The Wedding ...Part Two

Father Campion [shaking his hand]: Congratulations David.

David: Oh, thank you, Father. I can't tell you how happy I am that you were able to fill in on such short notice.

Father Campion: My pleasure. Father McGehee was sorry he couldn't be here to see you through this time, but he sends his best wishes for a full life.

David: Please thank him for us. We plan to be deliriously happy. [David smiles as he watches Jenny with Larry].

Father Campion: Oh, I can see that.

Larry [kissing and hugging her]: Jen, I'm so happy for you!

Jenny [laughing]: Well, having the two of you here has really made it special.

Larry: Good!

Jenny [glancing at Cassie]: I see a bridesmaid over there that needs some attention. I'll talk to you later.

Larry: Okay hon.

Jenny: Those aren't tears, are they? This is supposed to be a very happy occasion!

Cassie: I'm very happy! [Jenny hugs her]. Oh, it was so beautiful!

Jenny: Thanks. Oh, I'm so glad that you and Larry were here!

Cassie: I just wish I'd brought a camera, so you could have something to remember this by.

Jenny: Well, you know, I now have a very adorable, handsome, brilliant, fantastic husband, so I think that's all I need.

Cassie: Mrs. Jenny Renaldi. You know, you're gonna have to get used to people calling you that?

Jenny: That's true. I think it sounds perfect, don't you?

Cassie: Perfect! And you're right. David is a lot better than pictures of David!

Jenny [looking at David]: Yeah. Since you don't have any mementos, how would you like my home-made bouquet?

Cassie: Oh, I'd love it, thank you!

Jenny: Want me to throw it to you?

Cassie: No! I don't think I'm ready to be next!

Jenny [handing her the bouquet, quietly]: Okay. Can I ask you a favor?

Cassie: Of course.

Jenny: Would you not tell anybody that David and I are married, not quite yet?

Cassie: I don't understand, why not?

Jenny: Well, we just want to choose the right time to tell people, okay?

Cassie: Sure.

Jenny: You don't sound sure.

Cassie [smiling, reassuring]: Don't worry about me on your wedding night.

Jenny: Okay.

Larry: David, I want to thank you ...

David: Oh, come on ...

Larry: ...for letting me be your best man.

David: Come on. You've got it backwards. It is I who must thank you, and do.

Larry: It was my privilege watching you and Jenny take your vows, especially after all you've been through.

David: Yes, listen, Jenny told me what happened between you and Laurel, and I don't know what to say. I'm very sorry.

Larry: Don't worry. I'll find out what's going on. I care too much about her to let it end this way.

A few minutes later ...

Jenny [approaching David and then kissing him]: It's just me, Mrs. Renaldi.

David: Ohhh .... [they hug each other tightly]

Jenny [suddenly]: I'm worried about Cassie.

David [surprised]: Why?

Jenny: Well, because here we are going off on our honeymoon, and she has to go home and see Dorian and lie to her about where she was tonight, and I asked Cassie not to say anything, and I feel bad about it now.

David: I know ...don't feel bad. Look, I feel the same way. Larry can't figure out what happened, why Laurel stopped seeing him, and I can't say anything to him either.

Jenny: I hate lying to people and we keep doing that.

David: I've got a solution, something we can do to stop it right now.

Jenny: Anything. If it's going to help matters, it's worth it.

Larry and Cassie approach them ...

Larry: Excuse us you two ... sorry to interrupt but we wanted to end this ceremony traditionally. [To Cassie]: You ready?

Cassie starts counting ... 1-2-3 ... and then she and Larry yell "Good luck" as they throw rice on Jenny and David.

Jenny [laughing]: Oh, great!

David [shakes his head, eyes still closed, smiling]: I knew that was coming.

Cassie: This wedding happened so fast that Larry bought the instant kind!

Larry: Well, it was cheap, on sale, what the heck?

Jenny: Instant rice? Oh, that's wonderful! I don't mind instant rice, I just want the marriage to last forever! [She turns to kiss and hug David, and then turns back to hug Cassie]: I'm very happy to be a part of your family. Thank both of you for being here.

Cassie: Thank you. Oh, and I have some exciting news to tell you guys, if it's not too immodest of me to bring it up now.

David: Come on, come on! Out with it!

Cassie: Well, I am valedictorian of the class of '84!

David: That's terrific Cassie! That's wonderful!

Cassie: Thank you. Now you two go and have a wonderful honeymoon!

David: Oh, thank you honey. Thanks for coming again!

As David and Jenny walk away, David exclaims: We really did it!
