NICOLE I have some great ideas on the Metro Media file. I would love to tell you. KIM Wait... Why are you whispering? NICOLE There's a wedding going on in the park right now and I'm pretty sure they're about to get to that part where they ask, "Speak now, or forever hold your peace." KIM A wedding in a park? Oh!

NICOLE Well, Kim called me over the weekend wanting me to come in early this morning to give her my ideas for Metro Media. She's trying to land their contract and, uh, she has a big meeting with them today! MONICA Okay... NICOLE Well, I worked on it all weekend and here it is, so... what do you think? MONICA I think it's thick. NICOLE Well, yeah. I wanted to be thorough. I mean, this is a really important contract, so I figured if I just MONICA Did Kim ask you to do... all that? NICOLE Well, no. But I took initiative! MONICA Initiative? NICOLE Yeah-huh. MONICA You want to know what another saying for initiative is? Jumping to conclusions. Take my advice: don't do anything unless someone tells you to. NICOLE MONICA Even then, wait 'til they ask a second time. For men, it's three. Trust me. You'll be happier. There's Kim now. Good luck!

You landed it? KIM Yeah. I mean, yesterday, after our call, I decided why not just take the executives out to dinner? NICOLE And? KIM And somewhere between the wine and the karaoke, I signed them to a three-year deal. NICOLE Wow... Congratulations! KIM Thank you. So, all of this, much appreciated but not really needed. NICOLE Oh! I just wanted to show you what I could do if I was given the opportunity. KIM Aw, Nicole. I mean, being a workaholic is so early 2000s. Trust me I was there. Nowadays, it's all about relationships and... team spirit. NICOLE Huh. Well, I'm not a workaholic. I'm just highly organized. KIM Well, when was the last time you organized your way into a romantic rendezvous? NICOLE Huh. MONICA Soooo? NICOLE Don't! Just... Don't.

It's a safety hazard. I'm going to put a sign up later or maybe I'll just get rid of it altogether. Sorry about that! Wow! Congratulations, you guys. This is really... exciting! NICOLE Thank you, Nicole. BRADLEY Thank you. You know Bradley and I have busy schedules. KIM Whoo! Don't I know it. KIM And because of those schedules and some upcoming travel in the next couple of months, we need to pull off this wedding fast. NICOLE How fast? KIM & BRADLEY Two weeks. NICOLE Yikes! Well, that sure is fast. I'll be sure to respond to my invite A-S-A-P. KIM Um... NICOLE Oh! My gosh. I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to assume that I was invited, I was just... trying to be funny and... Oh, gosh. KIM Oh, no! Of course you're invited. NICOLE Yeah? BRADLEY Actually, you're more than invited. NICOLE More? BRADLEY More. KIM What my fiancé is trying to say is that we're going to need some help planning this wedding if we're going to pull it off on time. And you are the most organized person I've ever worked with. BRADLEY KIM So... we were hoping that you would be... our wedding planner. NICOLE Oh! BRADLEY Listen, Kimmy tells me you're not the biggest fan of romance. NICOLE Everybody keeps saying that! But I like romance. I do. Romance just doesn't seem to like me very much. BRADLEY Well, that's why I've asked my nephew to help out. NICOLE I work better alone. BRADLEY Think of him as your assistant? NICOLE Mm. I still work better alone. KIM Oh, but I've met Bradley's nephew several times. Really sweet kid. Hopeless romantic. BRADLEY Everybody in the family calls him Mr. Romance. NICOLE Okay... BRADLEY I shouldn't be saying this, but, uh, he's my favourite nephew. NICOLE Ah! Ooh! BRADLEY He's a bit of a black sheep in a family, uh, full of type-A businesspeople. But he's super sweet. KIM And easy on the eyes, if you know what I mean. BRADLEY Runs in the family. KIM Oh! BRADLEY NICOLE Ohhh. Oh! I have so much work to do, maybe... your nephew could handle this on his own? BRADLEY Michael? Sweet kid, just not the most reliable, if you know what I mean? NICOLE Oh. KIM We were thinking that the two of you would make a great team. Yup, he'll bring the romance and you can bring the focus and organization. NICOLE Mm. BRADLEY Kind of give this wedding planning the old one-two punch. NICOLE Uh! I think this is a horrible idea. BRADLEY What? KIM Nicole! I mean, you know I love your unbridled honesty, but I was hoping that you'd be a little bit more... NICOLE I'm kidding! BRADLEY Gahhhh! NICOLE Oh! KIM NICOLE I would love to plan your wedding! BRADLEY See? I told you she'd say yes. KIM Ah, perfect! Bradley has organized for you two to meet this morning. BRADLEY Should be here any minute. NICOLE This morning? KIM Nicole, you have to plan a wedding in two weeks. You have no time to waste. NICOLE Of course. What in the world? BRADLEY There he is now. NICOLE That's your nephew? BRADLEY Yeah. KIM Didn't I tell you he's easy on the eyes. BRADLEY Michael! Come on over here. Hey! You brought dogs! MICHAEL Hey, Uncle Brad! BRADLEY Hi! MICHAEL Kim. KIM Michael, this is Nicole. The woman I was telling you about. MICHAEL You're the woman from the park. NICOLE And you have dogs. Lots of dogs. MICHAEL I have a dog-walking business. NICOLE Oh! MICHAEL Wait, you're not allergic, are you? NICOLE No. No, no. I'm just not the biggest fan of dogs. Ooh. KIM Do you two know each other? NICOLE No. MICHAEL Yeah. NICOLE We met in the park yesterday. He was playing the guitar and… KIM Hm. BRADLEY Huh. NICOLE This is going to be a lot of fun. MICHAEL Why don't we take 'em for a walk? It'll distract 'em. Come on, guys. NICOLE Now? I... I have a lot of work to do. KIM Oh! Go for a walk. It'll give you guys a chance to get to know each other. And, Nicole, Bradley and I want this wedding to be fabulous! NICOLE I'll get right on that, Ms. Price. KIM Please... Call me Kim. NICOLE Okay... Kim. BRADLEY Thanks, Nicole. NICOLE Oh! BRADLEY What? NICOLE Going to get a sign for that. Ohh. MICHAEL You all right there? NICOLE Hey, cuties! MICHAEL Let's do it. Come on. Come on, come on, come on. Come on. MICHAEL She's good. She's good. BRADLEY MICHAEL So you don't like dogs? NICOLE Uh, it's kind of a long story and we have a ton of work to do. MICHAEL Yeah, we're planning a wedding. NICOLE Yes, it's all very exciting. MICHAEL I know, right? NICOLE I was being sarcastic. MICHAEL You know, Kim and Bradley warned me about you. NICOLE Warned you? What did they say? MICHAEL I'd rather not say. NICOLE Well, I'd rather not be walking half a dozen dogs and planning my boss's wedding, so... MICHAEL They said you might be a little apprehensive. NICOLE Oh! Well, that's true. MICHAEL All right, what have you got here? MICHAEL Hey! How to plan a wedding in ten easy steps. Step one, schedule, schedule, schedule. NICOLE See? Now that is really great advice. MICHAEL I bet you think so! Kim and Bradley told me about you and your schedules. NICOLE Well, that's why they asked me to help organize their wedding. MICHAEL And the fact that you're reading articles like this is why they asked me to help. We're going to make an amazing team. NICOLE Amazing. Yeah... That's the first word that popped into my head. MICHAEL So, sarcasm is your default? NICOLE Sorry. It's just... I have so much work to do and there's this promotion coming up that I really, really, really want. MICHAEL A-ha! There it is. NICOLE What? MICHAEL Kim is your boss, so if you do a great job at her wedding, it'll go a long way in having her in your corner come promotion time. Am I right? NICOLE MICHAEL Thought so. Okay, so you handle the scheduling and planning. I'll take care of the romance, okay? NICOLE You know, that's what Kim and Bradley said. They called it... "the old one-two punch." MICHAEL What was all of that? NICOLE Uh, punches. MICHAEL Uh-huh. NICOLE You know, the old one-two punch. MICHAEL You've never thrown a punch before, have you? NICOLE I've never had to. MICHAEL Okay. Well, uh, leave the romance and the punching to me. Teamwork. Come on. Come on, Lona. Come on, Lona. Come on. Come on, guys. NICOLE Teamwork. NICOLE So, we're walking these dogs and then he's all, like, "So I guess sarcasm is your baseline"? MONICA So, he's a fast judge of character is what you're saying. NICOLE Ha-ha-ha. But don't you think you should know someone better before you say something like that? MONICA Once he gets to know you, he'll love you, just like we all do. NICOLE Great. O-M-G! Look at this dress. NICOLE Uh... it's a beautiful dress. MONICA I love wedding magazines. So, what's the next steps? NICOLE Um, we're going to go check some wedding venues tomorrow. MONICA You're so lucky. KIM Back from the walk so soon? NICOLE Yeah. Uh, Michael had to get the dogs back. KIM Isn't he great? NICOLE Sure is! MONICA That's what Nicole was saying. KIM Really? 'Cause usually when Nicole says something nice about a guy, she's being sarcastic. NICOLE Ha! KIM What's wrong with my soon-to-be nephew? Does he prefer Google Docs over Excel? NICOLE Um, no. We're just two very different people, but I think we'll make a good team. KIM I'm sure you will. And didn't I tell you? He's easy on the eyes. Oh. Those flowers? Hideous. NICOLE Burn it. MAGGIE Hey. NICOLE Hey. Good morning. MAGGIE These dresses are gorgeous! You're so lucky. NICOLE That's what people keep telling me. MAGGIE Oh, come on. Even you can't find a way to hate this. NICOLE And, yet, I have found so many ways. You should see this guy, Michael. He's playing guitar one day and walking dogs the next. I mean, who lives like that? MAGGIE So why did you say yes? NICOLE Because I had no choice. Rule number one you never say no to your boss. Especially when you want a promotion. MAGGIE Well, it's better than sitting in an office all day. NICOLE What? Checking out wedding venues with some cute guy. MAGGIE Wait, this Michael guy is cute? You never mentioned that before. Hm. I see what's going on here. NICOLE What? MAGGIE Maybe you like him? NICOLE Like him? I barely know him and what I do know is more annoying than anything else. MAGGIE Okay. You go hang out with the cute boy all day and act annoyed by it. NICOLE Trust me! I would take my schedules and my spreadsheets any day. MAGGIE Look at this photo! These two are so in love. NICOLE Those are two models who are paid to look that way. MAGGIE Well, these two are definitely in love. JANETTE Michael! You are so funny! MICHAEL JANETTE Are you a comedian? MICHAEL Uh, no. Um... I'm a musician. JANETTE Oh, that's pretty good, too. MICHAEL Some of my music is funny. Unintentionally. JANETTE Oh! Funny guy. NICOLE Hey! MICHAEL Hey! Uh, Janette, this is Nicole, the woman I told you about. JANETTE I'm Janette, the assistant wedding coordinator. NICOLE Nice to meet you. JANETTE Mm-hm. Let's get started, shall we? Follow me. NICOLE She seems, uh... friendly. MICHAEL She was super nice until you got here. NICOLE I noticed that. Did you say something about me to her? MICHAEL Nothing bad. NICOLE What did you tell her. MICHAEL That you were a smart, funny executive with a bright future ahead of you. NICOLE Huh. What did you really tell her? MICHAEL That you're an over-organized, anti-romance wedding hater. NICOLE Oh! I am not an over-organized, anti-romance... MICHAEL Wedding hater. NICOLE Well, over-organized, okay. But I take that as a compliment. I most certainly am not anti-romance, nor do I hate weddings. JANETTE Sorry about that. The Davidsons? They are getting married here in a few weeks. Such a cute couple. MICHAEL So cute. JANETTE Ah. NICOLE Blah. JANETTE Pardon? NICOLE I said, "Yeah. Super cute!" JANETTE Moving along. MICHAEL Hey, I'm trying to get Janette on our side. Getting a venue like this on such short notice is a big ask. NICOLE I know. I'm sorry! I just... Just do your thing. MICHAEL Okay. Oh, Janette! Um, this place looks very familiar. Was it featured in Wedding Quarterly's Top Ten Venues List? JANETTE Yes! Oh, my gosh. I am so impressed that you noticed. Isn't he amazing? NICOLE Very amazing. JANETTE You are a very lucky girl. MICHAEL No, we're not NICOLE Oh, you No, we're not together. JANETTE Sorry, I just assumed she was your girlfriend. MICHAEL Nope. No girlfriend. JANETTE Single? Interesting. Hm. Me too. MICHAEL Huh. NICOLE Ah, um, Janette would you mind showing us where we'll be having the reception? JANETTE Sure. Follow me. NICOLE Ah... JANETTE And the D-J booth usually goes up right there, leaving seating for up to 100 people. NICOLE Hm. MICHAEL This is stunning, Janette. NICOLE Oh, yes. It's very... romantic, Janette. JANETTE I actually have another showing but I will leave you guys some information. It has the pricing and everything else you could need. MICHAEL Great. Thank you. JANETTE And Michael? MICHAEL Yes? JANETTE This is my cell number... Just in case. MICHAEL NICOLE Just in case... what? MICHAEL I don't know. Ah, pretty girls just give me their numbers sometimes. I have no idea why. NICOLE Maybe I should hang on to it, you know? If anybody's going to call with questions, it'll probably be me. MICHAEL I have a surprise for you. NICOLE Ooh! I guess nobody told you? MICHAEL Told me what? NICOLE I hate surprises. MICHAEL I have a theory that people who say they hate surprises actually really love them. NICOLE Nope. I hate surprises. It's on my list, along with, "going with the flow", "trusting in the universe" and overall general spontaneity. MICHAEL Okay. Do you, at least, like sandwiches? NICOLE Huh? MICHAEL All right. Don't hate me. NICOLE Oh, I don't like the sound of this. MICHAEL I may have just switched your schedule around a little bit. NICOLE You did what? MICHAEL There is this, ah, place around the corner that makes the most amazing sandwiches. NICOLE And? MICHAEL And I called the other venues that we're going to see today, and I just moved things around a little bit so that we would have time to grab some lunch. NICOLE You changed "my" schedule? MICHAEL It's going to be worth it. Trust me. NICOLE Mm-mm. This is a really Good sandwich. MICHAEL My dad always said the way to a woman's heart was through her stomach. NICOLE You could take Janette here on your first date. MICHAEL Yeah. I don't think that's going to happen. NICOLE She not your type? MICHAEL This might sound cliché, but I may be getting back together with my ex, Julie. NICOLE Why? MICHAEL She reached out. We started talking. Obviously, there were problems with the relationship, but it was also really amazing sometimes, too. And love is always worth fighting for. Also something my dad taught me. NICOLE Sounds like you're pretty close to your family. MICHAEL So, the other day, when we met, and I was playing that song... NICOLE Did I overreact? MICHAEL No, no. I-I get it. That song reminded you of a bad break-up. NICOLE I should've just put in my headphones. MICHAEL If you had requested something, what would it have been? I'm curious. Like, what kind of music do you listen to? NICOLE Really obscure stuff. Honestly. MICHAEL Like? NICOLE Well, a few years ago, I got really into this band out of Portland called Roadside Rescue. MICHAEL Hm. NICOLE I haven't listened to them, you know, in a few years. So, how do you get roped into planning your uncle's wedding? MICHAEL Why are you changing the subject? You don't want people to know too much about Nicole Waters? NICOLE Seriously, you must have other things to do? Work? MICHAEL I am taking a little break from work right now. I'm just playing the odd gig, walking dogs here and there. NICOLE And? MICHAEL And Bradley is the only uncle that I really like. NICOLE Oh. He said you were a bit of a black sheep in the family? MICHAEL Bradley's always been there for me. So, I want to make sure that this is really special for him and Kim. NICOLE Hm. MICHAEL Plus, I want to make a good impression on Kim. I mean, she's going to be family now. NICOLE MICHAEL And I thought this would be really fun. NICOLE Fun? Planning a wedding is never fun. MICHAEL No, planning your own wedding is never fun. NICOLE Why do you know so much about wedding planning? MICHAEL Four sisters, no brothers, all married. NICOLE Oh. Um... Please. MICHAEL There's lots. We could Here. I'll take this one. NICOLE MICHAEL Uh, so how did you get roped into planning a wedding? For your boss? NICOLE Your soon-to-be aunt is great. Honestly. But I've been working for her for a while now and we just haven't found a way to... MICHAEL Gel? NICOLE Yes! Gel. Exactly. MICHAEL So you think planning her wedding might help? NICOLE Well, for the first time ever she insisted I call her Kim. So, I guess that's a start? MICHAEL I've only known you a small amount of time, but.. it's pretty obvious that you're a smart, focused woman who probably has good ideas. So, you'll be fine. NICOLE Thanks. MICHAEL You just need to learn how to go with the flow. You know? Trust the universe. NICOLE Ha, ha, ha. MICHAEL We should probably get going. Ah, there might be traffic and I would hate for us to be late. NICOLE Look at you! Making time for traffic, planning out schedules. Maybe I'm rubbing off on you. Oh! MICHAEL Why don't you grab that and I will go take care of the bill. NICOLE Hello? KIM I am just calling to see how you and Michael are doing. NICOLE Things are going well. Um, we're on our way to Crystal Banquet Hall. KIM Oh, that's my favourite venue. Thank you so much, Nicole. This means a lot to me. NICOLE Of course, Ms. Price. KIM I told you. It's Kim. NICOLE It's my pleasure, Kim. Oh! Ah, hold on. I am just getting a text message from my contact over at Crystal Banquet Hall. KIM Oh, what are they saying? NICOLE No, no, no, no, no, no. KIM What is it? NICOLE Oh, Kim. I'm sorry but they just gave their last slot to someone else. KIM What happened? NICOLE I am sorry. I promise we will find you something that is just as good! KIM We'll talk about it in the morning. MICHAEL So, ready to check out venue number two? NICOLE Um... Who did you talk to over at Crystal Banquet Hall? MICHAEL Who did I talk to? NICOLE Yeah. When you changed the time of our meeting, who did you confirm it with? MICHAEL Oh, no one. When I called it went to voice mail, so I just left a message. NICOLE Oh. MICHAEL What. What's wrong? NICOLE Well, Michael, there was a very slim chance that they were going to be able to slip us in and someone else has just booked our date. MICHAEL Sorry, I thought... NICOLE Knew we should've stuck to my schedule! MICHAEL Well, look, there's a bunch of other places that we're supposed to look at. Why don't we NICOLE This was Kim's number one choice. MICHAEL Wh-what are you doing? NICOLE None of these other places will do. So, I'm going to make a new list. I'm going to find us something even better. MICHAEL I'm sorry. NICOLE But you can still go do the rest of the tours. Maybe, um, find us a back-up. I'm going to find a way to fix this. MICHAEL I was really just trying to help. I didn't NICOLE Ah, I told them I work better on my own. MICHAEL Wow. Okay. NICOLE Hi. Is this Summer Ranch and Events? I, uh, could I please check your schedule? Yes, I'll hold. NICOLE MAGGIE Hey! NICOLE Hey! MAGGIE So, how did it go? NICOLE I never want to see another banquet hall or photo garden again. MAGGIE Oof. Wow! These are beautiful. NICOLE Yeah. The venues were beautiful. Quick sidenote expensive as heck. MAGGIE I can imagine. NICOLE Oh, you don't have to imagine. The prices are right there on the back pages. MAGGIE Yikes. Well, at least you had the nephew to help you out. NICOLE Yeah... That didn't exactly work out. He changed my schedule and we lost Kim's favourite venue. MAGGIE Why did he change your schedule? Had you made a mistake? NICOLE Seriously? Me? Mistake? MAGGIE Right. NICOLE He wanted to go to a sandwich shop! MAGGIE A sandwich shop? NICOLE In all fairness to him, it was an awesome sandwich and... it was kind of nice getting to know him. He actually seems like a good guy. MAGGIE That sounds promising. NICOLE Nope. Not promising. MAGGIE What did you do? NICOLE What I always do. MAGGIE You pushed him away and told him you work better on your own? NICOLE Bingo! MAGGIE Nicole! NICOLE What? I do work better on my own. But, ugh... I feel kind of bad about how I treated Michael. MAGGIE Well, can you fix it? NICOLE The Michael situation or the Kim situation? MAGGIE Both? NICOLE I'd better. There is a lot riding on this. I can't let Kim down and I don't want to mess up this wedding. Uh! And now I have to go into work tomorrow and tell Kim why she can't have her favourite wedding venue. MAGGIE I'm sure she'll understand. NICOLE Yeah. Kim will understand. KIM I don't understand. NICOLE There was a mix-up with one of my schedules. KIM A mix-up? With one of your schedules? I don't believe it. NICOLE Unfortunately, it's true. KIM Oh, we loved that place. NICOLE So did Michael and I. KIM Wait... Did Michael mess things up? NICOLE Michael? KIM Yeah. I mean, the Nicole I know doesn't make mistakes but Michael, on the other hand, well... NICOLE Um... Actually... No. It wasn't Michael. It was me. I made a mistake. KIM Sure. Okay, well, no more mistakes. I need you two to go pull a few wedding dress options for me. NICOLE Wedding dress options? KIM Yeah. I mean, if I go myself, I will be there for days. So I just need you to weed out the ugly ones. NICOLE Okay. KIM I'm thinking... trumpet fit and flare. What do you think? NICOLE Uhhhh... Trumpet fitted and...? KIM Trumpet fit and flare. Michael will know what I'm talking about. NICOLE Trumpet fit and flare. KIM Peter! It is so nice to see you. Nicole, you know our CEO, MR BANKS. NICOLE Oh! Uh, only by name, sir, but it's very nice to meet you. MR BANKS Ah, yes. The young lady helping out with wedding plans. NICOLE That's me! That's me, sir. MR BANKS I think it's great that you're helping Kim out. And planning a wedding in two weeks? I tell you, if you pull this off NICOLE When I pull this off, sir. MR BANKS When you pull this off... I'll be very impressed. NICOLE Well, on that note, I have a date. With some wedding dresses. MR BANKS You know, the dress is the most important part. NICOLE Mm-hm. Mm-hm. Very nice to meet you, sir. Bye-bye. NICOLE Please pick up. Please pick up. Please pick up! MICHAEL Hello? NICOLE Michael! Thank goodness you picked up. It's Nicole. MICHAEL Who? NICOLE Nicole. Kim's assistant. We're planning a wedding together? MICHAEL That's funny. I was planning a wedding with someone named Nicole but we parted ways yesterday because she works better on her own. NICOLE About that... I'm sorry. I was way too... intense. MICHAEL It's okay. I get it. Doing a good job is important to you. NICOLE You have no idea. Are you free right now? Can we meet up? MICHAEL Yeah, I'm just at a coffee shop. I can send you the address. NICOLE Great. MICHAEL But you might have to wait until I finish a set, though. NICOLE A what? MICHAEL CHANSON I lose track of where you start And where I end Gotta confess I'd take time with you NICOLE Can I sit anywhere? MICHAEL CHANSON Over all of my friends They think they know best, but no What do they know about love? Everyone's got an opinion about us But my love, my love Might be broke But it's broken just right Our love, our love This is what it's supposed to look like Yeah-ah-ah-ah. MICHAEL Hey. NICOLE Whoo! MICHAEL Thank you. That was an obscure band out of Portland that I just learned about from a friend called Roadside Rescue. NICOLE That's me! I'm the friend. You remembered! MICHAEL I was curious what kind of music you listen to so I looked them up. NICOLE They're good, right? MICHAEL Yeah. NICOLE And you? I mean… You did an amazing job with their song. MICHAEL Well, thank you. NICOLE I can't believe you remembered. MICHAEL Just think of it as my way to apologize for messing up your schedule. NICOLE You were just trying to do something nice and...

MICHAEL Reception, first dance, menu, invitations, photographer, videographer NICOLE Okay, I get it. There is a boatload of stuff that we have to do. MICHAEL Wait we? NICOLE Look, I can organize the heck out of anything. But... I really need this wedding to be something special. MICHAEL And that's where I come in. You see, I bring the magic. NICOLE Well, I said special but if you need to use the term magic, then knock yourself out. MICHAEL Honestly, we're going to need a little bit more than just magic to pull this off. We're going to need a miracle. NICOLE We? MICHAEL Okay, yes. I will help you plan this wedding. NICOLE Great! Okay, here's what I have for a plan of attack. MICHAEL Ahhh. You made You made charts?

NICOLE Kim just wanted us to pull a few dresses for her. VICKY Hello. I'm Vicky. NICOLE Hi. I'm Nicole. We spoke on the phone earlier. VICKY Yes! Pulling a few designs for your boss. NICOLE Yeah. And this is Michael. MICHAEL Hi. NICOLE He's here to help. VICKY Excellent. Well, uh, before we get started, do you have any idea of what your boss is looking for? NICOLE Something pretty. VICKY Something pretty? NICOLE Yeah. With one of those long things at the back, you know? VICKY A train? NICOLE Yes, that's it. A train. VICKY The bride wants a train. NICOLE Yeah. Maybe. A really, really long one. Oh, and can you do pockets? VICKY So, your boss wants something pretty with a long train and pockets? NICOLE Yeah. I mean, that sounds like a pretty good place to start. VICKY And for the silhouette? NICOLE The silhouette? VICKY Well, what's her body type. NICOLE Kim's body type… MICHAEL Voluptuous? NICOLE Voluptuous. Yes! That's the word. VICKY So, no A-lines. Perhaps an empire? NICOLE Uh-huh. MICHAEL You're doing a great job, but do you mind if I take over from here? NICOLE Please. MICHAEL Yes, the bride is a bit voluptuous, so an empire would be great. Or maybe a trumpet fit and flare. NICOLE Oh, yes! The trumpet thing! She mentioned that. MICHAEL Great. So, we'll start with a trumpet fit and flare... I'm thinking scoop neck, sleeveless? VICKY Fabric? MICHAEL Jersey. Or chiffon. VICKY You really know your dresses. Let me guess three older sisters? MICHAEL Four. VICKY I think we may have something. Have a seat and I'll be right back. MICHAEL Oh, and, uh, let's hold off on the pockets, for now. NICOLE Ah! Fine. I like pockets. LINDA CHANSON I'm giving it all away tonight. I know when it's hard to find The words I need to write I know that trust is hard to find Just let me know How I could ease your troubled mind Look in my eyes You think you try a spark Giving all your love to me All I know is how it goes How I could change this melody To fit your clothes It might take a while Hang on I don't want the extra mile If it's a test Are you impressed? Can you open up your heart and renew NICOLE So... This is a ball gown. Whereas this one is a trumpet. VICKY And you can see how this one is fitted all the way down and then flares out around the knee. NICOLE Ah! Hence "fit and flare". VICKY Oh! Look at you picking up the lingo. NICOLE VICKY Try it on! I'll show you. NICOLE Oh, no. That's... That's not necessary. VICKY It'd be good for you to see what these dresses look like on people. NICOLE Really? VICKY It might help you to pick a better dress for your boss. They say the dress is the most important part of the wedding. NICOLE Okay. Yeah, I'll try some on. Quickly. MICHAEL Julie, I'm sorry! Something came up, okay? Yes, it was last minute. I'm really sorry that you feel that way. NICOLE Vicky? Vicky. I can't seem to do up this strap. MICHAEL Here, I I can help you with that. NICOLE I, uh, thought you were on the phone. MICHAEL I was. You look stunning. NICOLE Oh! Well, it is a very pretty dress, and I can see why most women like these things. MICHAEL The dress is okay, but... You? You make it sing. VICKY How are we making out in here? NICOLE We're not making out. MICHAEL VICKY I meant with the dress. NICOLE Oh! Um...? MICHAEL She looks beautiful. NICOLE Whew! Yep. Yeah, okay. So, we have two trumpet fit and flares and a more traditional empire, one of which she will probably take. MICHAEL Probably. NICOLE And... just in case she doesn't, we have a ball gown and a mini dress because, well, it's Kim. VICKY You guys have done a really good job. We'll put those aside for your boss and when she's ready, she can come by. NICOLE Thanks, Vicky. MICHAEL Okay! So, what's next on our schedule? NICOLE Oh! Our day is packed. We should probably get moving. MICHAEL Can you take care of the details here? I need to make a quick phone call. I'll meet you by the car? NICOLE Yeah. Thanks again, Vicky. Um, I was wanting to ask: do you ever do sales? VICKY No. NICOLE Hm. It's a good thing Kim's rich! MICHAEL CHANSON I lose track of where you start and where I end NICOLE Yep. MICHAEL CHANSON What do they know about love? Everyone's got an opinion about us MICHAEL What do you want to do? MICHAEL CHANSON But our love Our love Might be broke But it's broken just by And our love Our love This is what it's supposed to look like MICHAEL Mm, mm, mm, mm. Sure you don't want one? NICOLE I'll try one little MICHAEL Ah-ha. She's back. NICOLE One little bite. MICHAEL But would Kim like it? NICOLE I don't get it! NICOLE Hm. NICOLE I think this is the one. I think this is the one. MICHAEL This is the one. We have to book this place. I can't believe it's still available! NICOLE We need to book this. We need to book this. MICHAEL Okay. Keep your cool. We gotta negotiate a good price. NICOLE Okay. CRISSIE So, what do you two think? MICHAEL Meh. NICOLE Meh. MICHAEL I mean, it's kinda nice. I guess. NICOLE It could be, ah... Nicer. Or bigger. MICHAEL Right. Yeah, I don't know that this is going to really work. NICOLE Maybe if the price was good? CRISSIE Here's the price list. MICHAEL Ooh! Wow! Okay. NICOLE Yeah, we're going to need a little wiggle room if we're going to take it. CRISSIE I have two other parties interested in the space and they're looking at it this afternoon. NICOLE & MICHAEL We'll take it! MICHAEL Well, we did it. We got ourselves a venue. NICOLE One thing down. 927 more to go. MICHAEL Come on! Even you've got to be excited about this! NICOLE Trust me, I couldn't be happier. If I'd made one more mistake, think Kim might have fired me. MICHAEL You told Kim it was your fault we lost the first venue? NICOLE Yeah. MICHAEL Why? It was my mistake. NICOLE Look, she might be my boss, but you're going to be family. You don't want to start off on the wrong foot, right? MICHAEL Thanks. NICOLE I may not be the "free spirit" you are but I can still be pretty cool. MICHAEL So I'm starting to see. NICOLE So, why are you this... "free spirit"? MICHAEL Free spirit? NICOLE I was being polite. MICHAEL Thank you. MICHAEL Were your parents hippies? NICOLE Ah! MICHAEL I knew it! NICOLE No, the opposite actually. Corporate types. My whole family is. NICOLE Like your Uncle Bradley? Hm. So you were the black sheep from birth? MICHAEL No, I was a suit-and-tie guy, too. NICOLE What happened? MICHAEL Well, uh, when I was in college my dad got really sick... Passed away. NICOLE Michael, I'm sorry. I didn't MICHAEL It's okay. It was a long time ago. But it made me realize that life is short, you know? Can turn on a dime. NICOLE It's true. MICHAEL My entire family is CEO types, big-shot lawyers. Every time we have a family vacation it always turns into this competition about who's driving the more expensive car or who bought a vacation house where. NICOLE I can see how that would be annoying. MICHAEL But, as a kid, that's all I wanted. Suit, tie, briefcase. NICOLE And then your father passes away. MICHAEL And I realized that no matter how much money you make or however hard you work, it can all end in a second. So, why not have fun instead? NICOLE So, you started to look at things a little differently. MICHAEL Yeah. I picked up the guitar, started singing in public. Just doing all of the things that I always wanted to do but I was too scared to. NICOLE Well, you, uh, got pretty good at the singing part, too. MICHAEL Well, thank you. I want my life to be more about experiences than money. NICOLE So, is this where the idea of "Mr. Romance" came to be? MICHAEL No, uh, I've been a hopeless romantic since junior high. NICOLE Ah. MICHAEL You know, deep down, I think everybody is a romantic. NICOLE MICHAEL Yeah, present company included. NICOLE Really? MICHAEL Really. Sometimes you just have to dig a little deeper. NICOLE Oh! Bradley! BRADLEY Hi! Nicky. Hey, great job on the wedding venue. Kim and I love it. NICOLE Thanks. I'm happy to help. BRADLEY Is she around? NICOLE Uh... KIM If by "she" you mean your future wife, then "she" is right here. BRADLEY Pumpkin. KIM Sugar bear. Mwah. BRADLEY KIM Ah, Nicole, you know that Bradley and I have been so impressed with everything you've been able to accomplish. BRADLEY Especially on such short notice. NICOLE I feel like there's a "but" coming. BRADLEY No, we're really happy with everything so far. NICOLE Oh. KIM But... NICOLE Ah. KIM We would love to add one thing to your plate. NICOLE Oh! Okay. BRADLEY See, I told you she'd be fine. KIM Bradley and I would like you and Michael to plan a small little engagement party. NICOLE An engagement party? KIM Yeah. BRADLEY Yeah. Nothing crazy, just a few dozen family members. NICOLE Uh-huh. KIM Yeah, Bradley and I were hoping to get away without doing one, but a lot of family have been asking to meet before the big day. NICOLE Yeah. BRADLEY Again, nothing crazy. Maybe a private room at a really nice restaurant? NICOLE Okay. KIM Just close family and maybe a few executives from this firm? NICOLE Executives from this firm? BRADLEY Obviously, you and Michael would be invited, too, and I think you two should bring dates. NICOLE Oh. KIM Oh, Sugar Bear. Nicole doesn't do the dating scene. NICOLE Hm. BRADLEY Neither does Michael. NICOLE Really? KIM But he's so cute! BRADLEY Yeah, he's all about romance, but when it comes down to actually asking a woman out, he's, uh... No-such-luck. NICOLE Huh. KIM So, Nicole, do you think that this is something that you and Michael can pull off? NICOLE Oh! An engagement party? Ha-ha. That's no problem. KIM Great. BRADLEY Bam. Bam. Whoosh. NICOLE Bam? MICHAEL An engagement party? That's crazy. NICOLE I know, but they really want it and I can't let Kim down. MICHAEL I know a few restaurants I can reach out to. Leave it to me. NICOLE Great. Michael, I would not be able to pull this off without you. I... I owe you one. MICHAEL Well, actually, I was about to give you a call. NICOLE Yeah. What's up? MICHAEL I need a favour. NICOLE Oh. Sure. Anything. MICHAEL You're not going to like it. NICOLE Come on. Come on. Yes. Yes. Come on. No! Don't eat that. All right, let's go this way. Come on. MICHAEL NICOLE Come on, Corgi. MICHAEL Now, this is a sight to see. I feel like I should take a picture. NICOLE Don't you dare. MICHAEL I thought you didn't like dogs? NICOLE I'm warming up to them. I think, uh... I think Thorgi likes me. MICHAEL Thorgi is a good judge of character. I really appreciate this. Thank you. NICOLE You owe me big time. MICHAEL I just had a meeting with a club owner. They want to hire me to play two nights a week. NICOLE Oh, my gosh! That's amazing! Congratulations. MICHAEL Thank you. There's record executives in there all the time. Like, this could turn into something really big for me. NICOLE I'm so happy for you! NICOLE MICHAEL Oh, we're doing that? NICOLE MICHAEL Okay, well, I couldn't have done it without you. NICOLE Well, I wouldn't be pulling off this wedding stuff if it wasn't for you, so we're even. MICHAEL Still, I know you don't love dogs, so I feel like, maybe, I owe you dinner or something? NICOLE Dinner like a... Like a date? But I I thought you and your ex were...? MICHAEL We tried. It's not going to happen. NICOLE How could it not work out? You are such an amazing guy. MICHAEL Thank you. But I could say the same for you. NICOLE What do you mean? MICHAEL Well, we've been working together on this wedding for a while now and, I don't know, from my perspective, you are... you're smart, you're funny, you're beautiful, you're passionate about your work. NICOLE Guilty as charged. MICHAEL So... What's the deal with you not having a boyfriend? NICOLE I don't know. MICHAEL I mean, other than you're dislike of dogs, I can't see anything wrong with you. NICOLE I wasn't always Miss Grumpy Pants about romance. I just thought my last boyfriend was "the one", you know? MICHAEL I know the feeling, sure. NICOLE But when I'd ask him about our future together, he'd... always say he wasn't ready to get married, and... MICHAEL And? NICOLE Well, the break-up crushed me. I'd always pictured us getting married, buying a house, having kids. You know, the whole nine yards. MICHAEL Okay, but, I mean, everybody has bad break-ups. It's no reason to turn your back on love. NICOLE Well… Like a month after we broke up, I saw that he was engaged to his ex. MICHAEL Ah. NICOLE So, it wasn't that he didn't want to get married. It's just that he didn't want to get married to me. MICHAEL I'm sorry. Wow. So, I guess planning a wedding wasn't exactly on the top of your to-do list? NICOLE No, it wasn't. MICHAEL There it is. NICOLE What? MICHAEL Your laugh. I love it when I make you laugh. NICOLE Um... So, Kim and Bradley's engagement party? MICHAEL Yes, the engagement party. Uh, so come on, guys I called... I called a couple of places. What I found out is that there are a million people trying to get space right now, but we have a good shot... NICOLE Oh, yeah? MICHAEL 'Cause Kim has a lot of money. NICOLE MICHAEL And they like money. NICOLE They do. They do. MICHAEL That's generally the way it works. Yeah, so, we'll see. Money makes the world go 'round, right? MAGGIE Hey! NICOLE Hey! MAGGIE How's the wedding stuff going? NICOLE Good. We found a venue, we locked down a bunch of vendors cake, flowers, DJ. And I even walked Michael's dogs for him. MAGGIE But you hate dogs? NICOLE I know, but he needed a favour. MAGGIE So, team Nicole and Michael seems to be working out? NICOLE Oh, I could not have done this without Michael. MAGGIE What was that? NICOLE What? MAGGIE You just smiled and tucked your hair behind your ear when you said Michael. You only do that when you like people. You like Michael? NICOLE What? No! No, I don't. Don't be weird. MAGGIE Me weird? You're weird. NICOLE You're having marshmallows for dinner. MAGGIE Okay, don't change the subject. Do you like Michael? No, we're just... Wedding planning buddies. MAGGIE Huh. NICOLE Huh, what? MAGGIE Nothing. Just curious. You said "buddies", not "friends". NICOLE So? MAGGIE Well, most people would have said "friends", not "buddies". NICOLE Oh, eat your marshmallows! MAGGIE I'm just wondering if you're not trying to friend-zone this guy. NICOLE Well, what's wrong with having male friends? MAGGIE Nothing. So long as it doesn't prevent you from finding a boyfriend. NICOLE Michael's just a really nice guy. MAGGIE You just did it again! NICOLE Oh! So? MAGGIE But wait, I thought he was trying to get back together with his ex? NICOLE Hm. Yes, yes, yes. That did not work out. MAGGIE You like him. NICOLE NICOLE Ah! There you are. What are you doing? People are starting to get here. MICHAEL Um... Just, um... NICOLE Whoa! Why do you look so nervous? MICHAEL I'm fine. NICOLE Wait, is there Is there a problem I should know about? MICHAEL No, I'm good. I'm good. NICOLE Did we forget to order dessert? MICHAEL No. Dessert is here. NICOLE So, what's up? MICHAEL It's just... My family... NICOLE Well, they should be arriving any minute. MICHAEL That's the problem! I don't do well with family get-togethers. At least, not when it's my own family. NICOLE I know family can be difficult. MICHAEL They're just, they're so successful. And I'm... NICOLE Amazing. Listen, I've had to spend a lot of time with you these last few days and you are... a really amazing guy. MICHAEL You hated me the first time that we met. NICOLE Oh, first impressions don't count. MICHAEL Really? NICOLE Well, maybe most of them do, but not this one. MICHAEL NICOLE Seriously, do you not see what a great person you are? MICHAEL Yeah. You know, you're right. NICOLE Hm. MICHAEL Besides, they're all on their third marriage, anyway, so what do they know, right? NICOLE Well, I know that you are the guy who helped me pick out a wedding dress the day after I yelled at him. MICHAEL True. NICOLE The dress, the cake, the flowers... All the things that people are going to really love, I mean, that's all you. You really helped me. And Kim, by the way, through all of this. MICHAEL Thank you. NICOLE So, let's get out there and give them the old whap-ah! one, two punch. MICHAEL Ha! Okay. NICOLE Go! MICHAEL All right. Thank you. NICOLE I'm going to go. MICHAEL I will be right behind you. NICOLE Ooh! MICHAEL Look out. NICOLE Oh! That-a-way! MICHAEL NICOLE Hi. You are doing a horrible job at trying to hide. MICHAEL Maybe if I go hide in the bathroom? NICOLE They'll find you. MICHAEL I meant the bathroom in my apartment. NICOLE See, just go take that wit and humour and go talk to somebody. NICOLE Nope. NICOLE Uhh! Well, I've talked to a bunch of your family and they seem nice. TREVOR Hey, Mikey! How the heck are you? MICHAEL Uncle Trevor. I'm good. This is Nicole. Nicole, this is Bradley's brother, Trevor. NICOLE It is so nice to meet you. TREVOR She your girlfriend? MICHAEL No, we're just friends. NICOLE TREVOR And work? You're still playing guitar in subway stations for pocket change? MICHAEL I also get free coffee when I work at coffee shops. NICOLE TREVOR Why don't you just come and work for me? MICHAEL I already have a job. NICOLE He is, actually, an amazing musician. You know, he just booked a gig- MICHAEL It's okay, Nicole. TREVOR What time is it? Oh! Here... Let's have a look at my really expensive watch. Will you look at that? It's time for someone to grow up. NICOLE Hey, I will tell you something, sir- MICHAEL Nicole, it is okay. TREVOR I'm going to say hi to your cousins. The wife and I bought a cottage this summer and, uh, I'm going to go tell them about it. NICOLE Hm. So, you're Uncle Trevor's a jerk. MICHAEL Thank you for trying to stick up for me but it's just not worth it. Trust me. NICOLE Let's mingle. MICHAEL You know, I think I'm going to go get some fresh air. KIM Nicole. You remember MR BANKS. NICOLE Yes. MR BANKS, it's so good to see you again. MR BANKS You as well, Nicole. Kim tells me things are coming along swimmingly. NICOLE Oh. Yes, sir. KIM Nonsense. Nicole here is being humble. Bradley and I wouldn't be able to put any of this together without her help. MR BANKS Very impressive. You know, we have a promotion coming up soon. We always want to add new people to our team. NICOLE Well, I mean... I would love an opportunity to prove myself, MR BANKS. KIM Well, maybe we should all sit down some time and discuss it? MR BANKS Sounds good. NICOLE Sounds Good. KIM Let me introduce you to some of my future in-laws. NICOLE Thank you. BRADLEY Don't be silly. We'll still be able see each other. Of course. Just not as much. Honey Bunny, you are the most important woman in the world to me. Hey, I told you it's a different kind of love with Kim. It's true. I will always love you. It'll just be a few weeks until things settle and then we can plan our next secret adventure. Anywhere you want to meet, Honey Bunny. Of course. I promise. I love you. NICOLE Okay. Yes. Can't talk now, Trevor! Michael! MICHAEL Hey, there you are. I was looking for you. NICOLE Michael, I need to talk to you. MICHAEL Can it wait until tomorrow? I gotta drive a couple people home. NICOLE No, I need to talk to you now. MICHAEL What's up? KIM Hey, you two. I just wanted to thank you again for a lovely evening. MICHAEL It was our pleasure. NICOLE Yeah. Happy to help. KIM Michael, I think I'm going to fit in so well with your family. MICHAEL They all love you. KIM Are you leaving? MICHAEL Yeah, I have to drive a couple people home. KIM Oh, but you're staying? NICOLE Yeah. Yeah. KIM Great. MICHAEL Oh, there was something you wanted to talk to me about? NICOLE Nope. Uh, nothing important. We can talk about it tomorrow. MICHAEL Okay. Are you sure? It seemed pretty important. KIM Is everything okay? NICOLE Yeah. Everything is great. Uh, it's just one little, teensy, weensy, little... detail. MICHAEL Okay, great. So give me a call tomorrow, all right? NICOLE Yeah. KIM Thank you. MICHAEL Congrats, Kim. KIM And there is my handsome fiancé. BRADLEY Ladies. KIM Mm. Isn't he amazing? NICOLE Yeah. Amazing! MICHAEL Are you sure? NICOLE Yes! MICHAEL Are you absolutely sure? NICOLE Yes! MICHAEL Are you positive, 'cause NICOLE No. Well, yes! I know what I heard. Last night your uncle told another woman that he loved her. MICHAEL But you didn't see this woman? NICOLE Well, he was on the phone. But I heard him call her "Honey Bunny." And they talked about secret meetings. NICOLE & MICHAEL MICHAEL Come on, Bradley. The one uncle I actually looked up to. NICOLE And everybody asks me why I'm so cynical about love. I mean, huh! MICHAEL This is horrible. I will talk to Bradley. You need to tell Kim. NICOLE I know. But... MICHAEL What? NICOLE But she is so happy. And our boss, MR BANKS? He seems to be really impressed with all the work I've been we've been doing, putting this wedding together so quickly. MICHAEL So? NICOLE Well, he alluded to the idea that I might be up for a promotion. And if I tell Kim now that her fiancé is cheating on her, I mean... That'll ruin everything. MICHAEL Bradley cheating on Kim is ruining everything. This isn't on you. You're going to put off telling your friend NICOLE My boss. MICHAEL You're not going to tell her because you think it might jeopardise your chances at a promotion? Nicole. Okay. I will tell Kim. She's my family, after all. NICOLE Wait, Michael... It'll just be worse coming from you. I'm the one that overheard the call. I should be the one to tell her. Promise me you won't talk to your uncle? MICHAEL Sure. Whatever. NICOLE Just give me a few days and I will figure everything out. MICHAEL Look, I get that you're this super-cynical person when it comes to romance and marriage. And maybe the idea of someone cheating on their fiancé days before their wedding is a reason to justify continuing to feel that way. NICOLE Michael. MICHAEL But for the rest of us, this is important. Marriage, romance. Love? These things do exist, Nicole, whether you want to believe in them or not. NICOLE Or maybe I was right to be skeptical all these years. Maybe we live in a world where "true love" just doesn't exist? MICHAEL People fall in love, Nicole. NICOLE Yeah, well, prove it. MICHAEL Up until five minutes ago I thought I was falling in love with you. NICOLE Michael, I... I am going to fix this. I will tell her. I promise. Just give me a few days. MICHAEL Cool. I'll hold off on talking to Bradley until you tell Kim. I really hope you make the right decision, Nicole. NICOLE MAGGIE He said he was in love with you? NICOLE He said he was falling in love with me, but he hadn't fallen. MAGGIE And now? NICOLE He's not picking up his phone or answering his texts. MAGGIE So what are you going to do? NICOLE I mean, he's right. I need to tell Kim. But she's so... happy. And then there's this promotion and... I just need some time to work something out. Maybe Kim will figure out that Bradley's cheating on her own? MAGGIE Nicole... NICOLE I'll figure it out. I always do. MAGGIE And Michael? NICOLE Well, apparently, he's not my biggest fan right now. But there's only a few things left to take care of before the wedding and... I'll handle them on my own. MAGGIE This thing with you and Michael stopped being about wedding planning a long time ago. He said he was falling in love with you? NICOLE Yeah. Well, it doesn't really matter anymore, does it? MAGGIE Unless... you were falling for him, too. NICOLE NICOLE Kim? Hi, MR BANKS. Kim... Can I talk to You about something, privately, for a moment? Maybe in your office? KIM Perfect timing, Nicole, because there is something that I would like to talk to you about, as well. NICOLE Okay. Look, the thing is I KIM You got the promotion! MR BANKS Congratulations. NICOLE KIM You earned this, Nicole. Your attention to detail, your meticulous planning, your teamwork. You have done so much for this company. And, on a personal note, you've done so much for Bradley and I. This wedding is going to be the best day of my life. And I owe it all to you. Thank you. NICOLE I, um... I don't know what to say. KIM I am so happy right now. I'm sorry. What-what is it that you wanted to talk to me about? NICOLE Um... It can wait. KIM NICOLE MICHAEL Congratulations. NICOLE Michael. MICHAEL I hear you got a promotion. NICOLE Michael, I MICHAEL It's okay. I get it. NICOLE I really wanted to tell Kim. But I kept putting it off and putting it off and uh! She is so happy. MICHAEL Huh. NICOLE And now, here we are. What do I do? MICHAEL On the day she's getting married? NICOLE Exactly. MICHAEL To a man who's cheating on her. NICOLE Sh-sh-sh! Sh-sh-sh-sh! Someone could hear you. MICHAEL So long as Kim doesn't, you'll still get your promotion. NICOLE Uh! Michael... I get that you think I'm this horrible person. MICHAEL That's just it. I I know you're an amazing person. You're one of the most amazing people I have ever met. That's the problem. NICOLE The problem? MICHAEL If you had just been a jerk this whole time and not this smart, funny, incredible woman, this wouldn't be so hard. NICOLE What wouldn't be so hard? MICHAEL Seeing a really good person make a really bad decision. Look, I'm sorry that the the romance gods haven't been kinder to Nicole Waters. I really am. But I started to think maybe there was a good reason for it. NICOLE Wait. You think I've spent all these years having bad luck at love for a good reason? What reason would that be? MICHAEL So you'd still be single by the time we got a chance to meet in the park that day. I'm going to go check on the reception area. Everything here looks to be about as good as it can be. NICOLE MARVIN You look beautiful. NICOLE Kim! You look amazing. KIM Thank you. Nicole, this place is beautiful. You and Michael did such a great job finding it. NICOLE You deserve it. KIM Do you remember my parents, Kathleen and Marvin? NICOLE Of course I do. It's nice to see you both again. KIM So, how's the wedding area looking? NICOLE They're just putting the finishing touches on it now. KIM And the officiant? NICOLE I spoke to him a few minutes ago. He should be here any moment. KIM And what about the reception area? NICOLE The tent went up last night and they're just setting up the tables and place settings. KIM Oh! And what about KATHLEEN Kim, darling, this young lady has everything under control.
