Stop the Wedding Page #4

---

it was a pleasure.

Yeah, it wasn't.

Have a nice day!

Thanks for

picking me up, Jake,

since my dad still

won't answer any of my calls.

What, he has to have you tell me

all this big news now?

He can't even

tell me himself?

Well, maybe he knew you'd try

to talk him out of it.

Besides, I've gotten very good

at dropping bombshells

after two decades

of working for your father.

It's on my resume now.

Two wives

in the last five years,

and I'm supposed to, what,

just congratulate him?

Belle is different.

Oh-ho, yeah,

I'm sure she is, Jake.

They all are.

They don't care

that he's a movie star, no.

No, they would love him

just the same

if he were a bank teller.

Please, I've heard it

all before.

Well, just try

to reserve judgment

until after you've met her,

will you?

I think she's going

to surprise you.

Yeah, I think not.

I can't believe

you're being so blase

about all this.

Well, it's her time, Anna.

It's a little bit later

than most people,

but everybody deserves

to find their great love.

And sometimes, you just

need to let people

make their own

mistakes.

Because they don't

listen to you anyway

when they are so sure

that they are ready

to tie the knot.

I can't believe

you're going to throw

the biggest mistake of my life

in my face

at a time like this.

I was 19.

I was young and stupid,

and I have been careful

about my decisions ever since.

What's belle's

excuse?

She doesn't need one.

Sean's the best.

We all adore him.

What about his history,

aunt Suzie?

No, that's the tabloid Sean.

Trust me, you get to know him,

he's completely different.

Plus, he's introducing me

to George Clooney

at the wedding.

I just...

I'm just glad

dad's not here to see all this.

He was so protective

of you and aunt belle.

What would he say

about his sister marrying

a virtual stranger?

I'm not certain,

but I think he'd say,

"you go, girl."

Aunt belle?

She knew I was

coming home today.

Well, it looks like

she had other plans.

Salsa?

I hope she's talking

about chips and dip.

She hates dancing.

He's pulled her to

the dark side, aunt Suzie.

I have to go

and open the shop,

so I can't wait with you,

but try to keep

an open mind.

I'm telling you,

my sister is a new woman.

Salsa?

Our best leverage is the fact

that you helped put your husband

through medical school.

California is

a community property state,

so you have absolutely nothing

to worry about here.

Okay, um, we will talk later.

What?

How...

How on earth

did you find me here?

Is this about

your phone?

You, um, looked very different

out of context.

That's why I couldn't place you.

I see you've changed.

It's much, much better.
