From Friend to Fiancé (2019) - full transcript

RIP-FIXES-SYNC
by VaVooM

I love weddings.

Really, I love
everything about them.

There's something magical
about family and friends coming

together to watch two people promise
to love one another, forever.

By the way, that's not me.
I'm over there.

That's me, Jessica Parks!

Like I said, "I love weddings".

I love them so much in fact
that all my friends

ask me to plan theirs.
Turns out I'm pretty good at it.

All those precious moments,
you know, the ones,



where the bride playfully
and spontaneously smears

cake into the groom's face?
Yeah, I planned it. The time,

the camera angle,
the cake placement, everything.

OK, yeah, yeah.
OK, one second, please.

If it happens
during the wedding,

it's because I planned it
that way.

Hi! That went well!

Hey, Michelle.
One vegan dish coming up.

Best wedding photographer
in the city.

Lucky to get him.

Amazing cupcakes, Jess.

So glad you helped
organize Tina's wedding.

- You're such a good friend.
- Well, team effort.

Actually, not to sound
too immodest,



I kind of masterminded
this whole thing.

I can't imagine how beautiful
your wedding day will be.

Someday...

That's Rob. He's my date.

I know it's a little early
in the relationship to be

inviting someone to a wedding,
but we've really been jiving,

so I figured a wedding
can only bring us closer.

Right?

- Hey.
- Hey.

I think we need to split up.

I did not plan this.

What?

Look, it's... it's not you.
You are... you are great.

OK, well, if I'm so great,
why are you splitting up with me?

I just feel like
we never really...

I don't know, jived.

Also, I ran into my ex-girlfriend.

I...

I think we're really
reconnecting, you know?

Yeah, so I think we gonna leave.

Hi. OK. Thanks, Liam.

Molly, looking strong
and ready; when's the due date?

- Four more weeks.
- Alright. Can't wait to meet

- the little guy. Or girl.
- Hey, Ted.

Thanks for hooking up my cousin
with a guest pass, man.

- Really appreciate it.
- Yeah. Well, I got some pull.

I am the Ted of "Ted's Gym".

Jess, are you OK?

He dumped me.

Yeah. Rob dumped me,
so that's good.

I'm sorry.
He seemed nice.

Yeah, he was.

- He was.
- Didn't see it coming?

- How...
- OK, OK, I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

Come on, we'll get you
cleaned up, OK?

"See it coming"...

- Is that coffee?
- No, it's water.

You need to hydrate,
make you feel better.

Thank you.

So...

you say he broke up
with you at the wedding?

No, no. He broke up with me
at the reception,

not at the service, which
I thought was very sweet of him.

Yeah, it's very sweet,

but I think he's a jerk,
and he doesn't deserve you

and you should forget about him.

Jess, you're...
kind and intelligent and beautiful

and everything
that anybody could ever ask for.

- Everyone except for Rob.
- Forget Rob.

Somebody better
will come along, I promise.

You always took
such good care of me.

You still do.

We take care of each other.
It's what best friends do, right?

Drink.

Speaking of,
I've been thinking a lot lately

about life
and love and friendship.

Jess...
I'm engaged.

- Wha... What?!
- I know, it's crazy.

- Who? What? Where?
- And sudden.

- I mean, congratulations!
- Thanks.

I didn't even know you were dating.

I mean, usually,
you tell me you're dating.

I know. That's kind
of part of the thing.

I didn't want you to disapprove.

Disapprove?
Why would I disapprove?

Do I know her?

Is it one
of your ex-girlfriends?

Is it Amanda? Because I want you to
be happy, Ted, but not with Amanda.

No, no, it's not Amanda.

Is it the one who made those
creepy porcelain doll things?

- What was her name?
- Terry.

- Terry?!
- No, it's not Terry.

OK, good. She was weird.

It's Kimberly Kentwood.

Kimberly Kentwood...

the meanest girl in high school,
Kimberly Kentwood?

- OK, I'd rather it'd be Scary Terry.
- OK, look, I know what you're thinking,

but she's totally changed.
Wouldn't even recognize her anymore.

She looks different?

Well, no, she looks the same.
Actually, it's kind of weird.

Thank goodness!
I mean, Kimberly Kentwood

still looks gorgeous. I'm...

Do you remember high school
when you were "Big Ted"

and her and all of her friends
made fun of you and me?

Yeah, but everybody made
fun of me for being Big Ted.

Not everyone.

She's amazing now, OK?

She just got out
of a long-term relationship,

and it made her think about her life
and it totally changed her. I swear.

OK.

If you are telling me that
the Queen of Mean has changed,

then, I believe you.

Thank you.

There's one more thing.

You know, you really like
to plan weddings, right?

- And you're really good at it.
- Yes.

- And you're my best friend...
- Take that, Kimberly Kentwood.

- So will you be my best woman?
- What?

- Just like a best man, but a woman.
- I know what a best woman is.

OK, so...?

I would... I would...
I would love to. Yes.

- Amazing!
- Amazing!

I get to plan
my best friend's wedding.

To Kimberly Kentwood.

So what did you say?

He's my best friend;
of course I said yes.

Tough break, Jess.
Single again.

- Check.
- Eating cupcakes for dinner.

- Check, check.
- And your incredibly hot and

successful best friend marrying
the high school mean girl.

Any more checks, I'm gonna
start sounding like a chicken.

Hey, why didn't you
ever date him?

- Ted?!
- Yes, Ted.

You're always talking
about how amazing he is,

and imagine how cute
your kids would be.

- OK, no. Enough. That's...
- Just sayin'.

And cupcakes for dinner?

Probably shouldn't make it
a habit. Know what I mean?

And he broke up with you
right there at the wedding?

Well, technically,
it was at the reception, but yes.

She said at the reception.
Pay attention, Beatrice.

I am paying attention.

Well, then turn up
your hearing aid!

And, Jessica dear,
if he broke up with you,

- then he's a jerk.
- Not the only jerk around here.

Ladies!

I think the real issue here
is that her best friend is engaged.

Isn't that right, Jess?

Yeah. I mean, Ted is a great guy,
and I want him to be happy,

just not with Kimberly Kentwood.

She sounds like a jerk too.

OK, I don't know if I support your flagrant
use of the word jerk here, Doris, but...

yeah, she's... she's a jerk.
She was a jerk.

But as his best friend,
you're gonna support his decision

and help him plan
a great wedding, right?

Yes. Of course, Mr. Mulligan.

You know what you should do?

Find someone that Ted hated
in high school and date him.

OK.

Well, thank you
for the suggestion, Doris.

Just for now,
let's just call that plan B.

The point is, Doris,
Jess likes Ted.

No. No, no, no.
No, no.

No, I don't... I don't...
I don't like Ted.

I mean not like that. We're just...
we're just best friends.

I find this
all rather confusing.

I'm gonna grab a cookie
from the mess hall.

- Come on, Beatrice, let's...
- OK, OK. Watch...

watch your sugar levels, ladies.
Especially you, Doris!

Sure you didn't want a cookie?

Believe me, I've had more than
my share of cookies in my time.

Hey...

The bad days make you
appreciate the good ones.

And just remember,
he's still your best friend

no matter who he marries.

Old people are so smart.

One of the benefits
of hanging around so long.

That and free cookies
in the mess hall.

Hey, Mom, it's me!
Not like a robber or anything.

Sweetie! How are you?

- Hi! Good. You guys?
- We're so excited.

Little Teddy getting married,
I feel so old.

Oh, please! You guys act
like half your age!

Well, that's true.
Do you feel like a bite to eat?

No. I'm just gonna go in
my old room and wait for Ted

and his fiance to show up.

Yes, yes, fiance.
I hear you all went

to school together;
do you remember her?

Vaguely.

Ted.

Jessica.

Hello. How are you?

Kimberly Kentwood
is in my house.

Well, this is Jess' mother.

So nice to meet you.

- Speaking of, where's Jess?
- She's been upstairs for a while.

Jess, darling, you're alright?

Way to go, Jess, you forgot
how to walk down the stairs?

Ted! Don't embarrass
your best woman.

Hi, Kim. How are you?

Jessica! We're old friends,
come here.

"Old friends".

OK.

Well, congratulations!

Thank you!

I never, in a million years, thought
I would ever get married,

- especially to such a gem as this one.
- He is a gem.

- You're too kind.
- No, we're not.

You are a great guy.
Back me up here, Jess.

What? Ted?

Yeah. I mean, he's cool.

Why, thank you so much
for that ringing endorsement.

She's just being funny.

Come on, Jess, you know Ted
better than anyone here.

Yeah, I mean, Ted is everything
a girl could want in a partner.

I mean...

if you're into the whole, like, tall,
handsome, smart, funny kind of thing,

which I don't look for.
I'm not... I'm not...

I'm sorry, I'm not into it.
But if you are, then that's good for you.

OK. Shall we get started?

- Yeah.
- Yeah.

OK.

So we're gonna put
the head table over here,

and we're gonna put the bar
in that corner,

and there's gonna be
a bunch of chicken fingers

for all of your guests
as a request of the groom.

What?
I like chicken fingers.

Yeah, he really likes
chicken fingers this guy.

You like it? I'll let you
win that one, buddy.

You know what I would love?
Stringed lights from tree to tree.

I was thinking the same thing.

And could we get
those old-style lightbulbs?

The ones where you can see
the filament inside, what are they called?

Edison bulbs!

- Yeah, that's it! Neat!
- I love that we make such a great team!

I love that the two most important
women in my life are getting along so well.

Really?
Two most important women?

I don't remember seeing
either of them

when I was spending 12
hours in labour with you.

Well, obviously,
I mean next to you, Mom.

- I'm sure you did.
- Hi, Mrs. Cooper. How are you?

Little Jessica!
It's been too long.

- And here she is, my daughter-in-law to be.
- Gale, nice to see you.

Speaking of women in my life,
have we told Grams

about the engagement party yet?

Yes. We just need someone
to pick her up.

- I can do that!
- You sure?

- I know you kind of got a lot on your plate.
- I love Grams!

Yeah, I can arrange
for someone to pick her up.

- OK, thanks.
- You guys about done here?

I want to show Kim
your childhood bedroom.

Yes, please.

Yeah, we pretty much
covered everything, so...

Well, yeah, why don't you
take her up to see my room,

and I'm gonna go over
one more thing with Jess.

- Go over what?
- I'll show you, come on.

You sure you want
to go up there?

You're kidding me?

It was like the most important place
in the world to me as a kid.

- OK.
- Let's go.

I haven't been in here in years.

Bringing back so many memories.

Yeah. Me too.

You used to tell me
not to pay attention to those kids

who made fun of me
for being Big Ted.

Yeah, and you would assure me
that Billy Clark would ask me out,

which, by the way,
has never happened.

You deserve better than
the Billy Clarks of the world.

Who thought we'd be here
planning my wedding?

I know.

To Kimberly Kentwood.

I know.

God, we must have been in here
a million times trash talking her,

and I'm gonna marry her.

Do you remember that time when
her and her two bully friends...

What did we call them?
The Gruesome Twosome!

Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I do.
I remember them.

Yeah, but things are different now.
You know, we're different.

I mean, I just can't figure out

how you kept it a secret
from me this whole time.

Wasn't easy.

I wanted to tell you...

just didn't know
how you'd react.

You're my best friend,
you're an amazing woman,

and you mean everything to me.

OK. Ted, you're gonna
make me cry, so...

I'm serious.

You're my best friend...

and I love you.

I don't mean like...

Not like the same way
I love Kim obviously, but...

Obviously.

This is nice.

Mr. Mulligan, everything just
went to... in a handbasket.

- Engagement party planning?
- No. Planning was fine.

Is this Kimberly person
still a jerk?

No.

Ted was right, she's actually,
like, super nice now.

So what's the problem?

I think I might like, like Ted.

- Thought you were just friends.
- Yeah. So did I.

What happened?

We started talking about how
we've been friends since childhood,

and I started thinking
about how amazing he is

and how much he means to me and...

Jessica, you can care
about somebody and admire them

without having
romantic feelings for them.

Are you sure?

Listen, you're gonna be spending a lot
of time with Ted planning the wedding.

You need to use that time to figure out
your true feelings for him.

Things will turn out.

Chin up.

Hey, Mrs. Cooper, did you
plug in the last of the lights?

- Plugged in, ready to go.
- Alright, Mr. Cooper, turn 'em on.

- Jessica Parks.
- It's me.

- You sure are good at this.
- Thank you, Gale.

Can't wait to see what you do
with your own wedding someday.

Yeah, someday.

- Jessica! Hi!
- Hi!

- Looks incredible!
- Thanks, Kim.

And the lights, you found...

Edison bulbs!

You remember Megan and Lauren?
We all went to school together.

Yeah. Megan and Lauren.

- How could I forget? It's good.
- Ladies.

- Hey!
- Ted!

- Hey.
- Hey.

- Hi.
- OK...

Jess, I can't remember ever
seeing this place look so...

...magical.

- Magical?
- Yeah, magical.

- OK, we're using magical.
- Thank you.

Yeah, Jess.
Seriously, thank you.

Hey, has anybody seen Grams?

Grams? No, but Jess was
sending someone to pick her up.

- You did send somebody, right?
- Yeah.

I'm sure she'll be here
any minute then.

If you would, I can give
her a call, see what...

No, no, no, no, no, no!
I'm gonna call my guy.

I'm gonna... Once again.

Well, would anyone like
to join me for a drink?

Yes.

Yes, Grams, I'm...
Totally my fault. I'm sorry.

- How quickly can you be ready?
- I'm ready.

OK, perfect. I'm gonna send someone
to your house to pick you up in 20 minutes.

OK...

Hi! You've reached.

Jess and Blair.
Leave a message at the beep.

Shoot!

Hey, it's me...

I need your help.

- Hey.
- Hey!

Got everything
figured out with Grams?

Yeah, it was just
a mix-up with the driver.

- She'll be here in a minute.
- Great.

- I knew I could count on you.
- You know me, Trusty Jess.

You know, I think Kim was
kind of nervous about having

the engagement party
in my childhood's backyard,

- but it turned out really good.
- It's a great idea!

I mean, you have
so much history here.

We have so much history here.

I was going through
old photos of my parents

to put together one of those
picture montages for the reception.

That is a great idea!
People love that!

There were so many
of you and I. Like this one!

Do you remember?

My 12th birthday, so you and me
pretty much in this exact spot.

We were so cool!
Even back then.

Thanks for showing me this.

Yeah.

It's good memories.

You know,
the Edison bulbs were my idea.

And just what are you two
whispering about?

- Nothing, it's... nothing.
- Guys... it's me, what's up?

- It's just that Ted's great and all...
- Yeah, and...?

But his little friend Jessica...

Yeah, they were best friends.

Well, just make sure that she doesn't
think that it's more than that.

We're just trying to watch your back,
that's all.

I have to take this, but you
enjoy the rest of your party.

Yeah.

OK.

- Patrick!
- Perfect! Perfect!

Patrick!

One grandmother delivered.

- Grams, are you OK back there?
- Are you kidding me?

Most fun I've had in years.

Give me a hug.

So nice to see you!

OK, everyone's in the back.

Go on in and I'll meet up
with you in a minute.

Maybe sooner.

Mr. Mulligan! On your scooter,
what are you thinking?

Well, it was either this or try to steal
the bus from the retirement home.

OK, she's safe, she's here,
that's all that matters.

So what happened?

How did you forget
the grandmother?

You know, I'm just...
Simple mistake.

The Jess I know doesn't usually
mess up when she's planning a wedding.

OK, well, don't read too much
into it.

But thank you and I'm gonna find
a safer ride home for her.

Well, if you can't, give me a call.

So I'll show them the garden first
where people usually set up the tents.

Yeah, we should be there shortly.
I'm just waiting for my bride and groom.

Gotta go.

- Hi!
- Hi!

Where's Ted?

He's running a little late,
he'll meet us here.

OK. Alright.

It will give us a chance to get
to know each other a little more.

Lead the way.

So we're gonna put the chairs
on the left and right

for the bride's and groom's parties,
and that creates an aisle down the middle.

And the service will be here,

which obviously gives you a beautiful
backdrop for your wedding photos.

Jess, this is beautiful.

You know, when I was a little girl,
I used to always

dreamed of having my wedding
at the St. Joseph's Castle in midtown.

Yeah, I think we all had that dream.

But I guess, apparently, they
haven't had weddings there in years.

I tried,
it's like virtually impossible.

Well, this is
a great second choice.

Yeah.

So...

you and Ted...

why didn't you guys
ever hook up?

We're just...
It's not like that between us.

Never? I don't know,
I'm just asking because

it just seems like the two of you
would be a perfect fit for one another.

Yeah. Well, people ask us that
all the time,

but we just don't feel that way
about each other, but...

No, like, Ted is obviously amazing,

and I have a serious lack
of amazing guys in my life, so...

I'm sorry, Jess. It's my ex.
I have to take this, excuse me.

What?

I told you, I can't talk
about this right now.

I'm not having
this conversation.

- Everything OK?
- No.

My ex is making my life living...
right now.

OK, well, if you want to take
a break and stop the tour...

No. It's fine, Jess, but I really need you
to be honest with me, OK? Please.

Look, there's Ted!

Quick, before he gets here,
I need to know.

- Do you have feelings for Ted?
- No, no, I don't.

- I don't have feelings. Hi, Ted.
- Hey!

- Hi!
- Hi. Sorry, I'm late.

- And look at this place.
- I know, isn't it great?

- Yeah.
- Perfect.

OK, let's go this way,

and I'll show you where we're
gonna put the dinner tent.

- Great.
- Yeah.

Thank you, Jessica.

Alright. OK.

I lied to her. I looked her
right in the eyes, and

I straight up lied to her.

Slow down!

We still have a little time
before the wedding, right?

Yeah.

Your feelings
could all be very innocent.

I have feelings for an engaged man,
that's not very innocent.

No, you think you have
feelings for an engaged man.

- I... but...
- Jessica...

someone you've known
your entire life,

someone very special to you
is getting married.

And that's the problem.

- No, that's the cause of your feelings.
- What?

Things in your life
have been very turbulent lately.

A relationship you saw
going forward ended

forcing you to look backwards.

That could easily create
a confusing situation for anyone.

My life has been very...
How did you put it?

- Turbulent.
- Turbulent.

It would explain
why you've been distracted

and forgot to arrange
a ride for Ted's grandmother.

Well, don't worry
because from now on,

I'm just gonna be like,

laser focus and...
Oh! Shoot.

You've made another mistake,
haven't you?

Don't worry.

This one I can fix.

- Hi, guys!
- Hey, Jess!

- What's this?
- Cool, right?

Yeah. When you said you got
a surprise for the wedding party,

not exactly what I pictured.

Seriously, what's going on?

OK, the bus rental company
messed up the reservation.

But it's cool, I borrowed
this bus from work. All aboard!

OK.

Hey, can you get this
to the wedding venue by Tuesday?

They need it by Tuesday
or we're gonna lose the place.

- Yeah, I'll take care of it.
- Thank you.

So, Jess, where are we going?

Don't worry,
you're gonna love it.

Alright.

Okeydoke!

OK, here we go!

Are you sure about this?

Absolutely.
It's gonna be a blast.

Yeah, totally!

Alright, you've all been told the rules,

and everyone knows
how to play this game.

It's the bride's party...
versus the groom's!

Happy hunting, everyone.

Guys!

- You seem to be enjoying yourself.
- Well, yeah.

I always wanted to do this.
How did you know?

I am your best woman,
it's my job to know these things.

You know what this reminds me of?

You remember your 10th birthday
with the water-balloon fight?

Hey, that wasn't a fight. That
was a full-out water-balloon war.

Who knew Ted's old nerd friends
from high school...

...would be such good shots
at paintball?

They're probably working out some
residual anger they hold again us

for how we treated them back then.

- Especially you, Lauren.
- Hey!

Well, come on, guys,
we were pretty mean back then.

- I'm just glad we grew up.
- Some more than others.

- Hey, I am nice... sometimes.
- Yeah, you're just a regular saint.

I'm gonna go take a look
and see if the coast is clear.

Coast is not clear!
Definitely not clear!

Those nerds really hate you.

Speaking of nerds
from high school,

have you been keeping an eye
on that best woman of yours?

Yeah. We talked the other day.
Her and Ted are just friends.

She doesn't have
feelings for him.

You're so sure about that?

- They look pretty chummy over there.
- What?

It was fun.

I loved that party!
It was like my favourite one.

You ate my whole cake.
I had no more cake!

No! That's what we did.
I mean, it's what I did.

I was hungry, it was good cake.

No, Brian, that is not what
we decided to do with the house.

What does she have
to do with this?

Brian, why are you
being like this?

Brian? Brian!

Hey, Kim.
Is everything OK?

No. My ex just continues to make
my life as difficult as he can.

Sorry. Is there
anything I can do to help?

No, Jessica, there's nothing
you can do. You know what?

Actually, there is something
you can do.

Maybe try not being in love
with my fiance.

Kim, I told you,
Ted and I are just friends...

I know that's what you said,
but you lied, OK?

It is so obvious to me
that you have feelings for him.

- No, I don't have feelings.
- I see the way you look at him.

- Just now...
- Hey, hey, whoa, whoa.

What is going on here?

Would you like to tell him,
Jessica, or should I?

Tell him what?

Your best woman over here
has feelings for you.

- What is she talking about?
- It's not true.

It is true.

I see the way she looks at you.

Jess?

OK, look, Ted.

You and I have been best friends
for like forever.

OK? And this is just an emotional
time for everyone, alright?

My best friend
is getting married, OK?

To an amazing woman!

Yeah, you were mean
in high school, OK, but Ted is right.

You've become an incredible person.

Where does that leave me?
I know I'm going to see less of you.

- Jess...
- Look, it's fine, OK?

I've been thinking about it, and, look,
I am happy for you, OK? I really am.

But everything is changing, and I just...
I just thought we never would.

Kim, I do not
have feelings for Ted, OK?

We are just best friends,

and I really, really don't want
to lose my best friend.

Jess, I'm getting married,
I'm not going anywhere.

And, Kim, I've known
Jess our whole life,

and we never had feelings like that ever.
And if she did, I would know.

Yeah. I mean, I've seen your fiance.
He's, like, kind of homely.

Not into it.

I'm sorry, you guys. It's just
crazy wedding emotions, I guess.

It's all good. You know,
weddings can be, turbulent.

You go back inside, take your anger out
with little balls of paint.

This peanut butter
tastes strange.

It's almond butter.

Almonds?!
Why almonds?

- Why not peanuts?
- Less fat.

Actually, it's not bad.

So, what grand realization
did you come to?

What makes you think I came up
with some sort of grand realization?

Well, let's see.

You're here on your day off,
it's early even for you,

and you're wearing
sweat pants and a hoodie.

It's complicated.

How so?

Either you realized you liked Ted
or you realized you don't like him.

- It's one or the other.
- No. It's worse than that.

I realize that there's something we
haven't been considering this entire time.

What's that?

Doesn't matter if I like Ted
or if I don't like Ted,

'cause yesterday I realized
that I do like Ted.

I mean, like, like him.

- Great!
- No.

Yesterday, I also realized
that Ted doesn't like, like me.

Yeah.

You're right.

Never thought of that.

Which is strange 'cause
I usually think of everything.

I must be getting old.

I think I like
peanut butter better.

Mouth is dry.

So, we've progressed from
cupcakes to popcorn for dinner.

Well, at least
those were vegetables, once.

Ted's coming over.
We're watching scary movies.

Jess and Ted's
scary movie night, classic!

Do you think you're gonna be able
to keep the tradition alive...

...after he's married?

I'm not sure.

I mean, would you want
your husband hanging around

with some other woman
watching movies?

Probably not.

You know, it's strange.

I always thought
Ted liked, liked you.

Really?

Yeah. Just a vibe
I've always had.

Oh, well!

- What?
- What?

What? No, do I have stuff
on my face?

No, it's nothing.

- Hey, you... you like Kim, right?
- Yeah. She's awesome.

She let you come to movie night
with me, right, so...

"Let"? It's not like I need
permission to hang out with you.

Besides, she's happier with me
hanging out here with you

than if I was having
a bachelor party, right?

- Yeah, that's smart.
- So we went out the other day...

...and Kim got me coffee.

OK!

Yeah, but she got me coffee
with a lot of cream and sugar...

- No, but you take it black.
- I know, I know.

Well, you used to take it
with a bunch of cream and sugar,

and then you switched from two creams and
two sugars to two milks and two sweeteners

because in college
you thought that was healthier.

And now you straight up copied me,
and you get black coffee now.

See? You know.

Yeah, I don't think it matters
if she knows your coffee order, right?

What I mean,

shouldn't two people who are
getting married know each other

the way you and I
know each other?

I don't...
I don't think

it matters how long
you've known each other, right?

I think what matters
is the amount of time

you're gonna spend
getting to know each other.

And I have a huge advantage.

I mean, I've had a lot of time
to get to know Ted Cooper.

And Kim is just getting started.

You're right.

You're right as usual,
but we gotta wrap this up.

I gotta go do a work thing.

No, no, no. We're gonna go
hang out with the guys.

No, gotta do a work thing.

It just came up, got a big project
for a big client I gotta finish.

We were gonna be up all night!

That's very true.
Probably 'til the morning.

Well, why did you come
to movie night?

Well, it's scary movie night,
I love scary movie night.

Yeah, but we could be out with
the gang right now, you know?

Yeah. Alright.

I'd take hanging out
with you over anyone.

Yeah. Me too.

Hey, guys!

Hey!

Scary movie night.

- OK.
- Yeah, so I gotta run...

Don't let me interrupt.

No, you're not interrupting anything.

He has to go do a work thing.
He has a presentation in the morning.

Well then, I guess
you need to get going.

Yeah. So...

Wanna stay, can't.

Tell the brains I said hi,
and I will make it up to them.

Sure!

- OK, what the heck was that?
- What? Why, why?

I told you "He like, likes you".

Good luck dealing with that.

I'm gonna be in my room.

And there was that kid
that dressed as Marilyn Monroe

senior year of the Halloween dance.

And he tripped on the bleachers and
bounced like three feet up in the air...

...and landed with
the dress on his face.

- What was the kid's name again?
- I can't remember.

- Jess would know.
- Jess?

Jess?

- What?
- What was the name of the guy,

senior year dressed as Marilyn
Monroe for the Halloween dance?

- Ben something.
- That's right.

- Ben Scott!
- Ben Scott! I love that guy!

Jess...

...are you OK?

- Me?
- Yeah. You seem a little distracted.

It's just a bunch of wedding
planning stuff on my mind.

Well, we heard that you and Kim
had a fight in the parking lot.

It wasn't a fight.
It was nothing, really.

Was Kimberly Kentwood,
the Queen of Mean,

- being her old self again?
- No!

Kim is... legitimately nice now.

Sure she is.

- It's probably all an act.
- No, guys, she's changed.

A tiger never changes
its stripes.

Yeah. If she's so nice,
then why were you two arguing?

Kim thinks...

She thinks I have
feelings for Ted.

Yeah, and...?

Well, she's gonna marry the guy,

and she doesn't want the best
woman crushing on her fiance.

You know, we all thought
that you two would get married.

What?

Oh yeah. I think the
whole school felt that way.

You guys were like always together.

Before class, lunch,
after class, like always.

- And you guys had that special connection.
- We're just friends.

- Now he's marrying that jerk!
- She is nice now!

- I'm telling you.
- A tiger never changes its stripes.

I can't believe
your wedding is so close.

You can't believe it?
I'm the one who's walking down the aisle.

I remember we used to hang around
and imagined who we'd get married to.

I remember.

Famous actors, rich athletes,
a prince from a foreign land.

Big Ted...

Hey!

OK, fine. Maybe Ted wasn't
the coolest kid in school.

- You could say that again.
- But people grow.

They evolve, they change.

Maybe you two could,
I don't know, be happy

that Ted grew up
to be my real-life prince.

- Kimberly Kentwood.
- Melinda!

So, how did it turn out?

Exquisite. Probably
some of my best work.

- Yeah?
- You excited to try it on?

- So excited!
- Come on.

She's coming. Come here.

- So?
- Kimberly!

Oh my!

- What do you think?
- Kim, you look beautiful.

- Stunning!
- Really? Thanks, guys.

Megan, are you gonna cry?

It's nothing.
I'm just so happy for you.

We both are.

Ted is such a great guy,
everyone likes him.

Yeah. It's no wonder that he's
getting married and we aren't.

Sweetie, there's someone
out there for everyone.

So, Lauren and I
were talking and...

And...?

- And we're super happy for you, Kim.
- Super happy.

OK, what's up?

I know you two. I know
when something's on your mind.

We've just always wanted
what's best for you.

We feel protective of you.
All through high school,

you made sure that we were
treated like royalty.

Yeah. You guys, I love you.
You're like my family.

And as your family,
we just want to make sure

that you are absolutely
ready for this next step.

We've been over this.

I'm ready.
I'm absolutely ready.

We're just asking
because it's so sudden,

and you two are so different.

So different.

Lauren and I always thought...

...you and Mark were perfect
for each other.

Are you sure you're over him,
and this isn't just a rebound?

Guys, Ted is...

everything a girl
could ever want.

But is he everything you want?

Mark understood Kimberly Kentwood
like most other people don't.

You guys used to talk for hours.

Yeah. And what do
you and Ted talk about?

I don't know... stuff.

- The wedding.
- But what about after the wedding?

Guys, Ted is amazing.

Okay? He's... unselfish,
and funny and warm.

He is, but why don't you
give Mark a call

just to make sure
that nothing's still there.

And if you talk to him

and you still feel
that Ted is the one,

then we will be
at your wedding all smiles.

Genuine smiles.

No.
No, absolutely not.

What do you have to lose?

Hello? Ted?

Ted? Are you there?

I'm just dropping off your tux.

Kim? Are you here?

Ted?

I know Ted's
an amazing guy, but I just...

I don't know sometimes,
you know?

I don't know,
my friends keep telling me

that it's just cold feet,
but what if it's not?

What if I'm not supposed
to marry Ted?

I know. I just...

I just needed someone to talk to,
and you know me better than anyone.

I know.

And I love you too.

Hey, can I call you back?

Jessica?!

What are you doing here?

"A tiger never changes
its stripes".

What?

OK, I don't know
what you think you heard,

but it's not
what it sounded like.

I heard everything!

You're gonna break up with Ted, and
you're gonna run back to your ex!

OK.
Jess, that is not it at all.

Hon, I'm home!

Hey, I see Jess' car,
is she here?

- I have to tell Ted.
- What? No!

Jessica! Jess, wait!

- Ted!
- Jess, hey. Hi.

- What are you doing here?
- I came to drop off your tux.

OK. Thanks.

No, Ted, when I got here,
I heard a noise,

so I went upstairs
to your bedroom.

OK, Jess, what's going on?

She's gonna call off
the wedding.

Wait, she's gonna...?
Kim?

It's not true, Ted.

She doesn't know
what she's talking about.

You're a liar. I heard you
on your phone with your ex.

You were questioning
the relationship.

I heard you tell your ex
you love him.

OK, Kim, what's going on?
Do you not want to get married?

Of course I want to get married.

I'm just...

I've been having
some pre-wedding jitters.

You know, cold feet.

But that's it, right?
Just... just cold feet?

Yes.

I got cold feet too.
Getting married is scary.

- You have to talk to me.
- Yeah.

- Not your ex, who you love.
- But you hate your ex.

Of course I hate my ex!

Like I tried telling Jessica
after I caught her eavesdropping,

I wasn't
on the phone with my ex.

I was on the phone with my dad.

You were talking to your dad?

Yes, Ted.
You have Jessica, OK?

I've always called my dad
when I need someone to talk to.

OK, this is sounding
very convenient.

Here. Look at my phone.

See who the last person
I called was.

- Yeah, your dad's number.
- Thank you.

Jess, what...

I'm so sorry.

Ted, I have told you that
she has feelings for you, OK?

She's trying
to break up this wedding.

I should go.
I'm gonna go.

Jess... Jessica...
is that what I think it is?

That's the...
Jess, that's the deposit!

I told you they needed it by Tuesday
or we're gonna lose the location!

Wait a second.

Are you telling me that we don't have
a wedding venue right now?

I can fix it. Okay?

We're getting married this weekend,
and we don't have a wedding venue.

Yeah, Jess, I think
you need to go.

And...

...maybe you shouldn't be
at the wedding either.

Wherever it may be
at this point.

Honey, that might be
a bit much, huh?

Really, you think so?

I wouldn't want
to ruin your special day.

- I know.
- I mean...

I know, I just screwed
things up so badly.

I'm usually
a pretty positive guy, but...

I know, I know. I totally messed up,
and he's my best friend.

What do I do?

I think you're gonna have
to figure this one out on your own.

Yeah.

I do know this.

A life is not defined
by a single mistake or action.

It's a culmination of all
thoughts and all actions.

So too is a relationship.

You're right. You're...

I know what I'm gonna do.

Thank you! Thank you,
you wise, wise old man!

You're my ride.

I should have listened to you.

You guys were right about Jessica,
I never should have trusted her.

Well, what happened?

Ted gave her the deposit
for our wedding venue,

and she never passed it along.

She completely sabotaged
our entire wedding!

I'm telling you,
she never wanted it to happen.

- We told you, Kim.
- I guess I just...

...thought that we'd all moved on.

Hi, Cam! It's Jess Parks.

You remember me, cool.
I'm good, thanks.

Remember your wedding
when you said

if I never need a favour
or anything to just,

you know, give you a call?

Well...
ring-ring.

Hi. Hi, Annie.
It's Jessica Parks.

Yeah, remember
that favour you owe me?

Yeah. Well...

Hey, Patrick! It's Jessica.

Yeah. I need a favour.

OK, so remember, shoulders back,
spine straight, go forward.

Good, good. Front foot
a little bit more.

Perfect. Perfect.

Just one second.

- Grams?
- Theodore, it's Grams.

I hope I'm not bothering you.

No, no. Of course not.
What's going on? Is everything OK?

Well...
this might sound silly,

but I know you're getting
married tomorrow.

Can you meet me in an hour?
I have something for you.

Yeah. Yeah, yeah, I can do that.
Just tell me where.

Hello?

Kimberly darling,
it's Ted's grandmother.

Oh, Grams!
So nice to hear from you.

Is everything OK?

Oh, yes, darling. I'm fine.

There something
I'd like you to do for me.

Kim? Hey,
what are you doing here?

What? Grams called me.

She told me that you wanted
to meet me here.

Strange. Grams called me and
said she wanted to meet me here.

- What? What's going on?
- I don't know.

Sorry for the white lies,

but we needed to make sure
you'd both come.

Grams, why are we here?

Are you Ted Cooper
of the Cooper-Kentwood wedding?

Yeah. Who are you?

I'm with St. Joseph's Castle.

Somebody called my boss.

Well, they called
my boss' boss' boss actually

and pulled a few strings.

I'm sorry.
"A few strings"?

We don't usually
do this anymore,

but here is a special permit
to hold a wedding here tomorrow.

Here?

- Yeah.
- We can have our wedding here?

- We can have our wedding here?
- Just sign here.

- What?
- Deposit's been paid.

- Thank you.
- The place is all yours 10 a.m. to midnight.

I hope that's enough time.

Yes! Yes, of course
it's enough time!

Like I said to the lady on the phone,

you're responsible for your own setup,
so tables, chairs, whatnot.

- OK, yeah.
- Thank you.

Ted, I told Jess it was my dream
to have our wedding here.

I can't believe
she pulled this off.

Apparently, over
the last couple of years

helping so many people
to plan their weddings,

she's earned a few favours
that she called in.

You guys call all your guests
to give them the new location.

Jess called in a few
more favours,

we're gonna have this place
set up and looking beautiful

first thing in the morning.

Ted! I'm so happy!

- I'm gonna go look around.
- OK.

She's quite a girl.

Yeah. Yeah, she is.

I was talking about Jess.

Morning, everyone!

Thank you all for coming.
I know Jess really appreciates it.

Listen, we only have a few hours to get
this place ready for a wedding, so...

...let's get at it.

There we go!

- Are you trying to be undercover?
- I want everything to be perfect,

but I don't want
Ted or Kim to know I'm here.

I'm sure they forgive you.

Here's your walkie.

Let's do this.

That's good, girls.
That's good.

Yeah, that's perfect.
Thanks, guys, thanks.

Patrick?

Yeah?

Yeah. Make sure you put one of those
centrepieces on every single table.

Those are Kim's favourite flowers.

You got it.

OK. Move...
move the gift table.

Patrick!

Yeah?

Doris, don't pluck
the flowers. Don't pluck.

Put the flowers on the table.
They're going there.

Did you guys hear something?

- No.
- No.

I guess it was nothing.

The cake!

It's perfect.

Cake's coming.

The cake looks beautiful.

It was close.

How's everything going?

Everything's great, it's
gonna be beautiful, but listen,

- we have a major issue.
- Quick! Quick!

- What's with the shoving?
- Sorry, sorry, I freaked out!

You could have pushed my hip
right out of place!

Shoot, Kim's coming over here.

Listen, there's something
I need to tell you.

Uncle Jack!
So nice of you to call.

I know. I'm so sorry you
and Aunt Pearl couldn't make it.

- That was fun.
- Yeah, real riot.

- Listen, we have a problem.
- No! Doris hitting on the caterer again?

No. Well, maybe.

That is so sweet of you
to say, Uncle Jack.

Listen, I promise Ted and I...

...will make our way overseas
as soon as we can, OK?

OK. Love you too.

That was close.

Listen, you have to listen to me.
We have a problem.

OK, what?

- No one has seen Ted.
- No one's seen Ted?

No one's seen Ted?!
This is heavy.

Jessica!

Mrs. Cooper!

Jessica, thank goodness
you're here.

- You can't find Ted?
- We've looked everywhere.

He's not at his house,
his gym, anywhere.

And you tried calling
his cell obviously.

Straight to voicemail.

Jessica, I know you two had a fight,
but you know him better than anyone...

...do you have any idea
where he might be?

I think I might know a place.

OK, I'm gonna go there now, and
you try to stall the wedding ceremony,

and I'll bring him here
as soon as possible.

- Please, Jessica, hurry.
- I'm on it.

I think I might know where Ted is.
Do you have the keys to the van?

No, but I have something
I think might help.

Ted, fancy seeing you here.

- You're still mad at me?
- No.

Points for Jess.

No. No points for Jess.

Yeah, you got Kim
her dream wedding venue,

but you messed up,
like, everything else.

- I didn't mean to.
- I know.

You accused her
of cheating on me and wanting

to get back with her ex
the week of our wedding.

Yeah. Definitely no points
for that one.

I was just living in the past.

Our past. I mean, I...

I was convinced that Kim
was just gonna be

that same mean queen
from high school, you know.

It's not who she is anymore.

You have to let people
change sometimes...

and become the better versions
of themselves, and I...

...I didn't let Kim do that.

I just kept jumping to conclusions.

Yeah.
You weren't the only one.

What do you mean?

This wedding,
we just rushed into it.

Wha... Sometimes,
people fall in love quickly.

Yeah...

Look, I love the idea
of marrying Kim, you know?

I mean, I was stuck in the past too.
I still thought of myself as Big Ted.

I thought that the prom queen
wanted to date me, marry me. Just...

Look, you haven't been
Big Ted in years.

And even when you were,
you were like...

the best guy in high school.

I mean, why do you think
I stuck around for so long?

And whether you're Big Ted or, you know,
Hunky Successful Ted...

...you are still Ted.

You are an amazing,
funny, smart guy,

who's like, you know, a little
scared of horror movies.

You've always been
my best friend,

and the thought that you weren't
gonna be at my wedding just killed me.

Me too.

I'm here now.

And there's still time
to talk to Kim

and get everything figured out
before you guys get married.

That's the thing.

I'm not sure that Kim is the one
that I'm meant to marry.

I don't know, Jess.

What do you think,
should I marry Kim?

This is just... way too big
for me to make for you.

You know what?

My house, Kim said
that you had feelings for me.

Is that true?

Do you love me?

Ted...

I do love you.

But as friends, as best friends.

Go marry the prom queen.

And...

as your best woman,
it is my duty to inform you

that you have an amazing
woman waiting for you,

and, you know, what I hear is,
a beautifully decorated wedding venue

that has singlehandedly used up
my life accumulation of favours.

It's my job to get you there,
you know, no matter what.

- Let's go!
- OK.

Yeah, I'm getting there.
I'm getting it on.

- Alright, you're ready?
- Yeah.

OK.

OK, wait! Close your eyes,

it's bad luck to see the bride
before the ceremony.

What?

Kim!

Ted.

Don't worry, they're closed.

No, it's OK, Ted.
I think you can open your eyes.

I knew you'd be with her.

No, Kim, it's not like that,
I swear...

No. I didn't mean it like that.

I just meant that if
anybody could find Ted

when nobody else could,
it would be you, Jess.

I am so sorry that I'm late.

No, Ted, it's actually
a good thing.

While I was here waiting for you,
it gave me some time to think,

and everybody here
needs to be honest

with each other and themselves.

What do you mean?

Ted, we rushed into this.

And yes,
I really do love you, but...

I'm just not so sure
that I am "in love" with you.

And I'm not totally sure that
you're in love with me either.

So... so we date
a little bit longer.

We could push the wedding...

Ted, I've watched you two over
these past couple of weeks

while we were putting the wedding
together, and the truth is...

I want what you guys have.

I'm not trying to hurt you, Ted.

I'm just trying to be honest
with you. And I guess...

maybe for the first time,
honest with myself.

I was really mean
in high school.

Marrying Big Ted,

that would prove that I am not
that mean girl anymore.

But I don't know, maybe
that's not the best foundation

on which to build a marriage.

Do you understand?

Prom queen and Big Ted,
who would have thunk it, huh?

Guess if I'm being honest,
I know you're right.

Yeah.

And I think it's time for the two of you
to be honest with each other, OK?

I've seen you two together,

and there's way more here
than just friends.

I'm sorry, Jess,
for being mean to you.

Not just at paintball
or in Ted's house,

but for all the times
I've ever been mean.

Thank you.

Regret is a really
horrible thing,

so can you just figure this
thing out between you two already?

Ted!

Where have you been?
And Kim, is she leaving?

Yeah. Yeah, Mom,
there's no wedding today.

Baby, are you OK?
What happened?

Yeah, actually...

Kim just wasn't...

isn't the right person for me.

Well, it's better you figure that out now
and not years down the road.

Thank you for finding
our Teddy Âear again.

- "Teddy Âear"?
- Don't.

- Is that like new or...?
- Don't. No.

- Why didn't I know about this?
- No. No, no, no.

Why didn't you tell me
about this?

No. This is not a thing!

Oh, my gosh,
this cake is so good!

You know, this might be

the most beautiful wedding
you've ever planned,

but nobody actually got married.

For you, I would plan an
infinite amount of non-weddings.

I'm still getting paid, right?

Well, they can't all end in disaster.

What?
What are you staring at?

You.

You know what I'm thinking?

I think I do.

Well, anyone knows me
well enough, it would be you.

And what are you thinking?

How overwhelming my desire is

to shove this cake in your face.

That's exactly
what I was thinking.

Like I said before,
"I love weddings".

I love everything about them.
There's something magical about

family and friends
coming together to watch

two people promise
to love one another forever.

I love weddings so much
that I plan them

right down to the last detail.

But I'd never have planned this.

Or did I?
