Confessions Of An American Bride Page #5

I can live with that.

Even my mom can.

I just have to be organized,

do one thing at a time, prioritize...

...take a measured,

level-headed approach.

An approach that apparently

is unsuited to dress shopping.

The bridal shop's

semi-annual trunk show.

Kind of an ancient Rome vibe, no?

We're too late.

All the best stuff's gone.

Kristin:
Bridesmaid, lifelong friend,

and voice of doom.

That's mine.

Back off, babe. We got dibs.

Does this thing come with an SUV?

No, I don't like the toile.

This seems like a lot of trouble

to go to for some party.

This isn't just some party.

No, it's the most important day

of your life.

It has to be perfect, like mine was.

Maybe because you didn't have to wear

those hideous bridesmaid dresses.

So was the parental meeting

really that bad?

No. Yes.

I don't know.

Sorry, didn't see the back fat.

- What was the crux of the problem?

- What wasn't?

His parents, my parents,

they all had their own ideas.

Hello?

Mom, please.

No. I promise.

You will get to see it bef...

No, it's the only time I had free.

I'm not avoiding you, okay?

I love you too.

Oh, come on, Sammy, is it really worth

getting this worked up over?

Oh, to be young and single again.

Oh, yeah, because my life's just tequila

shooters and flashing my b*obs in Cabo.

Sam, the most important thing

is that you don't compromise.

No, the most important thing

is you don't drive yourself crazy.

This is gonna work itself out.

You just have to trust him,

and trust yourself.

- Well?

- Phenomenal.

I don't know.

And then it hit me.

I love them all, but there's only

one voice I can listen to: Mine.

And right now, it's telling me I look like

I just stepped out of an '80s metal video.

Samantha.

- Is this a bad time?

- No, no, no.

Well, FYI, Standard's fourth-quarter

results came in and they blew.

Word is they're gonna push up

the launch a month.

Right before...

... the wedding.

No, no, please. Go ahead, answer it.

Mom, now is not...

Yes, I sent the save-the-date

to the printers.

I didn't consult you because...

I didn't pick out a dress,

I just tried on a few.

Look, Mom, can we talk about this later?

L...

Stone has no idea

what I'm going through.

Finding a dress, a band, a rabbi...

- How's that going, anyway?

- I'm on it.

You are? Because we need that ASAP.

It's one of about a million details.

The clock is ticking, Ben.

Hey, how about we elope?

Okay, so we won't elope.

Look, Sam, it's gonna be fine.

We'll work it out.

Red flag. Isn't that different

than, "Everything will be perfect"?

- Where's the restaurant?

- Change of plan.

Is this one of the places your company

is trying to lease?

No. We do commercial real estate.
