Confessions Of An American Bride Page #2

Synopsis: Young career woman Samantha 'Sam' Hoyt gets swept off her feet by Benjamin 'Ben' Rosen, who romances her better than anyone before, so she jumps at the offer of becoming his fiancée. If Ben thought a girl's typical obsession with the perfect wedding was testing, she soon proves a particularly bad case; and before he gets used to that, meeting each other's parents complicates things gravely, as Jewish and church wedding traditions don't exactly mix easily. They take their time preparing while living together. Then fate strikes again: the key man from the client of her firm's advertising campaign is Luke Stinson, the perfect guy at college whom she could never date because of a rather serious fall just when they could have kissed. Luke proves still as irresistible, gorgeous, charming, easy-going and simply too sexy for any female not to lust for at first sight, and actually confides in her he asked for her on the campaign because he considers her the one attractive girl who got away.

I love you.

I'm not a crier, but...

Yes.

I'd been engaged for a shade

under three hours...

... and already I felt behind.

I had work to do.

Men get porn,

women get wedding websites.

You a little excited, huh?

We need flowers, a band, centerpieces,

a caterer. The best ones go fast.

We have to get on this.

We don't even have a date.

- Okay, what were you thinking?

- June 15th.

I checked and there's less than

an 18 percent chance of precipitation.

Well, June 15th it is.

Now, how about bed?

I'm sure there's not

a 3 a. m. Rush on caterers.

I just... I want everything

to be perfect.

I mean, the word "wedding"

has always turned me into mush.

It's like some ingrained

X- chromosome thing.

I can't help it. My head is spinning

in wedding thoughts.

Do you think I'm crazy?

Well, besides agreeing to marry me...

...I see no evidence of you being crazy.

I promise, after the wedding I'll go back

to being good old level-headed Sam.

I just want it exactly right.

- It'll be perfect.

- Here it comes.

- Sam, I promise.

- Classic groom mistake.

Being engaged is like having all of

your feelings dropped into a blender...

...and then someone hits "mix"

before you put the top on.

See?

It's the most bizarre mixture of pure joy,

total dread, and gunk.

Speaking of dread,

it's time I told you about my mother.

My early memories of her are great.

My younger sister Anne and I

were the luckiest girls in the world.

But as we got older,

it became clear that things changed.

You know that saying,

"You can't have a favorite child"?

Well, don't believe it.

I remember this.

We took a cross-country

road trip when I was 16.

Notice something?

And it only got worse.

All of you worked tirelessly...

Anne, I know that

you'll be valedictorian.

Okay, okay, she didn't really say that.

But it felt like she did.

And, by the way,

Anne was valedictorian.

And it's kind of ridiculous...

...but Anne has more awards

than most girls have shoes.

And although I can't resent her luck

or talent or whatever...

...I can resent my mother

only noticing her.

Hey, Sammy.

- Hi!

- Congratulations, you.

Thank you.

So one guy for the rest

of your life, huh?

That is crazy.

I mean, how do you know?

How does he not get on your nerves?

I don't know. I love him.

- I'll stick with sex for now.

- Paging Dr. Cynic.

- Hi, Mom!

- Hello, darling.

- Sammy, Sammy.

- Hey.

Congratulations. My little girl.

- Do you want a beer?

- Thanks, but no thanks, Dad.

- Champagne at the wedding, I promise.

- All right.

- What is all this stuff?

- Research, dear.

Invitations, programs, menus, favors.

I've been to five weddings

in the last year...

...and I will not allow yours
