see you throw away your education.

You have an advanced degree.

- I know.

- And your father should have

never given you that

stupid job because now...

Is that my girl?

Hey, what are you doing home?

It's his home.

Taking the day off.

- Yeah, me too. Hmm.

- Wanna stay for dinner?

- Yeah.

- Ed.

Hey, is it "make your own pizza" night?

- Sure, great idea. Great idea.

- Yeah.

I promise to love you,

to cherish you and to hold you

and to be the rock in our

relationship for the rest of our days.

I promise to be your baby's

breath when we wake each morning.

And to be your evening rose

at day's end.

And I promise

to be your safe harbor

when the boat is rocking

and when it's not rocking.

I give you the bride and the

groom, Mr. and Mrs. Wanamaker!

And here they are

dancing to the song Mrs. Wannamaker has

picked for their first dance together

as man and wife.

My dad used to make yipping sounds

when I first started to take you out

because he said it was puppy love.

I know. I remember.

Yeah, well, you know,

but it wasn't puppy love.

No... I mean, unless we stayed

puppies for a seriously long time.

- Listen...

- What?

Look...

I know it's taken me a

really long time to get here.

What are you talking about?

Okay, well, you know how I took

that guy's seminar last month?

- Right.

- Well, I took a personality test.

And the test came back

and the type that I am...

- Is a procrastinator.

- Anth, I mean...

Who makes up those tests? Come on.

- Experts.

- Right.

Like really smart people...

But that's not important.

What's important is that

I've been such a bonehead

in waiting to do this for so long.

No, no! Whoa, get up, get up!

- Okay.

- Get up...

Okay, I'm up, and listen, I know

we have had our trouble in the past

with recognizing our

moments, but this is it.

This is our moment.

No, this isn't our moment,

this is Allison's moment,

this is her wedding.

I know, and it's totally cool.

When I first had the

idea, I ran it by her

and she was so happy for us.

And today, at lunch,

I got a fortune cookie

that said, "Carpe diem. "

- Carpe diem?

- Yes.

Hey, hey, guys, hey.

Megan, can you find my mom?

She has the next dance with Matt.

I think I saw her out in the garden.

Yeah, I'm... I'm...

I'm gonna come... I'm...

- I'm just a second...

- Right.

Sorry but she has to find my mom.

- No, it's fine.

- Okay.

It's fine.

Uh, I'm going to go and put the

rose petals in the bridal suite.

- Right this second?

- Yeah.

Don't you do that

just before they leave?

No, no, it's cool right now.

Okay, I'll... Later right? Later.

Meg?

Meg...

Hey, excuse me.

Yeah?

You look like you party.
