Rachel Getting Married Page #6

Synopsis: Kym Buchman has been in drug rehab for nine months, during which time she has been clean. She is released temporarily from the facility to attend her sister Rachel Buchman's wedding. During her release, Kym is staying at the family home, where the wedding is taking place. As such, it is like Grand Central Station for the duration of Kym's stay, which may not be the most conducive situation for her in constantly being exposed to the watching eyes of those who know and don't yet know her, but know of her situation. The reunion with her family members starts off well enough, but issues around Kym's release from rehab quickly surface. Kym and Rachel's father, Paul Buchman, wants to make sure that Kym is all right at all times, which to Kym feels instead like he doesn't trust her. Rachel slowly begins to resent Kym's situation taking over what is supposed to be the happiest day of her life, some of which is directed by Kym, some of which isn't.

- No, I'm fat. Rehab makes you fat.

- No, nonsense. You girls.

- Is everything okay?

- Yes.

Mom, where have you been?

- Everything's fine.

- Did you get the dates confused?

No, no, everything's fine, honey.

- Introduce me around.

- This is Sidney's family.

This is Carol-Jean. This is my mom, Abby.

- Congratulations.

- And this is her husband, Andrew.

- Andrew.

- John, Abby, my mom.

- Pleasure.

- Don't you steal her.

- Hi.

- Nice to meet you. Congratulations.

- Thank you.

- And this is Grandma.

- Hello.

- Emma!

Mom, you look so great.

Really, you look amazing.

Honey, don't smoke. I don't think it's...

Can you smoke here?

- Yeah, yeah, totally. It's a private party?

- This is the best man, Kieran.

- Nice to meet you.

- Very nice to meet you. I'm Kieran.

How's Grandma?

Is she still surly and irascible?

She's great. You know Grandma.

She sends her love.

- Great, same.

- You want to sit?

Go put the cigarette out,

'cause I don't think it's fine.

- Sit.

- Just put it out.

- Just put it out.

- Okay. It's going out.

The father of the bride and the father of

the groom are not supposed to do anything

but grin like jack -o' -lanterns

and write checks,

and I think that's what we've been doing,

John, you and I, yeah? Right?

Williams' family. Carol-Jean and John.

Beautiful sister Kyrah.

And of course, Grand Mama Herreast.

And Specialist Joseph Gonzales.

As the good doctor said to start us off

with the meal,

we're glad that you're out of harm's way,

and we want you home for good.

Happy to be home. Thank you.

Williams' family, welcome to Connecticut

and its complicated tax structure.

We just met.

I just want you to know

how blessed we are to be

joining forces with you, and we've just met,

but I'm going to tell you, we love you.

Well, I have known Sidney for...

What is it? Fifteen, 20, 20...

Most of my life, most of my life.

He's been a great friend.

He's been with me through thick and thin.

And

I'll tell you,

sometimes it's gotten very, very thin.

But he stood by me through all of it and...

My friend, it is a pleasure and an honor

to be able to stand by you

on this profound occasion.

I love you, and you couldn't have done

any better here.

Cheers.

We are gathered here to celebrate love

pure and simple.

Rachel is pure. Sidney is simple.

May the two of you live and love

for as long as you want,

but never want for as long as you live.

And most importantly,

may all of your ups and downs

come only in the bedroom.

- You're paying for that, Emma.

- I can't believe I just did that.

- Be careful, be careful.

- Don't cut yourself.

I want to make a toast to the happy couple

'cause I want to come visit you in Hawaii.
