Confessions Of An American Bride Page #4

- Does it really matter what they think?

- Yeah.

Maybe I was overreacting.

It appeared that for moms...

... a wedding can transcend any

cultural or personality differences.

You see? Lovefest.

I can't wait till we're related.

Hi, Daddy.

And for dads, the excitement

of the fourth quarter has the same effect.

- How are you?

- Very well, thank you.

- Samantha.

- Hi, Mom.

Hello, honey. Wonderful news.

The Rosens have very generously offered

to share the cost of the wedding.

We want you to have everything

you've ever dreamed of.

Thank you!

Maybe Ben was right,

and it'd all work out.

St. James Church?

Of course. Sam practically

grew up there.

You never told me she wanted

a church wedding.

I didn't, you know...

We never discussed the...

- Hello? Anybody home?

- Rabbi Kaplan.

Sheila, you look great.

Mazeltov. Benjamin.

This must be the bride.

How do you do? And this is...?

Rabbi, they want the ceremony

at St. James. Will that be a problem?

- Is St. James a church?

- Yes.

Then it's a problem.

But, Rabbi, we do intend

on having an interfaith ceremony.

I know, I'm sorry.

I just don't do that.

Which doesn't mean I don't approve

of interfaith marriage.

I just don't perform the ceremonies.

Most rabbis don't.

I'm on shpilkes.

That's cheddar.

No son of mine is being married

in a church.

Well, Sheila, dear, if it's not

St. James Church, then it's gonna be...

Maybe we should put a pin in this

and talk about something else...

...like, I don't know, the menu.

That sounds like a good idea.

All right, well, I had a thought.

I was thinking, instead of doing

the old grilled fish thing...

...that we'd do coconut shrimp,

Sam's favorite.

Do you think that's a good idea?

Some of our family keep kosher.

We were thinking that lasagna

would be a good main course.

Do you think that's a good idea?

See, Ken's lactose intolerant,

and with all the cheese...

Can you even get good seafood

without flying it in?

- All that cheese, we'll need a paramedic.

- And the cost!

Well, the Wolves won.

Did somebody mention lasagna?

It gives me terrible gas.

Everyone, stop!

That's your second sundae.

- What are you getting at?

- Nothing.

Look, Sam, let's just forget

the rabbi, okay?

We can do it in a church, whatever.

It would solve everything.

I'd lose your mother forever.

She'd never forgive me.

I can't have that.

Okay, well, we'll just have to find

a solution that everyone can live with.

He's so cute, isn't he?

The truth is I wasn't that worried.

These were all minor roadblocks.

The important thing was that I had

a loving and supportive hubby-to-be.

I wasn't finished.

Anyway, if it can't be in a church,
