The first 200 lines.
I'm in the business of love.
Which is a pretty good business when you think about it.
Bright-eyed couples, gushing with hope,
come to me because they've found someone who makes them so happy
that they've decided to spend the rest of their lives together.
And it's my duty as a wedding planner
to make their wedding days even more wonderful
than they could have imagined.
Currently, I am planning my cousin Emily's Christmas Eve wedding,
and as you can see, the stress meter has passed a thousand.
That's... that's not me.
Whoa!
That's me.
Sorry. I...
My purse broke, and I'm already late.
You don't care.
- Why am I telling you? - No.
And this is how I started planning the most insane wedding ever.
Just some minor mishaps. Explain later.
Just picking up the final touch to make this morning perfect.
I'll admit, this is my first real wedding,
and I need to avoid all distractions.
Umph!
- You... - Sorry. What?
Are you OK?
Distraction.
Yes. Sorry, it was my fault.
I should have been paying attention to where I was going.
After you.
Hi there. Welcome to Cheery Beans
where our coffee will leave you with a smile.
May I get you one of our seasonal coffees?
After you. It's the least I can do.
You sure?
- Yup. - Thanks.
- Hey there. - Welcome to Cheery Beans
where our coffee will leave you with a smile.
May I get you one of our seasonal delights?
You got to say that every time, huh?
OK. Yeah, I'll get twelve coffees, cream and sugar on the side,
twelve muffins and one of your famous blueberry scones.
Thanks.
- Hey. - Hey.
What do you think about a snowflake ice sculpture?
That goes with my whole Winter Bliss theme, right?
Yeah, I can look into it.
OK, yeah, and see if they make silver ice.
OK, I'll talk to you later.
Hello.
I'm hearing talk of ice sculptures.
We are not hosting a wedding on a cruise ship.
Please see that this does not happen.
Yup.
OK, no problem.
OK, see you later. OK, bye.
Now, don't you try and drink all these yourself.
I'll try not to.
Thanks, pal.
Thanks for letting me go ahead.
No problem.
- Hi... - Welcome to Cheery Beans
where our coffee will leave you with...
It's... It's OK, I was here the first two times you said it.
Can I please have one blueberry scone?
I'm so sorry.
I just sold the last one to that handsome gentleman.
What? Really?
We have a delicious cheddar and chive
or a seasonal white chocolate and cranberry.
You don't understand. I need a blueberry scone.
I can get you a blueberry muffin?
I am a fierce warrior.
Hi. Excuse me.
Hi.
Hi....
I was over there and I was trying to buy one of the blueberry scones...
They make the best in town.
Yeah, right, except you bought the last one.
OK, see, it's... its not for me.
And a therapist might say that I'm, trying to buy someone's love,
which may or may not be true.
Either way...
I need that scone and I would love to buy it from you,
and I will pay you double.
Yes!
You know, I'm really sorry. I can't.
Triple.
Not possible.
OK.
I will give you...
seven dollars and this... gift card to, I don't know where.
But, yeah, you can have the money and the mystery card for the scone.
What do you say?
I really wish I could. I'm sorry.
Excuse me.
Thanks.
I have a plain scone
and blueberries from my lunch.
I'm well on my way to destroying my business
before it even starts.
Step one,
arrive late at an engagement party that I am throwing.
Step two,
do not acquire a blueberry scone for sucking up.
Step three, fail miserably, buy cats, spend the rest of my life
shopping from television in middle of the night.
Ha.
Here goes everything.
Love you muchly.
Kelsey! Kelsey!
Hi.
My cousin Emily.
The sweetest woman on the planet,
and the closest thing I've ever had to a sister.
Stunning, rich and oozing kindness.
I should probably hate her, but... it's impossible.
- Emily, you look incredible! - Thank you.
- Why are we whispering? - Because no one's seen me yet
and I want to make an entrance.
Go in and announce me.
You're so funny. OK, go in there and wait.
OK. Quick!
Hello, Aunt Olivia. Sorry, I'm late.
Tardiness does not suit a new business.
Aunt Olivia.
The very definition of rich and powerful.
And the closest thing I have to a role model.
I know, I'm... I'm sorry.
My purse broke on me,
and then I tried to get you the blueberry scone...
Nobody appreciates the charming tales of your mishaps more than I do,
but it is time to greet our guests.
Absolutely, I agree.
And I assume everything else is in order?
One hundred percent.
The dress fitting is scheduled for Tuesday.
We are set to bake the cookie giveaway with my friend Sharl, the baker.
I am prepping for the bachelorette party
and I'm finalizing with the caterer on Sunday.
- Well done, Kelsey. - Thank you.
I took the liberty of inviting Marianne Kemp
to do a piece on Emily's wedding.
And despite my distaste for the woman,
if you impress her, it's safe to say that your business will flourish.
Thank you. That is, that's so nice of you.
And I promise I won't disappoint you.
You never do.
The rare Aunt Olivia compliment.
Except for that blueberry scone.
- There it goes. - Thank you.
I tried to get...
Luckily, someone else brought one.
Who?
Hi.
This looks so great.
Hello, everyone.
I would like to thank you all for joining us this morning.
We will be making a formal announcement in a little bit, but for now
I would like to present to you, the bride-to-be, Miss Emily Wilson.
Thank you for that, Kelsey.
It was so kind and unexpected.
How was the scone?
It wasn't for me.
It's her favorite.
Is that some sort of lucky guess?
No, I did my research.
It's part of my job, Kelsey.
So you knew who I was?
Well, not for sure.
I, I saw some pictures. Old ones.
What did you say your name was again?
I didn't.
- Emily, you look incredible. - Hi.
Please, I completely forgot this was happening today.
So you two have met?
Yeah. Yeah, we met this morning at the coffee shop.
She has seven dollars.
Yes, I do.
Kelsey. A moment.
Excuse me.
So... this is happening.
I want to introduce you to Marianne Kemp.
Charmed.
Pleasure to meet you.
Kelsey is quite a firecracker.
She just started her own wedding planning business
and she is doing Emily's wedding.
You're a very brave entrepreneur.
Throwing your first wedding for your own family.
You're gonna need a lot of luck.
Well, I believe the harder I work, the luckier I'll be.
That's the small business spirit I like to see.
Now, Olivia told me that the ceremony is gonna be quite exclusive.
Yes, immediate family only. Followed by a grand reception.
Tell me you have a great photographer.
Only the best.
Talented, artistic and a very impressive portfolio.
Do I know him?
Great.
So give me the photos as soon as the wedding is over,
No comments yet. Be the first to leave one.
