Rose gave me everything I needed.
00:36:47It wasn't until I got older that I started to realize what I was missing.
00:36:53Every time I see pictures of them, it just reminds me that they were real people that I'll never know.
00:37:00Is that what's in the locket? Pictures of your parents?
00:37:03Mm-hmm.
00:37:04Can I see?
00:37:05Sure.
00:37:10Wow.
00:37:30I should check, because they might close early.
00:37:40Um, how about dinner at my place some night?
00:37:45Um, okay. That'd be great.
00:37:48I'll call you.
00:37:49Okay.
00:37:52Oh, thank you so much for the book.
00:37:56You're welcome.
00:37:57And for the lovely time.
00:38:00Yeah, it was fun.
00:38:02Yeah, it was.
00:38:03I'll see you soon.
00:38:06Okay, bye.
00:38:19That's fine. Thanks, Sam.
00:38:20You're welcome.
00:38:21So, you just ran off with him in the middle of the day.
00:38:24So?
00:38:25Well, what if something happened to you?
00:38:27What? Nana, we were going on a picnic, not skydiving.
00:38:31Does Evan know you're running off with strange men?
00:38:33Evan and I have been on two dates. It's not like we're exclusive.
00:38:36Oh, honey, I just don't want you to miss a chance to be with somebody wonderful like Evan because of some struggling writer.
00:38:42He's not struggling.
00:38:44Well, he never tells you what he's working on. I 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. It's just Stephen and I have a connection.
00:38:57I just don't want you to be hurt.
00:38:59Nana, aren't you always telling me to hang out with other people? That's what I'm doing.
00:39:02Yes, but chances for real happiness don't come by five times a day like a crosstown bus.
00:39:10You sure about that?
00:39:11No, I just want you to give Evan another chance.
00:39:15Oh, Kevin. I didn't see you. Your flowers are ready.
00:39:19How are you today?
00:39:20I'm good.
00:39:21Good, good.
00:39:22How are you?
00:39:23I am flying to Buenos Aires next week. I have a job interview there.
00:39:27Oh, for what?
00:39:29Working for a pharmaceutical company that's trying to discover and synthesize new plant compounds for medicinal use.
00:39:37I'm surprised you never mentioned this before.
00:39:40Well, I didn't want to jinx it. I mean, this is my dream job.
00:39:45So if you get this job, does that mean you'll be moving?
00:39:48South America?
00:39:50For a couple years, yeah. But it would take a while to organize.
00:39:54I'd have to get visas and shots and working papers, all that.
00:40:03I want you to come with me.
00:40:13Oh, my God. Honey, do you know what this means?
00:40:15What?
00:40:16He's going to ask you to marry him.
00:40:18No, he's not.
00:40:19Yes, yes, he is. Trust me, when a man sees the woman that he's going to marry for the first time, he just knows.
00:40:24Really?
00:40:25Okay, what color are you going to have your bridesmaids wear? Because I just need you to know I don't look good in yellow.
00:40:29Okay, Brooke, stop.
00:40:30Any other color is fine. Trust me, please.
00:40:31Brooke, stop. Please. Okay, I don't even know how I feel about this yet.
00:40:35Honey, a handsome doctor wants to marry you and whisk you off for a life of adventure and romance, and you don't know how you feel about that?
00:40:42Okay, but don't forget I also have a handsome writer who's interested in spending time with me as well.
00:40:47Okay, well, you know what? You need to figure out if Stephen is serious or not, because Evan is going to close the deal as soon as he gets back.
00:40:53What am I supposed to do, sit Stephen down and ask him if he's ready for marriage and children?
00:40:57No, you don't have to do that. Just get him to start talking about his future and say what he says.
00:41:13You look beautiful.
00:41:19Did you know that in Victorian times, to bring someone red tulips was a passionate declaration of love?
00:41:24The black center was supposed to represent a lover's heart, burned to a coal by love's passion.
00:41:29They also mean fame. I thought you might like that.
00:41:33I'm not famous.
00:41:36You know, I was lucky you didn't bring me yellow tulips.
00:41:38Why?
00:41:40Well, they mean to declare your love hopelessly and utterly, and to throw yourself at the mercy of your lover.
00:41:47I can see how that would be a little much for a Tuesday night.
00:41:50A little bit.
00:41:52This is really good.
00:41:54It's good.
00:41:56It's good.
00:41:58It's good.
00:42:00It's good.
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.
00:42:11Where'd you learn how to cook like this?
00:42:13The court on Blue in Paris.
00:42:15Let me guess. Was it research for a book?
00:42:18That's right.
00:42:20If writing doesn't work out, you could always be a chef.
00:42:22I could never stop writing.
00:42:24I love the freedom it gives me. I can be anyone. I can just pack up and go anywhere, on my research.
00:42:30I'm glad you finally had a free night so we could do this.
00:42:33Me too.
00:42:35You're a very busy lady, it seems.
00:42:37Well, you know, I have lots of weddings and stuff like that.
00:42:42I was beginning to think maybe I had a rival.
00:42:45And if you did?
00:42:47I'd have to 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?
00:42:57Someday.
00:43:00You're a very mysterious man, you know that?
00:43:03Mysterious? Really?
00:43:05Yeah.
00:43:06Bah.
00:43:07Well, they say when a man is mysterious it's because he's harboring a terrible secret.
00:43:13I think you've been reading too many books.
00:43:29Thank you. Have a good day.
00:43:47Thank you, Laurel.
00:43:49Very pretty.
00:43:51Oh, there you are.
00:43:56Where were you last night?
00:43:58We missed you at the book club meeting.
00:44:01Oh, that's right. It was Tuesday.
00:44:03I made your favorite key lime bars.
00:44:05The ones with the toasted coconut on top.
00:44:08Well, I was actually having dinner with Stephen.
00:44:12Stephen?
00:44:14Oh, honey.
00:44:15What happened to Evan?
00:44:17Nana, I told you he had to go to South America.
00:44:20Oh, sweetheart.
00:44:22I know it's your life, but you're wasting your time with this Stephen fellow.
00:44:26I mean, he's not looking for anything serious.
00:44:29Has he even told you that he's not dating other women?
00:44:31Nana.
00:44:32Whereas Evan has always been right up front with you about his intentions.
00:44:37You'll have to ask yourself, what do I really want in a relationship?
00:44:42Now, sit down. Make a list. Two columns.
00:44:45Maybe you can do different colored pens.
00:44:48Okay, hello.
00:44:50Good morning, Rose.
00:44:51Yeah, good morning.
00:44:53I want to get some flowers for Nikki's teacher.
00:44:55Are she suggesting things?
00:45:04It was perfect.
00:45:06I mean, you know when you first kiss a guy
00:45:09and you have like this flash forward fantasy about how your lives are going to be together
00:45:14and you can see your wedding day and your honeymoon and adorable little babies?
00:45:20God, I don't remember any of that.
00:45:22You didn't have that with James?
00:45:23Well, I mean, you know, James and I have been dating since I was in high school,
00:45:26so I'm kind of too far past that stage to really remember any of it.
00:45:30But when Stephen kissed me, Brooke, it was like I felt like I could do it forever.
00:45:36And he's all into poetry and love.
00:45:39Okay, but what about Evan?
00:45:41I like Evan.
00:45:43But Stephen and I, we just have a connection.
00:45:48I just wish he was more honest about what he does all day.
00:45:52No, he won't tell me anything.
00:45:53I don't know what he's writing, where he's working.
00:45:55He says he's always moving around.
00:45:57Okay, well, that's a red flag.
00:45:59I know.
00:46:00I mean, I even looked him up on the internet.
00:46:01I couldn't find one thing about him.
00:46:03It's like he's an invisible man or something.
00:46:07So what do you think I should do?
00:46:08Who should I choose?
00:46:09Well, I think you should go for both.
00:46:12Both?
00:46:13Yes.
00:46:14Keep dating the charming, mysterious guy,
00:46:16but also date the doctor guy on the side just in case.
00:46:19It's perfect.
00:46:22Okay.
00:46:28I can't believe it.
00:46:29It's a total disaster.
00:46:30Well, she's gone on a few dates with this writer fellow.
00:46:33What's wrong with that?
00:46:34He's charming, handsome.
00:46:36My point, exactly.
00:46:37She's going to fall madly in love with him.
00:46:39He's going to break up with her in a few months.
00:46:41Meanwhile, Evan will have slipped through her fingers.
00:46:45Rose, it's her life.
00:46:47Let her live it.
00:46:48I can't help it.
00:46:49Laurel is a very sweet girl,
00:46:51but she is just too much of a dreamer.
00:46:54I'm afraid she's going to miss out on life.
00:46:56Love.
00:46:57Real love.
00:46:58You know, with a man who cares about her.
00:47:01Oh, my God.
00:47:03There he is.
00:47:04Tell me about it.
00:47:05Who?
00:47:06The man who is threatening to undermine my entire plan.
00:47:10Who's the lady?
00:47:12Who cares?
00:47:13She's not Laurel.
00:47:17What are you doing?
00:47:18I'm going to 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.
00:47:27It's you.
00:47:28Oh, Drat.
00:47:30I have to get this picture.
00:47:33If I could just show Laurel.
00:47:35Show her what?
00:47:36Some lousy cell phone picture?
00:47:38No, she has to see that this guy is playing the field.
00:47:42She's going to have to make up her own mind about him.
00:47:44Let it go.
00:47:45I can't. Laurel is everything to me.
00:47:48She's my whole life.
00:47:49I lost my husband, my daughter, everything.
00:47:52I have to protect her.
00:47:54From what?
00:47:55Life.
00:47:56I don't want her to end up all alone.
00:47:58No husband, no family.
00:48:02I can't let that happen.
00:48:04What's the name?
00:48:05I know.
00:48:22Hi, Stephen.
00:48:24I'm Rose Durham, Laurel's grandmother.
00:48:26Oh, hello.
00:48:27Oh, please, please, come on in.
00:48:28No, no, no, no. I'm going to get right to the point.
00:48:32You seem like a very wonderful, charming man.
00:48:37It's always nice to hear.
00:48:38But, you see, that is part of the problem.
00:48:41I know you're seeing my granddaughter.
00:48:43Yes, but don't worry.
00:48:46I don't think it's serious yet.
00:48:48You see that?
00:48:49That's what I'm worried about.
00:48:51I don't know if I know what you mean.
00:48:53I know. It's odd.
00:48:55But, you see, I'm an old lady.
00:48:58I'm a widow.
00:48:59I've got my shop and my granddaughter.
00:49:02And all I want in this world is for her to be happy.
00:49:06I think she is happy.
00:49:08Well, yes, she's happy right now.
00:49:09But what I mean is long-term happiness.
00:49:14Settle down with a man who loves her.
00:49:17A man she can rely on.
00:49:20Does she know that you're here?
00:49:22No, of course not.
00:49:23Now, I know far be it for me to meddle in the affairs of young people,
00:49:28but I think you should know that she already has a man like that in her life.
00:49:34She's seen someone else?
00:49:35Yes. And they're quite serious.
00:49:38Practically engaged, if you must know.
00:49:42Thank you for letting me know.
00:49:44You're welcome.
00:49:59Okay, thanks a lot.
00:50:01See you later.
00:50:07Rose's turn.
00:50:08Hi.
00:50:09Stephen, I thought that might be you.
00:50:11Hey, Laurel. How are you?
00:50:13Um, I'm good.
00:50:15I was just finishing up with the Harris wedding flowers.
00:50:17I'm going to go home and change, and then I'll see you at the reception.
00:50:20Okay.
00:50:21Bye.
00:50:22Bye.
00:50:23Bye.
00:50:24Bye.
00:50:25Bye.
00:50:26I'm going to go home and change, and then I'll see you at the restaurant around 8.
00:50:29That's why I'm calling, actually.
00:50:31What do you mean?
00:50:32I don't think I can make it tonight.
00:50:34Oh, um, what's the matter?
00:50:38Nothing. I just got a lot of writing to do.
00:50:41I got to hand this manuscript in next week, and I'm just too far behind.
00:50:44I probably wouldn't be much fun anyway.
00:50:46Are you sure you're okay?
00:50:47Absolutely.
00:50:49I just got to lock myself in a room and work for a few days, you know?
00:50:52No, I understand.
00:50:54Good luck.
00:50:55Thanks.
00:50:56Bye.
00:51:17Hey, Mom and Dad.
00:51:21Why does love have to be so hard?
00:51:26How come I can't find someone easily like you guys did?
00:51:32You know, you just met, you fell in love, you got married.
00:51:38It was just simple and straightforward.
00:51:45Why am I so confused?
00:51:55Hi.
00:52:15Gavin?
00:52:18Hi.
00:52:19Hey. Laurel, good to see you.
00:52:22What are you doing here?
00:52:23I was just bringing my parents some flowers.
00:52:26Oh.
00:52:29I was visiting Jessica.
00:52:33How'd you two fall in love?
00:52:35It wasn't hard.
00:52:38I was fixed up on a blind date.
00:52:41I thought she was so beautiful and so intelligent.
00:52:46We were married a year later.
00:52:47So it was that easy, huh?
00:52:49No hesitation?
00:52:52Well, like so many young men, I didn't want to get married early.
00:52:57But that all changed when I fell in love.
00:53:03Would you ever remarry?
00:53:05Of course. I'd like very much to be remarried.
00:53:08Really?
00:53:09For me, there's only one real happiness.
00:53:14To love and be loved.
00:53:18That's what Rose always says.
00:53:23Would you like me to walk you home?
00:53:26Okay.
00:53:33Rose is a very wise woman.
00:53:36She's beautiful, too.
00:53:39You should tell her that sometime.
00:53:41I'm sure she would love to hear it.
00:53:44Perhaps I will.
00:53:52I love you.
00:54:09Hi there, Laurel.
00:54:11Hi.
00:54:21So he still hasn't called you?
00:54:23Nope. It is the weirdest thing.
00:54:25I mean, we were having this wonderful time together and then poof, he's gone.
00:54:29Do you think I should call him?
00:54:31What? No. No, no, no. Here's what we're going to do.
00:54:33We are going to forget about this guy.
00:54:35I mean, we can't be focused on some guy that's going to creep all out and disappear on you like that.
00:54:39What if it was a misunderstanding?
00:54:41Honey, when a guy doesn't call, it's because he's seeing somebody else or doesn't want to hurt your feelings.
00:54:46Okay, so I shouldn't call him?
00:54:47Promise me you're not going to call him.
00:54:48Okay, don't worry. I won't. I won't call him.
00:54:56Happy birthday.
00:54:57Nana, you did not have to bring me flowers.
00:55:00I didn't. They're from Evan.
00:55:03He called me last night and told me to be sure to give you these first thing in the morning.
00:55:10Ah.
00:55:16Dear Laurel, I want to be the first person to wish you a happy birthday this year and for many years to come.
00:55:22No matter how far away I am, I want you to know that I have never felt closer to anyone.
00:55:28See you soon. Love, Evan.
00:55:31Bye.
00:55:37Wow.
00:55:48Oh my gosh, look at this wedding dress.
00:55:50With the little fishtail mermaid thing at the bottom, that would look absolutely perfect on you.
00:55:54Just because Evan sent me flowers on my birthday, that does not mean we're going to start planning my wedding.
00:55:59Oh, come on. Can you try to act a little bit excited about this whole thing? Just for me, please.
00:56:03I don't want to jinx it.
00:56:05You know what? I bet if Steven would have been the one who wanted to marry you,
00:56:08you would have already had the dress picked out and the flowers ordered by now.
00:56:11Well, if Steven and I were going to get married, we would have probably just eloped.
00:56:14But he's actually not even talking to me, so it doesn't matter.
00:56:17He still hasn't called you.
00:56:19Nope. And don't worry, I haven't called him.
00:56:23Well, you know what? I'm sorry. I should have never even brought it up.
00:56:26You know? Especially on your birthday.
00:56:29No, it's okay. I mean, it's just...
00:56:31It bums me out that I'm never going to know what happened between us.
00:56:37You know what? I've got to get out of here.
00:56:39I have to deliver those flowers and then go pick up some more ribbon for the Scottish Bridezilla wedding on Saturday.
00:56:44You're still going to help me, right? I'll be there.
00:56:46Oh, and don't forget tonight at the shop at 7 o'clock.
00:56:49I can't believe I actually slipped and told you, but just try your best to act surprised.
00:56:54Don't worry, I'm on it.
00:57:09This looks so cute.
00:57:10You like it?
00:57:12Yeah.
00:57:19Hey, why don't you wait here? I'll go get us a table.
00:57:21Back in a sec.
00:57:25Hello? Victoria Darling speaking.
00:57:30Yes. Oh, it's fabulous up here. Such a lovely little town.
00:57:34Oh, and Stephen and I always have such a great time together.
00:57:37He is such a romantic guy. Makes everything easy.
00:57:42Yeah, well, when you've been together as long as we have, you just know it's going to last forever.
00:57:47Okay. All right. Great. Bye-bye.
00:57:54Yes.
00:57:59Surprise!
00:58:02He's got a girlfriend.
00:58:05I should have known.
00:58:06How could you have known?
00:58:07About the red flags. I just wish he wasn't so secretive about what he did all day.
00:58:11Whoever she is, she couldn't possibly be as wonderful as you are.
00:58:14Oh, she is, Evangeline. She's sophisticated and beautiful.
00:58:19You're beautiful.
00:58:20And she has this glamorous name, like she's from a soap opera or something.
00:58:24You know her name?
00:58:26Well, there you go. You can Google her. So, who is she?
00:58:29Her name is Victoria Darling.
00:58:32I know. It's crazy, right? Like, it's not even real.
00:58:36Oh, honey, I hate to be the one to tell you, but she's real.
00:58:46Yep, that's her.
00:58:48Wow.
00:58:49So, she's a romance novelist?
00:58:51A best-selling romance novelist.
00:58:53I thought she looked familiar.
00:58:56What, you saw her?
00:58:57Well, I thought I saw her.
00:59:00Why do you guys have this, anyway?
00:59:01We were reading it.
00:59:02The book club.
00:59:03Yeah, I read it when I was on vacation, and it's actually amazing.
00:59:11Sorry.
00:59:12Hey.
00:59:18She had never seen a man like him before.
00:59:21Proud, tall, handsome.
00:59:25His dark profile thrilling against the evening sky.
00:59:29This?
00:59:31This was a man she could fall in love with.
00:59:34A man she could never have.
00:59:40Ow, ow.
00:59:41Oh, what happened? What happened?
00:59:44I poked myself.
00:59:47Okay.
00:59:51What is the matter with you? You're just not yourself today.
00:59:58It's Victoria's book.
01:00:00You read the whole thing?
01:00:01Yes, I couldn't sleep.
01:00:03And you know, I don't even like romance novels, but something about this one really spoke to me.
01:00:09I think it was that whole thing about true love, and even if it seems impossible, to still pursue it.
01:00:16But you have true love. Evan's love.
01:00:19Nana, I care about Evan. I do, I do, but...
01:00:23But what? What?
01:00:25I don't know. The whole thing with him is just not sitting well with me.
01:00:29Maybe if I could just talk to Steven, and see if we had some misunderstanding.
01:00:34Oh, sweetie, you know, I know you care about Steven, but he is not the guy for you.
01:00:40Then why can't I stop thinking that we're meant to be together?
01:00:43Life isn't a romance novel. I mean, sometimes you have to accept even a love that's less than perfect, that is pretty wonderful.
01:00:53I guess. I just can't believe he didn't even call me.
01:01:04Rose's turn.
01:01:06Hello, Laurel. Is Rose there?
01:01:08Yes, she is. It's Gavin.
01:01:15Oh, Gavin. So nice to hear from you.
01:01:18Are you free tonight?
01:01:20What? Oh, well, no, we're pretty busy. You know, that's the big Scottish wedding weekend.
01:01:25Rain check?
01:01:27Well, all right. That would be nice.
01:01:29I'll see you soon.
01:01:31Yes. Well, fine. Bye-bye.
01:01:34I think I just got asked out on a date.
01:01:51Evan! You're back!
01:01:53I had to get back and see you.
01:01:55Did you get the job?
01:01:57I did. There's just one thing I need to sort out before I accept it.
01:02:00What's that?
01:02:01Our future.
01:02:04Laurel, I know we haven't known each other very long, but I knew that I wanted you the moment we met, and you're all I could think of while I was away.
01:02:15Is this...
01:02:17Yes.
01:02:18Are you...
01:02:19I am asking you to be my wife.
01:02:22You don't have to answer right away. I know that I'm kind of rushing this, and the last thing I want to do is rush you, but...
01:02:32Will you think it over?
01:02:37Of course I will.
01:02:53Hi!
01:02:55Sorry. Sorry I'm late.
01:02:57That's okay.
01:02:58So, how was your date with Gavin?
01:03:01Oh, well, you know, we just had coffee and dessert, and then we went for a walk in his garden.
01:03:08It was just wonderful. You know, honey, he is such a special man.
01:03:14I can't believe that I went this long without noticing him. I must have been blind.
01:03:20Oh, my God.
01:03:24Is that what I think it is?
01:03:25Yep.
01:03:26Evan proposed. He came right from the airport.
01:03:29Oh, it's beautiful!
01:03:31I can't believe you're going to get married!
01:03:34Aren't you excited?
01:03:35I haven't said yes yet.
01:03:36But you're going to, aren't you?
01:03:37I don't know. I thought Evan was the one, but...
01:03:41But what? What? What?
01:03:43Then I met Steven.
01:03:45Oh, I knew it. I knew you were going to fall in love with him. Steven.
01:03:49Well, we were just getting to know each other, and...
01:03:51Oh, it's nonsense. It only takes a minute to fall in love.
01:03:55I knew I was going to marry your grandfather 16 seconds into our first date.
01:04:00It took him a little longer to realize he was going to marry me.
01:04:04Steven's made his choice.
01:04:06Now I need to make mine.
01:04:08Am I going to marry Evan, or wait for my true love who may never come?
01:04:14Oh, no, honey.
01:04:15You know, we don't have time to talk about this right now.
01:04:16We've got to get to Kristen's wedding. Brooke's meeting us there, and we've got to go.
01:04:19Oh, honey.
01:04:21You're going to be very angry with me about this, but I have something to tell you.
01:04:28What am I going to be angry about, Nana?
01:04:32I had a little conversation with Steven about you.
01:04:38Oh, no.
01:04:39I had a little conversation with Steven about you.
01:04:44Oh, Nana.
01:04:45I told him that you were involved with someone else. It was a serious relationship.
01:04:51So, you told Steven about Evan?
01:04:55Oh, honey, I'm so sorry. I know I shouldn't have done it, but I thought it would help you to decide which...
01:05:00No, do you think maybe that's why Steven disappeared?
01:05:03Maybe.
01:05:04Nana!
01:05:05Aren't you married?
01:05:06Not now. I probably will be later, but in the meantime, I need to go see Steven.
01:05:13He enters the room and takes her in his arms, kissing her with a warrior's passion.
01:05:19Drops his sword to the floor, and then...
01:05:29You know what? Why don't we take a break?
01:05:32We can get back to this later.
01:05:34Sure.
01:05:36Let's go.
01:06:03Hello?
01:06:04Oh, those are beautiful flowers.
01:06:07Are you...
01:06:09Victoria Darling?
01:06:10Yes, yes, I am.
01:06:12Then these are for you.
01:06:17Hold on, I'll get you a tip.
01:06:34Door closes.
01:06:51Here you go.
01:06:53Thanks.
01:06:54You're welcome.
01:07:02Okay.
01:07:04Bye.
01:07:09You know, we do have a deadline. We should probably get back to work.
01:07:20Is there something going on with you?
01:07:23Strange.
01:07:26Suddenly, I just can't stop thinking about Laurel.
01:07:28The girl you were seeing.
01:07:30What's going on with that?
01:07:31Well, apparently, she's seeing someone else.
01:07:34Grandmother told me it was pretty serious.
01:07:36Wait, her grandmother said that?
01:07:39Yeah.
01:07:40Okay, you know how grandmothers are.
01:07:43They always want to set their granddaughter up with a lawyer or a doctor, you know.
01:07:48At least that's how my grandmother was.
01:07:51I know, I know.
01:07:53I should have just called her, right? Gotten the whole story.
01:07:56I got wrapped up in finishing the book and...
01:07:58Oh, honey, the book is important, but not as important as love.
01:08:02You know, sometimes I think you are just a little too sensitive.
01:08:06You're right.
01:08:08I mean, who cares if she's seeing someone else? I should just go to her and...
01:08:13And just tell her how you feel.
01:08:19Evan, hi, it's Laurel.
01:08:21When you get this message, can you meet me at the flower shop?
01:08:25I've made my decision.
01:08:33I came as soon as I got your message.
01:08:37So?
01:08:39What did you decide?
01:08:42Evan, you are a wonderful guy.
01:08:46And I'd be so lucky to be married to you.
01:08:51But I don't want to stop you from realizing your dreams.
01:08:54You are part of my dreams.
01:08:56No, I'm not.
01:08:57I mean, we barely even know each other.
01:09:00And I think we were both just looking for someone.
01:09:06And that's why this was so rushed.
01:09:09I mean, I know we don't know each other that well, but...
01:09:12I'm really sorry.
01:09:27I'm sorry.
01:09:53How many times did we go over this?
01:09:55And what color are these plates?
01:09:57I want dove white.
01:09:59That looks like linen white or something.
01:10:01I mean, how complicated is this?
01:10:03I don't really understand why this is so difficult.
01:10:05Do not laugh at me.
01:10:07He's laughing at me.
01:10:09I do not want him serving at my wedding.
01:10:17Yes, book right here.
01:10:19We should have some extra.
01:10:21Merrily said no water.
01:10:23Got it.
01:10:26Where have you been?
01:10:28Oh, Evan and Steven.
01:10:30I don't even really want to talk about it.
01:10:32Are you okay, though?
01:10:34Yeah, I'm fine. Is 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?
01:10:53I placed this order six months ago.
01:10:58I'm going to need to speak to your manager immediately.
01:11:05Where have you been?
01:11:08So, what happened with Steven?
01:11:11I went to see him and...
01:11:14Nana, he's in love with Victoria.
01:11:16Oh.
01:11:18I don't want to talk about it, okay?
01:11:20We only have an hour, so let's get going.
01:11:22Come on, it's okay.
01:11:26I'm not dancing to a DJ.
01:11:29No one asked for a band.
01:11:35Oh, my God.
01:11:41Is everything okay?
01:11:43Okay.
01:11:46It's...
01:11:48amazing.
01:11:49So you like it?
01:11:51I love it.
01:11:53It's beautiful.
01:11:55You are a genius.
01:12:00Oh, God.
01:12:02This is going to be the most beautiful wedding ever.
01:12:04Just like I always dreamed of.
01:12:09You're welcome.
01:12:13I know I've been a pain, and I am sorry.
01:12:15I just...
01:12:16I wanted this day to be perfect, and...
01:12:19now I know that it will be.
01:12:22I'm going to go upstairs and 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 to ruin her own wedding day.
01:12:43Isn't it funny how people get so upset over the silliest things?
01:12:47I know.
01:12:50So...
01:12:53when are you going to tell me what happened with Stephen?
01:12:58It's not going to work out, Nana.
01:13:00Oh, sweetie. I'm so sorry.
01:13:03Don't be. It'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.
01:13:14Call me crazy, but I don't want to be married to someone
01:13:18just for the sake of being married.
01:13:22I want love.
01:13:25You know, passionate, crazy, romantic love.
01:13:30Just like in the novels.
01:13:32I know just what you mean, sweetheart.
01:13:42Yellow tulips.
01:13:45Declaration of hopeless love.
01:13:47Where did these come from?
01:13:50I thought they were for me.
01:13:53The flower girl is Laurel.
01:13:58Why didn't you tell her about me?
01:14:00You know, I have a non-disclosure agreement.
01:14:02Well, forget about the agreement. You have to tell her the truth.
01:14:05I will. I will. Come on. We've got to get to the flower store.
01:14:07All right.
01:14:09Ah, she isn't here. There's nobody here.
01:14:12Well, where else could she be?
01:14:14It's Saturday night. She's probably at a wedding.
01:14:16Come on. I think I know where.
01:14:18Okay. Come on.
01:14:20Come on.
01:14:22Come on.
01:14:24Come on.
01:14:26Come on.
01:14:28Come on.
01:14:30Come on.
01:14:32Come on.
01:14:34Come on.
01:14:35Come on.
01:14:37Okay.
01:14:39Come on.
01:14:45You may get down.
01:14:47Thank you, sir.
01:14:49Come inside.
01:15:05Come on.
01:15:15Wait a minute. Wait a minute. I think I saw her van. Back up a bit.
01:15:29This is it. That's her van.
01:15:31Okay.
01:15:33I've got to hurry.
01:15:35I think she's in love with someone else.
01:15:37Weddings are a great place to meet someone.
01:15:39Good point.
01:15:41Go ahead. I'll catch up with you.
01:16:05Ladies and gentlemen, we are gathered here today to unite this man and this woman in holy matrimony.
01:16:12We are gathered here today for God, our families...
01:16:15We are gathered here today for God, our families...
01:16:36What are you doing here?
01:16:38You came by my house today to deliver flowers?
01:16:40Yes. I came by to see you.
01:16:42But you were otherwise engaged.
01:16:45You need to listen to me.
01:16:47It's not how it looks.
01:16:49I'm not engaged.
01:16:51I'm not seeing anyone.
01:16:53You're not?
01:16:55No. And she's not Victoria Darling.
01:16:57Yes, she is. I recognize her from the back of the books.
01:17:00No, she isn't.
01:17:03I'm Victoria Darling.
01:17:05What?
01:17:07Victoria Darling is a pen name.
01:17:09It's a pseudonym.
01:17:11She loves books.
01:17:13Loves Burning Fire.
01:17:15Rose and the Rogue.
01:17:17Wayward Wench.
01:17:19Passion's Darkest Flower.
01:17:21It's all me.
01:17:24So you're a romance novelist.
01:17:27Yeah.
01:17:30I was just out of college and I was working at a publishing company as an intern
01:17:35when my boss was looking for a ghostwriter for a book idea she had.
01:17:39I mean, next thing you know, the book's a bestseller.
01:17:42And, damn, I got a career.
01:17:44But we figured that nobody would want to buy romance novels written by some guy,
01:17:48so we invented Victoria Darling.
01:17:50Who is we?
01:17:56She's my publisher.
01:17:58Her real name is Elsie Giddens.
01:18:00We come up with the story ideas together and I do the writing.
01:18:03And I do all the book signings and the publicity.
01:18:09I don't believe you.
01:18:14I can prove it to you.
01:18:22He strode across the castle floor to her and held her in his arms.
01:18:26She struggled for a moment.
01:18:28Against him.
01:18:31And he could feel her heart beating like a pulse.
01:18:35And he could feel her heart beating like a wild bird.
01:18:39She knew she should hate this man.
01:18:42The man who'd taken her from everything she knew.
01:18:46But all she could feel for him...
01:18:52was a smoldering passion.
01:18:55And suddenly...
01:18:56Okay.
01:18:58I believe you now.
01:19:04I now pronounce you man and wife.
01:19:34Yeah!
01:19:36Yeah!
01:20:04Yeah!
01:20:21So, despite what every daytime television talk show host
01:20:26would have you believe about life in the 21st century,
01:20:29my fairytale romance became reality.
01:20:34Not in the loaf like both of us had planned,
01:20:37although a wedding chapel ceremony in Las Vegas did have its appeal.
01:20:41Instead, we got to share our wedding day with everyone we love.
01:20:46My Laika sister best friend, Brooke, was my matron of honor.
01:20:50Evangeline, my very own fairy godmother, made my wedding dress for me.
01:20:55Nana was accompanied by Gavin at our wedding.
01:20:58Her own white knight.
01:20:59Two of them finding happiness together was the other true romance
01:21:03that played out on my wedding day.
01:21:07My loving Nana.
01:21:09No matter how much I thought she shouldn't do anything more than enjoy the day
01:21:14she insisted on handling the flowers herself.
01:21:17Victoria Darling, or should I say Elsie, was there, of course, taking notes.
01:21:23In an unsurprising case of life imitating art,
01:21:25Victoria started the next day on her very own modern day romance novel
01:21:29based on the story of Stephen and me.
01:21:32Just like Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty, and Snow White,
01:21:36Stephen and I found true love at last.
01:21:39I believe in love at first sight.
01:21:42I believe in matches made in heaven.
01:21:45I believe in happily ever after.
01:21:48I now pronounce you husband and wife.
01:21:52You may kiss the bride.
01:22:49In the end, there's only one happiness
01:22:53and that happiness is to love and be loved.
01:22:58If you follow your heart.
