Scene 1:
[ Snyder Home - Living Room ]

ROSE, LILY AND SIMON

>> Rose: Cal Stricklyn's place. Our grandfather's. For me?
>> Lily: Of course for you.
>> Rose: With or without the jukebox?
>> Lily: With the jukebox and antlers -- lots of antlers.
>> Rose: I always wanted to hang Christmas ornaments from those antlers.
>> Lily: So will you take it?
>> Rose: I would love to! Oh, thank you! Thank you so much! Paul is going to be thrilled!
>> Lily: Paul being the reason for the girly shoes and the new outfit.
>> Rose: Of course, of course. You know me too well. And of course, I'm late as usual. I'd better fly.
>> Lily: I'm so glad things are going well between you two.
>> Rose: Better than ever.
[ Doorbell rings ]
>> Lily: Holden probably forgot something.
>> Rose: Oh, Simon.
>> Lily: Simon? Hi.
>> Simon: Hi. Oh, I'm sorry. I hope I'm not interrupting anything.
>> Rose: Oh, no. I was just on my way out. I'm thinking about that job for you, too, don't worry. Don't worry. Thinking about it.
>> Simon: Thank you.
>> Rose: All right. Ciao.
>> Simon: Bye.
>> Lily: Hey. Can I get you a cup of coffee or -- ?
>> Simon: No, no, no, no. I'm fine, thanks. Can I come in?
>> Lily: Sure. Yeah. Everything all right?
>> Simon: Yes and no. You see, Katie --
>> Lily: What, did she do something?
>> Simon: No, no, no. She's done nothing, actually. Everything's great. I'm just having a little trouble planning this dream wedding of hers.
>> Lily: Oh, you two are gonna get married again?
>> Simon: Yeah. You didn't -- ?
>> Lily: No. Great.
>> Simon: Yeah. We just kind of -- I know it seems crazy. I spent the whole last year trying to convince her that our last wedding was a mistake. Look, I need to go all out. I want to show her how much she means to me.
>> Lily: Oh, wow. Wow, that's -- that's sweet. Do you have any idea what Katie has planned for this dream wedding? You know, maybe you two should talk about it.
>> Simon: No, no. There's no -- no, me and Katie are not sitting down together. I don't want her involved. I want this to be a complete surprise, which is kind of why I'm here. I need your help.
>> Simon: Look, I know there's a lot of reasons to say no to a guy who's asking you for help getting married to another woman, especially when that other woman played such a unique part of our history, so if you don't --
>> Lily: I'd love to do it.
>> Simon: You would?
>> Lily: Absolutely.
>> Simon: Okay. Wow. That was easier than I expected.
>> Lily: Knowing Katie, I would say that the ceremony would be the most typical part, so let's see what you have already.
>> Simon: First, before you laugh, this is not mine.
>> Lily: You're kidding? Wow. Pink.
>> Simon: This is Katie's plans for her dream wedding back in the illustrious '80S.
>> Lily: Oh! Oh, my.
>> Simon: Yes, I know.
>> Lily: For the processional, "Like a Virgin." How subtle of her.
>> Simon: I know. Well, obviously, a few things have changed since then, especially since her time at the spiritual retreat.
>> Lily: I'm sorry. What did you just say?
>> Simon: Please, don't ask.
>> Lily: Okay.
>> Simon: Okay, I just fear if Katie has a part in planning this ceremony, then we're going to have sitar playing and breaks for yoga and meditation, and the bridesmaids will be carrying incense and playing tambourines.
>> Lily: You really, finally understand your wife.
>> Simon: Speaking of bridesmaids, do you know any friends of Katie's? Has she got any?
>> Lily: I'm sorry. Friends -- no, I don't know any friends.
[ Holden and Luke return ]
>> Simon: Hey, Luke, buddy. How are you, man? Long time no see. Wow, look at you. You are growing up like nobody's business.
>> Holden: Yeah, tell me about it. What's up, Simon?
>> Simon: Oh, I'm just here because your wife actually is coming to my rescue.
>> Luke: You are?
>> Lily: Yes. I'm going to help Simon plan his wedding.

Scene 2:
[ Snyder Home ]

HOLDEN, LILY AND SIMON

>> Holden: Hey.
>> Lily: What?
>> Holden: You sure you wanna get involved in this wedding business?
>> Lily: Oh, sure. Yeah, it's the least that I could do.
>> Holden: Yeah, for Simon. But with Katie, everything she gets involved in leads to a disaster.
>> Lily: I know. And I'll keep that in mind. Okay? Don't worry. I love you.
>> Holden: I love you.
>> Lily: Okay, have fun.
>> Holden: Okay, we'll see you later. Come on, buddy.
>> Lily: [ walks back into the living room where Simon is waiting ] Now, where were we?
>> Simon: Lily, look, if this is gonna cause any friction between you and Holden and your family --
>> Lily: No, no, no. No. Please, no, I wouldn't even have my family if it wasn't for you and what you did for us in Malta. Please, no, come on. It's the least that I could do. And if Katie wants a wedding, a wedding she shall have.
>> Simon: Great, and I -- you know I thought this folder would help. But, you know, it seems that the guy's done every ugly job under the sun. You know, the Jack-of-all-trades has finally bitten off more than he can chew.
>> Lily: Oh, I don't know about that. Since when do you ever give up? The Simon that I know never says die. And I won't let you this time.

Scene 3:
[ Snyder Home ]

SIMON AND LILY

[ Simon sighs ]
>> Lily: You know what Katie really wants, Simon?
>> Simon: 90% of the time, I haven't got a clue.
>> Lily: No, she wants you. All this stuff about bridesmaids standing there in a row -- it has nothing to do with that. What she wants is the man of her dreams to stand up in front of the world to declare his undying love.
>> Simon: Yeah? Well, I can do that.
>> Lily: Bridesmaids, flowers, music -- that's just details.
>> Simon: Yeah, but Katie has spent -- she's spent years planning and dreaming this.
>> Lily: We all do that.
>> Simon: Look at this, look.
>> Lily: We all do it. But what we really want is the man that we love to give us the world.
>> Simon: Yeah? Well, she's got that.
>> Lily: What else does she need?
>> Simon: Oh, come on. We're talking about Katie here.
>> Lily: Yeah, I know. So why don't you sit down with her and find out what she can't live without?
>> Simon: Okay.
>> Lily: And you know what? Remember this is your wedding, too. Right?
>> Simon: Yeah.
>> Lily: Anything that you want in particular?
>> Simon: Yeah. Yeah. I want Katie's friends and family to see her the way I see her. To see the Katie that I fell in love with.

[ The Lakeview - Craig's Suite ]
>> Messenger: Hi. I got a delivery here for Ms. Tenney for B.R.O. Designs?
>> Katie: Why is she getting stuff delivered here?
>> Messenger: I couldn't tell you, Miss.
>> Katie: Oh, well, of course. That's how the day's going.
>> Messenger: If you could just sign right here --
>> Katie: Okay.
>> Messenger: All right.
[ Phone rings ]
>> Katie: Oh! Hello?
>> Simon: Hey, baby, it's your husband.
>> Katie: I love when you say that.
>> Simon: Hey, you feel like having a little lunch together?
>> Katie: I'd love to. Why?
>> Simon: I don't know. Because I'm starving. And I -- I wanna ask you something.
>> Katie: I do.
>> Simon: What was that?
>> Katie: I'll see you soon. Bye. This is it. This is it. Ahh, today's my wedding day! Simon has everything planned. Oh, what am I gonna wear? I want a dress. I want a real dress. Oh, no, he didn't. That sneaky, little devil. "Delivery for Carly Tenney." Yeah, right! Oh, it's beautiful. I'm a bride! Oh, I'm a real bride!
