[SOFT PIANO]

WOW.

THEY WON'T BITE.

WELL, SHE MIGHT.

- HEY...

- YEAH?

ARE YOU OKAY?

YEAH, I'M FINE.

ABSOLUTELY FINE.

OKAY,

UH, MAYBE NOT "ABSOLUTELY."

MAYBE MORE LIKE, UM,

"PRETTY MUCH, BUT NOT ENTIRELY."

THE THING IS,

EVEN AFTER MEETING ALEX'S MOM,

I DON'T KNOW, A DOZEN TIMES,

I'M STILL

REALLY UNCOMFORTABLE AROUND HER.

WHY?

BECAUSE I FEEL LIKE

I'M ALWAYS AUDITIONING FOR HER.

AUDITIONING FOR WHAT?

THE RIGHT TO DATE HER SON.

WELL, IF THAT'S TRUE,

THEN SHE'S A DODO BIRD.

MM-HMM.

I'M GOING TO HOLD

THAT THOUGHT.

SHOULD MAKE IT A LOT EASIER

TO BE AROUND HER.

I AM ALWAYS:

HAPPY TO HELP.

[CHUCKLING]

[CROWD BUZZING

WITH CONVERSATION]

[WHISPERING]

THERE SHE IS.

OKAY...

NOW I'M

INTIMIDATED, TOO.

THE CASTLE TOGETHER?

[CLEARS THROAT]

SHH.

I JUST WANTED TO

WELCOME EVERYONE,

AND THANK YOU SO MUCH

FOR COMING.

I WANT TO THANK:

MOM AND DAD:

FOR HOSTING US:

TONIGHT.

JUST WANTED:

TO MAKE SURE:

EVERYONE IS HAVING THE BES NEW YEAR'S THAT THEY CAN.

AND THERE'S A LITTLE SAYING

THAT LOVE IS BLIND.

PERHAPS, FOR SOME, IT IS.

BUT FOR ME,

IT'S NEVER BEEN

MORE CRYSTAL CLEAR.

OH...

AWW...

JUNE,

I CAN'T BELIEVE

WE'VE ONLY KNOWN EACH OTHER

TWO SHORT YEARS:

WHEN IT FEELS LIKE YOU'VE BEEN

A PART OF MY LIFE FOREVER,

AND IT WOULD MEAN

THE WORLD TO ME:

IF I KNEW:

THAT EVERY DAY:

WOULD BE LIKE THAT.

AND THE ONLY WAY I KNOW

THE BEST FIRST YEAR

OF THE REST OF MY LIFE

IS IF YOU WOULD SHARE

THAT LIFE WITH ME.

SO, JUNE FRASER...

[GIGGLES NERVOUSLY;

EXCITED CHATTER FROM CROWD]

WILL YOU MARRY ME?

PLEASE?

YES.

YES!

[CHEERING]

[]

WERE YOU SURPRISED?

A LITTLE.

I MEAN, I WAS HOPING

YOU'D ASK ME SOMETIME.

BECAUSE IF YOU DIDN'T,

I WAS GONNA ASK YOU.

I WAS GLAD:

YOU DIDN'T SAY NO.

"NO" WAS NOT AN OPTION,

ALEX BLACKWELL,

BECAUSE, AS IT HAPPENS,

I AM TOTALLY:

AND HELPLESSLY:

IN LOVE WITH YOU.

THIS WAS INEVITABLE,

DIANA.

HE'S CRAZY ABOUT HER.

IT JUST SEEMS:

SO RASH.

TWO YEARS IS SUCH

A SHORT COURTSHIP.

AS I RECALL, OURS WAS ONLY

A LITTLE OVER A YEAR.

CAN'T HOLD ON TO HIM

FOREVER.

BYE.

THAT'S MY FAVORITE!

OH, ME TOO.

YOUR DAD IS:

SUCH A HUNK.

MOM!

THAT WAS THE ABSOLUTE

BEST DAY OF MY LIFE,

WELL, UNTIL YOU

CAME ALONG, OF COURSE.

WHEN I GET MARRIED,

I WANT IT TO BE:

IN A GARDEN FULL OF ROSES

JUST LIKE YOU AND DAD DID.

WITH A STRING QUARTET?

AND JUST MY FAMILY

AND MY CLOSEST FRIENDS.

NO MEAN GIRLS ALLOWED.

ABSOLUTELY.

A STRICTLY ENFORCED

MEAN GIRL BAN.

I HOPE I'LL LOOK AS PRETTY

AS YOU DID.

OH, HONEY, YOU WILL BE

SO MUCH PRETTIER.

YOU WILL BE:

THE MOS SPLENDIFEROUS BRIDE

THE WORLD:

HAS EVER SEEN.

EVEN THE FLOWERS

WILL STAND AND APPLAUD.

AND RANUNCULUS.

AND IT WILL BE:

THE MOST BEAUTIFUL JUNE DAY,

JUST LIKE:
