Marry Me at Christmas

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.

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.

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.

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 fianc, 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.

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.

-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.

I...

I wanted to talk about...

Hi.

Hello.

So? You were saying?

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.

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.

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.

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?

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.

Great. Okay,

you two are on roof duty.

Shelby, I don't know

if Ginger has time.

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...

How many bridesmaids

do you have?

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?

You did not think this

through very well, did you?

I know.

Hey! 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.
