Breakfast on the deck.

Later, the women will primp and groom

while the men play football.

A Watson family tradition

I wish I could ignore.

Like the round tables,

I can make that go away.

Back to the wedding.

All right, rental chairs and lanterns

will be arranged here on the lawn.

The ceremony begins at 2:00 pm sharp

with dinner and dancing to follow.

And on Sunday morning, Jason and I

will be Mr, and Mrs. Jason Edgar Taylor.

Girl!

-Oh, wow. Okay.

-Yeah.

-Well, I'm gonna check on...

-What's wrong?

Mom, come on.

It's just... It's just all so rushed.

No time for an engagement party

or bridal shower.

Really, Sabrina.

It looks as if we have no home training.

We should've taken months to plan this.

Really, why the rush?

If you're pregnant, you can tell me.

For the millionth time,

no, I'm not pregnant.

Okay? Trust me.

Jason and I are in love, really in love.

We wanna go to China

as husband and wife, a team.

Jason makes a good impression,

but we haven't met his family yet.

What are they like?

Amy! Let's put some greens in

with the roses, okay?

-For, like, a pop of color.

-Sabrina.

And Bellinis. Mom, you love Bellinis.

Let's serve Bellinis as well, okay?

-Sabrina!

-Yes?

-What are they like?

-I don't know.

You don't know? Sabrina,

your father and I have invested

over half a million dollars

in your education.

-Communicate.

-I haven't met them yet.

I know. I tried, but it was

hard for Jason to work it out!

-Sabrina!

-Mrs. Taylor is a very busy woman.

-Sabrina.

-Mom,

everybody's gonna love each other

because Jason and I love each other.

How can you say you love him

when you don't know them?

They could be awful

-or:
::

-Or great.

-Come on. You worry too much!

-No, you don't worry enough.

Well, it's all under control.

Right, Amy?

-Okay, Miss O'Neal. Next!

-So, when are you leaving?

You know all those people over

at the Vineyard,

they are so loaded,

even their servants are rich.

I can't believe little Jason

is getting married this weekend,

and I'm not gonna be there.

Well,

of course you're not gonna be there.

You wearing a ankle bracelet

and it's not for fashion. Next!

What's the girl like?

Miss O'Neal, go on, now.

I gotta go to work. Next!

Come on up here, baby.

Hurry up. I ain't got all day.

What?

-One minute, baby.

-Come on, girl, don't...

-Shonda!

-Pam, I'm busy.

You see this long line

we have out here?

Excuse us, excuse us.

-What's the problem, Pam?

-I have tried to be nice to this girl,

but you know by now she should've come

over here to Brooklyn to meet me.

You will not believe it.

She sent me a text message.

A text message!

Talking 'bout she want me
