Rachel Getting Married Page #3

Synopsis: Kym Buchman has been in drug rehab for nine months, during which time she has been clean. She is released temporarily from the facility to attend her sister Rachel Buchman's wedding. During her release, Kym is staying at the family home, where the wedding is taking place. As such, it is like Grand Central Station for the duration of Kym's stay, which may not be the most conducive situation for her in constantly being exposed to the watching eyes of those who know and don't yet know her, but know of her situation. The reunion with her family members starts off well enough, but issues around Kym's release from rehab quickly surface. Kym and Rachel's father, Paul Buchman, wants to make sure that Kym is all right at all times, which to Kym feels instead like he doesn't trust her. Rachel slowly begins to resent Kym's situation taking over what is supposed to be the happiest day of her life, some of which is directed by Kym, some of which isn't.

and providing for me...

You know, you relapse,

you got to start all over again.

And, man, I got tired of

starting over again.

You know, it was dramatic.

You know, there's a lot of, you know...

It's ups and downs

and it's crazy, and then...

And just recently,

there's something, you know...

I can feel myself almost, like,

missing the drama sometimes. Like, I'm...

It gets so boring sometimes.

You know I used to say I'm not an addict.

And it took me years to say I was an addict.

Then I spent years, like...

That's all I was.

You know? I was just an addict.

If you could just, kind of, accept it as

a fact, just one fact among many.

- That I can be that and other things.

- That's right.

Things that are going to build you up

in the journey that you're on.

All of us have felt that way at some time.

But I want to encourage you.

You're doing well.

God, grant me the serenity

to accept the things I cannot change,

the courage to change the things I can

and the wisdom to know the difference.

And it says keep coming back,

'cause it works, if you work it.

Well, thanks a lot. I'll see you next time.

Kymmie! Carol, she's here.

Kymmie! I got a sandwich for you, darling.

It's meat loaf.

- Hi, dear.

- Hey.

- Quite a ride, huh?

- Yep.

- Meat loaf.

- Look at that.

- Yeah.

- Yummy.

- Okay.

- Wow. Thank you.

- You're welcome.

- That's big.

I'm so glad you're here, darling.

I'm so glad you're back.

- Did you think I wasn't coming back?

- No.

- I'll take Bill's bike.

- Kymberly!

- Hey!

- Come meet Sidney.

- This is my betrothed, Sidney Williams.

- Hi.

- Hello.

- Hi.

And this is best man, Kieran.

- Hey.

- Hi, there.

- How are you?

- Good.

- How's your knee?

- Shut up.

You want meat loaf? My dad made meat loaf.

- Nice to see you.

- Nice to see you.

I think that we have started

a new tradition.

- That's what I think, yeah.

- Yeah. What's that?

I think it's the best man

and the maid of honor

sneaking off to get it on,

while the rest of the wedding party?

Very happily

and furiously plans for the big event.

But I thought...

I thought that was Emma's role.

What?

The maid of honor.

I mean, I heard that that was the plan.

I'm sure it is.

- I might be wrong.

- No.

Do you love it?

I mean, the lilac's fabulous, Emma.

She looks like a freesia.

Isn't it beautiful?

We should just cover your tattoo.

What?

Nothing, nothing.

I just really like the gray.

Of course you do.

We're all wearing lilac.

It's coordinated. It's a wedding.

Okay, well, this is in the color scheme,

and it looks like a cloud.

- It's fantastic.

- Exactly.

- You know how I am. I don't wear lilac.

- It's good to have a principle.
