Marry Me at Christmas

Why does it seem like

we have more and more Christmas decorations

every single year?

Because they're pretty.

You love Christmas just as much as you did when you were a kid.

Well, that's because there is no better place

for it than Fool's Gold.

Year after year...

What's wrong?

It's just "year after year"

isn't a guarantee anymore, Maddie.

I mean, we don't even know

if we can stay open past January first,

when the rent goes up.

Iz, we're expanding the store

to jewelry and accessories,

and you're doing more social media.

What if it doesn't make up the difference?

We will have no choice but to close the store.

Let's finish decorating,

and then we can

brainstorm ways to bring in more income.

Yes! Thank you.

Mm-hmm.

I love Fool's Gold at Christmastime.

Look how beautiful it is.

Isn't it magical?

It's my favorite time of year.

Hey, Daddy.

Hey, kiddo!

Hey, Maddie!

All done decorating the shop?

Almost, except a couple of strands of lights.

Do you have any to spare?

Yeah! Of course.

Hey, you know what you may want to try?

Syncing up the lights to music.

I'm not sure we have that in the budget, Daddy.

Yeah.

Maybe next year.

I'm sure everything's gonna work out just fine

at the store, honey.

I am doing everything I can to make that happen.

Please stop being so adorable.

Oh, you're gonna find your "adorable"

one of these days, honey.

You just have to get out there, you know?

It has been three years since Ted left.

Loretta!

Please don't go there, Mom.

I'm just saying.

I know what you're saying,

but you know what I'd really love for Christmas?

Yeah, your mom not "just saying" anything else?

Tch! We have a winner.

Yeah. Ding-ding-ding.

: Hi. Welcome to Paper Moon.

Hi.

Whoa...

That's a lot of poof.

We also carry a wide selection of "poofless" options.

Do you have an "express" section?

Well, every dress needs to be altered to fit you perfectly,

but we can make that happen.

When's your big day?

Christmas Eve.

Okay, that's... soon.

I know. It's not enough time, right?

It's plenty of time.

I'm Maddie, by the way.

Ginger Blake. And this is my fiancé, Oliver.

Hi.

Hi.

We just found out that Oliver got accepted

to a medical residency program in London.

We want to get married before we go.

Congratulations. What's your specialty in?

Cardiothoracic surgery.

I'm a heart guy.

Okay.

Where's your ceremony being held?

Right here in Fool's Gold.

I designed the town's website a few months ago,

and just fell madly in love with the place.

That happens a lot.

And since I'm back in town to help Mayor Marsha

with all the website's Christmas content...

And I have a month off before my program starts...

We thought we could do everything here at once.

I can work, Oliver can study,

and we can plan our wedding.

Oh, sounds like you two have it all figured out.

Yep!

Okay, no.

I need help. So much help.

Give me a minute.

How does 11:00 a.m. tomorrow sound?

Thank you.

No problem.

Johnny! Over here.

Hey, Barb.

Oh, how's my favorite... ...client?

Good.

So, what'd you want to talk about?

Wait!

Before you answer...

here is the script

for Fire's Edge 3.

Uh...

I, uh...

I wanted to talk about--

Hi.

Hello.

: So? You were saying?

Oh, right. Your next project.

You are holding it in your hands.

Barb, about Fire's Edge...

I'll have to read it later.

I'm heading out of town first thing in the morning.

Johnny, you've got a photo shoot tomorrow,

and a meeting with

the Fire's Edge director.

I'm sorry, but I need some time to get away from all this.

I'll buy you a massage.

Barb, this is important.

So is this movie!

I actually never said I wanted to do another Fire's Edge.

Oh, Johnny.

It's a small town

in the Northern Californian mountains

called Fool's Gold.

I already had your assistant rent me a house up there.

What? No, no, no, no.

Johnny, this is not a good time to leave.

-I'll call you. -No. Johnny? Johnny!

Good talk, Barb.

Johnny! Can I get your autograph?

: Ginger! Hi.

: Oh, hey!

I was just gonna get a peppermint mocha

and take a little walk before our appointment.

I was about to do the exact same thing.

Oh, there's nothing better

than Main Street at Christmas.

Hey! Are we waiting for anyone?

Your mom, or a sister?

Nope. It's just me today.

Okay, well, let's talk about

what you were thinking for a dress.

Already established nothing too poofy.

Or frilly. Or blingy.

You want refined.

You want elegant.

You want--

Gingerbread!

What?

Ah. I didn't know they'd started already. Come on!

Hey, Shelby!

Hey!

This is Ginger.

She's getting married here in a few weeks.

Oh, great. Okay, you two are on roof duty.

Oh. Um...

Shelby, I don't know if Ginger has time.

Oh, I have time. This is awesome.

Okay.

So, how about you tell me what you have planned so far?

Where is the ceremony, your reception?

I don't have anywhere booked yet.

Okay... um...

How many bridesmaids do you have?

Um, none?

This was kind of last-minute

and I didn't want anyone

to feel obligated to change their plans for the holidays.

You don't, by any chance, have a color scheme, do you?

It's not just white?

Wow! You did not think this through very well, did you?

I know.

Hey! Oh! Why don't you plan it for her?

Yeah, right.

Well, why not?

I mean, you're smart, you've got great taste,

you know everything about weddings in this town.

Wait. I thought you were a wedding planner?

No, sorry, I just do dresses.

But you could do it, right?

: Of course she could do it!

The thought has crossed my mind

as a way to expand my business,

but it is a big leap

to go from dresses to entire weddings.

But there's no one else here that can help me.

There's really not.
