Okay, Mrs. Morgan
is prepped in O.R. 2,
the derma-laser people
want your endorsement...
I'm on board.
Their clinical trials
are perfect.
Good.
You have an interview
at 5:00 with ama magazine,
15 minutes tops.
What would I do without you?
You'd be lost.
Yes. I would.
Your mother?
You want to take it?
No.
You're on your own.
Hello, mother.
Now, remember,
no horseback riding,
and no aggressive shopping
for at least a month.
Can you do that?
Good morning.
Ashley,
equestrian, 21st birthday.
And how are we doing
today, Ashley?
Better now that you're here,
Dr. Hamilton.
Well, let's take a look.
So... yeah,
a three-day event or dressage?
Dressage.
I can't believe you remember.
Everything looks just fine.
Thank you,
Dr. Hamilton.
My pleasure.
Okay,
let's get this on you...
How does that feel?
- Good.
- Good?
Remember what I said.
And you're all set.
Watch your step.
And the attendant
will walk you out.
And happy 21st.
Yay!
You know what I got
for my 21st birthday?
I'm guessing
it wasn't a nose job.
Nope,
just a job.
However, I did get
to wear an apron
and fill ketchup bottles.
Well, after the weekend,
you will be
Mrs. Dr. Hamilton,
and you won't have to work
ever again.
Mrs. Dr. Hamilton?
That is catchy.
I know, right?
And I'm not quitting.
Promise?
Yes.
Good.
When the Smith twins come in
to get their ears pinned back,
I will be right here,
for all four ears.
You don't think
we're rushing things,
do you?
We've been together four years.
No, we've worked
together four years.
That's different.
Although, they do say
marriage is work.
Are you getting cold feet?
No.
Maybe just one cold foot.
Wedding jitters.
Happens to everyone.
Not you.
Well, if I had jitters,
I wouldn't be much of a surgeon,
now, would I?
You're right, you're right.
I just, I can't believe
I let my mother
plan our wedding.
You're gonna be fine.
Fine?
That's what you tell
your patients.
And they are fine.
Not Mrs. Zimmer.
Mrs. Zimmer was not fine,
she had complications.
And what if...
We have complications?
We won't.
We have never even had a fight.
We make a great team.
And just...
There you go, that's better.
Your mother?
You want to take it?
Um...
Dr. Hamilton
to O.R. 2.
Sorry, got a nose to break.
See you Saturday.
Yup, I will be the girl
wearing the long white dress.
Hi, mom.
Surprise!
Wow...
Rice-a-roni?
Your dad ate the white rice
last night.
Well, I thought you were
supposed to throw the rice
after the wedding.
We are just so thrilled.
We thought this moment
would never come.
Your friends are all married,
your sister's married...
I know,
I am the last
single person on earth.
What your mother means is,
if you're happy, we're happy.
Of course she's happy.
She's getting married.
It's a miracle.
Although I don't understand
why he can't be here
till Saturday.
Mother, I already told you,
he has
a nasal reconstruction seminar.
He can't change his plans?
He's the key-nose speaker.
Well, I hope
you two are still joking
if he doesn't show up.
Mother...
Where's your ring?
Phillip took it to get sized.
It was too tight, that's all.
What are you doing?
We're going to be late.
Turn that TV off.
You don't know
how long I've waited
to see someone in this dress.
I'm pretty sure we do.
We do, mom.
Well, you could have worn it
if you hadn't eloped.
And that is why we eloped.
Is that all
you're going to pack?
Yeah.
What else do I need?
I guess, if you want to wear
the same thing to the brunch,
to the rehearsal dinner,
to the no-host cocktail party,
to the sunset Chinese
lantern ceremony...
Okay, mom...
I know that you want this
to be the wedding
that you and dad never had,
but you promised
to keep this low-key.
You did ask mom
to do something low-key.
It is low-key.
It's just us and them.
Honestly, I do not know
what you're afraid of.
Because she's not
a wedding person, mom.
I mean, you know that.
That's ridiculous.
What woman doesn't
like a wedding?
You set a date, you get married.
Well, actually, mom,
you set the date.
Was I supposed to wait for you
to get your aarp card?
Besides,
the nuptial package
is only good until may.
Nuptial package?
Mother.
Hi.
What are you doing here?
I just thought we should talk,
without all those people around.
"Those people," wow,
you mean Georgie's family?
You'll get used to them
once you get to know them.
What a delightful prospect.
You might be surprised.
I am surprised.
Up until now, you've been
the perfect son.
Mother...
I just don't understand,
of all the suitable girls,
you marrying someone like her.
I'm not marrying
someone like her.
I'm marrying her.
Well, she's the exact opposite
of anyone you've ever dated.
Because she's not
a shallow socialite?
Or the daughter of
one of your friends?
I'm not calling
off this wedding.
Well then, postpone.
Everyone knows
a proper wedding takes
a year and a half to plan.
Georgie's mom
worked hard on this.
I am the mother of the groom.
I at least should have
been consulted.
No, no, no,
as I recall, you were too busy.
Well, I'll tell you one thing,
I wouldn't have
forced my guests to travel.
It's less than an hour away.
You've driven farther
for a pair of shoes.
Now, I know
this is difficult for you.
I know that you feel alone
since father died.
You're not losing a son.
You're gaining a daughter.
As they say.
Okay.
Look, I will
pick you up on Saturday.
I'll be counting the moments.
Love you!
Love you.
Hey, Beth, long time.
I know where he is.
...well, I'll
be there on Tuesday.
No. I plan on it.
Great, perfect.
Okay.
Hey, man.
Sorry I'm late.
That's okay.
Lost your shoes?
Missed the ferry.
So, is that how they dress
in wherever it is
you're from now?
You interested in my wardrobe
or my sketches?
These are good.
You haven't lost your touch.
Thanks.
All right, I'll set up
a client dinner.
Friday night, St. Michele's?
Yeah, I can't that night.
I've got plans.
Yeah, that's not
going to cut it, Luke.
You want back in the firm,
you're gonna have
to do the dance.
I mean, you were
the best in the business,
but that was two years ago.
Three if we're counting.
Well, clients want puppies,
not old dogs.
Old dogs?
You want the job?
I thought I did.
Well, put on a suit,
and get a place in the city.
And would you get a cell phone
with reception, please?
You mean become
the person I used to be.
Well, was that so bad?
Um...
I appreciate your time.
You realize I'll just
find someone else.
Yeah.
Yeah, I know that.
I'm not calling you again.
Well, if the phone don't ring,
I'll know it's you.
I know, I can't
believe it either.
We all thought she was
going to be an old maid.
"Old maid..."
"Puppies"?
The inter-island ferry
will be ready for boarding
in 10 minutes.
Arriving vehicles
must clear the ramp
prior to loading.
Where is it?
Thank...
Sorry.
No, I'm sorry.
I was here first.
I'm pretty sure we were here
at the same time.
Well, I need it more.
I doubt that.
I have a headache.
I have a bigger one.
I have a neck ache.
I stepped on a nail,
and my former intern
called me an old dog.
My mom called me an old maid.
Ouch.
How old are you?
Are you saying I'm old?
No.
But you're thinking it.
No,
but my headache's getting worse.
Fine.
Take it.
I'll just... eat ice cream
until I pass out.
Okay, now I feel bad.
We can... Split it.
Really?
Yeah.
Thank you.
All right...
There you go.
Thank you.
Here you go.
No.
Please take it.
Please, no, you take it.
Save it for...
Ice cream
until the pills kick in.
Thank you.
You know,
the, ferry has frozen yogurt.
It doesn't necessarily have
the healing powers of ice cream,
but it's good.
Maybe we could have a scoop.
I can't.
Is it...
Is it the flip flops?
Because I do own shoes.
I believe you,
and I just have to go.
Okay.
Where is she?
The ferry's here.
Here she is.
Mom thought you ran away.
No, I just,
I just had a headache.
You're supposed
to get a headache
after you get married.
Come on, the ferry's pulling in.
I know. Okay.
Jeez...
Old maid?
Thank you.
Isn't it beautiful?
Welcome, bienvenue.
How can I help you?
Yeah, we'll take five tickets
to the 4:00 show,
and a large popcorn, please.
Georgie!
We're here for
the dwyer-Hamilton wedding.
The deluxe #3 package
with the chocolate fountain.
Quinoa.
It's the new rice.
Standard on all packages.
This must be the bride.
No, she's already married.
This is the bride.
Hi. Yeah.
I apologize.
Well, it happens.
All the time.
And the groom?
He's at a conference.
Dr. Phillip Hamilton.
You may have heard of him?
He invented the Hamilton nose.
His father invented
the Hamilton chin.
Mom.
Well...
Do you have any other colors?
Yellow washes her out.
Yes, I see what you mean.
Pink...
Pink really isn't
her color either.
White goes with everything.
- White, Georgie?
- Fine.
May I?
Well, follow me.
Everything's going to be fine...
And as you can see,
we've remodeled
in the last two years,
which puts us on par
with the other five-star
hotels in the area.
There's our formal restaurant.
Over to this side is our lounge.
Here's our complimentary
coconut water...
And our view.
Now, our award-winning amenities
include a spa
a 24-hour
fitness center, a pool,
and jacuzzi heated
to 104 degrees.
Honey, in two days,
that will be you.
This way.
Greetings, newlyweds
and nearlyweds.
And... here we are.
Your room's down this way.
- Sweet.
- Thank you.
M.o.b.,
F.O.B.?
Excuse me?
Mother of the bride,
father of the bride.
Groom's parents?
Well, m.O.G.
Is on her way,
and f.O.G. Deceased.
I see.
Follow me.
Okay.
And for the bride,
the "I do" suite.
I hope you like it.
I do.
She does.
Nuptial basket.
Upstairs, we have
"his" and "hers" robes
and bedside Rose petals.
Wow.
If there's anything you need,
my direct line.
Thank you.
Excuse me.
Now, I'm going to go
check on your father.
Are you going to be
all right alone in here?
Mother, I'm not alone.
See?
I have them.
Bye.
Bye!
Nuptial package...
Phillip and...
George.
Phillip...
Hello there.
Hey, how's the conference?
You were right,
I used your opening line,
and my talk on
the nasobuccal membrane
was standing room only.
How's the hotel?
Well, nuptially speaking,
I think your mother's
going to hate it.
Mother hates everything.
Really?
Wow, I thought it was just me.
Georgie, sweetie,
the sinitis forum's
about to start.
Can you text me the schedule?
I can't reach Sheila.
I already did.
What would I do without you?
You'd be lost?
Yes, I would.
I'll see you tomorrow,
Mrs. Hamilton.
Yes.
Bye.
Bye.
Ooh, sorry.
I mean...
Whoo!
Congratulations.
Well, I'll leave you
to your joyous occasion.
Excuse me, sir.
May I see your room key?
Excuse me?
Are you staying here, sir?
Nope.
The pu-pus are only
for the guests.
Since when?
We're under new ownership, sir.
And the new owner
has a pu-pu policy?
Sir...
Okay.
Hey.
What are you doing here?
Apparently
I'm getting de-pu-pu'd.
You just witness
what happened to me?
Yeah.
All of it.
The leaning tower of pu-pus?
More like... stonehenge?
Um... you,
you here for a wedding?
Yeah. You?
No. No, no, no,
I'm here for the appetizers.
Yeah. Bridesmaid?
No. No, no...
Sure dodged a bullet there?
Yeah.
Yeah.
I'm the bride.
You're kidding.
No.
You're not kidding.
And I believe you're supposed
to say "congratulations."
Right. I...
I'm sorry,
it's just,
I see a lot of brides, and...
You don't have that thing,
you know, the, um...
The bridal glow?
Well, what do I have?
Um... the look of someone
that's going to go
see the dentist?
Besides, stonehenge
was a burial site.
Yeah, but I'm sure they had
weddings there.
No. No, just sacrifices.
Well.
So, when's the big day?
Um, the day after tomorrow.
Yeah.
The deluxe package with
the chocolate fountain?
Have you been
stalking my mother?
Groupon.
They did a special
a few months back,
and the place has been packed.
Okay, so you're
a wedding planner?
No, no, I just live close by.
About 100 yards.
Yeah, that's,
that's really close.
And you're not wearing a ring.
It's getting sized.
Too loose or too tight?
Why?
Nothing.
Well, it's just,
you know what they say.
If the ring is too tight,
you shouldn't get married.
- Really?
- Yeah.
I never heard that.
Dr. Hamilton,
forgive me, sir.
I didn't realize.
I didn't realize...
Apology accepted.
No, he's...
No, forgive me.
Here's to finding
that one person to annoy
for the rest of your life.
Cheers.
Georgie?
Dad.
- Hi.
- Hi.
Hey.
This is...
Luke griggs.
Judd dwyer.
You with the hotel?
He's...
Hotel-adjacent.
Do you do any
fishing around here?
Yeah, all the time.
I'll tell you a great place
if you keep it quiet.
Mum's the word.
Yeah.
North of the point,
left side of the reef.
Halibut city.
I love Halibut.
It's an under-rated fish, right?
Absolutely.
Yeah.
You want a drink?
Why not?
Here, take mine.
Cheers, guys.
Cheers.
Must be nice,
living here.
It is.
Well, it... it was,
when I could hear the seagulls.
What do you hear now?
"The wedding march,"
day and night.
What line of work
are you in, Luke?
I'm an architect.
I was...
I was an architect.
How about yourself?
Appliances.
Washers and dwyer's.
Dad loves that joke.
Georgie's a nurse.
Dad, I'm sure he's not
interested in what I do.
No, I'm interested.
It's strange, you know,
watching your
daughter get married.
You hope the man she picks is...
Well, feels like a son.
Dad...
But I guess all that matters
is that he's right for her.
Yeah.
Well, I've intruded enough.
Really good to meet you.
You too, Luke.
Georgie...
Congratulations.
Thank you.
I like that guy.
Dad, you do remember
I'm getting married
the day after tomorrow,
to a different guy.
- I remember.
- Okay.
Where are they?
The brunch package brunch
ends in half an hour.
You don't think
he changed his mind, do you?
Phillip...
Hi.
Hey. Finally.
Phillip,
I'm so glad you could make it.
It's great to be here,
Mrs. Dwyer.
No more formalities.
You call me "mom."
He doesn't even call
his own mother "mom."
Phillip?
Hi...
Nice to meet you.
Nice to meet you.
Hi. I'm judd.
How was your trip?
Long, bumpy,
and dreadfully uneventful.
Well, you look amazing.
Well, thank you, georgeann.
She prefers "Georgie."
Well, you know.
Dad always wanted a boy,
so here I am.
You're the apple
of my eye, honey.
It's 20 minutes and counting.
Right.
Who's hungry?
Brunch?
Yes, please.
- Great.
- Okay.
Right.
Dad...
It's my first.
Waiter,
I didn't see any fresh salmon
on the buffet.
I can bring some, ma'am,
for an additional charge.
Market price.
Poached, please.
No butter or butter substitutes.
In other words,
there is no margarine for error.
Felice,
my family is so excited
about this wedding.
You see, mom and dad got married
on the military base,
and, well, sis eloped.
We're their only shot
at a real wedding.
And you're getting
quite the catch
with our Phillip.
Mother...
Well, my late husband
Dr. Hamilton and I
were only blessed
with one child.
Naturally, we want
the best for him.
Well, you're getting it
with Georgie.
Thank you.
Felice, you look so youthful.
What is your secret?
Phillip gave me
a lifestyle lift.
Which reminds me,
I have something for you,
georgeann.
Waiter?
Can you bring the box over?
Now, I know you had plans
to wear something else,
but I was able to call in
a last-minute favor.
Okay.
Open up.
Okay, okay.
Wow.
You can't go wrong
with Vera wang.
There is no wrong wang, right?
No wrong wang, right.
The thing is, um,
my mom's counting on me
to wear her dress.
It was my grandmother's.
I understand, I do,
but we need to ask ourselves,
which dress will look better
in the wedding pictures?
Well, felice is right, honey.
It's... it's just stunning.
Okay.
This is...
Big enough to fit a Barbie.
Well, it's a 2, dear.
Well, that explains it.
The last time I wore a 2
was on the back
of my baseball uniform,
right, dad?
Junior mariners.
Heck of a season.
We'll have it altered.
I mean, there must be
a proper tailor in town.
Well, we have a harbor
cruise planned for 1:00.
That's gonna be a no for me.
I tend to get seasick,
although I could go for
a round of golf,
if anyone's interested?
A skins game perhaps, gentlemen?
Yeah, that's a no for us.
We're not really
golf types, Phil.
Fishin'.
Fishing, all right.
Well, it's settled.
Phillip, you'll play golf,
georgeann, you'll come with me,
and the rest of you
will go on the boat.
Okay.
I think, I'm
going to freshen up.
Meet me in front of the hotel
at 1:00 sharp, okay?
Sure.
Waiter, can you
help her with the box?
Yeah, let's get this...
Are you kidding me?
What if we're
married for 50 years?
That is 50 christmases,
50 thanksgivings,
and 50 easters with your mother.
I doubt she'll be
around for all 50.
I have a feeling she will.
Look, you just don't fit
into her plan
for my entire life,
and that's a good thing.
She'll learn to love you.
The way that you'll learn
to love ballgames with my dad?
Well, how many games?
Like, two or three.
A year?
A week.
Can we stop talking
about our parents?
Yes, I would love to
not talk about our parents.
Thank you.
Um, I could give you
a tour of the "I do" suite?
I would love that.
Okay.
Upstairs, we have
the "his" and "hers" robes.
And right over here,
we have the nuptial basket.
Ooh...
Ooh...
And of course,
we can't forget
the incredible
wedding garden views...
Yeah.
...Where we can watch
complete strangers get married
from dawn until dusk.
Sorry.
It's the clinic.
I have to take this.
Yup.
This is Dr. Hamilton.
Dear.
I'll call you right back.
It's the Thompson girl,
isn't it?
She broke her new nose.
Horseback riding?
The mall.
I told her
no aggressive shopping.
I'm sorry, Georgie,
but I gotta go reset it.
You just got here.
And...
Dr. Green's on call,
remember?
She doesn't want a green nose.
She wants a Hamilton nose.
It shouldn't be
more than a few hours.
You're right.
I'll go with you.
You can't leave
your parents here
alone with my mother.
You're right.
Okay, you stay, I'll go.
Okay...
I'll be back in time for
the rehearsal dinner,
I promise, okay?
I'm sorry.
Hey, yeah, it's me.
Um, yeah, I should be
there in about an hour.
I'll be the girl
sitting alone at the table.
Come in, mother!
I just saw Phillip rush out.
Is everything all right?
Yeah, everything's fine,
he just had an emergency.
He just got here.
He can't leave again
when he's getting married.
Is he coming back?
Yes, mom, he's coming back.
Shouldn't you be meeting felice?
I still have a minute
and 30 seconds.
I could come shopping with you.
Why should we both suffer?
No, go on the cruise with dad.
It's prepaid.
Yeah, well,
I feel sorry for her.
All she has is Phillip.
Well, Phillip,
two houses, a private chef,
a limo, and a country club
membership.
Well, when it comes down to it,
none of that other stuff
really matters.
I'm sorry about the dress.
Honey, it's just a dress.
Your daughter can wear it
to her wedding.
My imaginary daughter's
already getting married?
I'm working on
the guest list right now.
And now I have to go.
Bye.
Mr. Griggs,
come in please.
Thanks for coming in.
Charles Evans.
I'm the new owner.
It's nice to meet you.
I heard I forgot something
at the bar?
That.
No, I didn't forget that.
I left it.
I'm glad you did.
I looked you up.
Your work on
the sky-vista development?
Exactly what I'm looking for.
You see, the bottom line is,
I'm expanding the hotel,
and I would like
to have you involved.
How much bigger
do you plan on getting?
It's just the rooftop altar
has a bird's-eye view
of my bathtub.
You do realize that
I'm offering you a job.
I do,
it's just when I moved here,
this place had 15 rooms
and a few weddings a month.
And a pu-pu bar that wasn't run
by homeland security.
It was paradise.
So if you're just planning
on stacking more suites
on top of party rooms,
I'm not that guy.
I was.
But I'm not that guy anymore.
Well, you do realize
that I'll just
hire someone else?
Yeah.
Yeah, I know.
I don't understand this.
I talked to the concierge.
He said the car would be here
in time for me to make
my appointment in town.
You need to make a call, okay?
The bride needs to have
her wedding dress
fitted today.
People are expecting us.
I need a car now.
Well, is it coming?
You having second thoughts?
Go.
- Whoa!
- Go, go, go!
Okay! All right.
All right.
Man...
Not that I mind, but...
What are you doing?
Avoiding a wedding
dress show-down
with my future mother-in-law.
A what?
I want to wear my mom's dress.
She wants me in Vera wang.
Okay, so, where are we going?
Anywhere out of
the line of fire.
And then what?
And then...
I hide till dinner.
Where's Dr. Hamilton
in all of this?
I've seen you six times already,
and every time, you're alone.
You've seen me three times.
Yeah?
Yeah?
You're counting?
Dr. Hamilton
is away on an emergency.
He's a surgeon.
Cardiac? Brain?
Rhinoplasty.
That's a nose job.
Why, yes, it is.
What's the emergency?
Is it running?
That's so funny.
I've heard that before.
In second grade.
Well, you're coming
to do an errand with me.
I'll have you back in 30, tops.
Wow.
Want to give me a hand?
Yeah.
Just grab the other end there.
You made this?
Yeah.
It's beautiful.
Thank you.
Wow.
So...
This is why you kidnapped me?
Free labor?
Exactly.
So, we're going
to put it just over here.
Okay.
Who's this for?
Whoever wants to sit here.
Really?
The whole island
used to look like this.
It's beautiful.
And the best part about it?
No weddings for a 15-mile range.
You do know you can
move away from the hotel.
Yeah, I do.
All my neighbors sold,
one by one.
I'm the last one to hold out.
Meanwhile, it's
four weddings a day,
365 days a year.
Well, I see
four nose jobs a day,
that's 1040 noses a year.
Plus otoplasties.
Auto... what?
Surgery to get
your ears pinned back.
Who would want to do that?
Big ears are
aesthetically displeasing.
They throw the face off-center.
Off-center, it's so under-rated.
Like Halibut?
Like...
The Sydney opera house.
Stonehenge.
Well...
The human heart.
All asymmetrical, all beautiful.
Look...
Right there,
you see those rocks?
Thousands of years of water
cutting up against it.
How imperfect is that,
yet perfect.
We should...
We should go.
Yeah.
Yeah, let's go.
I, thought this battery
at least had
one more charge in it.
Okay, but...
You can fix it.
Yeah. No problem.
All we need is one more car.
I'm calling AAA.
Okay.
No reception.
How are we getting out of here?
Good thing
you're not wearing heels.
You coming?
Are you sure
we shouldn't be on a road?
This is a shortcut.
How short?
I don't know, maybe 11 miles?
You're enjoying this,
aren't you?
Are you kidding me?
This entire outing has
thrown a wrench in my plans.
What?
I gotta start wearing shoes.
Here, let me see.
You're not going to try
and pin my ears back,
are you?
What is it, a nail?
Nope.
A pine needle.
What are you doing?
What...
This is a new t-shirt.
I'm helping you.
Hang on.
I'm not happy about this.
I thought you liked
imperfect things.
Okay.
You know, I was thinking,
what's the official cut-off age
to be an old maid?
That's what you were thinking?
I have service.
We have contact.
Yes.
Six missed calls?
His mother.
Felice.
Doesn't that mean "happy"?
It did, before she met me.
And what's wrong with you?
Apparently everything.
Phillip!
Georgie, I should have
taken you with me.
Sheila was all thumbs,
and she forgot to order
the #9 blades.
Is my mother behaving?
About that, um...
Who's that?
No one.
Thanks.
Where are you?
Listen,
I got a little sidetracked,
but everything's fine.
Are you on your way back?
Yeah, I'm just
wrapping things up here.
I have a quick consult
on a neck lift.
I tried to postpone it,
but it's the mayor's wife.
Phillip, I rescheduled that
for next week.
I know.
She just showed up.
I will be back
before mother can send back
the appetizers, all right?
Phillip?
Hey...
Let's go.
Yeah.
Mrs. Hamilton,
is there something
I can help you with?
Well, it appears as though
I've been stood up
by the bride to be.
Nervous forgetfulness, I'm sure.
As long as you're here,
I'd like to go over
some of the changes
to the wedding
we need to make.
When I married
Dr. Hamilton,
we had a simple white canopy
with tivoli lights.
When our vows were spoken,
the lights seemed to glow
like fireflies.
Mrs. Hamilton,
don't you worry.
This will be
a wedding made in heaven.
Excuse me.
Made in heaven,
like thunder and lightning.
I almost got married once.
Almost?
A partner at my firm
took off with my clients,
and my fiancee.
Wow.
That's awful.
You know, you'd think so.
But once the smoke cleared,
I realized
it was the best thing
that could have happened.
My whole life, I was just
going through the motions.
Wrong girl, wrong job,
new building, bigger,
newer, passionless.
I was... I was empty.
So I dropped out, and here I am.
Lost in the woods.
No, not lost.
I just don't want to
become that person again.
Well, you won't.
You have scar tissue.
A cut heals,
scar tissue is formed.
It's not always pretty,
but it's stronger,
better.
That probably sounds
so stupid to you.
No. No, it doesn't.
What is this place?
Destination wedding site.
Chinook.
From a time when marriages
lasted for life.
And for our deluxe package #2,
we have our natural
sulfur Springs,
shrouded with poison oak...
Music courtesy of
our indigenous birds,
and the coup de grace,
our fresh blueberry patch,
all-you-can-eat,
at no additional cost.
Hey...
What's wrong?
I'm a terrible bride.
I mean, I'm horrible.
I've seen worse.
No, you haven't.
Okay, so you're terrible.
There must be a reason.
There isn't.
Were you left at the altar?
No.
Parents divorced?
They've been married 36 years.
Then it's got to be
something to do with the groom.
No, there's nothing
wrong with the groom.
He's...
He's brilliant,
and accomplished, and...
Confident.
I mean, you should see him.
He doesn't even have friends,
he has fans.
Well, then, you have
nothing to worry about, right?
You do love him?
Yeah.
I mean, we-we get along great.
We've never had a fight, and...
We make a really great team.
I'm sorry, I'm so sorry.
No, no, no, it's okay.
Hey, it's okay, it's okay.
Here.
Thank you.
It's going to be
okay, all right?
I know, I know,
everything's
going to be fine, right?
Well, I didn't say that.
It's gonna be fine eventually.
Look, blueberries.
It's high in antioxidants.
I'm sorry.
I've been acting so crazy
since I've been here.
Wedding fever.
I see it all the time.
Really?
See, look, you're cured.
You know,
my mom...
She's been pushing
for this wedding since...
Since I brought
my first boy home.
Really?
She baked him a cake,
and he only came over
to do homework.
Well, you know what they say,
you can try to get somewhere
in a hurry,
and it'll get you there faster,
but it might get you
into an accident.
Tell me,
is this the same "they"
that says it's bad luck
if your ring's too tight?
No. No, that...
That's a different "they."
Hey!
Don't hit me with that.
Give me that.
Come here.
Hey!
Give me your best shot.
There's Georgie.
And what a relief,
Phillip's here.
That's not
Dr. Phil.
He's not even wearing shoes.
Hey, guys, looks like
you caught some fish.
Yeah.
Hey, good to
see you again, Luke.
You too, judd.
Um, I've got some
blueberries on me.
Fish guts.
All right.
...that's
Melissa and Mike,
otherwise known as m & m.
That's my mom.
Everyone, this is Luke griggs.
Really good to meet all of you.
Where's Phillip?
He got delayed.
Something about
a neck needing a lift?
He will be here
in time for rehearsal,
unless you have
another Phillip update.
Georgeann.
I assume you have a good excuse
for standing me up.
I do.
Good.
I don't.
Do you mind
if I have a word, felice?
It's Mrs. Hamilton.
Um, you see,
Mrs. Hamilton,
Georgie wants your approval,
like any daughter-in-law would,
and that's why
she's afraid to tell you
that she wants to wear
her mother's dress.
And not just because
she has to hold
her breath to wear it,
but because it has history,
and history's important, right?
I mean, this island has history,
and that dress
has history, and...
Who are you,
and why am I listening to
this high school debate speech?
I'm, um...
Nobody.
As I assumed.
Georgeann,
if you wanted
to wear your mother's dress,
why didn't you just say so?
I wanted you to like me.
For heaven sakes, dear.
We're going to be family.
Besides,
if you'd rather wear
orlon than Vera wang,
who am I to stop you?
It's only 30% orlon.
The rest is sateen.
How reassuring.
Well,
I'm sure you'd all like
to get cleaned up
before Phillip arrives.
Of course.
I hope I didn't make that worse.
No, actually, that was...
That was the warmest
I've ever seen her.
Yikes.
Yeah.
Okay, guys,
I gotta get back to the point
and give this truck a charge.
You got plans tonight?
No.
Come to the rehearsal dinner.
I really appreciate the
invite, judd, thank you.
Yeah, I'll be there.
As long as it's okay
with you, Mrs. Dwyer.
It's more than okay,
and you can call me Emma.
Okay, Emma.
All right,
m & m.
Okay.
I gotta put this fish on ice.
You know,
I just think he's so charming...
As your bridesmaid,
I have to ask,
are you afraid that
Phillip won't show up?
Or are you worried that he will?
You know,
it's not like Phillip
to be late.
He's probably
just stuck in traffic.
He's always on time
for his surgeries.
Here he is.
Hey, guys.
M, m, guys.
- Hey.
- Hello.
Judd, good to see you again.
Good to be seen.
Emma, you look lovely.
Thank you.
Mrs. Hamilton,
wedding black, how festive.
Do I know you?
We met an hour ago.
Apparently you failed
to make an impression.
I'm going to wait in my room
until Phillip arrives.
Okay.
Bye.
- Bye.
- Bye-bye.
She means well.
You look...
You too.
So, where's the lucky groom?
He's still on his way.
Still?
Well, I mean,
you know what they say.
It's bad luck to see the bride
before the wedding.
But it is good luck
to see her during.
All right, people,
rehearsal, rehearsal.
Everybody in their places.
Bride and Dr. Hamilton,
follow me...
Dorian, no, no, no,
this isn't
the real Dr. Hamilton.
I'm not?
No.
Be that as it may,
we do have another
rehearsal party
breathing down our necks,
so might I suggest,
for a small, nominal fee,
you can hire a stand-in.
I've got to pay for
a stand-in groom now?
Dad...
Look, I'm already here,
I don't mind doing it.
No.
- He doesn't mind.
- No!
I'd be honored.
I don't have to
sign a pre-nup, do I?
It's fine.
I'm sure somebody else can...
Let's go.
You see, you're already
ordering me around.
It's like we're already married.
Okay.
So, we've already had
the walk down the aisle,
the bride and groom,
accompanied by the harp player.
The bride and groom
now look at each other.
In the eyes, not the feet.
Very nice.
We are gathered here together...
Blah, blah, blah...
"In sickness and in health..."
Ceremony, ceremony...
"Do you take this woman
to be your lawfully wedded wife?
That sounds good.
And do you take this man
to love, honor, Cherish,
yadda, yadda, yadda?
Okay.
"Yes, I do," would be
more in keeping
with the nuptial tone.
Yes.
Rings?
They're with the groom, still.
Um, I have a ring.
No, no.
No... no, we should
not be doing that.
It's not a big deal.
It's just, it's for good luck.
Chinook.
It's not too tight, is it?
No.
So, we now go to the wrap-up,
"I now pronounce you..."
Music, tears, laughter,
and the throwing of the quinoa.
You forgot to say,
"you may now kiss the bride."
What?
Aren't you the stand-in?
Well, I'm,
I'm just trying to cover
all the bases here, you know?
To... marriages.
To marriages...
Cheers.
Yeah, Emma and I were happy
for 20 years.
And then we met.
So, you guys must have
a great story.
The best.
Yeah. Well,
we met in the waiting room
of a job interview.
There was an empty couch,
and instead of sitting
on separate ends,
we both sat in the middle.
Hello.
We didn't get the job,
but...
We got each other.
And they have been finishing
each other's sentences...
...ever since.
Yeah.
So, what about you and Phillip?
What's your story?
Well, we work together.
We've actually worked together
for four years,
and things just sort of
fell into place.
We just...
Evolved.
So you evolved, and...
And that's it.
That's it?
Yeah, that's it.
Well, not everyone has a story.
Um...
I-I do.
You do?
Yeah, this girl
walked into a mini mart.
I was definitely not
planning on meeting someone,
and our hands touched
over an aspirin bottle.
I had a headache.
She did too.
It was sheer agony
at first sight.
She was luminous.
Hello, everyone.
Apologies.
What did we miss?
Clearly nothing.
Felice is right.
You just missed some
fake wedding stuff,
and food, that's all.
Hi.
Hey.
To Georgie and Phillip,
may you always be as happy
as you are this very minute.
Who's that?
That's Luke,
the wedding stand-in.
The stand-in.
And now that you're here,
I guess I can go.
You work for the hotel?
No.
No, no, but I recommend
the chicken Kiev.
Judd.
Emma, m, m...
Georgie, have
a wonderful wedding.
Thank you.
Wait.
You forgot your ring.
No, no, it's yours.
No, take it. It's yours.
It's yours.
Be happy, Georgie.
When was the last
time we were alone?
Post-brunch, pre-necklift?
I'm sorry about today,
and yesterday.
It's okay.
No, it's not.
I should have let
green handle it,
but I just, I couldn't.
I know.
You do know.
I mean, that's what
I love about you,
I don't have to explain things.
That's what you love about me?
Did I say something wrong?
I need to talk to you
about today.
If you're talking about
standing up to my mother,
I get it.
I would have done
the exact same thing.
Although, can I
be honest with you?
Please.
Not to put down your
mother's dress, or anything,
but I mean, the Vera wang
really would be more flattering.
Sorry.
I'm not picking up.
I didn't say anything.
Just, once all this
wedding stuff
is behind us,
everything will settle down.
Which reminds me,
I almost forgot.
I have something for you.
Try it on.
Isn't that bad luck?
Since when are you
superstitious?
You're right,
it's probably worse luck
if it doesn't fit, right?
It's too loose.
I'll put tape on it.
No. I told...
Isn't that...
Hey, you're
the stand-in guy, right?
Sorry?
I can't hear you!
Hey, Phillip,
what are you doing?
I want to talk to that guy.
I just noticed
something earlier,
and I'd kick myself
if I didn't address it.
Sure, okay.
Hey.
Hi.
It's a beautiful night?
Yeah, look, um,
I wanted to ask you something
back at the dining room,
but you left in such a hurry
that I never got a chance.
Have you ever had
your nose broken?
Look, um,
nothing happened, okay?
Not nothing-nothing,
'cause under different
circumstances,
something could have happened,
but it didn't.
All right, okay.
Go ahead, take your best shot.
I probably deserve it.
What are you taking about?
I shouldn't have
taken her up-island.
And-and my shortcut,
it could have been shorter.
And it's possible I knew
my battery was gonna die...
But I-I have to
apologize, Phillip.
I didn't...
You have an amazing woman,
and, you know, something
could have happened,
but it didn't,
and it won't,
because you guys are
getting married in 18 hours.
Yeah...
Yeah, I have no idea
what that meant,
and I do know that
Georgie is amazing,
and I am lucky to have her.
Okay, look...
You don't have to explain.
I trust you.
You have this slight
nasal fracture,
most likely from an old injury
that was untreated.
I can fix it.
He can.
Okay.
The thing is, I like my nose.
I use it for breathing.
How is your breathing?
Come to think of it,
it's not that good.
You know, I'd really
like to look at that
under the light.
Um... can we?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah?
Yeah, let's go, let's go inside.
Yeah, you guys...
Yeah.
Tell me if you feel
any tenderness
or a clicking sound there.
Right there?
A little bit right there.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And are you prone to infection?
Sometimes.
Okay, so, listen, call Georgie,
set up an appointment.
We'll be back in the
office on Tuesday.
We'll get you sorted out.
All right?
Okay, Tuesday.
No honeymoon?
Well, this is our honeymoon.
Until we can sneak off
in August, to Rome.
Check out some of
those Roman noses?
I like this guy.
Yeah.
We should go, honey.
So, I'll see you tomorrow?
Yeah.
Yeah, see you...
Tomorrow?
At the wedding.
I assume you'll be there now.
Well,
I am part of the honeymoon.
So why not see this through
till the end, right?
At 3:00?
Black tie optional?
- Um...
- Yeah.
Yup. Yes.
We'll see you.
Okay, yeah.
Bye.
Bye.
Yeah, I should be available
till about 2:30-ish,
I've just got to wrap
something up this afternoon.
Okay, great.
Talk to you soon.
Bye.
I didn't mean...
Wrap up like a sandwich.
I know.
So, it's the, it's the big day.
Your cold foot again?
It's both feet now.
And I'm afraid
it's not just my feet.
Okay.
You're an amazing man...
Boy.
You're the perfect man.
I mean, who wouldn't
want to marry you?
Well, I'm guessing...
You.
We don't have that thing
that-that couples have
when they're in love.
We don't have a story,
we don't...
Have that moment
where we just knew,
and it's like we got
swept up in this wave,
and now we are about
to make a huge mistake.
Georgie, we could...
No, if we didn't work together,
and you didn't
depend on me so much...
If I was just...
Some girl
you met in a mini-mart...
Would you fall in love with me?
Probably not.
Yeah, I think I've been
using work as an excuse.
I know that there's something
missing between us,
I just...
I thought it was fixable,
you know?
We just...
Work together so well
at the office, you know?
I just thought all of this
was the next logical step.
I do love you.
I love you too.
So you're not upset?
I... I guess I should be,
but, um...
Ooh...
I think I'm relieved.
Yeah.
Well...
You have just made me
the happiest woman on earth.
No, I take that back.
You've made your mother
the happiest woman on earth.
I can just hear
the celebration now.
Country club, poached salmon?
No butter or butter substitutes.
None at all.
No.
Hoo.
What am I going
to tell my mother?
She's gonna be crushed.
We should just get married.
We'll-we'll tell them together.
The clinic.
Take it.
No, i... okay, I will...
I will meet you for brunch,
and we will tell them together.
Okay.
I will be the happily
unmarried girl
by the omelette station.
Everything's going
to be fine, Georgie.
I know.
This is Dr. Hamilton.
Yes.
Hey, thanks for coming up here.
I like the new drawings.
They're rough,
but I wanted you to see
what I was talking about.
Wow, it is beautiful here.
This is what the
grounds of your hotel
used to look like.
You know the spot
where my cottage is?
Years ago, that was
a natural grotto.
I was looking into the
historical topography maps,
and I was thinking
we could restore it
to its original state.
It could make for
a beautiful wedding site.
I thought you didn't
want the job.
Yeah, so did I.
You know, the truth is,
I don't want
to make things bigger.
I want to make them better.
And I'm not saying
you go back to 15 rooms
and three weddings a month.
But your hotel could be
part of the island again.
You know, instead of
a conveyer belt of brides,
you give people
a place to remember.
A memory that lasts
hopefully longer than
most of their marriages do.
So, why the change of heart?
A girl.
Isn't it always.
Now, I can't offer you
what they were paying you
at your firm.
Why don't you throw in
a free pu-pu pass?
All you can eat?
You might regret that.
Is that a yes?
You had me at pu-pus.
Come back for happy hour,
we'll go over the details then.
You know what,
could we do it tomorrow?
I've got to see a bride
about a groom.
Enjoy.
It looks so good...
Sorry I'm late.
Hi.
Maybe we should wait
till they finish eating.
Although with my family,
that could take forever.
I think we should do it now.
Right, okay,
you make the incision,
I'll close.
Ahem. Okay.
Great.
Georgie and I
have an announcement.
No.
Everybody, um...
Georgie has something to say.
That's it?
That's your incision?
Please tell me this isn't
what I think it is.
Mom, dad,
I know how much you
wanted this wedding.
Felice, I know
how much you didn't.
And as it turns out,
I'm going to remain unmarried
for the foreseeable future,
and Phillip is going to
remain married to his work.
Thank heavens, Phillip,
you've come to your senses.
Georgeann, I'm sure
you and your family,
in time, will agree.
It was Georgie
who called it off, mother.
Is that true, Georgie?
Mom, it was
the right thing to do.
For both of us,
and the next time
I almost get married,
I hope it's to someone
as great as Georgie.
Georgie, you would have made
a wonderful daughter-in-law.
And you would have made
an amazing...
Whoa, let's quit
while we're ahead, okay?
Okay.
I'm going to go pack.
See ya.
- Bye.
- Bye.
I am so sorry,
Mr. and Mrs. Dwyer.
It happens.
Come by sometime.
I'll throw some Halibut
on the grill.
I would love that,
and, someday,
I hope that Georgie
can find something
like what you two have.
She will.
You both will.
I should, um...
Yeah. I'll be
right back.
Take care, Phillip.
Bye, Phillip.
Bye.
So I'll see you
back at the office?
Think you can pin back
the Smith twins without me?
I need some time
to figure things out.
Of course.
Take as much time as you need.
Okay.
- Bye.
- Bye.
Are you okay?
Well, we should be
asking you that.
Yes, I am fine.
No.
I'm better than fine.
I'm happy.
Well, listen,
as long as we have
a deluxe package #3 paid for,
there's no use in wasting
a good wedding, right?
I suppose I could ask Dorian
to get one of those
stand-in grooms.
Well, I think
we already have a groom.
Right, dad?
We have a bride.
We even have a dress.
You look beautiful.
That is very nice of you to say.
It's true.
Always with the jokes,
just like your father.
Mom...
Are you nervous?
Okay, so I'm nervous.
After 36 years?
Well, the last time I did this,
your father didn't know
what he was getting into.
Now this time...
He does.
And...
He's out there,
waiting for you.
That's your song.
Let's go.
Wait, what about the harp?
I canceled the harp
and dove option.
We are now going with
the Chimichanga station
and the oldies band
on the beach.
And you and dad
are saying your own vows.
I thought you weren't
a wedding person.
Well, turns out, I kind of am.
Besides, I'm single now.
What else am I going to do?
Are you going to
walk me down the aisle?
With pleasure.
Come on.
Thank you.
Am I too late?
I believe they're between
"I do" and the quinoa.
No!
Georgie, don't get married!
I'm so sorry, guys.
Please...
Continue.
Hey.
Hey.
Okay, everybody,
please gather 'round.
The next wedding
will be starting
in five minutes, please.
Let's move along.
Good, good.
This way, please.
Can we pretend like
that just didn't happen?
No. No,
I definitely can't.
So...
Where's Phillip?
You aren't...
You're-you're not...
We called it off.
Yes!
Yeah...
I'm...
I mean...
So you're not getting married?
No.
I decided to wait
until I found that man
I could annoy
for the rest of my life.
Well, it just so happens
that I know someone
who finds you
incredibly annoying.
I find you incredibly
annoying too.
I was hoping you'd say that.
So, you're selling your cottage?
Yeah.
Yeah, I'm going to...
I'm going to move up-island.
By your bench?
By our bench.
Do you want to...
Go for...
Aspirin?
Dinner.
I do.
I do too.
Can I kiss the non-bride?
Yes.
Okay, happy couple,
we really have to move it along.
We have another
wedding scheduled.
Thank you. Thank you.
I guess we'll have to take this
up to the chocolate fountain.
About that,
I canceled
the chocolate fountain.
You did what?
Emma, did you know
she canceled
the chocolate fountain?
Let's forget about
this "Emma" business.
You just call me "mom."
I knew she was
going to say that.
And here's our historic grotto.
This is the place
