My Perfect Wedding (2022) - full transcript

Trisha has obsessed over her wedding since childhood, but now she's stuck between the man she wants, the man who wants her, and the man she chose.

I've been

dreaming about my wedding

since I was a little girl,

ever since my first wedding

to Dante, when we were seven.

He was this cute

scrawny little kid

that lived in my neighborhood.

He had a crush on

me and I thought

he'd be as good of

a husband as any.

I always said I was

gonna have a wedding

as beautiful as my

pretend wedding to Dante.

♪ Wake up.

♪ It's a brand new day.

♪ Got nothing standing

in my way.

♪ It's looking beautiful

in a whole new way.

♪ Oh, it's time to wake up.

♪ It's time to make a change,

goodbye to yesterday.

♪ I hear my heart saying,

it's going to be ok.

♪ I have enough of tears.

♪ I've had enough of

this, so no more dreaming.

♪ Wake up.

♪ It's a brand new day.

♪ Got nothing standing

in my way.

♪ It's looking beautiful...

But now I'm grown

and successful,

and I still think about

the wedding sometimes,

but what I think about

mostly is the perfect guy

proposing to me and me

getting my real dream wedding.

The wedding I've been planning

in my head since I was seven.

And I know I'm gonna get it.

I don't know who's

going to give it to me,

but I'm going to get it.

Hey!

Hey, what time is it?

What do you mean

what time it is?

I don't know, I brought

you some coffee.

I gotta go.

What do you mean you gotta go?

Are you not gonna

stay for breakfast?

Baby, I don't

even like breakfast.

Since when?

Since always, baby.

What is up?

You're acting weird!

It's gonna be all right.

It's gonna be all right.

Oh, you're rushing outta here

like I'm some type

of booty call?

Do you like your flowers, baby?

They're beautiful.

Keith?

- Yes?

- Where are you going?

Baby, listen, I gotta

go, I gotta go, come on.

- You gotta go?

- Yes, baby.

I don't understand,

didn't we have

a good time last night?

Yes, we had a great time.

We had a great time, listen,

I just gotta go, I'm late.

- You're late?

- See you later, come on.

Keith!

Keith!

Baby, I'll be back.

What?!

Oh, he gets on my nerves.

Trisha, I can see you!

Open the door, girl.

What's wrong with you?

Keith.

I see.

So I guess him sending

you flowers worked, huh?

I thought I was finally done.

Well, did you tell

your lower half?

What happened?

Well, the problem is

that he always expects me

to be there and I want more.

Have you told him this?

Yeah, I keep telling

him, but he doesn't get it.

Well, why not just

leave him alone?

'Cause my lower

half doesn't want to.

Maybe he's changed.

Maybe he does want more.

What?

Keith.

What'd he say?

He said, "I'm sorry I had to

run out on you this morning."

But he ran out on you?

Yeah.

"But I really enjoyed

seeing you last night."

I'd love to take you

out for dinner tonight.

Let's recreate our first date.

I'll meet you there at 8.

"Wear that black dress I like."

You're not gonna believe

what emojis he used.

See, it sounds

like he has changed.

Maybe you just need

to give him a chance.

Yeah, maybe you're right.

Maybe he is different.

Ooh, what if he's proposing?

Okay, see?

Now you're talking crazy.

You always do this.

Just relax, go have dinner.

Nothing more, nothing less.

Right.

Relax, right.

Girl, let me go find

that sexy black dress.

Make sure it covers

your lower half.

♪ Oh oh oh oh

♪ Gonna shine like stars

♪ Oh oh oh oh

♪ In a little black dress

♪ Oh oh oh oh

♪ Gonna make this night

♪ Oh one you'll never forget

♪ Oh oh oh oh

♪ Gonna look so good

♪ Oh oh oh oh

♪ Can't take your eyes off me

♪ Oh oh oh oh

♪ Gonna make this night

♪ Oh one you'll want to lead

♪ Oh oh oh oh

♪ Oh oh oh oh

♪ Oh oh oh oh ♪ You can't

take your eyes off me

♪ Oh oh oh oh

There was a time

that Keith was really romantic,

and now he wants to

recreate our first date.

Maybe he really is

trying to change

and take our relationship

more seriously.

God knows, I've been asking him

and wanting more

of a commitment.

Maybe he's finally

taking me serious.

Yeah, you know, that

was funny as hell.

I liked it.

- Yeah.

- It is a nice night.

It is, it is.

You always been kinda silly.

Always made me laugh.

That's good.

And I can

appreciate that, you know?

Yeah.

You look really,

really good, babe.

You look pretty good too, Keith.

Thank you.

Look, I know we've been back

and forth for some time now

and I know you feel like I

never really took us serious.

I want you to know that

that's all changed.

I think it's time that

we get serious about us.

Is that right?

Yeah, I'm ready

for the next level.

Trisha?

Yes?

I think we should

start dating again.

What?

I think we should

start dating again, baby.

Let's do it, I'm ready, baby.

What?

Goodnight, Keith.

Hello.

Well, how did it go?

It went fine.

Uh-oh, that doesn't sound good.

What did he say?

He said he wanted

to start dating again.

What else?

That's it, that's all he said.

I thought it would've been

a little bit more than that.

Me too.

Well, what did you say?

Nothing, I was too in shock.

Well, maybe this

is a good thing.

You guys can start fresh

and take your time.

I'm tired of taking my

time, I'm tired of waiting.

When is it my turn?

It's gonna be your turn soon.

Yeah, right.

You wanna get together tomorrow?

We could just eat and binge

watch something on Netflix.

I would love to, but my

parents and brother are

coming over for dinner.

Okay, well, call

me this weekend.

And, hey, it's gonna be okay.

Love you.

Love you, too.

Baby, you got it

smelling good already.

I thought you was

gonna help me cook.

Baby, I am helping.

How?

I brought in all the

groceries from the store.

My parents are about

to be here any second now

and I have a lot to do, Keith.

You said you was

gonna help me cook.

What do you need help with?

You know what? Forget it.

Baby, you just said you

need help, so I'm asking you,

what do you need help with?

I want you to want to help me.

What are you

talking about, Trisha?

You know I don't cook.

See, that's what

I'm talking about.

Are you really getting upset

because I don't

know how to cook?

No, I'm getting upset

because you won't try

to make the effort

to help me cook.

I offered to help!

Baby.

What?

Why are you doing this again?

Doing what?

Always finding

something to fuss about.

Look, Keith, I only

asked you to do one thing,

one thing today.

Baby, why you trying to

cook all this stuff anyway?

I mean, nobody asked

you to do that.

If it was that

serious, I could have

just stopped by the store

and bought some food

or either had

someone to cater it.

It's not about the food, Keith.

You said you

needed help cooking.

Why don't you get it?

It would be nice if you

did things when I asked.

It would be even nice

if you did things

without me having to ask you.

I did something this morning

without you having to ask.

Oh, come on, Keith.

I'm being serious.

What, babe?

You never take anything serious.

You don't even take me serious.

You just come around

when you want to.

And when you come around,

you don't even pay

me any attention.

Baby, how much

attention do you need?

I mean, I try to come around

more, but it's not enough.

I try to do nice things for

you, but it's not enough.

I mean, I offer to help,

but it's still not enough.

Nothing I ever do is enough

for you, and it's sickening!

What more do you want from me?

You know what I want?

Forget it.

You know what?

I'm done, we're done.

What?

I'm done with this.

I don't deserve this.

I deserve someone who cares.

I'm not spending one more minute

with some inconsiderate jerk.

It's really good, pumpkin.

Thanks, dad.

- I mean, it's aright.

- Oh, come on.

Is that why your

plate's almost empty?

Well, maybe I didn't

wanna hurt your feelings.

Oh, whatever.

You know you're going

back for seconds.

I think those are thirds.

Yeah, right?

So how's everything with work?

It's good.

Business is booming and I'm

getting new clients every day.

Okay, well, that's a blessing.

Yeah.

How's that crazy

assistant of yours?

Stephanie, she's

crazy, which is good.

Hey, you think she

ever gimme a chance

to really like-Nope.

You know, honey, we

are really proud of you.

We really are.

What?

So, how's dating?

You seeing anybody special?

Well, Keith, you know

we off and on again.

Keith?

Yeah, Keith.

What's wrong with Keith?

- What's right with him?

- Mom!

Dad, you feel that way too?

Yeah, if I'm being honest,

I never really

cared for the fella.

Really? Why?

He just didn't seem

like he was interested

in committing to you,

you know, settling down.

No, Keith and I are thinking

about getting married.

Girl, ain't nobody

gonna marry you.

Yeah, I'm not

getting any younger.

Yeah, If that ain't the truth.

Listen, baby girl.

Don't even worry about him.

I know you thought

you'd be married by now.

I mean, I know I did.

You know, as a kid, you spent

almost every day after school

talking and planning

your wedding.

I mean, you were obsessed

with getting married!

Just give it some time.

You will meet the

right one soon enough.

Oh, oh, oh, speaking of, honey.

I know somebody who

might be good for you.

Dad!

The only way you gonna

get somebody to marry you

is if you pay him to do it.

Ah, ma!

That's what you get.

No, seriously, honey.

You remember that

fella you tried

to marry when you were a kid?

I ran into him,

and you know what?

He asked about you.

Yes, he did, he did!

No, no, no, no, no.

Mom, wasn't that the kid that

used to drink his own spit?

Yep, that's the one.

Nasty little...

Stop, stop, mm-mm.

What y'all need to

do is focus on JJ.

He's single and he needs

somebody desperately.

That boy right there?

He ain't got nothing to offer.

- That's my baby.

- Hey, I'm right here.

We love you.

Bless my baby heart, it's okay.

I love y'all too, whatever.

On Tuesdays.

JJ, you lonely, huh?

♪ Hey there, lonely boy

Whatever, I'm going

to the bathroom.

Y'all ain't got no more edge,

just stop messing with that boy.

Ay yo, sis, I don't

like the perfume

you got in the bathroom.

Ah, just stay outta my stuff.

Listen, sweetheart.

We really enjoyed dinner,

we'll see you later.

All right.

Get some rest, okay?

Call me tomorrow.

- Come on.

- All right, all right.

Hey, you know I was lying

about all that

marrying stuff, right?

- I know.

- No, I'm serious, sis.

You dope, any guy would

be lucky to be with you.

Really?

Yeah, but that Keith dude,

he ain't it, all right?

Yeah, all right.

All right, I love you.

Love you too.

All right, good night.

Bye.

♪ La la la la la la

I never thought I'd see the day

where I would go speed dating,

but what's a girl to do?

How else am I supposed

to find a decent man?

Maybe I should give it a try.

You have no idea

what I did today.

What?

I signed up for speed dating.

You did what?

Girl, weren't you just

getting over Keith?

Girl, my biological

clock is ticking, okay?

I gotta move on from Keith.

Besides, Steph,

I get 803 emails,

and these guys seem

like they're ready.

What?

Let me see!

Holy!

Yeah, you wanna help

me pick out some of them?

I'm not about to go

through 803 emails.

Yes you are, when you see

how fine these pictures look.

Well, maybe I could

help you go through a few.

Look at this one.

Let me see, let

me see, let me see.

What do we have,

Ooh, what about this one?

Mm! Yes!

Most definitely put

him on the list.

- Gotcha.

- He's a good one.

How many is that?

One, two, I don't know,

I lost count.

Ooh!

What?

This one right here.

Oh, he is definitely

going on the list.

Especially his lower half.

Yes, I see it.

I can't believe

you doing this, girl.

I'm just tired of waiting.

I wanna get married, I want

a big, beautiful wedding.

Ooh!

I could definitely marry him.

Let me see that.

What is it?

Keith.

Oh, Keith.

Yes, girl, he's

called me like 20 times,

but I'm definitely done.

I'm done with you!

Yes, Keith, I'm done!

All right, all right, let's

look through some more.

Let me see.

You know you have

some women in here?

Are they cute?

Well...

Oh, you know, you

can't really do this, right?

Do what?

This is crazy!

You're talking about meeting

random strangers at a bar.

Girl, it's actually

a restaurant.

Oh, I'm gonna record saying

how insane this is right now.

Just promise

you won't tell anyone.

Trisha, I don't know who

would believe me.

What you gonna wear?

Something sexy.

Ah, my boy, man!

What you doing?

Well, we gonna try

Okay, now I'm

having second thoughts.

What am I doing?

Maybe this isn't a good idea.

I should get out of here.

Excuse me.

No, I can't handle

any more dates tonight.

No, well, my name is Carter,

and I didn't mean to

startle you, okay?

But I've been watching you

and I just have to ask,

what is a beautiful

woman like you

doing speed dating in a bar?

Well, I wouldn't be,

if the guy I used to date

would just marry me already.

Interesting.

Well, I may have a

proposition for you.

What kind of proposition?

My boss is looking for a bride.

Maybe I can

introduce you to him.

A bride? Why?

Who is your boss?

His name is Benjamin Sanders.

His family owns a

technology firm.

I'm his assistant.

Is your boss hiding

from the FBI or something?

No, he's just a regular guy.

Sure, a regular

guy looking to marry

a random girl he's never met?

Well, that's funny.

What's so funny?

Well, the irony, for one.

I mean, aren't you

looking to date

some random guy

you've never met?

Touche!

Look, trust me.

What?

He needs this.

And it will be a lot

of money in it for you.

Could be a win-win.

Besides, who wouldn't

wanna be married

to a beautiful woman like you?

Think about it.

Let me know.

- Hello.

- Hey, so how'd it go?

Any good ones?

Actually, there was

quite a few good ones,

but you're not

gonna believe this.

What?

So this guy comes up

to me with a proposition,

and he says his rich boss

is looking for a bride.

What? Why?

I don't know, he wouldn't say.

Are you gonna do it?

I don't know.

I don't even know what

the guy looks like.

All I got was his name.

What's his name?

Benjamin Sanders.

Hold on, let me see.

Does he work for a

huge tech company?

Yes, how did you know that?

Because it says so right

here next to his picture.

He's really cute.

He's smart too.

You know, technology is

a good field to be in.

Maybe I should marry him.

Girl, stop.

I still can't believe

you're doing this.

Well, you didn't

tell anyone, did you?

Who would I tell?

We don't have any other friends.

You're really serious.

I don't know.

Maybe I should set up a

dinner with him tomorrow.

Well, do you need

me to stop by to check

and make sure you

aren't kidnapped?

Girl, he's not

going to kidnap me.

Mm-hm, okay.

You know what?

Okay, call me.

Trisha, right?

Ben, right?

You look just like your picture.

So Carter showed

you my pictures?

Uh-huh.

Like your flowers?

Yeah, I like them.

And I like the line too.

If you hear my phone ring,

it's my best friend Stephanie.

She's making sure you're

not a serial killer.

Let me ask you a question.

What?

Tell me why is it that someone

as beautiful as you are

still single?

Well, I've been waiting

all my life to have

the perfect wedding and

the perfect marriage,

but I guess life has

different plans for me.

You could still have

a perfect wedding.

Really?

Yeah, marry me.

That's crazy.

Nah, that's not crazy.

Here's what I know about crazy.

What I know about crazy

is women are crazy,

and men are stupid.

And the reason that

women are crazy is

because men are stupid.

Yeah, ain't that the truth?

Yeah.

My friend Stephanie

thinks I'm crazy,

but I don't know, maybe I am.

Why?

No, you should always do

what makes you happy, okay?

And if having a perfect

wedding makes you happy,

then I say do it.

- Really?

- Yep.

So much so, I brought you this.

What's this?

It's just a simple prenup.

It says you'll pay me $500,000

to be married to you for a year.

Nothing else more?

Nothing more, nothing less.

Look, I'm just like you.

I'm tired of looking

for Miss Perfect.

The only thing is if I

don't get married soon,

I lose my inheritance.

Look, we both can get what

we want off this deal, right?

And then we can go ahead

on and live our lives.

Okay, so why don't you pay

me a million dollars then?

Done.

Really?

Yeah.

And you'll pay for everything?

Everything, whatever you want.

This sounds too good to be true.

I gotta see if you're some kind

of crazy criminal or something.

Listen, I'll have my

assistant give you a call,

give you everything you need.

Okay, well, tell me a little

bit more about yourself.

Well, I-

Trisha!

Oh my God, that's my brother.

What are you doing here?

Hey, what you mean?

I'm a here for dinner.

Wait, you didn't

get my voicemail?

Girl, you know, I don't

be checking my messages.

Mom and dad didn't tell you?

No, they don't talk to me much.

Dinner plans have

been canceled, JJ.

Well, I can see that.

'Cause that ain't Keith.

Who's Keith?

He don't know about Keith?

Hey, that's none

of your business.

Wait, none of my business?

I mean, it's all my business

when you got this

strange man over here.

Hey, this is my house!

I swear you shouldn't be

asking me questions like that.

- Ooh.

- You gotta go.

- Oh so you gonna kick me out?

- Yes.

When I'm over here, just

trying to look out for you?

Bye.

Can I just at least

get like a sandwich

or something please?

Bye.

Oh my God, I'm

telling mom and dad.

Whoa!

You know, I have sisters too,

and they always in my business.

You really think

he gon' tell them?

He's definitely

telling mom and dad.

Yeah, he looks

like he's gonna tell.

Hey, just

giving you another call

to make sure you're alive,

and not tied up in his

basement or something.

I just wanna tell

you that I don't appreciate

the way you kicked

me out earlier.

It was rude and I was hungry.

Hi sweetie, it's mom.

I just got a weird

text from your brother.

Something about a strange

man at your place.

I really couldn't make it

out, just call me, okay?

Is there some man in your house?

Do I need to come over there?

You just can't

go barge in over there.

I can if some man is there.

I'm going over there.

Call JJ.

Leave her alone.

Mm-hm, look, I told

you I was gonna tell them,

and that's what you

get for not feeding me.

And I'm coming over

tomorrow for leftovers.

Hey, why

didn't you call me back?

I was worried.

Sorry I didn't call you back.

Just busy.

What is all of this?

These are my wedding options.

Sit.

Okay, tell me

you're not about to do

what I think you're doing.

Yep, I'm getting married,

and the wedding's gonna be

everything I dreamed of.

You have officially

lost your mind.

Yeah, well, at least

Ben knows what he wants,

and Keith, I'm

just tired of him.

I'm ready to move on.

What are you gonna

tell your parents?

What is he gonna

tell his family?

I don't know.

I haven't thought that far yet.

Oh, look at this contract.

- Are you serious?

- Mm-hm.

He's really gonna pay

you this much to marry him?

Yeah, he's paying

for everything.

That's why I need

your help, Steph.

You know this is a

fake wedding, right?

Yeah, it's fake,

but it doesn't make it

any less stressful.

- Okay, let's do it, but,

- What?

I'm charging premium since

your fiance's paying for it.

Hey, charge whatever you

want, we got the money!

- Ooh, okay.

- Try this cake.

- It's good, right?

- Where's the chocolate?

Mm, okay, help me choose.

We have the buttercup,

the Stephanie floribunda,

ooh, look at the lily of valley.

How about we just

get whatever you want?

I mean, hell, we can

just buy all of them.

It's not about that.

I just thought we

could choose together.

Maybe we can find something

that you like a little bit,

I like a little bit-

Let me take this,

give me a second.

What?

You know what, Trisha?

I know that you want this

to be the perfect wedding,

so how about we let the

professionals take care of it?

I spoke with the top

wedding planner in the state

and she agreed to come in and

take over the whole thing.

It's great, right?

I don't know, Ben.

Come on, trust me.

Okay?

No.

No what?

No, that's not what I want.

You promised me I can plan

the wedding that I want,

and what I want is to plan

the wedding that

I'm supposed to plan

with the man I'm

supposed to marry.

So are you gonna help

me choose or not?

Fine.

Call you in the morning.

Hey.

What you doing?

Girl, it's seven in the morning.

You have any plans today?

Yeah, I gotta meet Ben today

to go get fitted for his suit.

Oh, well, call me later.

Okay.

Bye.

Bye.

What are you doing here?

I'm here for you.

Ben sent me.

He what?

Yeah, he's busy with a meeting.

So he sent me to handle

all the wedding stuff.

No, he didn't.

It's fine, really.

He's supposed to get

fitted for the suit.

If that's all

you're worried about,

- Yes.

- Then we're in luck.

Look, he doesn't do

anything for himself.

I buy all his suits for work.

It's gonna be fine, come on.

Oh, this doesn't make sense.

It'll be fine, trust me.

Please record your message.

Trisha, answer the phone,

I know you see me calling!

I don't understand why.

Just answer the phone!

Vanilla.

Vanilla, this is good.

See?

Wasn't that bad hanging

out with me, was it?

No, it wasn't that bad.

But, Carter, I

wish Ben was here.

He just doesn't

seem so interested.

No, no, he's interested.

He's just really busy with

his business, that's all.

Oh, okay.

Thanks for coming along.

Not a problem,

you're good company.

- Am I?

- Mm-hm.

Thank you.

All right, see you tomorrow.

See you tomorrow.

Oh, and tell Ben

don't be late tonight.

Got it.

Hey.

I'm here, sorry I'm late.

- So glad you could make it.

- Yeah.

I thought you were

gonna send Carter.

Can you put your phone away?

No, I'm sorry.

It's just some business

stuff, that's all.

I don't care what it is,

but put your phone away

at least until we have

dinner with my parents.

Okay, my bad, phone away.

Hey, I almost forgot.

What?

- You got a ring?

- Yeah.

Here.

It looks gorgeous.

Yeah, hey, you

wanna try it on now?

Well, maybe-

Gotta make it look

real, right? So...

I don't know.

We should wait 'till my

parents find out about us.

Okay.

You nervous?

Yeah, I'm nervous.

Don't be nervous.

Well, I'm nervous.

It's gonna be okay.

Let's just go over what we

went over and we'll be fine.

- Okay, all right.

- Come on.

Trisha here, with

this strange man.

Come on.

What's up, lil' man?

Everything good, mom?

Dinner will be ready shortly.

You have a beautiful

house, Misses Sinclair.

Thank you.

What'd you say your name was?

It's Ben, Benjamin.

What type of name is Benjamin?

So how'd you two meet?

Oh, we met in college at...

We dated for a little bit.

- Really?

- Uh-huh.

We ain't never heard

nothing about you.

Yeah, we both were

really into our studies,

but then came across

each other later,

and the rest is history.

Oh, where?

Oh, it doesn't matter where.

So Ben, what do you do?

I work at a

technology firm, coding.

Oh!

So you can hack into things?

'Cause I got this new computer.

JJ, he's not hacking into

anything for you tonight.

Well, that sounds interesting.

So you two said you

had something to tell us.

We're getting married.

You marrying this strange man?

He's not a strange man.

You getting married?

Yes, mom.

We're getting married.

- Oh, Jesus.

- Wait a minute.

You two said you just dated.

Yeah, well, we feel

like it's so much more.

Yeah, we do.

Mr. Benjamin.

Yes, sir.

- Let's talk.

- Yeah, yeah.

We need to have a real-Alone.

Sweetheart, please.

Yes.

Sweetie, can we just talk-

I already know what

you're gonna say, mom.

And what's that?

That I'm moving too fast

and we just started dating.

Right?

Are you sure you're

not rushing into this?

I'm sure.

This is what I want,

I wanna be married.

I know you do, but I

don't want you to regret it

if it's not with

the right person.

You know, it should

be with your soul mate.

Is Ben your soul mate?

All right, now, you

listen here, young lady.

Mom and I need to have

a serious talk with you.

It is unacceptable!

Son, son?

- JJ, just go.

- But mom,

- Go!

- You're not gonna yell at-

Nobody's yelling

at anyone, now go.

Just go, oh my God.

Your brother's just too much.

So Ben.

Yes, sir.

Technology, huh?

Yep.

You must be a

pretty smart fella.

Yeah, I guess you can say that.

So the smart fella would

usually come to the father first

and ask for the daughter's

hand in marriage.

You're right, sir.

That is usually how it goes,

but you have an

amazing daughter.

She's beautiful, bright,

ambitious, great personality.

I just couldn't wait any longer

to ask her to be my wife.

Well, this isn't how I

would've wanted it to go,

but if she's happy, I'm happy.

Thank you, sir.

Yes, I'm glad we

had a chance to talk.

Good to meet you.

Yeah, likewise, sir.

- Happy life.

- Yeah, it's the plan.

You two had a good chat?

We did.

I'll meet you by the car.

Okay.

It was nice meeting you.

You too.

Take care.

Likewise.

I want you guys to know

that I, don't worry about me.

I'm happy, okay?

We offer a lot of custom

linings, London fog,

and a lot of signature

threads that we only offer.

We would like you to check

out some of our ideas

and hope you like those.

Ooh, nice.

Ah, what do you

think about this one?

Which ones?

Doesn't matter, baby.

Which one?

Which ones do you like?

Well, it really doesn't matter.

But babe, we have to decide.

And I'm allergic to the flowers

you picked the other day.

We talked about the flowers

a million and one times.

You know what?

We'll decide later.

Thanks for coming.

All right, thanks, no problem.

You have a great day.

Yeah, you too.

Hey, hey!

Hey.

Back with the food.

Oh, I'm not hungry.

What's wrong?

Your boss.

He's just so

standoffish and rude,

and he's always on the phone.

Yeah, listen.

He is just really

busy with his company.

Yeah, you told me that, he's

always busy with the company.

Okay, look, I'm sorry that

I keep making excuses for him.

He's usually not

this standoffish and-

Rude!

He's just very rude.

Yes, yes.

But, trust me, he is a good guy.

Yeah, well, I wouldn't know.

So, these the flowers you chose?

Well, I chose them,

he didn't choose them.

Guess I gotta start

over from scratch.

It really

shouldn't be this hard.

Okay, well, how

you gonna help me?

All we have to do is

determine what you're like,

and then just choose

the appropriate bloom.

Oh yeah, it sounds

that easy, huh?

How do you know how I'm like?

Okay, you are, let's see,

adventurous.

So the amaryllis, huh?

Yeah, I like those.

See that? Don't

they look adventurous?

- Yeah.

- I like those.

And your heart is full of

innocent love and beauty,

so, the white orchid.

- Those are nice.

- Oh, oh,

and maybe the rose

bud, see that?

And you are mischievous.

So the petunia.

Okay.

But underneath it

all, you're just sweet,

so, the white carnation.

I like that.

Yeah.

Food is here.

Ooh, good, 'cause I am starving.

Ready, Carter?

Come on, man, let's go.

Yeah, all right.

So when do I get to

meet this mystery fiance?

He's at work.

How long you gonna keep

me waiting to meet him?

You'll meet him soon enough.

Are you guys gonna move in

together after you're married?

Well, right now we

like our own space,

but eventually we'll

move into one place.

Crazy, right?

Actually, no,

I've read about it.

A lot of people

are doing it now.

They're keeping their own space.

Some even have separate

homes, it's very new age.

Well, I'm meeting

him later for lunch,

so we'll talk about it.

All right, I'm about

to go run some errands.

I'll see you later.

- All right, bye.

- Bye.

Just hanging with

Carter is always so effortless.

It always feels so natural,

I'm always at ease with him.

There are no games being played.

With Carter, I feel safe,

I feel like I'm at home.

Trisha!

Why haven't you been answering

my texts or phone calls?

I can't do this now or ever.

Or ever? What are

you talking about?

We're done.

Yeah, but we always say that.

Well, this time I meant it.

And what makes this

time so different?

Trish, ready?

Yeah, ready.

So this is why.

No, Keith, it's

not what you think.

Who's this?

Carter, this is Keith.

Keith, this is Carter.

Keith, what's up, man?

We should go.

Let's go, bye, Keith.

Let me hear one more clink.

That's a good clink.

Spicy.

So have you heard from Ben?

Yeah, barely.

He texted me, barely

could get his words out.

Yeah, that's Ben.

So, tell me about him.

Who?

Who?

The guy.

Come on, your ex-boyfriend

from the cafe.

- Keith?

- Yeah, is that his name?

Okay.

Oh, yeah.

Hey, how did you

know he was my ex?

Come on, I

know an ex when I see one.

They got a certain ex look.

Yeah.

Plus, he looked like

he wanted to kill me.

He probably thought

we was together.

I know he saw the ring.

Oh, you think?

This is Carter with the,

Carter right here, yeah.

Yeah, I think you knew

what you was doing.

I did.

So tell me about him.

Tell you about him for what?

We just been together

for years back and forth,

I thought he was

the one, you know?

I'm sorry, we can be

difficult sometimes.

Yeah.

I just couldn't

get him to commit.

He always made me feel like I

was just asking for too much.

You know?

In my experience, you

should never be with someone

that makes you feel like

you're asking too much,

because the right person

wouldn't make you feel like that.

Really?

So the back and forth,

you know, I get it,

could be scary to put

yourself out there sometimes,

but believe me when I tell you.

- What?

- A woman like you,

a man should be sure about.

Oh, come on, really?

Girl, listen, if we were dating,

there would be no hesitation.

Oh, come on.

You are amazing.

Fine as hell.

Cool and funny.

What man wouldn't

wanna lock you down?

Apparently Keith.

Besides Keith.

Keith, he's got issues.

He does.

- I'm just saying.

- What?

Don't get hung up on one guy

who doesn't see what

another man would in you.

Okay.

Okay?

You wanna help me

pick out some dresses?

Let's pick out some dresses.

Can we finish that drink first?

Yeah.

I like your advice.

I'm serious.

- Serious as hell.

- This is good, this is good.

Good?

Come on already, I

need to see this dress.

I'm turned around and

I got my eyes closed.

Oh, I hear it.

No peeking.

Okay, I have not.

- All right.

- Oh, yes!

- You like it?

- Yes.

Let me see it in

all it splendor.

Can I have a first dance?

Can we get some with it?

Oh, oh, all right!

Is that how we

doing with the snap?

Are we snapping over here?

Girl, let me see it again.

Let me see with the spin.

That is nice.

And then you going for the dip.

Let me dip, let dip.

Oh, I ain't gonna drop you.

- Please don't drop me.

- I won't drop you.

Let me get one more spin though.

All right.

And then you drop me,

but don't drop me, dip me.

All right, you ready?

You ready? You ready?

And then dip.

Don't drop.

I said don't drop, I knew

you were gon' drop me.

Yeah.

Carter.

Carter, you gotta get up.

There's someone at the door.

Oh my God, I didn't

realize I fell asleep.

See you later.

Hey girl.

Don't oh, hey girl me,

like I didn't just see

some man running

outta your house.

Oh girl, that was just Carter.

- Carter?

- Yes.

I thought you were marrying Ben.

I am, he's just Ben's assistant.

He was just coming

over here to help me.

Hmm.

What? What's hmm?

Trust me, it's not

even like that.

You know what?

You're not gonna believe what

happened to me yesterday.

What happened yesterday?

I ran into Keith.

Where?

At the cafe with Carter.

And how was that?

And why are you and Ben's

assistant having lunch together

and waking up the morning

after together too?

I told you, he's helping

me with the wedding.

And Keith wanted to know

why I hadn't returned

his phone calls.

What did you do?

I didn't know what to do,

so I just introduced them.

Keith wasn't feeling it.

He really looked hurt.

Well, you moved on, sort of,

and, plus, you said you

were done with him, so.

I know.

And Carter and I talked when

we got back to my place,

and you know what, girl?

He made me feel so much better.

Hmm.

He's really a sweetheart.

Let me find out, you're

getting over your ex

by sleeping with your

fake husband's assistant.

Absolutely not, we just

hung out a few times.

I'm just saying you had

that look in your eyes.

What? No!

Well, hopefully

when it's all over,

you can leave Keith behind.

Exactly.

That's the plan.

Oh, more company.

Can you get that? I

gotta get dressed.

Oh, what's up, Steph?

Hey, JJ.

How you doing?

You know, I'm alright.

I could be doing so much

better if you gave me a chance.

A chance at what?

You know.

Ew!

Leave her alone.

You know, you're practically

my little brother, right?

See, look, why you gotta

go and ruin it like that?

But Steph?

Yeah.

So you know about

this Ben guy, right?

Yeah, why?

'Cause he's marrying my sister

and I don't know much about him.

What do you need

to know about him?

A lot!

'Cause what? Some guy

just comes outta nowhere

and now you're marrying him?

That's kind the weird, sis,

you know what I'm saying?

- Hey!

- I don't understand it.

Okay, I'll let you

two get caught up.

That was close.

I know, I wonder why he's asking

all these questions

all of a sudden.

I mean, I kind of get it.

This all happened out

nowhere, and it's fake.

My bad.

Keep your cool, keep it down.

You know how nosy he is.

He's just gonna

keep asking questions.

Carter?

Hey, I didn't know

if you had food,

so I brought you some, some.

Aw, how sweet!

Nice to meet you, I'm

Stephanie, the best friend.

Nice to meet you.

Look, I'm just gonna get going.

Bye, Carter.

Whoa, which one is this one?

- That's Carter.

- Who the hell is Carter?

This one?

Look, I'm her brother, JJ.

Look, sis, I don't

know what type

of freaky thing you

got going on over here,

but I'm telling mom and dad.

And thank you for the sandwich.

What's going on?

I think I'm just

in over my head.

I don't know what's going on.

I mean, I always wanted

the perfect wedding,

and Ben is making

that possible for me,

but I always loved Keith,

and I wanted to marry him,

but obviously he

doesn't feel the same.

Can I ask you a question?

Yeah, what?

How do you know

that you loved him?

- Who? Keith?

- Mm-hm.

I don't know, we just

been together for so long,

I'm just used to having

him around.

I mean, can I ask

you a question?

What about you?

Have you ever been in love?

Yeah.

Yeah.

I once read somewhere

that you are sleeping

'til you fall in love.

And at first, I didn't

know what that meant.

Then I met someone.

I couldn't sleep,

I couldn't eat,

I couldn't do anything,

but think of her.

At night, I dreamt of her.

When I woke up, all day I

couldn't wait to see her.

And when I did see her,

my heart turned over.

And I was filled with desire.

Hey.

Good morning.

Good morning.

You okay?

Carter, what happened

last night was a mistake.

My emotions were all mixed

up after seeing Keith,

and it should

never happen again.

Okay, wait.

Are you saying that

there's nothing between us?

No, I'm sorry.

Look, we should just focus

on planning the wedding.

Carter, you're a

really good friend,

but I can't handle

anything else.

I don't get it.

You spend all this time searching

for someone to love you,

and now that you have it,

you're just gonna

let him walk away.

Hello?

I've been trying to call you.

Why haven't you been

answering your phone?

I need to talk to you.

About what?

About us.

We've been over this,

I told you we're done.

I don't know going on

with you and that guy,

but I want you back.

What?

Yes, I want you back, babe.

I want us to be together,

like really together.

Since when?

Since always, I just

didn't know how to do that.

And all of a sudden you do?

Why, because I'm with

someone else now?

Who cares why?

All I know is that I can't

stop thinking about you

and how bad I messed up.

And I know I messed up

over and over again.

And I know I don't deserve

another chance, baby,

but I'm asking for it.

Keith!

Just let me come over

tonight, that's all I'm asking.

And after that, if you want,

I won't bother you again,

but please just

let me come over.

So let me get this straight.

You slept with

Carter last night?

Yes.

And you're marrying Ben?

Yes.

When Carter left, Keith

begged you to take him back?

Yes.

And he wants to meet

up with you tonight?

Yes.

Girl, what are you gonna do?

I don't know, that's

why I called you.

I don't know why.

I've never been in a

situation where I was stuck

between the guy I

want, the guy I chose

and the guy who chose me.

Okay.

Let me ask you this,

do you like Carter?

Like, actually like him?

I like the idea of him.

He's romantic and caring and,

you know, he really sees me.

But you've already

agreed to marry Ben

and signed the contract.

Right.

That part.

- Well.

- Well what.

At least it won't

be a real marriage,

and it'll only last a year.

Yeah.

I like the idea of a wedding,

but I just wish I can

get rid of all these men.

What about Keith?

You said you were done with him.

I was, I mean, I

am, I don't know.

He just sounded so sincere,

plus, we've been

together for so long.

Right, but haven't you been

down this road

with Keith before?

I mean, he's the whole

reason you're doing

all this fake wedding

stuff to begin with.

Yeah.

Well, Keith and I have a

lot of history together.

I guess I'm not ready to let

him go, like I thought I was.

Okay.

What?

Who would you rather be

with when the WiFi goes out?

What?

Just what I said.

Which one would you rather be

with when the WiFi goes out?

I don't know.

Well, it looks like you

have a decision to make.

History or a new beginning.

Hey, babe.

Hey.

Ah, thank you so

much for meeting me.

Don't thank me yet.

The flowers you got

me are beautiful.

Yeah, they're your favorite.

Yeah.

Look, I'ma just get right to it.

I know you engaged and all.

What?

Oh, right, right.

Yeah, I mean, and I don't

mean to be disrespectful,

and I'm probably too late, but-

- Well-

- Trisha.

What?

I love you.

You what?

I love you, and I always have,

I just didn't know how to say

it or even admit it to myself.

You know what?

That's all I ever wanted

was to know how you felt

and what I meant to you.

And I'm sorry that I

couldn't give that to you.

Where has this Keith been, huh?

I ordered your favorite.

I like him.

Who could this be?

Oh my God.

Trisha, just coming to see you.

Calling the phone, you wasn't

answering, and I got worried.

I guess there's no need to be.

Keith and I,

we were just talking.

Talking?

Looks more like a date to me.

No.

I'll call you later.

He's gonna call you later?

What's going on with that?

What are you doing here?

I told you I was

coming to see you.

Since when have you

wanted to see me, huh?

You haven't been

interested in anything.

Okay, I haven't been involved

in a lot, but who cares?

I'm paying for everything.

- That's not the point.

- No, that is the point.

I'm footing the bill to give

you the wedding of your dreams,

and you out here

dating other dudes?

I'm not dating other

dudes, that's just my ex,

and we have a lot of history.

I don't care, Trisha.

I don't want you

seeing him again.

You can't tell me what to do.

You know what?

I don't have time

for this, goodnight.

What?

Give me those!

Keith and I have history

and a connection

that I can't deny.

Even though I can't

stand him sometimes,

I really feel like he

wants to change for me.

Ben could actually give me my

dream wedding with no problem,

but I don't have any

real feelings for him.

It wouldn't be fair

for either of us,

but then there's Carter.

Carter could actually

be the perfect guy,

but I don't know if

he's the one for me.

I don't know if I have

real feelings for him.

Trisha, girl, where are you?

Answer the phone.

That's it, I'm calling JJ.

What, JJ?

Ay yo, Trish!

Yo?

Trish!

You know, I take out

your trash, right?

Stephanie called

ma looking for you.

Said she ain't heard

from you since yesterday.

So ma sent me over.

Yeah, I don't feel like

talking to anyone, JJ.

And what happened, sis?

- Nothing happened.

- Oh no, something happened,

'cause I see chocolate wrappers,

and you don't eat chocolate

unless you're either

nervous or stressed.

And since you have all of

these flowers everywhere,

I'm guessing you're stressed.

Everything is just so messed up.

All right, what happened, Trish?

Yeah, now I don't know

what to do about it.

Wow!

That's a lot.

Look, please don't

tell mom and dad,

I don't feel like talking

to 'em about this.

No, I ain't gonna

say nothing this time.

That's crazy, Trish!

Why you sound so old and wise?

Why you sound so old and wise?

'Cause I always been.

But...

You see what I'm

looking at, right?

Oh my gosh, you want

some chocolate, here.

Yeah, I want some

of that chocolate.

And it better be

the good kind, ooh.

Okay, I see what

you working with.

Now, what you

watching over there?

Thank you for coming over.

I wanted to talk to you

about something, Keith.

Yeah, I'm glad you called.

I need to talk to you too.

I was thinking about how-

Wait, let me go first.

Why?

What's this?

The house.

I can see that, but why

are you showing me this?

I closed on it today.

I wanted to tell you

about it at dinner,

but I didn't get a chance.

It's beautiful.

Yeah.

I'm serious this time.

You know I'm engaged, right?

Yeah, I know, but listen-

Wait a minute, wait.

Baby.

You really just

can't stay away, can you?

- Bro, who are you anyway?

- I'm her fiance.

I thought the other

guy was your fiance.

What other guy?

The one you went

on the date with.

Who you went on a with?

No, it was Carter

and it wasn't a date.

It sure looked

like a date to me.

Look, I did call

Keith over here,

but Ben, it's not

what you think.

Oh, it's not?

Then why am I here for?

Yeah, what is he here for?

Bro, why are you here?

I came to talk to my woman.

Look, guys, this is all

a messy situation, I know,

but Keith, you been on

and off with me for years,

and now you wanna be serious?

And then Ben, we

doing a fake marriage!

Oh, fake what?

A fake marriage, this

wedding ring isn't even real.

Look, and this is all

your fault, Keith.

My fault? How

is this my fault?

Because you've been playing

with my head for years now.

So I desperately signed a

contract for someone to marry me.

Just wanted to know what

it felt like to be wanted.

Stephanie was right.

This is crazy, all

of this is crazy.

Both of you get out!

Why do I have to get out?

I was here first.

Yeah, and I'm marrying

you, so why I gotta leave?

Because I need to think,

and I can't do it with

the both of you here.

I'll call you.

Okay, so which one of

us are you talking to?

I don't know!

Just go!

- Hey, hey, hey!

- Come on, man!

Mom, am I crazy?

No, no, of course not.

You're just very passionate,

and you want what you want.

You're just like

your father that way.

How did this all

get so messed up?

Because it's life,

sweetie, it's messy.

Why is it so messy?

Why can't it just be simple?

Now, what would

be the fun in that?

Yeah.

I'm surprised JJ

didn't tell you guys

all about what's going on.

Trust me, your father

tried to get it out of him,

but he wouldn't budge.

What do I do?

Well, the only thing

you can do now is

follow what's in your heart.

Yeah, but what if it's wrong?

There's no way of knowing that.

Just gotta trust yourself.

It's gonna be okay.

We're gonna get through it.

Come here.

It's gonna be all right, baby.

I hope so.

It will, trust me.

Listen to your mama.

Mama knows best.

Hey, darling.

Hey daddy.

Well, I talked with

your mother and brother.

Let me guess, you

think I'm crazy too?

No, nobody thinks you're crazy.

We wanna make sure

you're okay, no judgment.

I'm okay.

I just gotta figure

out what to do.

You probably won't

know until you do it.

I just want someone to love.

I know you do.

Nothing's wrong with that, okay?

Okay.

These apples are so good.

- You know what?

- What?

I'm surprised JJ

ain't come around.

You know, food out.

You know that boy can eat.

He can eat.

Thanks, dad.

Are you ready to do this?

I am.

Okay, I'll be out here waiting.

Hey, baby.

Hey.

You want a drink?

No, I'm okay.

No drink, that's not good.

Keith.

I have to let you go.

Yeah, I knew it wasn't good.

And Keith, I need

you to let me go.

So you chose him over me?

No, I'm not

choosing him over you.

I'm choosing myself.

Look, we've been doing

this long enough.

I can't keep doing this.

I know.

I'm sorry for all of this.

And I know you deserve more.

Take care of yourself.

It looked like it went well.

Yeah, it did go well.

I feel good about it.

I'm just glad

you're finally able

to close this

chapter of your life.

What?

You ready for this next step?

- Yeah, let's do it.

- Okay.

Let's go.

Not quite the same

as when I was seven,

but my day is finally here

and I've been waiting so long

that I don't think I

can wait another second.

Do you, Benjamin, take Trisha

to be your lawfully wedded wife?

I do.

Do you, Trisha, take Benjamin

to be your lawfully

wedded husband?

Ben.

You were saying.

I was only getting married

because I didn't wanna be alone

and I wanted a wedding.

My God.

And Ben's only getting married

because he wanted to inherit

his family's business,

but I can't do this.

All my life I wanted

the perfect wedding,

but now that I'm here,

this is not what I want.

This is not what I want.

I just want someone to love

and who's gonna love me.

I want someone to help me

pick out the perfect flowers

because he already knows

that I'm the perfect flower.

I want someone who

never second guesses

if he loves me, because

every moment of the day,

he already knows

that he loves me,

he tells me a million times.

I want a wedding where I

don't have to sign a contract.

I want someone that's gonna

want me around forever,

because he knows

that I'm his forever.

I'm sorry.

♪ Take my breath away

Carter!

Carter.

Someone once told me when

you truly love someone,

you don't let them walk away.

Carter, I wanna be with

you when the WiFi goes out.

What?

You're the one I wanna be

with when the WiFi goes out.

I don't know what that means.

It doesn't matter.

What matters is that I love you.

Well, I love you too,

but I'm no CEO, I can't

give you all this.

Just shut up and marry me.

It doesn't always turn
