Short filmTranscript
00:00:00It's time for bridal boot camp.
00:00:05Brooke, it's so early.
00:00:07Come on.
00:00:09Okay, just give me a sec, okay?
00:00:11Let's go.
00:00:13Come on, come on, come on.
00:00:15So as soon as James finishes the Clayton case, we're going to leave for our honeymoon.
00:00:20I can't believe I let you talk me into this.
00:00:22I didn't think we'd have to start so early.
00:00:24I was at a wedding till three in the morning.
00:00:26Oh my God, speaking of weddings, you're not going to believe what happened.
00:00:28What?
00:00:29Wendy and Kevin got engaged.
00:00:31When?
00:00:32Yesterday, apparently.
00:00:34I mean, he took her for this walk in the woods and proposed next to an old stone church.
00:00:38I mean, how cute is that?
00:00:40It's very cute, but I just can't help but think I'm now the only one in our graduating class who's not married.
00:00:46What?
00:00:47Am I doing something wrong?
00:00:50I don't think you're doing anything wrong.
00:00:52I just think that you tend to pick these guys that are not looking to settle down.
00:00:56Okay, but I don't know that when I meet them.
00:00:58Well, there are always red flags.
00:01:00Like, you know a guy doesn't want to be serious if he doesn't have a real job.
00:01:03Or if he still lives at home with his parents.
00:01:05Okay, what's a real job?
00:01:07One that doesn't involve bartending, playing guitar, or being a wedding photographer.
00:01:11That's funny.
00:01:12Look, you know a guy is ready for a commitment if he brings up subjects like marriage and children.
00:01:18Or, you know, is honest and open about his day-to-day activities.
00:01:21And gives you jewelry.
00:01:23He will focus his entire attention on you.
00:01:26Period.
00:01:27No excuses.
00:01:49Rose's turn.
00:01:50Hi, honey.
00:01:51Hey, Nana.
00:01:52I'm here at the clinic.
00:01:55Get well, okay.
00:01:57But I'll be back soon.
00:01:59So, how's it going there?
00:02:01Great, just finishing up the Chase Kelly wedding.
00:02:03Fantastic.
00:02:05So, how'd your date go last night?
00:02:08Nana, it wasn't a date.
00:02:10We just went for coffee.
00:02:11And?
00:02:12And, you know, he was nice.
00:02:14But there wasn't really any spark.
00:02:16Well, honey, now you've got to give him another chance.
00:02:18Because he's a family man.
00:02:20He's solid, dependable.
00:02:22And he gives a lot of time doing volunteer charity work.
00:02:25Nana, he's a divorced car salesman.
00:02:28And he wouldn't even pay for my coffee.
00:02:30Oh.
00:02:31Well, and anyway, I told you.
00:02:33No more fix-ups.
00:02:34They never work.
00:02:36Just got to give it time, darling.
00:02:38I want to find someone for you.
00:02:39No, you don't need to find anyone for me, okay?
00:02:42Bye-bye, darling.
00:02:43Bye.
00:02:46No, no problem.
00:02:48These are for Mrs. Sullivan?
00:02:50Those are beautiful.
00:02:52Syringa vulgaris, uh,
00:02:55Eustoma grandiflorum, and
00:02:57Pionia lactiflora.
00:03:00Oh.
00:03:01You know their Latin names?
00:03:03I was a botany major before I went to med school.
00:03:06I'm Dr. Cooper.
00:03:08Rose Germ.
00:03:10It's a pleasure.
00:03:11For me, too, Rose.
00:03:13So, uh, so tell me, doctor.
00:03:17How long have you and your wife been living here in Willowfield?
00:03:20No, I'm not married.
00:03:23Oh.
00:03:25Hmm.
00:03:26I-I tell you that he is the one.
00:03:29He's a doctor.
00:03:30He's charming.
00:03:32He knows all about flowers.
00:03:34And he wants to meet me.
00:03:35No, he doesn't want to meet me.
00:03:37He was just being polite.
00:03:38No, I showed him your picture, and he was not being polite.
00:03:41He thinks you're gorgeous.
00:03:42Stop trying to marry me off.
00:03:44But you are going to make such a beautiful bride.
00:03:46Your mother would agree.
00:03:48I know you're trying to help, Nana.
00:03:50I just don't want you to miss out on life's greatest joy.
00:03:53As the saying goes, there's one happiness.
00:03:56To love and to be loved.
00:03:58Yes, but love isn't like buying a car or getting an apartment.
00:04:01No, it's not like that.
00:04:03It's-it's like flower arranging.
00:04:06Sometimes you just know which flowers go together.
00:04:09Compliment each other.
00:04:11Nana, I'm going to meet someone.
00:04:13The best place to meet someone is at a wedding,
00:04:15and no one does more weddings than we do.
00:04:27You have got to start pre-screening guys before you date them.
00:04:30Okay, when you first meet a guy, evaluate him for red flags.
00:04:33And if he has more than two, don't go on the first date with him.
00:04:36You know, just nip it in the bud.
00:04:38In the bud.
00:04:39Yeah, that way you're not wasting valuable time
00:04:41on a guy who doesn't even want to get married in the first place.
00:04:44What are you girls talking about?
00:04:46Some article that Brooke read in a magazine.
00:04:49It doesn't sound very romantic to me.
00:04:51Exactly my point, Evangeline.
00:04:53You girls.
00:04:55Okay, you just need to start thinking of dating as more like a job interview.
00:04:59Okay, and less like some sort of-
00:05:01Falling in love?
00:05:02No.
00:05:04I'm just saying, try to meet someone who wants the same thing that you want.
00:05:08That's all.
00:05:09I don't even know what I want.
00:05:10You know exactly what you want.
00:05:12A big, white, beautiful wedding with a Cinderella dress
00:05:16and enough flowers to make the rose parade look like our 8th grade graduation.
00:05:20I mean, I do so many weddings.
00:05:22I always thought I would just elope.
00:05:23You don't want to elope.
00:05:25You want to meet your prince charming, get married,
00:05:27and most importantly, you want me to be the maid of honor.
00:05:30You promised me.
00:05:32Of course.
00:05:39You can stay with me now. You'll be fine.
00:05:41Okay.
00:05:45Brooke, you look so amazing.
00:05:47Oh, thank you, Tabitha.
00:05:49Thank you.
00:05:50You're welcome.
00:05:51You look incredible. Are you so excited?
00:05:53I am. I'm really excited.
00:05:55I mean, this is just like a dream come true.
00:05:58I'm so happy.
00:06:00So, Laura, could you make my wedding just as magical as this one?
00:06:03Absolutely.
00:06:05Well, not just as magical. Come on.
00:06:07Thank you.
00:06:09Okay, can I just see that ring one more time?
00:06:11Yes, please.
00:06:12Because it is so fabulous.
00:06:13I mean, if you must.
00:06:14Wow.
00:06:16That's amazing. You must have been so surprised.
00:06:18Yeah, I was.
00:06:20I was starting to think I was going to get old by myself
00:06:22waiting for my prince who wouldn't come, you know what I mean?
00:06:28James, you may now place the ring on Brooke's finger.
00:06:38Brooke, you may now place the ring on James' finger.
00:06:51And I now pronounce you husband and wife.
00:06:54I now pronounce you husband and wife.
00:07:06You know those saws they sell that have paintings on them?
00:07:08You know, like Cabin in the Woods, Bears by a River, that kind of thing?
00:07:11Mm-hmm.
00:07:12That's what I do.
00:07:13Oh.
00:07:14Paint saws.
00:07:15Wow. That's so interesting.
00:07:17I love kids, which is a good thing,
00:07:19because I've been crashing with my sister and her four kids for a while.
00:07:22I'm trying to save up for a new motorcycle.
00:07:25Awesome.
00:07:27Yeah, sure, being an investment banker is tough,
00:07:30but, you know, that's why I got the second home by the lake.
00:07:33Get away from all the stress.
00:07:35Wow, that sounds lovely.
00:07:39Okay, are you guys ready for the bouquet toss?
00:07:41Are you guys ready for the bouquet toss?
00:07:55Sorry, I, she was just a little bit faster than I was.
00:07:58I almost, I almost had it.
00:08:00So close.
00:08:03Big morning, sweetie.
00:08:05So you didn't meet anybody at Brooke's wedding, huh?
00:08:11Well, you look a lot more nice, young man, in Willowfield.
00:08:15Okay, Nana, maybe we could just talk about something else this morning,
00:08:18like current events or the weather.
00:08:21Oh, what about that doctor who wanted to meet you?
00:08:24Maybe we could give him a call, see if he wants to get together?
00:08:27I will meet someone when the time is right.
00:08:30The time is now.
00:08:32Maybe you could take a vacation to one of those island resorts
00:08:35with all those single men?
00:08:37Where people smell like coconut oil and desperation?
00:08:40No, thank you.
00:08:41The Internet.
00:08:42I know at least five happily married couples who met online.
00:08:45No, no way.
00:08:47Nana, this is not how the great loves met.
00:08:50Antony and Cleopatra were not set up on a blind date,
00:08:53and Romeo and Julia didn't go on some silly singles cruise together.
00:08:57No, they met each other, and they knew this is the person
00:09:00they were going to spend the rest of their lives with.
00:09:03Sweetie, you are overlooking the fact that these are not real people.
00:09:06They're characters in a book.
00:09:08No. Maybe I read too many books.
00:09:11Maybe so. Maybe so.
00:09:14Ah.
00:09:34Yes, absolutely, we will have the flowers there by noon as promised.
00:09:38Okay, thank you. I'm so excited.
00:09:41Your wedding is going to be fantastic.
00:09:43Okay, we will see you on Saturday. Bye-bye.
00:09:46Good morning. How can I help you?
00:09:48By chance, do you have a grandmother named Rose?
00:09:51Yes, I do.
00:09:53You're even more beautiful in person.
00:09:55By the way, I'm Dr. Cooper.
00:09:57Evan.
00:09:58Laurel. Haverford.
00:10:00She promised me her granddaughter would be calling me.
00:10:03I'm sorry about that.
00:10:05My grandma's a little obsessed with finding me a man.
00:10:08Well, maybe she has.
00:10:14I just knew you two would hit it off. I just knew it.
00:10:18He was lovely. You were right.
00:10:21The three favorite words in the English language next to I love you.
00:10:26Okay, Nana, don't get too excited, though.
00:10:28He said he would call and that maybe we'd go for coffee.
00:10:31Besides, I need to focus on the wedding.
00:10:33Yeah, I got it. Thanks.
00:10:35Yeah, I think I got it.
00:10:39We're all sad to have no Ikea.
00:10:41Great. Sarah needs you.
00:10:43Got it.
00:10:45Laurel, always making sure that everyone else's wedding is unforgettably beautiful.
00:10:50Well, I love what I do.
00:10:52Maybe real happiness will come soon,
00:10:54and you'll be standing right there exchanging wedding vows with that special someone.
00:10:58Well, I have to find him first, Pastor.
00:11:01Maybe he'll find you.
00:11:09Hey, guys.
00:11:11So, uh, do you happen to know where the best man is?
00:11:14He's over there.
00:11:16Great. Thank you.
00:11:24Excuse me. Are you the best man?
00:11:29Which brings us to the question, how does a love story begin?
00:11:33Now, in the case of the bride and groom, we have conflicting relationships.
00:11:37In the case of the groom, we have conflicting reports.
00:11:39According to him, it was love at first sight.
00:11:42He looked up, and there she was.
00:11:44The girl he knew he would marry.
00:11:47Naturally, she was seeing someone else.
00:11:49She didn't even remember sitting next to him at Peter's barbecue,
00:11:51even though he managed to somehow set himself on fire by passing too close to a tiki tour.
00:11:56Oh, no.
00:11:58It's the wedding toast.
00:12:00It's supposed to be funny, right? Or should I be more serious?
00:12:02No, I think you should start off funny and end on a serious note.
00:12:06That's exactly what I was thinking.
00:12:10So, what happened to your friend? The one with the tiki torches?
00:12:14Oh, he was fine. I threw my margarita on him.
00:12:17You know, I think it would be funnier if it was a pina colada.
00:12:20Oh, a pina colada. That's good.
00:12:23I should have you edit my next book.
00:12:25You're a writer?
00:12:26Yeah. You wouldn't have heard of me, though.
00:12:29Stephen Banks.
00:12:30Laurel Haverford.
00:12:32Pleasure.
00:12:34I got your boutonniere.
00:12:36Ah, yeah.
00:12:38God, I'm terrible at those things.
00:12:40Always end up pricking my fingers.
00:12:42I don't suppose you could...
00:12:43Sure.
00:12:44Thanks.
00:12:47You have a lovely town here.
00:12:49Lakes, the hills. Reminds me of the English countryside.
00:12:53You're not from here?
00:12:54No, no. I'm from Cedarbrook.
00:12:56Uh, no. Are you okay?
00:12:58Yeah, yeah. I'm fine. I just want to share.
00:13:01So, are you really Stephanie or Bill?
00:13:04Neither. I'm just the flower girl.
00:13:07Never say you're just anything.
00:13:09I mean, these aren't just flowers.
00:13:11It's the works of art.
00:13:13Thanks.
00:13:16Uh, I better get back to work. It was great meeting you.
00:13:19You, too.
00:13:22Maybe we can see each other later?
00:13:24Okay.
00:13:27Pretty girl.
00:13:29Should I be jealous?
00:13:32I don't know. Should you?
00:13:35You are impossible.
00:13:38She didn't even remember sitting next to him at Peter's barbecue.
00:13:41Even though he managed to actually set himself on fire by passing too close to a teak.
00:13:50Luckily, I threw my pina colada on him. He was fine.
00:13:54But seriously, Bill, Stephanie, you're going to have a wonderful life together.
00:13:59Everybody, let's stand up. Have a toast to the happy couple.
00:14:03To Bill and Stephanie.
00:14:24Okay, Tom. Okay, Tom.
00:14:41Go get him!
00:14:53Come on.
00:15:11Where am I?
00:15:13The honeymoon suite.
00:15:18I ordered champagne, or would you prefer a pina colada?
00:15:21Very funny.
00:15:23Seriously, though, are you okay? You hit your head.
00:15:25Yeah, I just, um...
00:15:27I didn't really eat very much today, so I think I have low blood sugar.
00:15:30Well, in that case, you're definitely going to want one of these.
00:15:34Oh. No.
00:15:36No?
00:15:38You know I've been looking for you all evening.
00:15:41You have?
00:15:43Please, tell me you're okay. You're not going to sue us, are you?
00:15:46Of course not. No, no, it was an accident.
00:15:49I'm so sorry that I'm in your room with your bouquet.
00:15:54Keep it. That bouquet was meant for you.
00:15:57Thanks.
00:16:01I'm going to get back to work.
00:16:03Let me help you down the stairs.
00:16:05Oh, no. I'm fine.
00:16:07Are you sure?
00:16:09Yes. Thank you.
00:16:12Please, Laurel.
00:16:15Wait.
00:16:17The night is still young.
00:16:20May I have this dance?
00:16:22Here?
00:16:24Well, the song will be over by the time we get to the actual dance floor, so why not?
00:16:27Um, I'm not much of a dancer.
00:16:30It's okay. You can fake it pretty good.
00:16:36This is better than faking it.
00:16:39This is better than faking it. Where did you learn how to dance?
00:16:42Argentina.
00:16:44It's research for a book.
00:17:10I should go.
00:17:12Of course.
00:17:18It was really nice meeting you, Laurel.
00:17:21You too.
00:17:23Hope we can see each other again.
00:17:40Oh!
00:17:42I mean, it was amazing.
00:17:44It was amazing. We had this connection, you know?
00:17:48And the way he held me when we danced.
00:17:51I know this sounds crazy, but I think he could be the one.
00:17:56The one?
00:17:58But I thought you said that he was just in town for the wedding, right?
00:18:01So?
00:18:03Well, come on. I mean, he's just in town for the wedding.
00:18:06He's, what, some freelancer who doesn't even have a real job?
00:18:10How many red flags do you need?
00:18:12I know, but we really clicked. Doesn't that count for something?
00:18:15He didn't even ask for your phone number, right?
00:18:17Good. He knows where I work. He could always just stop by.
00:18:20I don't think he's going to do that.
00:18:23I mean, I finally have a romantic encounter with a guy, Brooke,
00:18:26and you're making it like you're not happy for me.
00:18:29No. I'm just looking out for you.
00:18:36I love you.
00:19:06Thank you.
00:19:25No new messages.
00:19:36No new messages.
00:20:01Here are your flowers.
00:20:03Thank you, Laurel.
00:20:06You're welcome.
00:20:20Good morning. How can I help you?
00:20:22Are you Laurel?
00:20:24I am. I'm Kristen Somerset.
00:20:26Kristen. Of course.
00:20:28It's going to be a very big event, and flowers are an integral part of my vision.
00:20:32Okay, now what kind of wedding are you thinking?
00:20:34Elegant? Evening?
00:20:36Big. Big and Scottish.
00:20:38We're having a big Highland wedding.
00:20:40Kilts, bagpipes, haggis, thistles, the works.
00:20:42So you're Scottish?
00:20:44Nah, I just thought it'd be cool to have a Scottish wedding.
00:20:46But, you know, with some American-style bells and whistles.
00:20:50I brought my inspiration board with me.
00:20:52You know, to get things rolling.
00:20:54You have an inspiration board?
00:20:56Yes. This will give you a sense of what I want.
00:20:59You get the idea.
00:21:01I'm wearing a cream gown with a 20-foot train and a veil,
00:21:04so I'm going to need a very impressive bouquet.
00:21:07Plus, 14 bridesmaid bouquets, 7 flower girl baskets,
00:21:12a tossing bouquet, 15 boutonnieres, 36 table arrangements,
00:21:1612 door pieces, a cake topper, and some potpourri for the bathrooms.
00:21:20Wow, you have really thought this out, Kristen.
00:21:23I have been planning my wedding since I was 5.
00:21:26Okay, I'll call you.
00:21:28I am off to the Bahamas for a few days.
00:21:32I need to work on my tan.
00:21:34Of course.
00:21:35I feel really good about this.
00:21:36Me too.
00:21:37Later.
00:21:38Okay, bye.
00:21:40Thank you.
00:21:44Thank you for waiting.
00:21:45No problem.
00:21:47It's nice to see you.
00:21:49You too.
00:21:50Interesting customers you get here.
00:21:52Yeah.
00:21:53Was that what is known as a bridezilla?
00:21:55Yes, they are extremely dangerous
00:21:57and only to be handled by trained professionals.
00:22:00Do you have time to get that coffee we talked about?
00:22:03Yeah, sure.
00:22:05Let me just grab my purse.
00:22:09So my grandma tells me you know a lot about plants.
00:22:12I thought it would be interesting to study plants
00:22:16so that I could research and identify natural compounds
00:22:20that could be used in medicines.
00:22:22I mean, there are literally thousands of plants
00:22:24in every mill parts of the world
00:22:25that have yet to be evaluated for their medicinal potential,
00:22:28especially in the South American rainforest.
00:22:30Am I talking too much?
00:22:32No, not at all.
00:22:34I think it's amazing that you know all of this.
00:22:37So how did you get into flowers?
00:22:40Well, my grandma's been in the business for over 40 years,
00:22:43so I just kind of picked it up from her.
00:22:46When I was little, that flower shop
00:22:48was pretty much the only place I wanted to be.
00:22:51It was like this magic place full of flowers and happiness.
00:22:55Sounds like you had a wonderful childhood.
00:22:57Mostly.
00:22:59My parents died when I was younger,
00:23:01so my grandmother raised me.
00:23:04Losing a parent is difficult at any age.
00:23:10So tell me, what is it like a day in the life of a florist?
00:23:14Busy.
00:23:16Most days I'm up at 5
00:23:18when I go into the city to go to the flower markets.
00:23:21Then I come back to the shop, process the flowers,
00:23:24set everything up, fluffing everything to make it look pretty.
00:23:27And then the phone starts ringing.
00:23:30And by 10, I'm normally on my fifth cup of coffee.
00:23:33I know what you mean.
00:23:35Oh, I'm talking too much. I'm sorry.
00:23:38No, no, not at all.
00:23:44You truly do look stunning tonight.
00:23:47Thank you.
00:23:51So did you always know you wanted to be a doctor?
00:23:54Yes.
00:23:56As soon as I could talk, I asked my parents for a toy doctor set.
00:24:01I wore one of my dad's old white shirts as a lab coat.
00:24:04When we had company, I'd go around testing everyone's reflexes
00:24:08and telling them to say, ah.
00:24:10That's really cute.
00:24:12I even started taking pre-med classes while I was still in high school.
00:24:15Wow, your mom must be really proud of you.
00:24:17Uh, you know, my mother, uh,
00:24:21always said that she would be proud of me
00:24:23no matter what I wanted to do with my life.
00:24:26Wow, you two must be really close.
00:24:28Absolutely.
00:24:30Uh, and she can't wait to meet you.
00:24:34You told your mother about me?
00:24:36Sure.
00:24:38Talked to her almost every day.
00:24:40I couldn't exactly leave out the fact
00:24:42that I met a beautiful woman
00:24:45that I can't stop thinking about.
00:24:52Cheers.
00:25:01You were right.
00:25:03I mean, he's so intellectual and smart.
00:25:06And he really lets me know what he wants out of life.
00:25:09Really?
00:25:10He's subtle about it, but he makes it clear
00:25:12that he wants a serious relationship
00:25:14and he won't be wasting my time.
00:25:16Oh, I knew it. I knew it.
00:25:18He is definitely a keeper.
00:25:20I mean, do you think that he's someone
00:25:22that you could really be serious about?
00:25:24Yeah, I do.
00:25:26I mean, I've never met someone
00:25:28who's made me feel so secure and comfortable.
00:25:32He even told his mother about me.
00:25:35Oh, my goodness.
00:25:37He must really be smitten.
00:25:39Did you kiss?
00:25:40Nana!
00:25:41What did you...?
00:25:42Yeah.
00:25:44But you know when you first kiss someone
00:25:47and you have this flash-forward fantasy
00:25:50of how your lives are gonna be?
00:25:52You know, you could see your wedding
00:25:54and your honeymoon and two adorable babies?
00:25:56Yes.
00:25:58It didn't happen.
00:26:00Oh, well, honey,
00:26:02you know, love isn't just like some magical force
00:26:05that overwhelms you.
00:26:07Sometimes it just takes time for you to realize
00:26:10that the right man for you
00:26:12is someone you never expected.
00:26:19Does that make sense to you, darling?
00:26:22Oh, Gavin. Oh, how nice.
00:26:25Hello, Rose. Hello, Laurel.
00:26:27Hello, Gavin.
00:26:28I figured it was time for a coffee break,
00:26:30so I brought you one light and sweet.
00:26:32Exactly. Thank you so much.
00:26:34Oh, you're welcome.
00:26:35I'm sorry. Laurel, I could go get you one.
00:26:38No need, Gavin. Let me grab your order.
00:26:40So, how are your day lilies doing?
00:26:43As I call them, deer candy.
00:26:45They're just fine.
00:26:47I took your advice.
00:26:49I spread the whole thing with hot pepper and soap water,
00:26:52and so far, so good.
00:26:54The deer are gone.
00:26:56My hands are clean.
00:26:58My homemade guacamole's got an extra kick to it.
00:27:02Now, if I could just do something
00:27:04about the birds and the blueberries, I'd be fine.
00:27:07The best thing to do is just pick them all and make a pie.
00:27:11Unfortunately, Jessica was a pie maker in the family.
00:27:15Here you are, Gavin.
00:27:17Should I just put it on your tab?
00:27:19Yes, thank you.
00:27:21Thank you for the coffee.
00:27:23You're welcome.
00:27:25Well, I won't take up any more of your time.
00:27:29Goodbye.
00:27:31Bye-bye, Gavin.
00:27:33Have a good day.
00:27:37Bye.
00:27:41That is such a sweet man.
00:27:43I can't believe that he still puts fresh roses
00:27:46on his wife's grave every week after all these years.
00:27:49He really is sweet.
00:27:51You know, we should find someone for him.
00:27:53It's a shame that such a wonderful man is still single,
00:27:56but I really can't think of anybody that would be right for him.
00:28:22Looking for a book to read?
00:28:24Stephen. Hi.
00:28:27Uh, no, I'm just browsing.
00:28:30How about this one?
00:28:33Oh, uh, handsome rogues.
00:28:36Tempestuous heroines.
00:28:38Pulse-pounding love season.
00:28:40This is pretty good stuff.
00:28:42Yeah, that's not really my thing.
00:28:44You don't like romance novels?
00:28:46Um, I just, I don't find them very believable, that's all.
00:28:49I like to stick to more serious fiction.
00:28:52What are you doing here anyway?
00:28:54Well, I find the used book table is an excellent place to meet beautiful women.
00:29:01So I thought you were just in town for the wedding.
00:29:04Yeah, well, I needed a quiet place to get some writing done,
00:29:08so I figured I'd stick around for a bit longer.
00:29:10What are you writing?
00:29:12Oh, no, no, I never talk about my work until I'm done.
00:29:14Why not?
00:29:16Writing's a very private process.
00:29:19Oh, I see.
00:29:21So beer's still on page one?
00:29:24Maybe.
00:29:29I rented a house up here to finish my latest novel,
00:29:32and it's actually just up the road here.
00:29:34I'd love to show you if you've got the time.
00:29:36Okay.
00:29:39Here we are.
00:29:41You know, this is Dr. Rubin's old estate.
00:29:44I used to play here with his grandchildren.
00:29:46Isn't it a little large for you?
00:29:48Well, it's always good to have room for guests.
00:29:51I remember this room.
00:29:53He has got a great book collection, doesn't he?
00:29:55Yeah, I'm so glad he left it all.
00:29:58Jane Austen, Persuasion.
00:30:00Have you read it?
00:30:01I have, actually.
00:30:03What about Rebecca?
00:30:06Now that is one of my all-time favorites. You read this?
00:30:08No. What's it about?
00:30:10It's about a woman who falls in love with a man who has a mysterious secret.
00:30:14I can't believe you've read so many books about women.
00:30:16I mean, most guys are just interested in spy novels and science fiction.
00:30:20They don't know what they're missing.
00:30:21I think women are far more interesting characters than men.
00:30:23I mean, men always do things for the obvious reasons.
00:30:25Fame, money, power.
00:30:28But no one, not even Tolstoy, the greatest writer ever,
00:30:31could figure out why women do what they do.
00:30:34But that's easy.
00:30:36Love.
00:30:47Wow.
00:30:49Zantadesia Aethiopica.
00:30:52Gorgeous.
00:30:54Show off.
00:30:56I know, it's terrible.
00:30:58It's not every day I get to impress a girl with my command of Latin.
00:31:01On a more poetic note, you look lovely.
00:31:05Please, come in.
00:31:17Thank you.
00:31:19You are welcome. White is fine?
00:31:22Yeah, absolutely. This place is great.
00:31:24Oh, thank you. I designed it myself.
00:31:27Salmon's fine.
00:31:29Atlantic. Fresh.
00:31:35I think we're fine.
00:31:37I would love to show you something this way.
00:31:40Okay.
00:31:43Oh, wow.
00:31:45I thought you would appreciate it.
00:31:47My orchid collection.
00:31:49Stunning.
00:31:51Cambria tiger.
00:31:55Here you go. Try this. It's ouzo.
00:31:57You ever had ouzo?
00:31:59No, I've never had it.
00:32:01A friend of mine brought it back from Greece for me.
00:32:03Oh.
00:32:05You don't like it?
00:32:07No, it's a little bit licorice-y.
00:32:09I love it.
00:32:11Yeah, most people do.
00:32:13I think I had a bad experience with black jelly beans when I was a little kid.
00:32:17Traumatized for life.
00:32:19Serious medical condition.
00:32:21It is treatable, though, with a course of junior mints.
00:32:26I love spending time with you.
00:32:28I feel like we share something special.
00:32:31Yeah, so do I.
00:32:34So, what kind of wedding are you gonna have?
00:32:37Who's the guy? How'd you meet?
00:32:39Well, believe it or not, we met at a wedding.
00:32:41Yes, my cousin had a destination wedding in Bermuda,
00:32:44and he was one of the groom's college friends,
00:32:46and we just looked at each other, and we knew.
00:32:49I mean, I couldn't believe it.
00:32:51Has that ever happened to you, where you just...
00:32:53You looked at someone, and you knew that it was the real thing?
00:32:56One sec.
00:32:59Uh...
00:33:02One sec.
00:33:04Um...
00:33:07Um, yeah, so, let's see.
00:33:10You know what? Actually, can I just...
00:33:12Can you excuse me for a second? Sure.
00:33:14Okay, great. Thanks.
00:33:16Stephen, how are you?
00:33:18I'm well.
00:33:20Just thought I'd come by and say hi.
00:33:22Hi.
00:33:24And to give you this.
00:33:29Thank you.
00:33:36Rebecca.
00:33:38Well, I figured it was kind of pointless bringing you flowers.
00:33:41Yeah. Well, thank you.
00:33:43Listen, um, do you have time to go out for lunch?
00:33:46Oh, you know what? I'm a little busy right now.
00:33:49Oh, come on. You can take a couple hours off, surely.
00:33:52It's a beautiful day.
00:33:55Give me one second.
00:33:57So, Megan, let me see your inspiration board.
00:34:01Inspiration board? What's that?
00:34:03Wow. Um, you take different pictures from wedding magazines,
00:34:08and you glue them onto a poster board,
00:34:10so I could see your dream wedding.
00:34:12Oh, wow. I have never heard of that.
00:34:14I can't believe that. I mean, every bride seems to be doing it these days.
00:34:17Um, I tell you what.
00:34:19Why don't you take some bridal magazines home with you,
00:34:21and make your inspiration board,
00:34:23and we'll meet back up in a couple weeks or whenever you're done.
00:34:26Okay, great. Wow. This is going to be fun.
00:34:29Yeah. It certainly is.
00:34:34I was more of a chess player.
00:34:36Oh, let me guess. Research for a book?
00:34:39Exactly.
00:34:40Well, what do you write, anyway?
00:34:42Oh, no. I finally get a day off. I don't want to talk about work.
00:34:45Oh, come on. Just tell me.
00:34:47All in good time.
00:34:51I thought we were going to lunch.
00:34:53We are.
00:34:57Aww.
00:34:59Champagne?
00:35:00A picnic.
00:35:02That's so romantic.
00:35:06Yep. I actually had to make a flower arrangement for a cow's neck.
00:35:10The whole wedding was black and white cow print.
00:35:13And, um, oh, they had cheesecake instead of normal cake.
00:35:19And for their favors, they had these little tiny cheese graters
00:35:22that said, a great love on them.
00:35:24Oh.
00:35:25You get it?
00:35:26Yeah.
00:35:28But that was nothing compared to this biker wedding I did.
00:35:30Um, I had to coordinate the flowers with the bride's tattoos.
00:35:34And now I'm working on this wedding for this girl who wants it to be Scottish-themed,
00:35:39but she's not Scottish.
00:35:42But it sounds like you love what you do.
00:35:44Oh, mm-hmm.
00:35:46You know, it's funny.
00:35:47You're basically someone's best friend for a couple of months.
00:35:50You know, helping them plan the most important day of their lives.
00:35:54And then they're gone.
00:35:56You move on to the next one.
00:35:59You ever thought about what you'll do for your own wedding?
00:36:02Come on. I know you have.
00:36:04Uh, I don't know.
00:36:06I guess if I ever get married, I would probably just...
00:36:10Elope?
00:36:12Yes. How did you know?
00:36:14Well, weddings are work for you.
00:36:16They're packing a suitcase, running away to a distant land.
00:36:20That's romantic.
00:36:21Is that what you're going to do for your wedding?
00:36:23Absolutely.
00:36:24Well, if I get married.
00:36:26I mean, it sounds great in theory, but, um, I could never do that to Rose.
00:36:31You two are pretty close, huh?
00:36:33Yeah, my parents died when I was pretty young, so her and my grandpa raised me.
00:36:37And then when grandpa died, it was just her and I.
00:36:40I'm sorry. That must have been very tough for you.
00:36:42No, I was pretty young, and Rose gave me everything I needed.
00:36:47It wasn't until I got older that I started to realize what I was missing.
00:36:53Every time I see pictures of them, it just reminds me that they were real people.
00:36:57That I'll never know.
00:37:02Is that what's in the locket? Pictures of your parents?
00:37:05Mm-hmm.
00:37:06Can I see?
00:37:07Sure.
00:37:13Wow.
00:37:15Hmm.
00:37:30We should check, because they might close early.
00:37:32Yeah.
00:37:34Hmm.
00:37:40Um, how about dinner at my place some night?
00:37:45Um, okay. That'd be great.
00:37:48I'll call you.
00:37:49Okay.
00:37:52Oh, thank you so much for the book.
00:37:56You're welcome.
00:37:57And for the lovely time.
00:37:59Yeah, it was fun.
00:38:01Yeah, it was.
00:38:03I'll see you soon.
00:38:05Okay, bye.
00:38:18That's fine. Thanks, Sam.
00:38:20Yeah, you're welcome.
00:38:21So, you just ran off with him in the middle of the day.
00:38:24So?
00:38:25Well, what if something happened to you?
00:38:27What? Nana, we were going on a picnic, not skydiving.
00:38:30Does Evan know you're running off with strange men?
00:38:33Evan and I have been on two dates. It's not like we're exclusive.
00:38:36Oh, honey, I just don't want you to miss a chance to be with somebody wonderful like Evan because of some struggling writer.
00:38:42He's not struggling.
00:38:44Well, he never tells you what he's working on. I think that is very suspicious, don't you?
00:38:48He will tell me when he's ready.
00:38:50Look, Evan and I are still happening. It's just Stephen and I have a connection.
00:38:57I just don't want you to be hurt.
00:38:59Nana, aren't you always telling me to hang out with other people? That's what I'm doing.
00:39:02Yes, but chances for real happiness don't come by five times a day like a crosstown bus.
00:39:10You sure about that?
00:39:11No, I just want you to give Evan another chance.
00:39:15Oh, Kevin. I didn't see you. Your flowers are ready.
00:39:19Thank you.
00:39:20How are you today?
00:39:21I'm good.
00:39:22Good, good.
00:39:23How are you?
00:39:24I am flying to Buenos Aires next week. I have a job interview there.
00:39:28Oh, for what?
00:39:30Working for a pharmaceutical company that's trying to discover and synthesize new plant compounds for medicinal use.
00:39:38I'm surprised you never mentioned this before.
00:39:41Well, I didn't want to jinx it. I mean, this is my dream job.
00:39:46So if you get this job, does that mean you'll be moving to South America?
00:39:50For a couple years, yeah. But it would take a while to organize.
00:39:55I have to get visas and shots and working papers, all that.
00:40:04I want you to come with me.
00:40:13Oh, my God. Honey, do you know what this means?
00:40:16What?
00:40:17He's going to ask you to marry him.
00:40:18No, he's not.
00:40:19Yes, yes he is. Trust me, when a man sees the woman that he's going to marry for the first time, he just knows.
00:40:24Really?
00:40:25Okay, what color are you going to have your bridesmaids wear? Because I just need you to know, I don't look good in yellow.
00:40:29Okay, Brooke, stop.
00:40:30Any other color is fine. Trust me, please.
00:40:31Brooke, stop. Please. Okay, I don't even know how I feel about this yet.
00:40:34Honey, a handsome doctor wants to marry you and whisk you off for a life of adventure and romance, and you don't know how you feel about that?
00:40:41Okay, but don't forget, I also have a handsome writer who's interested in spending time with me as well.
00:40:46Okay, well, you know what? You need to figure out if Stephen is serious or not.
00:40:49Because Evan is going to close the deal as soon as he gets back.
00:40:52What am I supposed to do? Sit Stephen down and ask him if he's ready for marriage and children?
00:40:56No, you don't have to do that. Just get him to start talking about his future and say what he says.
00:41:17You look beautiful.
00:41:19Thank you.
00:41:23Did you know that in Victorian times, to bring someone red tulips was a passionate declaration of love?
00:41:29The black center was supposed to represent a lover's heart, burned to a coal by love's passion.
00:41:34They also mean fame. I thought you might like that.
00:41:38I'm not famous.
00:41:39Maybe someday.
00:41:41You know, I was lucky you didn't bring me yellow tulips.
00:41:43Why?
00:41:45Well, they mean to declare your love hopelessly and utterly, and to throw yourself at the mercy of your lover.
00:41:52I can see how that would be a little much for a Tuesday night.
00:41:54A little bit.
00:41:56This is really good, by the way.
00:41:57Thanks. Want to know the secret?
00:42:00I only cook with real butter.
00:42:02Oh, really?
00:42:03Yeah.
00:42:04This is really good, by the way.
00:42:05Thanks. Want to know the secret?
00:42:08I only cook with real butter.
00:42:11Well, where did you learn how to cook like this?
00:42:13The Cordon Bleu in Paris.
00:42:15Let me guess. Was it research for a book?
00:42:18That's right.
00:42:19Well, if writing doesn't work out, you could always be a chef.
00:42:21Oh, I can never stop writing. I love the freedom it gives me.
00:42:24You know, I can be anyone. I can pack up and just go anywhere for my research.
00:42:31I'm glad you finally had a free night so we could do this.
00:42:34Me too.
00:42:36You're a very busy lady, it seems.
00:42:38Well, you know, I have lots of weddings and stuff like that.
00:42:43I was beginning to think maybe I had a rival.
00:42:46And if you did?
00:42:48I'd have to challenge him to a duel.
00:42:51I'm a very jealous man.
00:42:53I can see.
00:42:55When do I get to read one of your books?
00:42:57Someday.
00:43:00You're a very mysterious man, you know that?
00:43:02Mysterious? Really?
00:43:04Yeah.
00:43:06Well, they say when a man is mysterious, it's because he's harboring a terrible secret.
00:43:12I think you've been reading too many books.
00:43:33Thank you. Have a good day.
00:43:35Thank you, Laurel.
00:43:38Very pretty.
00:43:39They are.
00:43:42Oh, there you are. Where were you last night? We missed you at the book club meeting.
00:43:48Oh, that's right. It was a long time ago.
00:43:51Oh, I'm sorry.
00:43:53Oh, it's all right.
00:43:55It's all right.
00:43:57It's all right.
00:43:59It's all right.
00:44:00What were you doing?
00:44:02Oh, that's right. It was Tuesday.
00:44:04I made your favorite key lime bars.
00:44:06The ones with the toasted coconut on top.
00:44:09Well, I was actually having dinner with Stephen.
00:44:13Stephen?
00:44:15Oh, honey.
00:44:16What happened to Evan?
00:44:18Nana, I told you he had to go to South America.
00:44:20Oh, sweetheart.
00:44:22I know it's your life, but you're wasting your time with this Stephen fellow.
00:44:27I mean, he's not looking for anything serious.
00:44:30I told you that he's not dating other women.
00:44:32Nana.
00:44:34Whereas Evan has always been right up front with you about his intentions.
00:44:38You'll have to ask yourself, what do I really want in a relationship?
00:44:43Sit down. Make a list. Two columns.
00:44:46Maybe you can use different colored pens.
00:44:48Okay. Hello.
00:44:50Good morning, Rose.
00:44:52Yeah, good morning.
00:44:54I want to get some flowers for Nikki's teacher.
00:44:56I see. Suggest some things.
00:45:01Thank you.
00:45:05It was perfect.
00:45:07I mean, you know when you first kiss a guy,
00:45:10and you have like this flash-forward fantasy about how your lives are going to be together,
00:45:15and you can see your wedding day and your honeymoon and adorable little babies?
00:45:21God, I don't remember any of that.
00:45:23You didn't have that with James?
00:45:25Well, I mean, you know, James and I have been dating since I was in high school,
00:45:27so I'm kind of too far past that stage to really remember any of it.
00:45:30But when Steven kissed me, Brooke, it was like, I felt like I could do it forever.
00:45:36And he's all into poetry and love.
00:45:39Okay, but what about Evan?
00:45:41I like Evan.
00:45:43But Steven and I, we just have a connection.
00:45:48I just wish he was more honest about what he does all day.
00:45:52You know, he won't tell me anything.
00:45:54I don't know what he's writing, where he's working.
00:45:55He says he's always moving around.
00:45:57Okay, well, that's a red flag.
00:45:59I know. I mean, I even looked him up on the internet.
00:46:01I couldn't find one thing about him.
00:46:03It's like he's an invisible man or something.
00:46:06So what do you think I should do? Who should I choose?
00:46:09Well, I think you should go for both.
00:46:11Both?
00:46:13Yes! Keep dating the charming, mysterious guy,
00:46:16but also date the doctor guy on the side just in case.
00:46:19Perfect.
00:46:26I can't believe it.
00:46:28It's a total disaster.
00:46:30She's gone on a few days with this writer fellow.
00:46:32What's wrong with that? He's charming, handsome.
00:46:35My point, exactly.
00:46:37She's going to fall madly in love with him.
00:46:39He's going to break up with her in a few months.
00:46:41Meanwhile, Evan will have slipped through her fingers.
00:46:45Rose, it's her life. Let her live it.
00:46:47I can't help it.
00:46:49Laurel is a very sweet girl, but she is just too much of a dreamer.
00:46:52I'm afraid she's going to miss out on life.
00:46:54Love. Real love.
00:46:56You know, with a man who cares about her.
00:46:58Oh, my God.
00:47:01There he is.
00:47:03Who?
00:47:05The man who is threatening to undermine my entire plan.
00:47:08Who's the lady?
00:47:10Who cares?
00:47:12She's not Laurel.
00:47:14Come on. Come on.
00:47:16What are you doing?
00:47:18I'm going to take his picture with my phone.
00:47:20I thought you didn't know how to use that phone.
00:47:22I don't. I don't.
00:47:27It's you.
00:47:29Oh, Brett.
00:47:31I have to get this picture.
00:47:33If I could just show Laurel.
00:47:35Show her what? Some lousy cell phone picture?
00:47:38No. She has to see that this guy is playing the field.
00:47:42She's going to have to make up her own mind about him.
00:47:44Let it go.
00:47:46I can't.
00:47:48Laurel is everything to me.
00:47:49She's my whole life.
00:47:51I lost my husband, my daughter, everything.
00:47:54I have to protect her.
00:47:56From what? Life?
00:47:58I don't want her to end up all alone.
00:48:00No husband. No family.
00:48:03I can't let that happen.
00:48:20Hi, Stephen.
00:48:22I'm Rose Durham, Laurel's grandmother.
00:48:25Oh, hello. Oh, please, please, come on in.
00:48:27No, no, no. I'm going to get right to the point.
00:48:31You seem like a very wonderful, charming man.
00:48:36It's always nice to hear.
00:48:38But, you see, that is part of the problem.
00:48:41I know you're seeing my granddaughter.
00:48:43Yes, but don't worry.
00:48:45I don't think it's serious yet.
00:48:47You see that?
00:48:49That's what I'm worried about.
00:48:51I don't know if I know what you mean.
00:48:53I know. It's odd.
00:48:55But, you see, I'm an old lady.
00:48:58I'm a widow.
00:49:00I've got my shop and my granddaughter.
00:49:02And all I want in this world is for her to be happy.
00:49:06I think she is happy.
00:49:08Well, yes, she's happy right now.
00:49:10But what I mean is long-term happiness.
00:49:14Settle down with a man who loves her.
00:49:17A man she can rely on.
00:49:20Does she know that you're here?
00:49:22No, of course not.
00:49:24Now, I know far be it for me to meddle in the affairs of young people,
00:49:28but I think you should know that she already has a man like that in her life.
00:49:34She's seen someone else?
00:49:36Yes. And they're quite serious.
00:49:39Practically engaged, if you must know.
00:49:42Thank you for letting me know.
00:49:44You're welcome.
00:49:49Bye.
00:50:08Okay, thanks a lot.
00:50:10Thank you.
00:50:16Rose's turn.
00:50:17Hi.
00:50:19Stephen! I thought that might be you.
00:50:21Hey, Laurel. How are you?
00:50:23I'm good. I was just finishing up with the Harris wedding flowers.
00:50:27I'm going to go home and change and then I'll see you at the restaurant around 8.
00:50:30That's why I'm calling, actually.
00:50:32What do you mean?
00:50:34I don't think I can make it tonight.
00:50:36Oh. What's the matter?
00:50:39Nothing. I just got a lot of writing to do.
00:50:42I've got to hand this manuscript in next week and I'm just too far behind.
00:50:45Probably won't be much fun anyway.
00:50:47Absolutely.
00:50:49I just got to lock myself in a room and work for a few days, you know?
00:50:52No, I understand.
00:50:54Good luck.
00:50:56Thanks.
00:50:58Bye.
00:51:17Hey, Mom and Dad.
00:51:21Why does love have to be so hard?
00:51:27How come I can't find someone easily like you guys did?
00:51:32You know, you just met and fell in love and got married.
00:51:39It was just simple and straightforward.
00:51:41Why am I so confused?
00:52:12Gavin?
00:52:15Hi.
00:52:17Hey, Laurel. Good to see you.
00:52:19What are you doing here?
00:52:21I was just bringing my parents some flowers.
00:52:24Oh.
00:52:26I was visiting Jessica.
00:52:30How'd you two fall in love?
00:52:33It wasn't hard.
00:52:35I was fixed up on a blind date.
00:52:38I was in love.
00:52:39Blind date.
00:52:41I thought she was so beautiful and so intelligent.
00:52:46We were married a year later.
00:52:48So it was that easy, huh?
00:52:50No hesitation?
00:52:52Well, like so many young men, I didn't want to get married early.
00:52:57But that all changed when I fell in love.
00:53:03Would you ever remarry?
00:53:05Of course.
00:53:07I'd like very much to be remarried.
00:53:09For me, there's only one real happiness.
00:53:14To love and be loved.
00:53:17That's what Rose always says.
00:53:24Would you like me to walk you home?
00:53:26Okay.
00:53:34Rose is a very wise woman.
00:53:37She's beautiful, too.
00:53:40You should tell her that sometime.
00:53:42I'm sure she would love to hear it.
00:53:45Perhaps I will.
00:54:09Hi there, Laurel.
00:54:20So he still hasn't called you?
00:54:22Nope. It is the weirdest thing.
00:54:24I mean, we were having this wonderful time together, and then poof, he's gone.
00:54:29Do you think I should call him?
00:54:31What? No. No, no, no. Here's what we're going to do.
00:54:33We are going to forget about this guy.
00:54:35I mean, we can't be focused on some guy that's going to creep all out and disappear on you like that.
00:54:39What if it was a misunderstanding?
00:54:41Honey, when a guy doesn't call, it's because he's seeing somebody else or doesn't want to hurt your feelings.
00:54:46Okay, so I shouldn't call him?
00:54:48Promise me you're not going to call him.
00:54:50Okay, don't worry. I won't. I won't call him.
00:54:56Happy birthday.
00:54:58Nana, you did not have to bring me flowers.
00:55:00I didn't. They're from Evan.
00:55:02Oh.
00:55:04He called me last night and told me to be sure to give you these first thing in the morning.
00:55:10Ah.
00:55:16Dear Laurel, I want to be the first person to wish you a happy birthday this year and for many years to come.
00:55:23No matter how far away I am, I want you to know that I have never felt closer to anyone.
00:55:28See you soon. Love, Evan.
00:55:37Wow.
00:55:40Wow.
00:55:48Oh my gosh, look at this wedding dress.
00:55:50With the little fishtail mermaid thing at the bottom, that would look absolutely perfect on you.
00:55:55Just because Evan sent me flowers on my birthday, that does not mean we're going to start planning my wedding.
00:55:59Oh, come on. Can you try to act a little bit excited about this whole thing? Just for me, please.
00:56:04I don't want to jinx it.
00:56:05You know what? I bet if Steven would have been the one who wanted to marry you, you would have already had the dress picked out and the flowers ordered by now.
00:56:12Well, if Steven and I were going to get married, we would have probably just eloped.
00:56:15But he's actually not even talking to me, so it doesn't matter.
00:56:18He still hasn't called you?
00:56:20Nope. And don't worry, I haven't called him.
00:56:23Well, you know what? I'm sorry. I should have never even brought it up.
00:56:27You know? Especially on your birthday.
00:56:30No, it's okay. I mean, it just bums me out that I'm never going to know what happened between us.
00:56:38You know what? I've got to get out of here. I have to deliver those flowers and then go pick up some more ribbon for the Scottish Bridezilla wedding on Saturday.
00:56:45You're still going to help me, right?
00:56:47I'll be there. Oh, and don't forget, tonight at the shop at 7 o'clock.
00:56:50I can't believe I actually slipped and told you, but just try your best to act surprised.
00:56:55Don't worry. I'm on it.
00:56:59Bye.
00:57:11This looks so cute.
00:57:13You like it?
00:57:15Yeah.
00:57:21Hey, why don't you wait here? I'll go get us a table. Back in a sec.
00:57:26Hello? Victoria Darling speaking.
00:57:30Yes. Oh, it's fabulous up here. Such a lovely little town. Oh, and Stephen and I always have such a great time together.
00:57:37He is such a romantic guy. Makes everything easy.
00:57:42Yeah, well, when you've been together as long as we have, you just know it's going to last forever.
00:57:47Okay. Alright. Great. Bye-bye.
00:57:59Surprise!
00:58:02He's got a girlfriend. I should have known.
00:58:06How could you have known?
00:58:08About the red flags. I just wish he wasn't so secretive about what he did all day.
00:58:11Whoever she is, she couldn't possibly be as wonderful as you are.
00:58:14Oh, she is, Evangeline. She's sophisticated and beautiful.
00:58:19You're beautiful.
00:58:21And she has this glamorous name, like she's from a soap opera or something.
00:58:25You know her name?
00:58:26Well, there you go. You can Google her.
00:58:28So who is she?
00:58:30Her name is Victoria Darling.
00:58:33I know. It's crazy, right? Like it's not even real.
00:58:36Oh, honey. I hate to be the one to tell you, but she's real.
00:58:46Yep, that's her.
00:58:48Wow. So she's a romance novelist?
00:58:51A best-selling romance novelist.
00:58:53I thought she looked familiar.
00:58:54What, you saw her?
00:58:56Well, I thought I saw her.
00:58:58Why do you guys have this, anyway?
00:59:01We were reading it at the book club.
00:59:03Yeah, I read it when I was on vacation, and it's actually amazing.
00:59:10Sorry.
00:59:16She had never seen a man like him before.
00:59:19Proud, tall, handsome.
00:59:22His dark profile thrilling against the evening sky.
00:59:26This?
00:59:28This was a man she could fall in love with.
00:59:31A man she could never have.
00:59:37Ow. Ow.
00:59:39Oh, what happened? What happened?
00:59:42I poked myself.
00:59:44Okay.
00:59:49What is it?
00:59:51What is the matter with you? You're just not yourself today.
00:59:56Thank you.
00:59:58It's Victoria's book.
01:00:00You read the whole thing?
01:00:02Yes. I couldn't sleep. And you know, I don't even like romance novels.
01:00:06But something about this one really spoke to me.
01:00:09I think it was that whole thing about true love and even if it seems impossible to still pursue it.
01:00:16But you have true love. Evan's love.
01:00:18Nana, I care about Evan. I do. I do. But...
01:00:22But what? What?
01:00:24I don't know. The whole thing with him is just not sitting well with me.
01:00:27Maybe if I could just talk to Stephen and see if we had some misunderstanding.
01:00:33Oh, sweetie, you know, I know you care about Stephen, but he is not the guy for you.
01:00:39Then why can't I stop thinking that we're meant to be together?
01:00:42Life isn't a romance novel.
01:00:43Life isn't a romance novel. I mean, sometimes you have to accept even a love that's less than perfect.
01:00:51That is pretty wonderful.
01:00:53I guess. I just can't believe you didn't even call me.
01:01:04Rose's turn.
01:01:06Hello, Laurel. Is Rose there?
01:01:08Yes, she is. It's Gavin.
01:01:14Oh, Gavin. So nice to hear from you.
01:01:17Are you free tonight?
01:01:19What? Oh, well, no, we're pretty busy. You know, that's the big Scottish wedding weekend.
01:01:25Rain check?
01:01:27Well, all right. That would be nice.
01:01:29I'll see you soon.
01:01:31Yes. Well, fine. Bye-bye.
01:01:33Bye-bye.
01:01:35I think I just got asked out on a date.
01:01:43Bye-bye.
01:01:52Evan, you're back.
01:01:54I had to get back and see you.
01:01:56Did you get the job?
01:01:58I did. There's just one thing I need to sort out before I accept it.
01:02:01What's that?
01:02:03Our future.
01:02:04Laurel, I know we haven't known each other very long, but I knew that I wanted you the moment we met,
01:02:12and you're all I could think of while I was away.
01:02:15Is this...
01:02:17Yes.
01:02:18Are you...
01:02:20I am asking you to be my wife.
01:02:22You don't have to answer right away.
01:02:24I know that I'm kind of rushing this, and the last thing I want to do is rush you, but...
01:02:35Will you think it over?
01:02:40Of course I will.
01:02:55Hi.
01:02:57Sorry. Sorry I'm late.
01:02:59That's okay.
01:03:01So, how was your date with Gavin?
01:03:04Oh, well, you know, we just had coffee and dessert, and then we went for a walk in his garden.
01:03:12It was just wonderful.
01:03:14You know, honey, he is such a special man.
01:03:17I can't believe that I went this long without noticing him.
01:03:21I must have been blind.
01:03:23Oh, my God.
01:03:27Is that what I think it is?
01:03:29Yep.
01:03:31Evan proposed. He came right from the airport.
01:03:32Oh, it's beautiful.
01:03:34I can't believe you're going to get married.
01:03:37Aren't you excited?
01:03:39I haven't said yes yet.
01:03:41But you're going to, aren't you?
01:03:43I don't know. I thought Evan was the one, but...
01:03:45But what? What? What?
01:03:47And I met Stephen.
01:03:49Oh, I knew it. I knew you were going to fall in love with that Stephen.
01:03:52Well, we were just getting to know each other, and...
01:03:55Oh, it's nonsense. It only takes a minute to fall in love.
01:03:58I knew I was going to marry your grandfather 16 seconds into our first date.
01:04:03It took him a little longer to realize he was going to marry me.
01:04:07Stephen's made his choice.
01:04:09Now I need to make mine.
01:04:11Am I going to marry Evan or wait for my true love who may never come?
01:04:17Oh, no, honey.
01:04:20You know, we don't have time to talk about this right now.
01:04:22We've got to get to Kristen's wedding.
01:04:24Brooke's meeting us there, and we've got to go.
01:04:25Honey, you're going to be very angry with me about this,
01:04:30but I have something to tell you.
01:04:33What am I going to be angry about, Nana?
01:04:37I had a little conversation with Stephen about you.
01:04:43Oh, Nana.
01:04:45I told him that you were involved with someone else.
01:04:48It was a serious relationship.
01:04:50So, you told Stephen about Evan?
01:04:53Oh, honey, I'm so sorry. I know I shouldn't have done it,
01:04:56but I thought it would help you to decide.
01:04:58No, do you think maybe that's why Stephen disappeared?
01:05:01Maybe.
01:05:03Nana!
01:05:05Aren't you married?
01:05:07Not now. I probably will be later, but in the meantime, I need to go see Stephen.
01:05:11He enters the room and takes her in his arms,
01:05:15kissing her with a warrior's passion.
01:05:18Drops his sword to the floor,
01:05:20and then...
01:05:28You know what? Why don't we take a break?
01:05:31We can get back to this later.
01:05:33Sure.
01:05:51Hello?
01:05:53Oh, those are beautiful flowers.
01:05:56Are you...
01:05:58Victoria Darling?
01:06:00Yes, yes, I am.
01:06:02Then these are for you.
01:06:05Thank you.
01:06:07Hold on, I'll get you a tip.
01:06:09I'm sorry.
01:06:11I'm sorry.
01:06:13I'm sorry.
01:06:15I'm sorry.
01:06:17I'm sorry.
01:06:18Hold on, I'll get you a tip.
01:06:49Here you go.
01:06:51Thanks.
01:06:53You're welcome.
01:07:01Okay.
01:07:07You know, we do have a deadline.
01:07:10We should probably get back to work.
01:07:19Is there something going on with you?
01:07:22It's strange.
01:07:25Suddenly I just can't stop thinking about Laurel.
01:07:28The girl you were seeing.
01:07:30What's going on with that?
01:07:32Well, apparently she's seeing someone else.
01:07:34Grandmother told me it was pretty serious.
01:07:36Wait, her grandmother said that?
01:07:39Yeah.
01:07:41Okay, you know how grandmothers are.
01:07:43They always want to set their granddaughter up with a lawyer or a doctor or, you know...
01:07:48At least that's how my grandmother was.
01:07:51I know, I know.
01:07:53I should have just called her, right?
01:07:55Gotten the whole story.
01:07:57I got wrapped up in finishing the book and...
01:07:59Oh, honey, the book is important, but not as important as love.
01:08:03You know, sometimes I think you are just a little too sensitive.
01:08:07You're right.
01:08:09I mean, who cares if she's seeing someone else?
01:08:12I should just go to her and...
01:08:14And just tell her how you feel.
01:08:19Evan, hi, it's Laurel.
01:08:22When you get this message, can you meet me at the flower shop?
01:08:25I've made my decision.
01:08:39I came as soon as I got your message.
01:08:43So?
01:08:45What did you decide?
01:08:46Evan, you are a wonderful guy.
01:08:51And I'd be so lucky to be married to you.
01:08:55But I don't want to stop you from realizing your dreams.
01:08:58You are part of my dreams.
01:09:00I'm not. I'm not.
01:09:02I mean, we barely even know each other.
01:09:06And I think we were both just looking for someone.
01:09:12And that's why this was so rushed.
01:09:14I mean, I know we don't know each other that well, but...
01:09:17I'm really sorry.
01:09:44How many times did we go over this?
01:09:56And what color are these plates?
01:09:58I want dove white that looks like linen white or something.
01:10:01I mean, how complicated is this?
01:10:03I don't really understand why this is so difficult.
01:10:05Do not laugh at me.
01:10:07He's laughing at me. I do not want him serving at my wedding.
01:10:15Yes, both right here.
01:10:17We should have some extra.
01:10:19Merrily said no water.
01:10:21Got it.
01:10:23Can't wait to see it, right?
01:10:25Where have you been?
01:10:27Oh, Evan and Steven. I don't know. I don't even really want to talk about it.
01:10:31Are you okay, though?
01:10:33Yeah, I'm fine. Is everything okay here?
01:10:35Oh, you mean with Bridezilla?
01:10:37She's on the rampage right now, I'm telling you.
01:10:39I was worried about that.
01:10:41Apparently the ribbons on the ring bearer's pillow
01:10:42doesn't match the ribbon on the garter belt.
01:10:44She's freaking out.
01:10:46Well, where's Rose?
01:10:48Over there.
01:10:50What do you mean you ran out of caviar?
01:10:53I placed this order six months ago.
01:10:58I'm going to need to speak to your manager immediately.
01:11:05Where have you been?
01:11:08So, what happened with Steven?
01:11:10I went to see him and...
01:11:14Nana, he's in love with Victoria.
01:11:16Oh.
01:11:18I don't want to talk about it, okay? We only have an hour, so let's get going.
01:11:20Oh, sweetheart.
01:11:22Come on, it's okay.
01:11:24I'm not dancing to a DJ.
01:11:27No, I asked for a band.
01:11:33Oh, my God.
01:11:41Is everything okay?
01:11:43Okay.
01:11:46It's...
01:11:48amazing.
01:11:50So you like it?
01:11:52I love it.
01:11:54It's beautiful.
01:11:56You are a genius.
01:12:01Oh, God, this is going to be the most beautiful wedding ever.
01:12:05Just like I always dreamed of.
01:12:08Thank you.
01:12:10Oh, no, thank you.
01:12:12I know I've been a pain, and I am sorry. I just...
01:12:16I wanted this day to be perfect, and...
01:12:20now I know that it will be.
01:12:23I'm going to go upstairs and finish getting ready, fix my makeup.
01:12:35I will go get the bouquet.
01:12:37Okay, thank you.
01:12:38So, what happened?
01:12:40Well, I guess she realized it wasn't worth it to ruin her own wedding day.
01:12:44Isn't it funny how people get so upset over the silliest things?
01:12:48I know.
01:12:51So...
01:12:54when are you going to tell me what happened with Stephen?
01:12:58It's not going to work out, Nana.
01:13:01Oh, sweetie, I'm so sorry.
01:13:04Don't be. It's not your fault.
01:13:07But you need to promise me, no more meddling.
01:13:11I promise.
01:13:13I gave the ring back.
01:13:15Call me crazy, but I don't want to be married to someone
01:13:19just for the sake of being married.
01:13:23I want love.
01:13:26You know, passionate, crazy, romantic love.
01:13:31Just like in the novels.
01:13:33I know just what you mean, sweetheart.
01:13:36Thank you.
01:13:46Yellow tulips.
01:13:49Declaration of hopeless love.
01:13:51Where did these come from?
01:13:53I thought they were for me.
01:13:56The flower girl is Laurel.
01:14:01Why didn't you tell her about me?
01:14:04You know why? Our non-disclosure agreement.
01:14:06You have to tell her the truth.
01:14:08I will. Come on, we've got to get to the flower store.
01:14:10All right.
01:14:29She isn't here. There's nobody here.
01:14:32Well, where else could she be?
01:14:34It's Saturday night. She's probably at a wedding.
01:14:36Come on.
01:14:44You may get down.
01:14:46Thank you.
01:14:48Come inside.
01:15:07Wait a minute. Wait a minute.
01:15:09I think I saw her van. Back up a bit.
01:15:22This is it. That's her van.
01:15:24Okay.
01:15:25I've got to hurry.
01:15:27What's the rush? It's not like she's the one getting married.
01:15:29I don't want to fall in love with someone else.
01:15:31I don't want to fall in love with her.
01:15:33I don't want to fall in love with her.
01:15:34I don't want to fall in love with someone else.
01:15:36Weddings are a great place to meet someone.
01:15:38Good point.
01:15:40Go ahead. I'll catch up with you.
01:16:05Ladies and gentlemen, we are gathered here today
01:16:07to unite this man and this woman in holy matrimony.
01:16:12We are gathered here today for God...
01:16:35What are you doing here?
01:16:37You came by my house today to deliver flowers?
01:16:39Yes. I came by to see you.
01:16:41But you were otherwise engaged.
01:16:45You need to listen to me.
01:16:47It's not how it looks.
01:16:49I'm not engaged.
01:16:50I'm not seeing anyone.
01:16:52You're not?
01:16:53No.
01:16:54And she's not Victoria Darling.
01:16:56Yes, she is.
01:16:58I recognize her from the back of the books.
01:17:00No, she isn't.
01:17:04I'm Victoria Darling.
01:17:06What?
01:17:08Victoria Darling is a pen name.
01:17:10It's a pseudonym. I've written all her books.
01:17:12Love's Burning Fire.
01:17:14Rose and the Rogue.
01:17:16Wayward Wench.
01:17:18Passion's Darkest Flower.
01:17:20It's all me.
01:17:23So you're a romance novelist.
01:17:26Yeah.
01:17:30I was just out of college
01:17:31and I was working at a publishing company
01:17:33as an intern
01:17:35when my boss was looking for a ghost writer
01:17:37for a book idea she had.
01:17:39I mean, next thing you know,
01:17:41the book's a bestseller
01:17:43and bam, I got a career.
01:17:45But we figured that nobody would want to buy
01:17:47romance novels written by some guy
01:17:49so we invented Victoria Darling.
01:17:51Who is we?
01:17:56She's my publisher.
01:17:58Her real name is Elsie Giddens.
01:17:59We come up with the story ideas together
01:18:01and I do the writing.
01:18:03And I do all the book signings and the publicity.
01:18:13I don't believe you.
01:18:18I can prove it to you.
01:18:25He strode across the castle floor to her
01:18:26and held her in his arms.
01:18:28She struggled for a moment
01:18:31against him
01:18:33and he could feel her heart
01:18:35beating like a wild bird.
01:18:37She knew she should hate this man.
01:18:40A man who'd taken her from everything she knew.
01:18:44But all she could feel for him
01:18:51was a smoldering passion.
01:18:53And suddenly...
01:18:54Okay.
01:18:56I believe you now.
01:19:04I now pronounce you
01:19:06man and wife.

01:22:50there's only one happiness,
01:22:52and that happiness
01:22:54is to love
01:22:56and be loved.
01:22:58If you follow your heart.
