00:00:13Siaja
00:00:27There you go!
00:00:30Annabelle!
00:00:33They're coming!
00:00:36They're coming!
00:00:38They're coming!
00:00:40They're coming!
00:00:41They're coming!
00:00:43Oh, yeah, I can't help you!
00:00:48Hey, hey, stop, stop!
00:01:06Hey!
00:01:13You forgot to charge the walkies.
00:01:17Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to.
00:01:34You think I'll be you someday?
00:01:36Only if I find my soulmate.
00:01:40Is that it?
00:01:45Lucas, your dad's looking for you back at the Grand Holland.
00:01:49Yes, sir.
00:02:01Well, I had thought we'd have more time before I needed to have the boy talk.
00:02:08You, Dad, no, stop.
00:02:12It's just, do you think I'll ever find my soulmate?
00:02:17Your soulmate? Lord Almighty.
00:02:20Can we just at least start with the boy talk?
00:02:22Helping out with the weddings at the Grand Holland, I'm usually stuck in the bell tower.
00:02:28Well, that sounds like the beginning of a fairy tale to me.
00:02:31And you know how fairy tales always end.
00:02:33Happily ever after.
00:02:37You know, the funny thing about happily ever after is, well, it's built one moment at a time.
00:02:45How did you know Mom was your soulmate?
00:02:51She'll have to tell you that story.
00:02:54For now, just know, you're going to make the most incredible bride and so much more.
00:03:01Tell you what.
00:03:04Look at this.
00:03:05It's just a regular coin, right?
00:03:08Ah, what?
00:03:11Press it tightly.
00:03:13I can press it in my most powerful dreams and make a wish.
00:03:18Here, you try.
00:03:21So concentrate and close your eyes.
00:03:28What did you wish for, Dad?
00:03:32For you, darling, so many days.
00:03:47Hey, Belle.
00:03:48I'm busy.
00:03:49Like, busy, busy, or just...
00:03:50We'll see you next week, and we don't have anything to prove.
00:03:52Oh, is that why you're working on your own wedding vision board instead of the timeless bride summer centerfold?
00:03:57I'm manifesting.
00:03:58Manifesting.
00:03:58Good vibes, the future.
00:04:00I don't know.
00:04:00It's more of an art than science.
00:04:02Sometimes you have to focus on other things so that you can get inspiration.
00:04:05It's a thing.
00:04:06It's more like a very flowery way to describe not doing your job.
00:04:09I liked you better as an intern.
00:04:11Well, then you shouldn't have promoted me.
00:04:13Riley, it is not my fault that 15% of the time you are a diligent and fiercely intelligent young
00:04:18woman.
00:04:1915 whole percent?
00:04:20This is a good day for me.
00:04:21You shush.
00:04:22I work in bridal excellence, and I am self-actualizing bridal elegance.
00:04:26What could be more important?
00:04:27Paige never turned in his article.
00:04:28What?
00:04:30Then what went out today?
00:04:31So far, nothing.
00:04:33Okay.
00:04:34Uh, oof.
00:04:41Paige?
00:04:42Yes?
00:04:43Where's my article, Paige?
00:04:46I'm underwater on design layouts and prepping for the engagement ring photo shoot tomorrow.
00:04:50Okay.
00:04:51Well, what about your invitation QR code piece?
00:04:54This shoot will wrap a four-page spread.
00:04:57I've got no time.
00:04:59Okay.
00:05:00That's fine.
00:05:01That's it.
00:05:01That's fine.
00:05:02I'll take it.
00:05:02Um, do you have an outline or anything on QR codes?
00:05:07There are little squares inside of even smaller squares inside of those squares.
00:05:12Inspiring stuff.
00:05:13That's cute.
00:05:14I'm a photographer, not a writer, ladies.
00:05:17I know we're all feeling the short staff while we wait for the new editor-in-chief, but I've
00:05:22got deadlines, too.
00:05:23It's fine.
00:05:24It's fine.
00:05:24I'll take it.
00:05:25Um, just bring me back some magic, will you?
00:05:30Abracadabra.
00:05:31Okay.
00:05:32The invitations are a tool, and the most important thing about a tool is how you use it.
00:05:37They're elegant.
00:05:38They're seamless.
00:05:39They're streamlined.
00:05:40A little peace of mind on the most important day of your life with the skin of your phone.
00:05:46Is that supposed to be taking notes?
00:05:48No, just get back out there.
00:05:50I need something light and fun on socials ASAP, okay?
00:05:53Oh, you mean like the top five goodest girl flower girl puppies?
00:05:58That might be the best idea you've ever had.
00:06:00Yes, that.
00:06:01And, uh, tag a local animal shelter.
00:06:03Let's do some good while we're at it.
00:06:05On it!
00:06:10Okay.
00:06:18Hi, honey.
00:06:20Hey, Annabelle.
00:06:21We still on for tonight.
00:06:23Got two tickets at the chef's counter, Katetsu, for 7.30.
00:06:26A little omakase with my fiancé.
00:06:29Mother does a huge favor getting us in last minute.
00:06:32That sounds so perfect, but, um, I, I, I can't deny it.
00:06:37The deadlines are right on top of this.
00:06:39What?
00:06:40No.
00:06:41Put Riley on the phone.
00:06:42I'm getting you out of it.
00:06:43No, no, no, no.
00:06:44It's, it's nobody's fault.
00:06:45I'm just, I, I'm too busy.
00:06:49Oof.
00:06:51I knew things are bad, but not that bad.
00:06:55Yeah.
00:06:56We'll do a date night next week, okay?
00:06:57I promise.
00:07:00So I'm destined for a sushi-less night without you?
00:07:05Yeah, I'm sorry.
00:07:06Look, I, I gotta go, okay?
00:07:07I'll talk to you later.
00:07:08Bye, honey.
00:07:21Hi, Mom.
00:07:23Belle, I didn't hear from you yesterday.
00:07:25Is everything going okay?
00:07:26I, I know, I know.
00:07:28Um, I'm sorry.
00:07:29It's just, it's, it's been so busy at work.
00:07:31Everything's crazy, and I just haven't had time to...
00:07:33Honey, those are usually the best times to make time for yourself.
00:07:38Yeah, I know, I know.
00:07:40Um, look, I, I, I really gotta go.
00:07:42Um, but I'll, I'll call you soon, okay?
00:07:44Okay, but if I don't hear from you by the weekend, I'm gonna call you back, and you're gonna...
00:07:49Okay, I love you, Mom.
00:07:49I'll, I'll talk to you soon.
00:07:50Okay, bye.
00:07:51Bye-bye-bye.
00:07:55Okay.
00:07:56Okay.
00:07:58QR codes.
00:08:10Surprise!
00:08:11Surprise!
00:08:14Oh, oh, um, uh, I, I totally thought that you would love this.
00:08:19Um, we canceled date night, so I thought I'd bring date night to you.
00:08:24I don't know whether to kiss you or kill you.
00:08:27I have a pretty strong opinion on the matter.
00:08:30What is all this?
00:08:32Well, I couldn't decide where to eat, so I figured, um...
00:08:35Is that pizza from Espo's?
00:08:38That's the one you like, right?
00:08:40Uh-huh.
00:08:40Okay, well, pizza's not even the best part.
00:08:42Oh?
00:08:45I got you something.
00:08:50Pink and sweet and a twist-off.
00:08:54Ah.
00:08:54Your favorite.
00:08:55Thank you, I really needed this.
00:08:57Well, unfortunately...
00:09:00The food is cold.
00:09:03But just imagine hours ago when this is a wildly romantic gesture from your incredibly handsome and loving fiancée.
00:09:13It is incredible, really.
00:09:15It's, um, it's...
00:09:16You, you wait, wake up me.
00:09:19Yeah, it's almost ten o'clock.
00:09:22And this, this isn't Espo's.
00:09:24This is Tony's, and you, you put pineapple on the pizza...
00:09:28Whoa, whoa, I mean, pineapple really is the most sophisticated pizza topping.
00:09:31No, no, no, you're, thank you.
00:09:33This is, um, this is great.
00:09:34I'm exhausted, and I'm starving, so...
00:09:36It's wonderful.
00:09:40Look, I know things are tense over a timeless...
00:09:43Well, I have a really long day.
00:09:45I don't know what to talk about.
00:09:46...and this is an emergency board meeting.
00:09:47What?
00:09:48What board meeting?
00:09:58Have you heard anything, it is?
00:09:59No, nothing.
00:10:00And I have been snooping all morning.
00:10:02You're the best snoop in the office.
00:10:03How do you have nothing?
00:10:04All I can confirm is that there was a board meeting, but Cage couldn't say anything.
00:10:08I mean, I know things haven't been great lately, but that's an industry thing.
00:10:10That's not an us thing.
00:10:12Unless it's more about...
00:10:14No, no, no, no, no, don't do that.
00:10:16The board would have to meet to confirm a candidate for editor-in-chief,
00:10:19and the position's been empty for months.
00:10:22Are those donuts or bagels?
00:10:25Chili's danishes.
00:10:27Sometimes I think you know me better than I know myself.
00:10:29But we cannot be speculating about promotions or anything that may or may not be happening.
00:10:35Lost lady wants to see you, not you.
00:10:45Annabelle.
00:10:48What are you doing here?
00:10:50I...
00:10:51Hi.
00:10:53I was just in the neighborhood to see Mother.
00:10:56But you talked to Patricia before I did?
00:10:59Why would you do that?
00:11:02Honey, it's news.
00:11:03It's good news.
00:11:06Come on, wipe that adorable, confused look off your face.
00:11:10It's all good.
00:11:11And remember, stand up straight.
00:11:14You know my mother is about posture.
00:11:15Right.
00:11:16Yeah.
00:11:17Um...
00:11:18Honey, she's my boss.
00:11:19You can't just come in here and...
00:11:21And your future mother-in-law.
00:11:24So it's called having a vested interest.
00:11:28Right.
00:11:29Yeah.
00:11:30Hey, you're gonna be great.
00:11:32Yeah?
00:11:33Yeah.
00:11:33Okay.
00:11:35Okay.
00:11:35Bye.
00:11:36Bye.
00:11:39Ah, Annabelle, come in.
00:11:43You look marvelous as always.
00:11:46Positively glowing.
00:11:47You're too kind.
00:11:49On the other hand, Matthew has gotten a little paunchy since the two of you started going together.
00:11:55You really do need to learn to run him occasionally.
00:11:58And I say that with all due respect and love in my heart.
00:12:01But he won't do it for himself.
00:12:04I will keep that in mind.
00:12:05Yes.
00:12:06Oh, please, have a seat.
00:12:07Can I get you something?
00:12:08The sparkling...
00:12:09No, no, I'm good.
00:12:10I'm just curious.
00:12:12Of course.
00:12:13It's a small building.
00:12:15People talk.
00:12:16Yeah.
00:12:16Um, what was Matthew doing here?
00:12:20Things are not going well at Timeless Bride.
00:12:23Another casualty of your generation.
00:12:25Diamonds, weddings, romance, print media.
00:12:29Not you, my dear, of course, but the broader they.
00:12:33Do you know why the job of editor-in-chief has remained vacant for three months?
00:12:39Um, because you haven't found the right candidate?
00:12:42It's because the magazine is a sinking ship.
00:12:49Is that why the board was here?
00:12:51They felt it necessary to underline the severity of the situation.
00:12:56Circulation is down.
00:12:58Advertisers are pulling out.
00:13:00We, the publisher, will survive.
00:13:02But the brand and magazine will be scrapped for parts and sold to the highest bidder.
00:13:08Unless...
00:13:09Unless?
00:13:09Unless we make a statement.
00:13:13Something capable of creating a massive viral groundswell.
00:13:19We need to return to our roots and explore the beating heart of the brand.
00:13:25The wedding.
00:13:27As a tangible expression of mutual adoration.
00:13:31As unique and undefinable as the woman who wears the dress.
00:13:37Right, yeah, um, it's, it's just, the thing is, we're up against the wall with print deadlines already.
00:13:43I mean, we have less than a month to get...
00:13:45And we're eyeing an internal candidate for editor-in-chief.
00:13:52Um, what are you saying?
00:13:55Someone who can be the face of the brand and lead us on a truly unforgettable journey.
00:14:03Um, sorry, but, but, but why was Matthew here?
00:14:07Well, you were planning on getting married next spring.
00:14:10He suggested that we might move up the date.
00:14:14Document everything.
00:14:15Share everything.
00:14:16You always said you had to get married in that one-horse town of yours, the, the great Dutchman, whatever.
00:14:22And that's perfect.
00:14:23Intimate.
00:14:24Elegant.
00:14:25Authentic.
00:14:26Honest.
00:14:31No, uh, uh, Patricia, my wedding is, is not a PR stunt.
00:14:36It's for love, to your son, and...
00:14:40You can't put a wedding together in a month.
00:14:43You have three weeks.
00:14:45No.
00:14:46No, no, I'm sorry.
00:14:48I, I can't do that.
00:14:49It's your two biggest dreams coming true at once.
00:14:53That is a major oversimplification.
00:14:57It, it, it's, it's, that's just happening way too fast.
00:15:01It's, it's crazy.
00:15:02The ship is going down, whether you want it to or not.
00:15:13Um.
00:15:17Where do we start?
00:15:20Yes, yes.
00:15:21Give me kitty cat hands.
00:15:25More with the eyes.
00:15:27Now drop the hands.
00:15:28Keep the eyes.
00:15:29Take us there.
00:15:30Go!
00:15:32Maybe give us something.
00:15:35You look hungry, or bored, or confused, or...
00:15:39Ahem.
00:15:41Please.
00:15:42Sorry, lady, gentleman.
00:15:44Um, Kate, can we just, can we have a word?
00:15:46Belle, oh, Belle, anything for you.
00:15:48Okay.
00:15:50Just a moment.
00:15:52Right?
00:15:54Keep that kitty cat magic.
00:15:57I thought this was a wedding ring shoot.
00:15:59Why are they in full wardrobe?
00:16:00I already got the ring shots.
00:16:02We have them all day.
00:16:03Might as well make some memories.
00:16:04Besides, now that they're in full gear, they're giving me everything.
00:16:09Aren't you, love?
00:16:10Yeah, that's right.
00:16:11I believe you.
00:16:12Great work.
00:16:13Keep it up.
00:16:14Okay, um, you know how I said that I wanted you to shoot my wedding?
00:16:17And I am honored to be a part of the Annabelle experience.
00:16:21Well, we're moving the date up.
00:16:22Quite a bit.
00:16:24What do you mean, quite a bit?
00:16:27Can I level with you?
00:16:29He insists.
00:16:31There might not be a timeless bride after this summer issue if we can't pull off something huge.
00:16:36You're gonna want to submit those invoices before they slap a for sale sign on the building.
00:16:41You're being serious.
00:16:42I'm serious.
00:16:43We're going full tilt on the media angle.
00:16:45Try and see if we can pull the magazine out of a nosedive.
00:16:48So we need an event.
00:16:51A big statement.
00:16:52So.
00:16:53While pulling off your dream wedding simultaneously.
00:16:58It's not too much for a bride to ask for, is it?
00:17:00Uh, we have three weeks.
00:17:01We leave tomorrow.
00:17:03So, um, toddle up.
00:17:05Hey.
00:17:06I used to shoot indie documentaries.
00:17:08My horse is out back, raring to go.
00:17:11That's great, Cage.
00:17:12Uh, Riley's gonna be your right-hand man.
00:17:14That human ring light?
00:17:16We need a direct feed in the editorial, and she's a Swiss Army knife with aesthetics.
00:17:20Just be gentle.
00:17:21I am working on her.
00:17:24Okay.
00:17:25Who's driving?
00:17:27Are you kidding?
00:17:28I'm the bride.
00:17:29You're driving.
00:17:31Where are my kittens?
00:17:40Hey.
00:17:51Hey.
00:17:53Hi.
00:17:54Hey.
00:17:58I wanted to be here for your big send-off.
00:18:04That's sweet.
00:18:05Um, I wish you'd talk to me about all of this before setting it in motion.
00:18:11I wanted to tee up your dream.
00:18:14Our dream.
00:18:15Yeah, I just wish you'd talk to me.
00:18:18That's all.
00:18:20Hey, hey, hey.
00:18:21Please.
00:18:23Please, please, don't leave like this.
00:18:25This is gonna be incredible.
00:18:27Ian, I know.
00:18:29Ian, I know.
00:18:29You're stressed.
00:18:31This is gonna be amazing.
00:18:33I promise.
00:18:38I love you.
00:18:39I love you, too.
00:18:50Get in, loser.
00:18:53Your carriage awaits.
00:18:56All right.
00:18:58We are really doing this.
00:19:06I'll be down in a few days to help out with everything.
00:19:08Okay.
00:19:09That'll be great.
00:19:10Yeah.
00:19:10You'll see.
00:19:13We'll see you soon.
00:19:14Bye.
00:19:17All right, minions.
00:19:19Let's go.
00:19:24Paige, the music is terrible.
00:20:12You're so miserable.
00:20:14Why couldn't we just fly in?
00:20:15Because it's actually faster to drive.
00:20:17You know, the nearest airport is...
00:20:18Okay, well, you should really work on having more conveniently located treats.
00:20:23And miss the brilliant insight into your boss's personal life?
00:20:27Work-life balance, people.
00:20:29It is.
00:20:30Okay, can we just pretend to be a happy family for five minutes,
00:20:33and then you guys can go back to the hotel and unload the gear?
00:20:35Okay?
00:20:37Mom!
00:20:38A phone call wouldn't have killed you.
00:20:42What?
00:20:44First you rush me off the phone,
00:20:46and then you leave me a cryptic text,
00:20:47and now you are here?
00:20:51Um, I'm sorry.
00:20:52I just, I didn't really have time to explain.
00:20:54No time on a five-hour drive.
00:20:58Well, um...
00:20:59Where are my manners?
00:21:01Hello to you two wonderful strangers.
00:21:03You must be exhausted.
00:21:04Come on in.
00:21:05Do you need some coffee, water, juice?
00:21:08How about a little wine?
00:21:09I wouldn't say no to coffee.
00:21:11The bridal prerogative has had me in the driver's seat all day.
00:21:15Excellent.
00:21:15I'll put a pot on.
00:21:17And how about for you, hon?
00:21:18Wine.
00:21:19All your wine.
00:21:20Juice for the little one.
00:21:23Ugh.
00:21:24Mom, I'm sorry.
00:21:25I've just been so busy with deadlines.
00:21:27Oh, say no more, Belle.
00:21:29A mother always knows.
00:21:32Yeah, well, uh, this time I really doubt it.
00:21:39I knew that it was just a matter of time
00:21:41before you came to your senses.
00:21:43Excuse me?
00:21:45Honey, I've been saying it since the very beginning.
00:21:48There's something wrong with that man.
00:21:49I mean, don't get me wrong.
00:21:50He is quite the looker.
00:21:52But upstairs where it really counts,
00:21:54he's as helpless as your...
00:21:56Mom, what are you talking about?
00:21:58That's why you're here, isn't it?
00:22:00You've left towards his face.
00:22:02Matthew.
00:22:02What?
00:22:03Wait, that isn't what's happening?
00:22:06Then why are you suddenly in town?
00:22:08We're not calling anything off.
00:22:10Matthew and I are in love.
00:22:11The wedding is happening, Mom.
00:22:13We moved off the date.
00:22:14That is why I am here.
00:22:16Well, I think I'm going to have to join you
00:22:19for this glass of juice.
00:22:20Mom, what?
00:22:23What's your Wi-Fi password?
00:22:25Here's your Wi-Fi password.
00:22:33I can't believe you just assumed we broke up.
00:22:36Easy.
00:22:36It's a harmless mistake.
00:22:38Harmless?
00:22:39Really?
00:22:39You caught me off guard is all.
00:22:42That's why you should have called.
00:22:44I thought that you had news
00:22:46that you could only deliver in person.
00:22:48I thought that it was either a breakup or a baby.
00:22:51And you're looking a little thin.
00:22:54Wow.
00:22:55Now then, don't keep me in suspense.
00:22:58Who are your friends?
00:23:01Mom, this is Riley and Cage from the magazine.
00:23:04They're here to film the wedding process
00:23:05from start to finish.
00:23:07Jeez, how much did you two move up the date
00:23:10that you already have a video crew?
00:23:12Three weeks.
00:23:13Oh, three weeks.
00:23:14That's not so bad.
00:23:15There's still plenty of time.
00:23:17Nope, nope.
00:23:18The wedding happens in three weeks.
00:23:20Oh, my.
00:23:22That's...
00:23:22A lot.
00:23:23I know, Mom.
00:23:24Look, Timeless Bride is in trouble, okay?
00:23:26And we're taking a big risk
00:23:28opening up our lives to the magazine,
00:23:30but we believe in it.
00:23:32I, I believe in it.
00:23:34Mr. Cage, how do you take your coffee?
00:23:36Black is fine.
00:23:42Well, you might be in for a bit of luck.
00:23:45Word around town is that the Grand Holland
00:23:47just sold last month.
00:23:49They haven't opened up for bookings,
00:23:50but that's amazing.
00:23:52I can't believe they'd sell.
00:23:54Who bought it?
00:23:56Who knows?
00:23:57I'll give them a call.
00:23:59And the perks of living in a small town,
00:24:01if they don't answer,
00:24:03I know someone who knows someone
00:24:05who can get us in.
00:24:06We'll see for ourselves tomorrow.
00:24:07That would be great.
00:24:08Honestly, getting the Holland
00:24:09has been my biggest concern.
00:24:12Will your entourage be joining us?
00:24:14Wouldn't miss it for the world.
00:24:16And I am contractually obligated
00:24:18to go wherever he goes.
00:24:22Hurry up.
00:24:23I want to shower off this car ride.
00:24:24Yeah, yeah.
00:24:25All this co-worker stuff
00:24:26is honestly just...
00:24:27One sec.
00:24:30There.
00:24:30Done.
00:24:33You're helping me unload the gear
00:24:35when we get to the hotel.
00:24:36You're helping me unload the gear
00:24:37when we get to the hotel.
00:24:38No one knew.
00:24:39I don't know.
00:25:04I can't do it.
00:25:10Hey, hey, hey, wait, wait.
00:25:12You don't want to get any coverage?
00:25:14These are Corinthian columns, Cage.
00:25:17Corinthian.
00:25:18You sure you don't want to book the place first?
00:25:21I'm manifesting.
00:25:22Come on, this place is my dream.
00:25:24You know we've covered actual royal weddings, right?
00:25:28Okay, well, I used to help out my dad here during the summer,
00:25:30so this place is a part of me, and there is no other venue, so...
00:25:34Maybe don't lead in with that.
00:25:36It's not the strongest leverage.
00:25:37No, we are not leaving until we get the paperwork signed.
00:25:40Get the coverage.
00:25:45Just don't cause a scene in there without me.
00:26:04Well, the new owner has impeccable taste.
00:26:08Is that June?
00:26:12Hi.
00:26:13Hi.
00:26:14So good to see you.
00:26:15Good to see you, too.
00:26:16How are you?
00:26:18Good.
00:26:19I'm just glad I checked my messages last night so I could give you all a tour of the Grand
00:26:23Holland this morning.
00:26:24Well, we appreciate it.
00:26:25This is my daughter, Annabelle.
00:26:27Hi.
00:26:27It's great to meet you.
00:26:28Nice to meet you.
00:26:29Is this your first visit at the Grand Holland?
00:26:31Oh, no.
00:26:31No, no, no, no.
00:26:32But it's been a lot of time since I've been through those doors, so it's good to be back.
00:26:37Please don't mind the mess.
00:26:39We're just going through a quick transfer of ownership.
00:26:41Got to sweep out the cobwebs.
00:26:44Count up all them tables and chairs.
00:26:47Find where the bodies are buried.
00:26:49And here is our new owner now.
00:26:55Hey, boss.
00:26:57We're finished out back, and I'm just going to take off for the day.
00:26:59Make sure you put the radios on charge tonight.
00:27:02Copy that.
00:27:10Lucas.
00:27:11Oh, you're already familiar?
00:27:14Yeah.
00:27:19And here's our blushing bride-to-pain.
00:27:22Returned at last to the venue that sparked her love affair with all things wedding.
00:27:27Cage.
00:27:28Our very own maestro of bridal innovation.
00:27:31Cage.
00:27:32Cage.
00:27:33Excellent.
00:27:33Annabelle and...
00:27:34Cage, you just stop.
00:27:35No.
00:27:36You said all access, and I said don't cause a scene without me.
00:27:42Is this your groom?
00:27:45No.
00:27:46No.
00:27:47No, no, no.
00:27:47Videographer.
00:27:50Documentarian.
00:27:50Yeah.
00:27:51Quite the production you brought with you for a tour of a place that you know so well.
00:27:55Yeah, well, um...
00:27:56So where is your groom?
00:27:58Uh, he's, um...
00:27:59Flying in real soon.
00:28:01Right, yeah.
00:28:02But you know my Annabelle, always two steps ahead.
00:28:06Yeah, this certainly has been true now, hasn't it?
00:28:09So, what can I do you for?
00:28:12Let's go.
00:28:14I need to book the Grand Holland for a wedding.
00:28:17My wedding to my fiancé, Matthew Furness.
00:28:20And we will be documenting the whole thing through the front page feature of this summer's issue of Timeless Bride.
00:28:27Is that it?
00:28:28This summer's issue, Lucas.
00:28:30I know it's fast, but it is as good for you as it is for me.
00:28:34Yeah, well, summer's all booked up.
00:28:37Holland's been closed for months, so we can't do it.
00:28:39There's a huge backlog.
00:28:40Well, we don't need it in summer.
00:28:42We need it for the summer issue, so...
00:28:44We need the Grand Holland in three weeks.
00:28:47Three weeks.
00:28:48Okay.
00:28:49Three weeks.
00:28:49Girl, are you out of your mind?
00:28:51The birthday room over at the Bowman Alley needs more than three weeks to host a pack of third graders,
00:28:55but I guess you expect...
00:28:55You're not talking to a third grader.
00:28:58You're talking to a professional.
00:28:59Then you should know better.
00:29:02Is the calendar open or not?
00:29:03Of course it isn't.
00:29:04Next summer, maybe we can make something work, but right now, we are booked solid.
00:29:08Who do I need to talk to?
00:29:08And bookings online are anonymous, and I'm not about to let you harass my...
00:29:12Who do I need to talk to?
00:29:14You want to push someone else's dream out so that you can have your day, Belle?
00:29:17Is that who you are now?
00:29:18We need two days, Lucas, and the Grand Holland will be on the front page of the biggest bridal magazine
00:29:23in the country.
00:29:27You know?
00:29:29Bowling Alley has a pretty exclusive list this time of year.
00:29:32I am not getting married in a bowling alley!
00:29:34I am trying to help you, and you're just...
00:29:36Go!
00:29:38Time looks bright. It's in your foyer.
00:29:41You know, the magazine there?
00:29:42I don't know if you can read, but my name, it's on the inside cover.
00:29:47Well...
00:29:48Thank you for your time.
00:29:52Bye-bye.
00:29:56You know our first wedding on the books isn't for another six weeks.
00:30:00Yep.
00:30:01Lucas, why are you being such a jerk?
00:30:04Me? A jerk?
00:30:06Not on your life.
00:30:07Oh, an olive?
00:30:09Oh, an olive? Get rid of that magazine.
00:30:14You knew?
00:30:15I wouldn't say that. I knew that it didn't matter who was running the place. You were getting married at
00:30:21the Grand Holland one way or another.
00:30:22Mom, that was a lot. Considering how things ended, a lot barely covers it.
00:30:28Yeah, no, that was terrible.
00:30:29Terrible? That was incredible. Who is this Lucas guy?
00:30:33Oh, my God. We used to date.
00:30:37Don't be silly. Those two were inseparable until Belle...
00:30:41Mom, we have a childhood sweetheart in the mix? Wonderful. This is the backwoods small town drama I need.
00:30:48Well, we're sunk, because if we don't have the Holland, then we have to...
00:30:51Belle, just take a breath. There is still plenty more to do. We have the cake tasting tomorrow and the
00:30:57bridal appointment the day after that.
00:30:58Yeah, with no venue to put it.
00:31:00Okay, so I don't like, like, like my job, but I also don't really want to find a new one.
00:31:05Your mom is right. Plus, Timeless needs content. Let them eat cake.
00:31:11Fine. Okay, you're right. He just gets me so...
00:31:13You just need to talk to him!
00:31:16Honey, there's history there.
00:31:18And there's a lot on the line for you, so just be honest and do not go in there yelling...
00:31:23He started that!
00:31:24Did he, hon?
00:31:29I'll talk to him tomorrow, okay? Just give everyone time to cool off.
00:31:32You might go look for him at the carriage bar.
00:31:36His dad's place?
00:31:38It's his carriage bar now. You've missed a lot.
00:31:41Good night.
00:31:45Good night.
00:32:10Bye!
00:32:11I don't know.
00:33:03So, all this and the holland, too.
00:33:06All this and the holland, too.
00:33:08And now you're here.
00:33:10For what?
00:33:11I think I was about as clear as I could make myself yesterday.
00:33:13I'm sorry.
00:33:14Okay, I didn't expect to see you.
00:33:19It's not exactly every little girl's dream to have to book their wedding venue for their ex-boyfriend.
00:33:24No.
00:33:26Not exactly every ex-boyfriend's dream to host their old girlfriend's wedding?
00:33:31I know.
00:33:32I know.
00:33:32And if I had have known, then I would have given you a heads up, but...
00:33:37Oh, it's such a mess.
00:33:39What is?
00:33:39Your wedding?
00:33:41What?
00:33:41No, I was talking about us.
00:33:48Yeah, well, you left and I stayed.
00:33:52It seems about the sound of it.
00:33:54That is not fair.
00:33:56You make it sound so easy when you say it like that.
00:33:58You left and I stayed.
00:33:59Wasn't it?
00:34:02Sometimes, yeah, leaving was easy.
00:34:05Others, I was so pissed and I was the hardest thing I want.
00:34:11And now you're back.
00:34:13Now I'm back.
00:34:14There's some old building.
00:34:15It is more than that, and you know it.
00:34:19You wouldn't have bought the place if you didn't love it, too.
00:34:22Yeah, inherited the carriage barn.
00:34:24Only made sense to add to hollering after I heard old man Worthington was retiring.
00:34:28Well, that's awful industrious for the Lucas I know.
00:34:30I thought you hated the carriage barn.
00:34:32Old machines, big animals, lots of happy, smiling people.
00:34:36A lot worse you can do than to be of service.
00:34:40Make other people's dreams come true, if only for a day.
00:34:46Miss Beauty brought back memories.
00:34:53Yeah, she's been out of commission for years.
00:34:55Yeah, she's worn through and it needs to never wield, but...
00:35:01I don't think so old, we gotta get new parts forged.
00:35:07I suppose you got a good blacksmith you could recommend.
00:35:11Can't say that I do.
00:35:12No?
00:35:12No.
00:35:14Here, I thought you were some big-time fancy magazine editor.
00:35:18Here I was, thinking you're some South Carolina hayseed.
00:35:21I mean, if anyone should know a blacksmith.
00:35:23Well, I got horseshoes and things taken care of, but just nothing so specialized there, sweetheart.
00:35:30So why are you here now, huh?
00:35:33You want to catch up on old times, or you can hold my feet to the fire by getting your
00:35:37date?
00:35:44Lucas, I really wish I didn't have to ask this of you, but I'm in love, and I'm in trouble.
00:35:50The magazine isn't doing well.
00:35:52The magazine isn't doing well, okay?
00:35:52This isn't just about me.
00:35:54Can't we just leave the past behind us, okay?
00:35:57Because I need help from my friend.
00:36:04Girl, I'm only your friend when you need something.
00:36:08I thought...
00:36:08You left.
00:36:09Remember?
00:36:14And you brought your portable paparazzi with you, I see.
00:36:17No, no.
00:36:17Hey, hey, look.
00:36:18I got too much work to do, and you are wasting my time.
00:36:21There's no room in the schedule for the stunt you're trying to pull.
00:36:23Lucas, please.
00:36:26Will you just think about it?
00:36:32Really?
00:36:33You couldn't wait five minutes?
00:36:35I was this close.
00:36:36See, it's not my fault that the most interesting thing about this wedding is playing out between you and your
00:36:41old boyfriend.
00:36:42No, no, no, no.
00:36:43Come on, we're going to be late for the cake.
00:36:44While.
00:36:45Let's go, you're driving.
00:36:50Here's the rest of your party.
00:36:54There she is.
00:36:55Hey, what are you doing here?
00:36:58You thought I was going to let you have all the fun?
00:37:01Look, I know you're a professional, but I happen to think I've absorbed some of your brilliance secondhand.
00:37:06Okay, well, you could have texted and let me know you were coming down.
00:37:10And miss the look on your face right now?
00:37:13Yeah, no, I just can't believe you're here, that's all.
00:37:16I have a surprise.
00:37:20Oh?
00:37:21Yeah, Riley.
00:37:22Riley, why don't you give us a turn?
00:37:27Mother is here to help oversee some of the finer details of the wedding, since you are...
00:37:35With all your respect and love in my heart, if your girl isn't a classically trained Parisian partizier, then I
00:37:41don't.
00:37:42Annabelle, how wonderful to see you.
00:37:44Join us.
00:37:45Oh, you look tired.
00:37:48Hi, Patricia. It's so good you could make the trip down.
00:37:51Be a peach and try the frosting on the lemon cake for me. Is it more of a buttermilk or
00:37:56buttercream?
00:37:57I'm sure that it is delicious.
00:37:59And have we found out if they can do a three-tiered cake with an elegant fondant pop?
00:38:03Cupcake towers are old news, and I'll be dead before these bumpkins slap sheet cake on the table and call
00:38:09it cut.
00:38:10I am sure they can do whatever we want them to do.
00:38:12And what about the red velvet?
00:38:14Is it rich, dense, decadent?
00:38:16The color looks sickly over this.
00:38:19Okay.
00:38:20Look at that. Teamwork makes the dream work, huh?
00:38:22And get the girl back in here.
00:38:24I need to know if these ingredients are locally sourced.
00:38:26I don't want us pouring a cement mixture of processed sugars down our guests' throats.
00:38:32Matthew, a word?
00:38:33Yep.
00:38:33Yep.
00:38:34Yeah.
00:38:35Try the double chocolate.
00:38:36And turn me around while you do.
00:38:38I need to judge your reaction to see if the cake is...
00:38:41What is that?
00:38:43I said I wanted to help, and voila.
00:38:47Bringing Cyber Patricia wasn't exactly what I had in mind.
00:38:50I know.
00:38:50But like you said, she's your boss.
00:38:52And if you won't let her sweat the small stuff and I can't help you, then what else am I
00:38:56supposed to do?
00:38:57It's our wedding. There is no small stuff.
00:38:59Okay, well, you know this is a professional obligation as much as it is a celebration.
00:39:03Okay, but I still want it to feel like our wedding.
00:39:05And it will feel like our wedding.
00:39:07It will always be our wedding.
00:39:10We just want to help you carry some of the weight.
00:39:16You know what? Here.
00:39:17Come back. Take a breath.
00:39:19Relax with me.
00:39:20I got the king's suite at the hotel on first in the mail.
00:39:23Now you know it's bad luck for the bride and groom to co-help a date before the wedding date.
00:39:28Mom, that's the night before the wedding.
00:39:30Same difference.
00:39:32Now, Matthew, if you'll excuse us, Belle and I have other business to attend to.
00:39:37Many hands make light work.
00:39:38Of course.
00:39:39It's so nice to finally meet you in person, June.
00:39:41And to you as well, handsome.
00:39:43Belle, I believe there's another obligation calling on a from a cross-taste.
00:39:49If you show me one more Italian...
00:39:53Here we go.
00:39:56All right, where were we?
00:40:02Here's the red velvet.
00:40:04Sorry about the color.
00:40:05I promise it tastes good.
00:40:10And just so you know, I don't make sheetkicks.
00:40:16Look, Belle, I know you have your reasons, but I don't think it's right how that woman was barking orders
00:40:21at you from a tiny screen.
00:40:24Look, the wedding is three weeks away, okay?
00:40:26I'm lucky to have the help.
00:40:28And these are the people you work with?
00:40:30I thought you were a big shot making the tough calls and barking your own orders.
00:40:36There's a lot more on the line than just my ego, okay?
00:40:38It just didn't feel right.
00:40:40Seeing you on your back foot like that, it doesn't feel like the Belle I know.
00:40:44Well, please, take a seat.
00:40:48Mom, really?
00:40:53Okay.
00:40:54The Belle I know is tenacious and self-assured and wouldn't be taking some backward jabs from a talking rectangle
00:41:04without giving it back as good as she gets.
00:41:08And you know why?
00:41:10Why?
00:41:12Because, Belle, you're usually right.
00:41:15And you are talented, and you have the experience.
00:41:20And you've been thinking about this day ever since the first time your dad took you to the Grand Holland.
00:41:28Yeah, and I am still that person.
00:41:30It's just that things are more complicated now.
00:41:33Everything's complicated about a wedding.
00:41:35Yeah.
00:41:36But love, that's as simple as it comes.
00:41:41Okay, Mom, I get it.
00:41:42You don't like Patricia, but family drama is as much a part of weddings as cake is.
00:41:48I'm talking about Matthew.
00:41:51You looked frazzled when you saw him.
00:41:55Frazzled?
00:41:56No, no, no, I, I, I was surprised, that's all.
00:42:00I mean, after the last few days I've had, anyone in their right mind would be.
00:42:05And you're happy with all of this?
00:42:09I, of course, of course, this is what I want.
00:42:13Because if you're not, you just say the word, and I will tell them all where to stick it.
00:42:18Mom.
00:42:20Because if I looked like you did back there, you'd be having the same talk with me.
00:42:27I know.
00:42:32I just need a rest.
00:42:34Things will be better tomorrow.
00:42:42I love you.
00:42:43I love you, too.
00:42:46I'll let you know when I'm starting dinner.
00:42:49Unless your posse decides to show up and turn things upside down instead.
00:42:55Yeah.
00:43:17I hope this is all part of your wish, Dad.
00:43:25And, uh, three, two, one, give us a twirl.
00:43:30Can we at least try something with a crinoline and a train?
00:43:34We're trying to make a statement here, and I don't think that...
00:43:37That the bride should feel comfortable in her own dress?
00:43:39Excuse me?
00:43:40Uh, if we're trying to lean into small-town authentic, we could go bohemian?
00:43:46No.
00:43:46No.
00:43:48Okay.
00:43:48Mess up like a sexy Elvis for all.
00:43:50I care.
00:43:52I'm thinking classic is the move.
00:43:55Something elegant.
00:43:58You thinking what I'm thinking?
00:44:01A-line.
00:44:30You look so beautiful.
00:44:32Belle, oh, belle, oh, belle.
00:44:34Now that does almost drink timeless pride.
00:44:40Talk me off.
00:44:42I just think our readers would be more inclined to see themselves in something like...
00:44:47You worry about your readers, and I'll worry about my daughter.
00:44:50Don't take that tone with me.
00:44:53I'm trying to set the stage here for something that no one has ever seen before.
00:44:57And I will not be kneecapped by bad taste.
00:45:00Excuse me for advocating for what my daughter actually wants on one of the biggest days of her life.
00:45:06Last time I checked, she's the one walking down the aisle.
00:45:12Of course, we need to make some significant alterations to get it ready for prime time.
00:45:18Maybe a tighter corset.
00:45:20Or a more vigorous gym routine.
00:45:22What is wrong with you?
00:45:24We were all thinking that.
00:45:26No, no, no, no.
00:45:26No one else here was thinking that.
00:45:29Some of us can give people a compliment without sneaking a dagger into it.
00:45:33I don't know what you think you know about bridal fashion, but I can only assume that you got married
00:45:39in a sundress at the county courthouse.
00:45:42Now, if you think some off-the-rack bric-a-brac is ready for the cover of my magazine...
00:45:46You should all be ashamed of yourselves.
00:45:51My Annabelle is a person, not a prop.
00:45:54And she's put it on the line for you.
00:45:58And we've lost the bride.
00:46:01Ah.
00:46:02Think she'd do that exit again for me?
00:46:17Don't jump.
00:46:22I, um, heard you had it out with your future mother-in-law.
00:46:25Yeah, well, if you met her, you'd have it out too.
00:46:30That's what, two storm outs in three days?
00:46:34Yeah, I figured you'd be here, maybe over at the bell tower.
00:46:38What made you pick here?
00:46:41Here are stairs.
00:46:46Yeah, well, I'd think better out here.
00:46:49Used to, anyway.
00:46:52Sounded like you could use a friend.
00:46:54Someone on your side.
00:46:57Oh, so you're on my side now?
00:46:59I think you're misremembering the conversation we last had.
00:47:02Yeah, I figured I owed you an apology for that, too, if you'll take it.
00:47:09Slots of words about an apology without an actual apology in there.
00:47:20I am sorry.
00:47:22I realize I've been a little combative.
00:47:26I know it must be a lot for you to be back here.
00:47:30I haven't seen you back in town since you left after your dad passed, and I wasn't thinking straight about
00:47:37what all this means to you.
00:47:40No.
00:47:43You know, losing dad made leaving easy.
00:47:48Everything here reminds me of him.
00:47:52And I knew I would have to come back and face it for the wedding, but I just thought I
00:47:58would have more time, you know, and didn't expect it to still hurt so much.
00:48:10You know, Dad and I, we used to come down here and use the stream as a wishing well.
00:48:15Wait.
00:48:17You're telling me there's money in there?
00:48:18Oh, there's way more money in there.
00:48:25You know, it's, uh, it's love, the root of that hurt.
00:48:30Takes as long as it takes, but love is what really remains.
00:48:36Well, the pain is taking its sweet time.
00:48:39Running away from it doesn't exactly speed up the process.
00:48:42I wasn't running away.
00:48:43I just, I, I just needed to be somewhere else.
00:48:46I needed to focus my energy into something else, something productive for me.
00:48:56You know, the people that stayed, they had their own work to do.
00:49:01I know your mother would love to see more of you.
00:49:04I would.
00:49:06I'd like to see more.
00:49:07I know, I know, and I owed you a better answer than grief for breaking things off after all those
00:49:12years together.
00:49:13I'm sorry.
00:49:18What?
00:49:19Water under the bridge.
00:49:27I always thought you'd come after me.
00:49:31I almost did.
00:49:34A lot of times I wanted to.
00:49:38But, so I'm going to stay here and keep an eye on all this.
00:49:45And I thought that if I could build on all these old foundations, it, I don't know, maybe one day
00:49:51you come back home and we could all heal.
00:49:59Yeah, well, I couldn't handle it.
00:50:01I guess I messed things up pretty good, huh?
00:50:04Yeah, don't beat yourself up.
00:50:06No one can handle that, not without help.
00:50:10Yeah.
00:50:14Well, thanks for coming and talking me down, Lucas.
00:50:17You know, you never used to know what to say, but you're doing a pretty good job of it right
00:50:21now.
00:50:23Tell you what, I'd do you one better.
00:50:26I, uh, spoke with Olive, and we were able to move some things around.
00:50:33Yeah, well, pollen's all yours.
00:50:38Oh, you, this is the first bit of good news I've had since I got here.
00:50:42It really means the world.
00:50:44It wouldn't be right to do any less.
00:50:47Okay, so what's next?
00:50:49Hmm, come on by in the morning.
00:50:51We'll get the paperwork squared away, and then you have got a wedding to plan and no time to do
00:50:56it.
00:50:56Oh, is that it?
00:50:59Great.
00:51:00Come on, this way.
00:51:05You're welcome.
00:51:16Good morning.
00:51:17You're early?
00:51:18We're behind as it is.
00:51:19Where do you want us?
00:51:21This way.
00:51:28Thank you, Lucas.
00:51:32All right.
00:51:33Hope you don't mind us setting you up out here.
00:51:38Whoa.
00:51:40Okay.
00:51:41I could get used to this.
00:51:42Yeah?
00:51:43Keeps you close enough to everything, but out of the way enough so that we're not stepping over each other.
00:51:47This will work for me.
00:51:49Couldn't ask for a better background, and look at that natural light.
00:51:54I'll go get you our vendors list.
00:51:55Y'all may know weddings, but I know what this town does best.
00:51:59You only got, what, about two weeks now?
00:52:01You're going to need all the help you can get, and it is going to go by quick.
00:52:05Thank you for the reminder.
00:52:08Hey, do you want me to dial in the truck?
00:52:12With all due love and respect in my heart?
00:52:15Absolutely not.
00:52:25Hello?
00:52:29Hello?
00:52:31Can I help you?
00:52:33Oh, hi.
00:52:35Uh, Matthew.
00:52:36Lucas.
00:52:37Pleasure to meet you.
00:52:38I'm, uh, looking for my fiancée.
00:52:41Ah, the groom.
00:52:42At last.
00:52:43Bell's on down the hallway.
00:52:44Just swing a left.
00:52:45You won't miss her.
00:52:47Bell?
00:52:48Annabelle.
00:52:49And her and her paparazzi are getting set up in that.
00:52:53I'm sorry, and you are?
00:52:55The local proprietor.
00:52:58Oh, excellent.
00:52:59Excellent.
00:52:59Uh, thank you so much, um...
00:53:02Lucas.
00:53:03Lucas.
00:53:04Lucas, Lucas.
00:53:04Mother and I are just so appreciative of everything you've done for Annabelle.
00:53:08Happy to.
00:53:09Thanks.
00:53:15Wait, okay, what if we subbed out this color?
00:53:17Uh-huh.
00:53:18Um, I just feel like we need something, like, a little bit softer.
00:53:21Like that, maybe?
00:53:22Am I interrupting something?
00:53:24Hey, welcome to the Holland.
00:53:26Cool.
00:53:29Thought you should know.
00:53:30My fitting was fantastic.
00:53:32I'll be looking as dapper as Gatsby for you.
00:53:34Oh.
00:53:34Well, thank you for taking care of that.
00:53:36Every little bit helps.
00:53:38Ann, I heard your fitting was...
00:53:40Fine.
00:53:41You know, it was, uh, it was great.
00:53:44You know how mother can be.
00:53:46Yeah, I do.
00:53:47Mm-hmm.
00:53:48But this place...
00:53:50I mean, it's so beautiful.
00:53:51I can't believe you can find something like this so far, Sal.
00:53:54Yeah.
00:53:55Oh, and, uh, I met the owner on the way in.
00:53:57Oh, uh, you did?
00:53:58Yeah, um, Logan.
00:54:00He seems like a swell guy.
00:54:02Yeah, well, without him, we would be getting married at the birthday room in the bowling alley,
00:54:07so.
00:54:08Be a lot easier, though, wouldn't it?
00:54:09I don't know.
00:54:10I've heard they have a pretty exclusive list this time of year.
00:54:15Okay.
00:54:16But really, what can I take off your plate?
00:54:21Honestly, right now, I think I just need space to spread out and get started.
00:54:26Space.
00:54:28Okay.
00:54:29I will leave you to it.
00:54:31I should probably get home anyway and make sure the place doesn't burn down.
00:54:36But I'll be back.
00:54:38Okay?
00:54:38Okay.
00:54:42Bye.
00:54:43Bye.
00:54:50Sal, do you want us?
00:54:52Let's do this.
00:54:53All right, I'm thinking first things first.
00:54:56We need invitations out immediately.
00:54:59Okay, I bet you we should turn in that QR code article now.
00:55:03Squares within squares on it.
00:55:17Riley, what's the update from HQ?
00:55:19We have features in the works, on the town, and the venue.
00:55:23Can we send them all of our photo and video assets so they can get going on teasers?
00:55:28Yeah, sure.
00:55:34Look, can't you suppose we're really pulling it all together?
00:55:38Was that a compliment?
00:55:41Oh, I didn't think she had it in her.
00:55:44Next, I'm going to need you to distract Cyber Patricia at the bakery.
00:55:48On it.
00:55:50Let her win that one.
00:55:52And apologize to that poor patissier for me.
00:55:55Then I need you on a seating chart.
00:56:01Just don't spend too much time on it, because Patricia is going to rewrite the whole thing anyway.
00:56:09I was hungry.
00:56:11Me.
00:56:12Perfect timing, Mom.
00:56:13I need you on flowers.
00:56:15Oh, no problem.
00:56:15I know the woman who runs wild thistle florals.
00:56:18I'll be right on it.
00:56:20Peace.
00:56:20Before I forget.
00:56:26I'll be working with Lucas on the ceremony and logistics from the procession to bokeh cuts.
00:56:31We will be going through him for all the vendors, catering, rentals, etc.
00:56:36Wi-Fi for the live stream?
00:56:37Mm-hmm.
00:56:39If anyone can help, it's Lucas.
00:56:41He'll let us know the best places for running power to our live stream setups.
00:56:50All right.
00:56:51But you two will carry on through for photos with Cage before we do your formal grand entrance into the
00:56:57reception.
00:56:58Okay.
00:56:58And what do you think about moving the tables around at the front to make some room for the dance
00:57:02floor?
00:57:04Yeah.
00:57:06You're good at this.
00:57:07Eh.
00:57:08It's my job.
00:57:10Yeah.
00:57:10Helping running a magazine is your job.
00:57:12This wedding plan is a whole different angle.
00:57:13You're really in the trenches now.
00:57:15Well, a bride knows what a bride wants.
00:57:19And what about catering and photography?
00:57:22How are we going to move them through the space once everyone is settled?
00:57:25This way.
00:57:26That hallway there to the kitchen actually acts as a secret highway for personnel.
00:57:31Perfect.
00:57:34We're not going to have a job if handsome Mr. Carriageman walks off with the bride.
00:57:39Don't be mean.
00:57:42When was the last time you even saw Matty?
00:57:46Hmm?
00:57:47Where is he?
00:57:54I think the blue could be nice.
00:57:57We're aiming for the height of fashion.
00:57:59Not some pimple-covered pubescent at his junior prom.
00:58:05Okay, so, not the blue.
00:58:09Oh, come on.
00:58:10I'm not an influencer.
00:58:11I'm an editor.
00:58:13And while that might be true, you did sign up for this.
00:58:16And we need a profile on our editor and chief bride.
00:58:19Okay, but I do better behind the scenes, making, you know, and we are rolling.
00:58:25Riley!
00:58:26Go.
00:58:27What do you want me to say?
00:58:29Seriously?
00:58:30Most of the time I can't get you to shut up.
00:58:32So just do the Annabelle thing.
00:58:36The Annabelle thing.
00:58:41Every little girl dreams of her wedding.
00:58:44Growing up, I got to live those dreams.
00:58:49Summer after summer, helping out of the Grand Holland with my dad.
00:58:53It's just one little piece of the riddle that is love and matrimony.
00:59:01My dad always used to say that happily ever after is built one moment at a time.
00:59:08And that dreams are always stronger when we dream them together.
00:59:14Now this day, it's just one day.
00:59:19But in it are all the seeds of a lifetime.
00:59:24And the promise of a future yet to come.
00:59:28It's a commitment to each other.
00:59:30And a dream of what your life could be, or will be, if you build it together.
00:59:41How is that?
00:59:43That's the one.
00:59:47Annabelle, come look at this.
00:59:50Wow.
00:59:51Okay.
00:59:52It's doing good.
00:59:53It's not just doing good, it's doing great.
00:59:56Wow, look at that number.
00:59:59And that spike?
01:00:01That's all you.
01:00:03Ah, you helped.
01:00:09It's these ones for me.
01:00:11Yes.
01:00:13Cage, we need a picture to commemorate the moment.
01:00:16We finally have world peace.
01:00:21Okay, no need to be smart.
01:00:24Just because I can't see you doesn't mean that I can't hear you.
01:00:27Now, Annabelle, how's the dress coming?
01:00:30I need to see an update on what our blushing bride is going to be.
01:00:33Trisha, I will have the first and last word about the dress I will be wearing at my wedding.
01:00:50We ready?
01:00:52We ready?
01:00:53Oh yeah, we're ready.
01:01:09Honey, you look hot.
01:01:12You look hot.
01:01:15I'm going to have a moment with my daughter, please.
01:01:17Say it no more.
01:01:30Would you say something?
01:01:33You're a dream come true.
01:01:35Your father would be so nice.
01:01:39I know.
01:01:41I mean, I need a dozen handkerchiefs.
01:01:44Well, we will strap a fanny pack full of them to Riley.
01:01:50Mom, um...
01:01:52Yes, honey?
01:01:53With something...
01:01:56With Dad gone, would you walk me down the aisle?
01:02:01Oh, of course, I'd be honored.
01:02:04I couldn't get a date and time anyway.
01:02:09Hey, Belle, I'm just...
01:02:14What do you think?
01:02:16Oh, you...
01:02:19It's perfect.
01:02:22Well, when you're done, there's something I need to show you.
01:02:25So, uh, go and get dressed and I'll pull my truck around.
01:02:30Okay.
01:02:39All right, get close.
01:02:41Hey.
01:02:42You ready for this?
01:02:43I'm so ready.
01:02:44I don't think you are.
01:02:48Can I take it off now?
01:02:49Oh, yeah, yeah, it's a surprise.
01:02:51How do I get out?
01:02:53Hold on, hold on.
01:02:54You remember this one.
01:02:55It's stuck.
01:02:56You remember it.
01:02:57It was kind of tough.
01:02:58One second, one second.
01:02:59You should get a little kick.
01:03:00Here we go.
01:03:01Click.
01:03:01One hand.
01:03:02Two hands.
01:03:04One foot.
01:03:05Two foot.
01:03:06What is it?
01:03:07It's a surprise.
01:03:08I can't tell you.
01:03:09That would negate the surprise, but I'm going to...
01:03:12Yeah.
01:03:12Ready?
01:03:13Okay, don't walk me into anything.
01:03:15I'm going to walk you into something.
01:03:17You're not even prepared.
01:03:18Okay, we're almost there.
01:03:20Take one, two, and stop.
01:03:22Right here.
01:03:23Turn.
01:03:23Right there.
01:03:24And three, two, one.
01:03:30No way.
01:03:31You guessed it.
01:03:32Yeah.
01:03:36How did you do this?
01:03:38Well, you know, I knew a guy.
01:03:41I knew another guy.
01:03:42I knew a woman.
01:03:43Who did it for you?
01:03:45Yeah, well, they did the blacksmithing part.
01:03:47Everything else was me.
01:03:49Really?
01:03:50These very hands.
01:03:52That's how you like it.
01:03:56I love it.
01:03:58I know it sounds silly, but I've had this exact carriage in my mind for as long as I can
01:04:03remember.
01:04:04I know.
01:04:07So, this is where my beautiful bride-to-be has been hiding out all this time.
01:04:11Hey, Matthew, don't you love this?
01:04:15Yeah, two full horsepower.
01:04:17What's not to love?
01:04:18But I assume this will ferry us to some hidden limousine around the corner.
01:04:23Sneak Rosie over there a couple of carrots and she'll get you anywhere you need to go.
01:04:27Wait.
01:04:28Jump on in.
01:04:29Check it out.
01:04:30It's so beautiful.
01:04:31Uh, no, that's all right.
01:04:34I, uh, I wouldn't want to ruin my experience so close to the day.
01:04:44Honey, everything looks great.
01:04:46And I am just so happy to be back and see everything you've done just because of flying back and
01:04:50forth this month.
01:04:51Ooh, you know?
01:04:53Yeah.
01:04:53Well, I'm just happy you're here.
01:04:55I'm so ready to say I do my love.
01:04:57Say, have you, um, have you decided on what you're going to do for your bachelor party?
01:05:03There is a local spot I can take you to if you're up for a little flavor.
01:05:05Oh, I don't think that, um, you want to...
01:05:09No, really.
01:05:10I don't want to impose.
01:05:10I just came down to see if my fiancée needed anything.
01:05:13No, it's nothing, really.
01:05:14Consider it a, uh, an impromptu stack.
01:05:16And then, uh, you really don't have to do that.
01:05:18That's, um, it's...
01:05:21What do you think?
01:05:24I, uh, yeah.
01:05:25Yeah, of course.
01:05:26Fine by me.
01:05:27Mm-hmm.
01:05:28All right.
01:05:28Yeah.
01:05:28Great.
01:05:29I'll pick you up.
01:05:29Sounds awesome.
01:05:30Sir.
01:05:33What's up?
01:05:34Yeah, yeah, great.
01:05:34Okay.
01:05:35That'll be some fun.
01:05:35Okay.
01:05:37All right.
01:05:38Cheers.
01:05:39Santé.
01:05:41Mm.
01:05:43Yeah, you might want to ease into that one.
01:05:46Problem is, I'm starting to like the taste.
01:05:47Oh, I see.
01:05:50So, wedding's in a few days.
01:05:52You must be getting nervous.
01:05:54Oh, no, not at all.
01:05:55Whole thing's a publicity stunt for the magazine.
01:05:58It's going to be great for Annabelle's career, of course, but...
01:06:02Yeah, I hear there's a lot riding on it.
01:06:04Yeah.
01:06:06Yeah.
01:06:07Yeah.
01:06:08You ask Mother.
01:06:10It's the end of the world if this thing doesn't go off perfectly.
01:06:12So, I'm just playing my part.
01:06:15Really more of an accessory at this point.
01:06:19You know, I've worked a lot of weddings in my day, and that's the first time if someone's
01:06:23ever put it so bluntly.
01:06:27How'd you get into weddings?
01:06:30Well, my father started a business with his father long before I was born.
01:06:33Oh, so you get it.
01:06:34What?
01:06:36All these critical life choices that are just inherited.
01:06:40We like to pretend we have a choice, but...
01:06:43No.
01:06:44Our parents control our lives as much as their parents control theirs.
01:06:47Yeah, well, I happen to love it.
01:06:49I know not everyone is lucky enough to find their soulmate.
01:06:55Soulmate?
01:06:56Yeah.
01:06:58Come on, man.
01:06:59What are we, children?
01:07:01What?
01:07:04You want to know about luck?
01:07:06Go ahead.
01:07:06I'm the luckiest guy in the world.
01:07:08Flying back and forth for weeks, barely getting to see my fiancée.
01:07:12It's enough to go mad.
01:07:14And all this luck.
01:07:20So why are you doing it?
01:07:23Because it's what's expected of me.
01:07:26Is that it?
01:07:28That is it.
01:07:30I'll pick Mother up at the airport tomorrow, and then this is happening.
01:07:34But Annabelle is great.
01:07:37I mean, truly, she is.
01:07:40And this goes off, she is going to be wildly successful, and we will inherit a publishing empire or a
01:07:45dumpster fire.
01:07:49There's that luck again, just firing on all cylinders.
01:07:54But do you love her?
01:07:59It just makes sense, you know?
01:08:04Yeah, you sound real convinced.
01:08:08To be honest, Lucas, I'm not sure I'd know what love is, really.
01:08:11Obligation?
01:08:13Expectation?
01:08:13Yeah, sure.
01:08:16Love?
01:08:18I don't know.
01:08:19Love is a kind word we use when something's too practical to pass up.
01:08:24Love is a good thing.
01:08:49What are you doing?
01:09:00Where is it?
01:09:01You can't help me.
01:09:02He doesn't love you.
01:09:03He doesn't love you, Belle.
01:09:05You went too long.
01:09:05Oh, not even a little bit.
01:09:07That guy's so worked up he started talking about his mother after one bit.
01:09:09This whole thing has shown him an obligation to his mother.
01:09:14You need to leave.
01:09:15No, no, no.
01:09:15Don't do that.
01:09:15Don't do what?
01:09:17You show up here in the middle of the night after goading my fiancée out to drink to what?
01:09:22Sabotaging?
01:09:22I'm marrying him.
01:09:23I am going to marry him in two days and there is nothing you can do.
01:09:27You can't marry him because I love you.
01:09:31I love you.
01:09:32And I know after these past couple of weeks together, I know you love me too.
01:09:39You need to wait.
01:09:41And I need to forget me every second.
01:09:45Belle.
01:10:06Can I't make the llc?
01:10:13Because I throw up any money in two days before you get flattened over her pockets?
01:10:13She lives too much down, but I don't want to make her slow down still.
01:10:13Can I never tell her, her villains?
01:10:13Even if you want, I'd be and the consolation one all the time.
01:10:13You're wrong.
01:10:14I'm loving yourgue due to the late man Manette.
01:10:14I don't want to live.
01:10:14I want you to do with him because she's a schematic.
01:10:16Mom, how did you know Dabo was your soulmate?
01:10:19I didn't.
01:10:21I don't know if I even believed in a soulmate back then.
01:10:24What?
01:10:26Your father was extremely proper.
01:10:30We'd been dating off and on for a while.
01:10:33But he was so busy with school.
01:10:37We were in an off-swing,
01:10:39and so I was looking for a new adventure.
01:10:41I mistook change for progress.
01:10:45I was young.
01:10:48This isn't the story I know.
01:10:50Yeah.
01:10:51It's the story you get when you're old enough for it.
01:10:55So what did Dad do?
01:10:57He waited until the last minute.
01:11:00That's what he did.
01:11:01If that man had had ten minutes of car trouble,
01:11:04I would have been on my way to Charleston.
01:11:08But instead,
01:11:10he showed up with a deed to this house.
01:11:16And this ring.
01:11:20And he got down on his knee
01:11:22and told me the dream of what our life could be.
01:11:29And you believed him?
01:11:32Well, every word of it came true, didn't it?
01:11:36Even after we lost him.
01:11:40You're proof of that.
01:11:45I didn't know.
01:11:50Parents are people, too.
01:11:51You live long enough you'll find that out.
01:11:57Promise me this.
01:12:00Whatever you decide,
01:12:03decide it for yourself.
01:12:04You're not.
01:12:19You're not.
01:12:22I'm not.
01:12:23I'm not.
01:12:24You it's.
01:12:30It's me now.
01:12:34I'm not.
01:12:34You looked bigger in the pictures.
01:12:36Size is no indicator of quality, Mother.
01:12:38It is when you're selling a lifestyle.
01:12:41Maybe you should wait to see the inside,
01:12:43then remarkable work.
01:12:44I'm sure Annabelle knows his place inside and out.
01:12:54Ah, I guess she does have a decent eye.
01:12:58Mother.
01:12:58So where is everyone?
01:13:03I don't know.
01:13:04I'll try herself.
01:13:14Well?
01:13:15Straight to voicemail.
01:13:17Oh, Riley!
01:13:22Patricia, how odd?
01:13:24Where is Annabelle?
01:13:26We thought she was with you.
01:13:28Well, clearly, she's not here.
01:13:30Huh.
01:13:31What is it?
01:13:33Oh, nothing at all, except it seems the bride
01:13:35has gone missing the day before the wedding.
01:13:37A notoriously good sign.
01:13:40Missing?
01:13:40What kind of operation have you people
01:13:42been running on my dime for the past month?
01:13:45There are only so many places she could be.
01:13:47We'll find her.
01:14:00Missing you!
01:14:03Let.
01:14:06Emma.
01:14:09Missing you!
01:14:18Hello!
01:14:33Oh, my God.
01:14:59You know everyone's out there looking for you right now?
01:15:02It's not like I went far.
01:15:05You weren't answering your phone.
01:15:06Left it at the Holland.
01:15:11Look, I'm sorry about last night.
01:15:15Are you?
01:15:17Not for what I said, but maybe how I said it, it wasn't my finest moment.
01:15:21Maybe.
01:15:22What do you want me to do, Belle, huh?
01:15:25Working together these past three weeks have been the happiest I've been in a long time,
01:15:28and now I just gotta watch you go on and get married?
01:15:30How did you expect this to end?
01:15:33These three weeks, we were planning my wedding.
01:15:36And I could take that when I thought he loved you.
01:15:39Your friend, Belle, I can't just let you go, Bobby.
01:15:41You do not get to let me do anything.
01:15:45It's not like I just married the first man I met after you, Lucas.
01:15:48It's been years.
01:15:48Where was my friend then?
01:15:50Come here.
01:15:50Come here.
01:15:51Come here.
01:15:51Come here.
01:15:51Stop.
01:15:55He thought he lost you forever.
01:15:57Okay?
01:15:58He didn't know if he could go through that again.
01:16:05I'm getting married tomorrow and I'm getting back to my life.
01:16:09So what?
01:16:10You're just gonna go off and get hitched, run on back to the city and act like none of this
01:16:14even mattered?
01:16:15I love you more than you could know.
01:16:18But it doesn't change anything, Lucas, and it is horrible and it's beautiful and it's messy, but it just is,
01:16:26Lucas.
01:16:27We can imagine all these different versions of our life, but we only get the one that we get, okay?
01:16:30So I am getting married tomorrow and I cannot just throw it all away for you.
01:16:41And that's the picture.
01:16:49That was a mistake.
01:16:51That didn't mean I was a mistake.
01:16:52No, you cannot.
01:16:53Say that to me the day before my wedding.
01:16:56I have other people relying on me, Riley and Kate and the whole office.
01:17:02I'm doing this for everybody.
01:17:05Love, you do it for yourself.
01:17:08You have to choose for yourself.
01:17:11What do you really want?
01:17:17I can't see you again.
01:17:20Lucas, if you love me half as much as you say you do, then you won't come to her.
01:17:39I don't know my name, but just...
01:17:40What is it?
01:17:41Just because you date someone who's Y&R doesn't make your loss of Y&R.
01:17:44Okay, let's keep eating.
01:17:46Okay, you can call off the hunt.
01:17:48Hey.
01:17:49What happened?
01:17:50We were worried about you.
01:17:51She just stepped outside for some mirror and I left my phone behind.
01:17:53Okay, just line up a deal.
01:17:54Okay, well, we would all be more comfortable knowing where you are.
01:17:57Okay.
01:17:57People tend to wonder when a bride goes missing the day before a wedding.
01:18:02Hi, Patricia.
01:18:03So glad you could make it after all the work had been done.
01:18:05Mm-hmm.
01:18:06What excellent work it is.
01:18:10Would you mind giving us a moment?
01:18:18Belle.
01:18:19Everything okay?
01:18:20Nothing.
01:18:21Really?
01:18:21Really?
01:18:34Okay, I know tensions are running high, but you can't just disappear as soon as mother shows up.
01:18:39You make it sound like it's her wedding.
01:18:41Hey, this is bigger than us now.
01:18:44Well, tonight, at the rehearsal dinner, it is very important that we make a good first impression.
01:18:53Everyone is going to be there.
01:18:55Mother, Riley, Cage.
01:19:09My, my.
01:19:12You will look lovely when she's finished with you.
01:19:16Would you excuse us for a moment?
01:19:18Here we go.
01:19:25You know, you really have outdone yourself.
01:19:28Not without a little bit of help, of course, but the venue looks incredible.
01:19:34Thank you, Patricia.
01:19:38But that's not all you've been up to, is it?
01:19:43And what do you mean?
01:19:45All these cameras around, and you don't think I have eyes and ears everywhere with the amount of money that
01:19:51we poured into this?
01:19:54I don't understand.
01:19:57I know about the ex-boyfriend.
01:19:59Is that why you ran off yesterday?
01:20:02Patricia, what are you trying to say?
01:20:04I'm here to underline the seriousness of the situation.
01:20:09Timeless bride.
01:20:11The people who work there.
01:20:14They're all counting on you.
01:20:19Keep them in mind.
01:20:22The next time you think about getting cold feet.
01:20:25Or some country boy.
01:21:04What do you see?
01:21:08The last time you think about getting cold feet.
01:21:08Some people say oh, you know okay?
01:21:08See, y'all, you're going to be kidding.
01:21:10Olive, have you seen Lucas?
01:21:13Uh, no, he's not, um, he's out.
01:21:17Well, where is he?
01:21:26Oh, thank God.
01:21:31What are you doing here?
01:21:32Don't you have a job to do somewhere else?
01:21:34Look, I get it, you don't like me.
01:21:36I was spying on you that one time, and I've been too committed to getting the shot.
01:21:41Just leave me alone.
01:21:44You've been working in weddings almost your whole life, right?
01:21:48One way or another.
01:21:49Ever seen a bride on a wedding day?
01:21:51More times than I can count.
01:21:53They normally look like this.
01:22:01She made her choice.
01:22:03Listen to yourself.
01:22:04You own a wedding venue and a carriage barn.
01:22:07Don't you have a romantic bone in your body?
01:22:10This woman does not want to marry that man.
01:22:13But she's been cornered into it.
01:22:15A picture is worth a thousand words, and every single word here says no.
01:22:26She told me not to come today.
01:22:28The ceremony is in 45 minutes.
01:22:30If you don't do something today, you are going to regret this for the rest of your life.
01:22:54Well, I'm exactly going to wish him well.
01:22:56You're not.
01:23:23You're not.
01:23:26Please, be seated.
01:23:32Are you sure you want to do this?
01:23:36I'm not sure about anything anymore.
01:23:38Welcome, loved ones.
01:23:40We are here on this spectacular day
01:23:43to celebrate the love of Matthew Furness and Annabelle Ansel
01:23:49and join them in holy matrimony.
01:23:53And I can't think of a better venue
01:23:57to celebrate that partnership
01:23:59than right here in the Grand Holland
01:24:02where a lifetime commitment to the sacred art of love
01:24:07was begun by our very own Annabelle Ansel.
01:24:12What are you doing?
01:24:14I, Matthew Furness.
01:24:18I, Matthew Furness.
01:24:21Promise to cherish you always.
01:24:25I didn't drag you off a barstool so you could do nothing.
01:24:28To honor and sustain you in sickness and in health,
01:24:33in poverty and in wealth.
01:24:36It ain't my choice.
01:24:38To cherish.
01:24:39She's the one who's got to make it.
01:24:40Sustain you in sickness and in health
01:24:42and in poverty and in wealth.
01:24:44And to be true to you always
01:24:48until death do us part.
01:24:53And then to be true to you in all things
01:24:56until death do us part.
01:24:59And I, Annabelle Ansel...
01:25:09I can't do this.
01:25:13What do you mean you can't do this?
01:25:17I'm so sorry, Matthew.
01:25:21I can't marry you.
01:25:25You are going to disgrace yourself
01:25:28and me
01:25:29and the entire magazine for what?
01:25:32You can't force people to get married.
01:25:34That is not how this works.
01:25:36This isn't right for either of us.
01:25:38If you walk out that door,
01:25:40you're finished in this industry.
01:25:46With all due love and respect in my heart, Patricia,
01:25:50I am finished with you.
01:25:56Are you just going to stand there and take this?
01:25:59She's humiliating you.
01:26:03No, Mom.
01:26:05She's humiliating you.
01:26:10You'd have washed out of everything you have ever done
01:26:12if it worked for me.
01:26:17Man.
01:26:25Lucas!
01:26:28Lucas!
01:26:30Yeah?
01:26:32Well?
01:26:37Lucas!
01:26:38What are you doing here?
01:26:39I thought you'd be married by now.
01:26:41I didn't get married.
01:26:43Why not?
01:26:45Because I needed my soulmate for it to be perfect.
01:26:49It's you, Lucas.
01:26:50It has always been you.
01:26:58Now that's the picture.
01:27:06I need you.
01:27:07I need you.
01:27:08I need you.
01:27:09I need you.
01:27:11I need you.
01:27:12I need you.
01:27:13I need you.
01:27:14I need you.
