So You Said Yes

[ORLEAN'S "STILL THE ONE" PLAYS]

HI.

SORRY I'M LATE.

I HAD THE NIGHTMARE AGAIN AND OVERSLEPT.

OH, "THE MARCH OF THE BRIDAL MERINGUES" ONE?

YES. PROMISE ME

IF I EVER TRY TO SELL A WOMAN

A WEDDING DRESS COVERED WITH PEARLS,

YOU WILL STAGE AN INTERVENTION.

DONE.

OH! HEY, MY NIECE GAVE ME THIS LAST NIGHT.

SHE SAID IT WILL

BRING YOU GOOD LUCK WHEN YOU OPEN.

I WILL TAKE ALL THE LUCK I CAN GET.

OH, I DROVE BY

THAT OTHER WEDDING STORE THIS MORNING.

DID YOU SEE THEIR WINDOW DISPLAY?

I DID.

THE BEADING ON THAT DRESS MUST WEIGH AT LEAST 200 POUNDS.

I WONDER HOW THAT OWNER'S GONNA REACT WHEN YOU OPEN.

OH, SHE'LL BE FINE.

I'M NOT TRYING TO TAKE BUSINESS AWAY FROM HER.

I'M JUST PROVIDING WOMEN AN ALTERNATIVE

TO THE TRADITIONAL COOKIE-CUTTER STUFF.

LET'S JUST HOPE

THAT, IF WE BUILD IT...

THEY WILL COME.

OH!

IT'S PERFECT.

OH, I'M SO GLAD YOU THINK SO.

I FEEL EXACTLY THE SAME WAY.

EXCEPT FOR THE NECKLINE.

I WAS JUST GOING TO SAY, EXCEPT FOR THE NECKLINE.

UM, I DEFINITELY AGREE IT NEEDS TO BE... RAISED.

LOWERED.

LOWERED! AN INCH?

HALF AN INCH.

AND THE SHOES.

SEVEN AND A HALF NARROW?

EXACTLY.

WELL, THEY DON'T CALL HER

THE "BRIDE WHISPERER" FOR NOTHING.

NO...

MOM?

MM?

I KIND OF WANT TO HOLD OFF A MOMENT.

OH, HONEY, HONEY.

WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?

WE'VE WAITED SIX MONTHS FOR THIS APPOINTMENT,

AND YOU HEARD WHAT MRS. TAYLOR SAID--

YOU LOOK... BEAUTIFUL.

THE DRESS IS PERFECT.

IT'S BEAUTIFUL,

BUT I KIND OF WANT TO CHECK OUT THAT NEW PLACE.

"SO YOU SAID YES"?

OH, YOU DON'T WANT TO DO THAT.

I SAW ON TWITTER

THAT THEY'RE HAVING THEIR GRAND-OPENING PARTY TUESDAY.

THE OWNER'S TWEETS ARE HYSTERICAL.

PLEASE?

I THINK, UH, THESE ARE THE ONES.

OH...

I, UM,

JUST REMEMBERED--

I THINK THERE IS SOMEWHERE THAT WE NEED TO BE,

BUT I'M SURE WE WILL BE BACK.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH.

THAT'S A REALLY NICE SET-UP

YOU GOT THERE WITH THE SHOP, KIDDO.

I'M PROUD OF YOU.

THANKS, DAD.

YOU OBVIOUSLY GOT

ALL YOUR LOVE FOR WEDDINGS FROM ME.

WELL, YOU DID HAVE THREE OF THEM.

YEAH, AND THEY WERE ALL A BLAST.

IT WAS THE MARRIAGE PART THAT WAS TOUGH.

OTHER THAN THE ONE WITH YOUR MOTHER,

REST HER SOUL.

YOU KNOW, YOU...

YOU LOOK MORE LIKE HER EVERY DAY.

I SURE WISH SHE COULD SEE THIS.

ME TOO.

SO YOU-- YOU READY TO OPEN TOMORROW?

I THINK SO.

I AM SORRY,

BUT I'VE HAD THIS FLORIDA TRIP

PLANNED FOR A WHILE.

YOU GONNA BRING A DATE?

DAD, IT'S A NEW BUSINESS.

ONCE IT'S UP AND RUNNING, I PROMISE, I WILL--

I WILL PAY ATTENTION TO MY PERSONAL LIFE.

HONEY...

OBVIOUSLY, ALL YOUR HARD WORK AND SUCCESS AT THE AD AGENCY

ALLOWED YOU TO FINALLY WALK AWAY

TO FULFIL YOUR DREAM OF OPENING YOUR SHOP,

BUT...

YOU CAN'T KEEP HIDING YOURSELF BEHIND WORK FOREVER.

AND THAT'S... THE END OF MY LECTURE.

GOOD.

BECAUSE ONE SERIAL-DATER IN THE FAMILY IS ENOUGH.

TOUCHE.

YOU WERE RIGHT, ANNABELLE.

THIS IS THE PERFECT DRESS.

WHO'S THAT?

: OH, THAT'S HERA.

SHE WAS THE GREEK GODDESS OF MARRIAGE.

SHE WAS MARRIED TO ZEUS,

WHICH MAKES HER THE QUEEN OF ALL WIVES.

I FOUND HER ON MY LAST THRIFT STORE RUN.

AND THIS IS THE PERFECT HAT.

OH, I'M SO GLAD YOU'RE HERE.

EVERY TIME I WALKED INTO "EVER AFTER,"

I WOULD BREAK OUT INTO HIVES JUST LOOKING AT THE TULLE.

WELL, I'M HAPPY TO REPORT

THAT HERE, AT "SO YOU SAID YES," WE ARE 100% TULLE-FREE.

I JUST HOPE I ACTUALLY GET TO WEAR IT.

OH, REMEMBER, WE'VE TALKED ABOUT THIS, OKAY?

JUST BECAUSE YOUR FIANCE

WANTS TO SPEND YOUR HONEYMOON SOMEWHERE HE CAN GOLF

DOES NOT MEAN THAT YOUR MARRIAGE

IS HEADED DOWNHILL BEFORE IT'S EVEN STARTED.

YOU'RE RIGHT.

I'M DOING THE GLASS-HALF-EMPTY THING AGAIN.

LET'S TALK ABOUT YOUR CHILDHOOD.

IS THAT WHEN THAT STARTED?

MAYA'S GETTING

HER MASTER'S IN PSYCHOLOGY,

AND THAT IS WHY

RATHER THAN PRACTICING ON THE CUSTOMERS.

EXCUSE ME?

OH! UH, SHE'S IN THE DRESSING ROOM.

IT'S REALLY GOOD THAT YOU DIDN'T SEE HER IN HER DRESS.

BY THE WAY, YOU MIGHT WANT TO NIX THE GOLFING

ON YOUR HONEYMOON.

WELL, I JUST CAME IN--

OBVIOUSLY, THE KEY TO A GOOD RELATIONSHIP

IS BOTH PARTNERS MAINTAINING INDIVIDUAL INTERESTS

IN ADDITION TO WHAT THEY SHARE TOGETHER,

BUT IN THIS CASE, SHE'S FEELING A LITTLE...

FRAGILE.

-I THOUGHT THAT MAYBE-- I WOULD THINK ABOUT--

...THINGS THAT YOU COULD DO TOGETHER ON YOUR HONEYMOON

RATHER THAN PLAYING A ROUND OF 24 HOLES ON THE GOLF COURSE.

- - MY CAR!

THAT'S WHY I CAME IN.

IF YOU HURRY, YOU MIGHT BE ABLE TO FIND OUT

WHICH IMPOUND LOT HE'S TAKING IT TO...

: AHH...

SORRY ABOUT YOUR CAR.

I'M SAM.

IT WAS NICE LISTENING TO YOU,

BUT I'VE GOT A VERY IMPORTANT MEETING,

WITH A GOLF BALL.

OH, AND BY THE WAY?

A ROUND IS 18, NOT 24.

OOPS. SORRY, LADIES.

HI, STEVEN. HEY!

-HI, SAM! -OH, HI!

IF IT ISN'T WOODSON FALLS' MOST TALENTED GARDENER.

YOU KNOW, NO ONE CAN GROW AN ORCHID

LIKE YOU, BEVERLY.

AW, YOU'RE A CHARMER, SAM.

SO HOW WAS YOUR DATE

WITH PATRICIA JENKINS'S NIECE?

IT WAS GOOD. SHE'S VERY NICE.

ISN'T THAT A GOOD THING?

IT IS. SHE JUST ISN'T FOR ME.

ARE YOU GOING GOLFING?

I AM, AND I GOTTA RUN. NICE TO SEE YOU.

WELL, IF-IF YOU'RE NOT INTERESTED

IN PATRICIA'S NIECE,

CAN I FIX YOU UP WITH MY DENTIST?

OKAY, OUR FACEBOOK "LIKES" ARE UP TO 775.

THE MASSEUSE IS SET 00 A.M. ON MONDAY.

THE GROUPON GOES OUT TOMORROW,

AND YOU ARE GUESTBLOGGING

OH, THE TRAFFIC ON THAT SITE'S AMAZING, BY THE WAY.

[BUSTLING BACKGROUND CHATTER]

HI. DO YOU MIND IF I SIT HERE?

THERE'S NO OTHER TABLES.

THANKS.

YOU KNOW, YOU COULD'VE

STOPPED ME THE OTHER DAY,

RATHER THAN LET ME JUST CARRY ON,

LIKE A FOOL.

OH, YEAH, I WOULD HAVE,

BUT I JUST COULDN'T GET A WORD IN.

HERE, HAVE SOME.

CONSIDER IT A PEACE OFFERING.

WELL, THANKS, BUT I DON'T EAT SWEETS.

WELL, IT'S FRUIT.

IT'S JUST IN THE FORM OF A CAKE.

I'LL BUY YOU ANOTHER ONE.

IT'S JUST THE STRESS OF OPENING A BUSINESS.

"MATRIMONY" IS "T-R-I," NOT "T-R-E."

OH, WELL, THAT HAPPENS TO BE THE FRENCH SPELLING.
