Breakup at a Wedding Page #5

Synopsis: Having worked in the business for ten years, Vic James is a wedding videographer who will do anything to make the resulting video special for the bride and groom regardless of what s*** has gone on during the events. He is looking forward to his latest job filming Alison Jones and Phil Havemeyer's nuptials if only because Alison is a people pleaser, which means that she has given him unfettered access to everything for filming, while Phil is always distracted by being on his iPhone to bother noticing what Vic is doing. The night before the wedding at the rehearsal dinner, Alison gets a case of cold feet largely because of her parents' own failed marriage, with the resulting belief that she and Phil are destined to break up at some point in their lives, so better do it now than later. Being that people pleaser in not wanting to disrupt the lives of others who have placed their time and energy into the proceedings, Alison is able to convince Phil to go through with a wedding ceremony but

I don't know.

You tell me.

What are we doing?

You've got me so confused

right now, Alison.

I know, but...

What if we had a wedding

and we had a reception,

and just don't sign

that sheet of paper?

And then no one knows

that it's not official,

and everyone dances

and drinks,

and we feed them

and everyone has a great time.

This is ludicrous.

No, it'll be easier.

I think

I'm gonna throw up.

We're not gonna get the deposits

back. You said so yourself.

Yeah, we're not gonna

get our deposits back, Al.

But in a church...

Phil, when was the last time

that you went to church?

I pray every day, Al.

Okay, well,

I'll volunteer a lot.

Philip...

We're going to hell.

No, Phil. Look at me.

If you needed

further evidence...

that weddings make normal people

go bat-sh*t crazy,

let me present you

with exhibit "A":

Phil's new plan.

Just don't ask me

how I was able to get this.

I'm awake.

Drink this.

Okay.

One more coffee, please.

You'll be wide awake

after this.

Mm-hmm.

Why you being so nice to me?

Mmm. Mmm.

That's the trailblazer and this

is a bunch of covered wagons.

Brrr.

I'm so scared no one's gonna

wanna dance at the wedding.

I'm gonna dance.

I'm gonna dance all up and down

your man guests.

Alison has been fasting

for the last three months...

because of the Depo shot.

Is she supposed to be talking

to you? He's in my car.

So Alison got slammed

by the birth-control fairy.

No, my doctor gave me

this birth control shot...

so that I wouldn't have to worry

about my period for my wedding.

It is like 4,000 doses

of birth control at once,

so needless to say,

sh*t hit the fan.

I just didn't

have the best reaction.

You had 45 pounds

of not the best reaction.

It's a totally common

side effect.

You looked like a football

player. Why are you...

I really should have rescheduled

those engagement photos.

No. Why? It's where you were

at that time in your life.

There she is.

There's my sister.

I am so happy

and proud for you.

Lenka's really up to no good,

so feel free to ice her out

and make her feel unwanted.

Do your thing.

That was weird.

Alison's family life

was complicated.

Her dad had married a Czech

woman he met on meelf. com...

three months after the divorce

to Alison's mom was final.

So you're filming

everything, huh?

His new wife invited her

goddaughter Lenka for a visit.

Brian, who up till then had never tongue

kissed a girl, married her within the month.

That's my wife, everybody.

Uh-huh.

Uh-huh.

I don't know.

Yes. Yes, of course I

still love you. I just...

You know what, Phil? We just need

to stick to the plan right now, okay?

That's what we need to do.
