My brother told me Clemence

was singing this the night they met.

He said it was love at first song.

I still can't believe they changed their wedding date

so last minute just so they could get married

on the holiday of soul mates.

I didn't even know there was such a thing

as a Jewish Valentine's Day.

Yeah. Clearly Clemence just found out about it, too.

We'll still find a way to celebrate

your big birthday this weekend,

the big 4-0.

Four... oh.

Know what I mean?

Come on, babe.

I really just need to figure out a way to do the surgery.

You look amazing.

I think I look old.

You look hot.

What's happening with working for your brother at Radica?

Liam's not committing to me.

Really?

I mean, he has several firms competing for the job,

but I'm pretty sure that when he sees my creation,

it's gonna blow his mind.

- Oh, good job, babe. -

- Oh, I'm so sorry. - Fuck!

Stop looking at your phone, babe.

Sorry, the guys on my desk are texting.

Oh, the fund's down another 18% this month.

What are we gonna do if it doesn't turn around soon?

All right, let's not worry about that right now, okay?

They're in the studio, right?

Right, but I'm gonna change first.

We don't have time for that before dinner starts.

I'm not gonna meet my future sister-in-law

and her whole family for the first time looking like this.

The itinerary card says casual chic.

- -

I don't know why you can't let me have five minutes

- to get ready. - I just wanna...

- They're fine, they're talking. - I know they're fine,

- but we're so late. - Doesn't matter. It would take five minutes.

Listen, five minutes turns into ten minutes.

Bienvenue.

- Hey! - Hi.

Hey, sister.

Yay!

Nice to meet you.

- Nice to meet you. - Hey.

- Ethan. - Come here, buddy.

Hi, it's so nice to meet you.

- Kissing both cheeks? - Nice to meet you.

I'm so psyched you guys are here.

We are so sorry we're late, man.

Oh, yeah, you gotta do the seaplane next time, skip the traffic.

Yeah.

- It was a crazy trip. - You look so different.

I just don't even recognize you.

Yeah, it's vintage Hermes.

Don't you think he just looks so sexy with it?

Merci, my little...

- Oh, boy. - So sexy.

- Sexy. Oh. - Très chic.

Yeah.

And your hair, did you straighten it?

Yeah, it was a little frizzy before so they've relaxed it a little.

Oh, they relaxed it.

Just a little. Relax about it.

Okay, I'll relax about it.

It's getting late. I think we should start.

I just need like five minutes 'cause I spilled in...

- I spilled coffee. - He did,

and it is really sticky and uncomfortable.

- So I'm just gonna be... - No, no, you can change later.

- We're so excited. - Yeah.

- Come on in, you guys. - Let's go introduce you to everyone.

This is gonna be the most fun.

This is my papa, Philibert.

Such a pleasure to meet you.

Liam has a very pretty sister.

- I know. -

Liam told me that Philibert

- was a famous comedian in France. - Really?

Papa had a very well known TV show.

It's called, "Gag Current."

- Can I watch it? - It's in French, it's never been translated.

Oh. Je parle un peu francais.

- Did I get that right? - So far.

Then you have to check it out.

- I will. - I once consulted

with a TV writer for a show

they were writing about an architect.

Are you an architect, mon chéri?

- Oui. - Fantastique.

Well, I'm getting back into it

now more that our kids are older.

I brought the North Island drawings to show you.

Where are the little ones?

Oh, well, they're at camp.

- Yeah. - In Michigan.

They were supposed to come,

but the timing didn't work out with the new wedding date.

- Oh, no. - It's a shame.

We really wanted to meet them.

Yes, I wanted them to be here.

Yes, we did. But that's what they look like.

- Aw. -

So, over there, there is my mom Suzette.

- Hi. - I have to say I'm sorry,

some of the English in the family is really sort of so-so.

This is Maximus, which is my amazing producer

- and is an incredible songwriter. - Hi, nice to meet you.

- Got it. - And back there

is Feather, his girlfriend. They are both American.

And this is my brother, Orson.

- Hi. - Yeah.

He's going to be one of your roommate for the weekend.

- And this is Bernetta. -

She is my stepmother, and she helped plan the whole weekend.

So nice.

Nice to meet you.

I'm making wedding video,

so I've been seeing plenty of pictures of you as a child.

Bernetta saw pictures of you guys building forts.

Audrey taught me everything I know.

Hey, how are you? How's it going?

How's it going?

How was the traffic?

- -

Amen.

That was pretty.

Amen.

- -

Amen.

Pass this that way. Here we go.

Pass and share.

For you, my love.

- Oh, here. - No, thank you.

- No? - She doesn't drink. Never in her life.

Uh-oh.

You're marrying a man who loves to drink and have fun.

Well, I don't do drugs, either.

I don't like the idea of losing control.

- This is good. - Tati makes the best challah.

- Who, Tati? - My aunt.

Between my brother Orson and my mom.

- Mmm! - She uses raw honey from the lower valley, right?

- The Loire Valley. - Excusez-moi. Loire.

By the way, the only thing sweeter than wine and honey,

in the Loire Valley, is the pussy.

So sorry, did you...

- I mean, I lost my virginity... - Did you say the P word?

Did you want some challah?

It's really good luck to have that for Shabbat.

Clemence is saving up for the wedding cake.

Oh.

Yeah, we making you a king's cake.

Oh, galette des rois.

Yeah. Galette des rois.

- Very famous cake from Paris. - Oui, oui.

With trinkets hidden inside.

Whoever gets the trinket is proclaimed

queen or king of the feast and considered very lucky.

Uncle George makes the best king's cake,

so I've basically starved myself for three days like this

I can eat the whole cake.

- - It's my weakness.

Nice.

So, I did want to, I did want to say,

well, we wanted to just let you know how grateful we are

that you all traveled here to celebrate with us

from Paris and Israel and...

- Brooklyn. - Great Neck.

Brooklyn and Strong Island are in the house.

You know, this property is a really sacred place to my family.

You know, it's where I grew up spending my summer...

Well, where we grew up spending our summers.

And then when my mom got sick and my parents

decided to sell it, I wanted to buy it to keep it in the family.

You saved it.

It really reminds me of my mom here.

And I wish more than anything she was with us this weekend.

Even in death, her presence is felt.

And I didn't mean to make everybody sad, but she...

her favorite cocktail was the...

- Long Island Ice Tea. - Yes.

To my loving and devoted mother, Joyce.

Yeah, let's toast to your mother's soul.

- - L'Chaim.

- -

- - Liam.
