Second Hand Wedding Page #2

Synopsis: A small film with a big heart, SECOND HAND WEDDING is a bittersweet dramatic comedy set in the present, in a time when trademe and e-bay threaten the primeval urge for a firsthand crack at the second-hand.

Father of the bride, Brian, quips that Cheryl's upcoming wedding will be the first time anyone in the Rose family has given something away - and that's the crux of it.

Yeah, see the hallmark.

Sterling,

Cheryl is so lucky, that is fantastic.

I think it's actually one of a pair,

but it will still look alright on it's own on the bridal

table.

So any idea when Stew might pop the question?

Well the've been living together for almost a year.

Hmmmm, it's about time.

It's just that the minute I wear it to school,

everyone's going to get in a flap.

You just don't want to shout everyone morning tea,

that's it isn't it?

Do you know how much sausage rolls and

lamingtons cost these days?

Do you like it Miss Rose?

Yes Stew,

I like it very much.

So you going to ring your parents?

Tell them the good news?

Yeah, yeah, I will, I will.

Oh, it's just that...

What?

- Mum.

- What?

Well, she'll be all over this.

She'll start organising the wedding straight away,

she'll be at the Garage Sales day in day out.

I think you're letting your imagination run away with

you.

I don't want her turning our wedding into some cut-

price sale.

Hey.

Don't be silly, okay?

I'll tell you what, I'll get cleaned up.

And you and l, we'll go round and tell them

together...

...ay?

Oh I had another run in with Gracie Clearfield

today.

She's still really bitter about the fact that I got the

deputy principal job over her.

Hello.

Ah...

The prodigal daughter and boyfriend return.

- G'day Jill.

- Hungry?

Ah, no, no we've eaten thanks,

um, we've got something we need to tell you.

Stew, can I tell Mum on her own?

You're not pregnant are you?

- No.

- Nah, no.

Oh, that's a shame. Cause I got a lovely little

bassinet last Saturday.

Mum, what do you want with a bassinet?

Is there something you're not telling me love?

Oh well, you can laugh if you like. But it was a

bargain,

and it almost came in useful right here.

But I'm not pregnant.

No, but you almost were.

Right, well I think the ladies needs to talk, Stew.

Yeah.

Right, what's all this about then?

Well Mum, um...

Stew and I have decided to...

...get...

Look at her, the car that put the world on wheels.

Always wanted one of these Stew,

now here I am, living the dream.

It's a beauty Brian, a real beauty.

You've ah...

You've asked her to marry you haven't ya?

Bet she said yes.

Well you'd win that bet Brian.

I'll tell you this much Stew,

when I walk my daughter down that aisle, we're

gonna be making history.

History?

Yeah, well... It'll be the first time in living memory

this family has ever given anything away.

Brian, did Stew tell you?

Yeah, I think it's great.

Well, I think it's an absolutely stupid idea and I've

been trying talk her out of it.

- What?

- What?

She's allergic.

Allergic?

I told Mum about the cat Stew...You know the cat
