-No, we can't. We can talk.

-Talk?

-Yes.

French.

I don't know what to say.

Just say anything.

Please don't be mad.

But I am afraid that when we're on

our honeymoon,

It will be that time of the month.

I don't know what you just said,

but it sounded so good.

Did it?

Sabrina! Reverend James is here!

See? You hear that?

That's God talking through my mom.

Oh, my God.

You couldn't control it?

I'm okay with this waiting thing,

but he is pissed

at my choice in women right now.

-Say you're sorry. Say you're sorry.

-I'm sorry. Kind of.

-It's not working.

-Not really.

-French?

-Get outta here.

-Sabrina!

-I'm coming, Mom!

Maybe we could get to the last detail

of this wedding, the reading.

Yes, yes, yes, yes.

I was thinking Jude, Chapter three.

"The quality of mercy is not strained.

It falls like a gentle rain

from the heavens."

That's Shakespeare.

-That's not Jude three?

-There is no Jude three.

-There's no Jude three?

-No.

I was thinking Corinthians 13.

"Love is patient, love is kind."

How about John 15?

That's my mother's favorite.

Well, it's our wedding, so...

Well, babe, it would really make

my mother happy, come on.

Yeah. And when she gets married again,

they can read it for her, okay?

Wait a minute, wait a minute,

hold up a minute.

Maybe we should just

look at Genesis 2:24.

It says, "For this cause shall a man

leave his mother and his father

"and take unto him a wife

"and then they shall cleave

and become one flesh."

Now, that... That feels good.

That is a good one. That's a good one.

Could we possibly get back

to you on this one, Rev?

Certainly, certainly.

Let's talk about it.

Sabrina, dear,

I understand that you love each other

and that you're maybe even meant

to be together.

But I should warn you that

sometimes life will really test you.

Well, we'll pass. I mean,

Reverend James, Jason was sent to me.

He's my soul mate.

That's so sweet.

But even a soul mate

can really test you.

You've known me since I was just

a wee little thing, and now...

-Pigtails and braces.

-Yes!

-Look at you now. So wonderful.

-That's right. Can you believe it?

I tell you what,

I'm gonna have to leave you lovebirds

and get on back to the church

so we can have

this marvelous wedding of yours.

Thank you!

-Be sweet, dear.

-Thank you so much.

-And take care.

-Thanks.

-We'll talk soon.

-All right, Rev.

-All the best. See you all. Bye-bye.

-All right, see you tomorrow.

-Take care.

-Bye.

It's almost noon.

I gotta go pick up my mom, all right?

No, no, no, no!

You're not going anywhere.

-What do you mean, babe?

-Amy sent a car for her.

-Amy sent a car for my mom?
