Serendipity Page #4

Synopsis: Jonathan Trager and Sara Thomas met while shopping for gloves in New York. Though buying for their respective lovers, the magic was right and a night of Christmas shopping turned into romance. Jon wanted to explore things further but Sara wasn't sure their love was meant to be. They decided to test fate by splitting up and seeing if destiny brought them back together... Many years later, having lost each other that night, both are engaged to be married. Still, neither can shake the need to give fate one last chance to reunite them. Jon enlists the help of his best man to track down the girl he can't forget starting at the store where they met. Sara asks her new age musician fiance for a break before the wedding and, with her best friend in tow, flies from California to New York hoping destiny will bring her soulmate back. Near-misses and classic Shakespearean confusion bring the two close to meeting a number of times but fate will have the final word on whether it was meant to be.

- We're going up here.|- Oh, that's okay.|Josh likes to ride either way.

- Don't you, Josh?|- [ Growling ]

Don't do that!|Don't touch those!

Hey, calm down.|He's just a kid.

[ Hisses ]

- Looks like we've stopped.|- [ Hisses ]

[ Snarling ]

[Yelling, Indistinct]

- We're going again.|- Thank you.

-[Josh]|Where is she? Is she here?|- No, no. I don't think so.

Come on, Josh.|Let's go, buddy.

[Jonathan]|Okay, stay alert.

- [Josh Crying ]|- Is she here?

- No, not here.|Back in the elevator.|- She's not here?

- Come on! Come on!|Move it! Come on, boy!|- [ Dog Barks ]

Hey, Sara. I'm sorry.

- Hey. I'm sorry.|- What?

I'm sorry.

[Man] I usually have to|beg to be a part of weddings.

And if I do get into the wedding,|of course they postponed it,

and it's overseas somewhere,|and they've canceled my passport,

and I can't be a part of it,|and it's ridiculous|and awkward and horrible.

So thank you.|I take this very seriously.

It's a gift|to be the best man.

They say that once in your lifetime,|someone comes along...

whom you're absolutely|meant to be with.

Everything feels great,|stars are aligned,

body and spirit|are in balance.

Formy friend|Jonathan Trager,

that person was me.

But as you know,|Jonny and I were simpatico.

We were brothers|from another mother.

We were friends|since freshman year.

I watched him go out|with woman after woman,|and he'd always come crawling--

he would come crawling|back to me.

- It was embarrassing.|- You loved it.

But then one night he came home|and things were different.

His adole scent dream of becoming|a documentary filmmaker|was a thing of the past.

- Thank God.|- He hardly even responded...

to my playful yet tormented|flicks of my finger...

against the soft part of his skull|as he studied for finals.

And that is because|he had found her.

The woman he was meant to be with.|And if anyone is qualified...

to know when he met his soul mate,|it would be me, his first wife.

She's smart, she's funny,|she's beautiful.

In short, she's the kind of woman|that any man would dream about.

And I think we all have.|So it is with sadness...

and fond, fond memories...

that I raise my glass...

to the new|Mrs. Jonathan Trager.

I'll tell you what.

I'll tell you something. My friends,|if I had to lose Jonny to anyone,

I can't imagine|a more perfect woman than Halley.

Cheers to both of you.

- How drunk is he|on a scale of one to ten?|- Twelve.

You think we'll ever out-romance|Dean and Courtney?

- I don't know. I don't think|I've ever seen them fight.|- Me neither.

Must be a b*tch|on their sex life.

We have a pomegranate souffle|which is amazing, which is|different than the sorbet.

Listen, we'd love|to join you guys,
