All right, ladies, you're almost there!
You have worked so hard for the last six weeks,
for a lot of reasons!
Let's be honest, you want to look good in the dress,
am I right?
WOMEN: Yes!
Whoo! Yes! Hustle back, hustle back!
But, as I promised,
this class has been about so much more
than just the outside.
It has been about the inside as well.
[roars] Who's ready to get married?
Hi. I'm Daniel Counter.
I'm Claire.
Oh... "Counter Fit Gym."
That's really cute.
That's what we're going for!
So this is The Bridal Boot Camp class?
DANIEL: Sure is.
My fiancé signed me up as a surprise,
but he did not tell me what it was.
It's one of our most popular classes.
Six weeks, three times a week, led by Molly White,
who used to be a marriage counselor.
Really? She was?
Oh, yeah. She combines
exercise with yoga
and lessons about things like sharing and communication.
She even has the grooms attend several of the sessions
so they can work together as a couple.
But it's not scary-hard?
Ah, not scary...
Okay.
- Just hard. - Right.
MOLLY: I want you to look back and say,
"I was ready to trust!"
"I was able to share.
"I could be totally honest.
"I was able to embrace the things from my past
"that made me strong
and let go of the things that held me back!"
All right, ladies! Squat it out!
And most importantly,
"I was happy..."
Hold it down!
Bridal Boot Camp recruits,
you deserve it
in four more...
Down lower!
Three more...
Two more...
You look good!
Keep holding it! Feel the burn! Hold it!
Hold it! One more!
Keep holding, holding! Feel the burn!
I'm right here with you!
One more!
And you are done!
-[cheering] - Great job, everyone.
♪ Life of the party ♪♪
[♪♪♪]
Welcome to Counter Fit Gym.
- Hey, Molly! - Yeah?
I got a call from my sister.
She has a friend
that wants to enroll in your Bridal Boot Camp.
She just got engaged.
You know there's a three-month waiting list.
Add another class.
I can't add another class!
Sure you can. I own the gym. I make the schedules.
I have the highlighters.
Well, then you should know,
I am already teaching four boot camps,
two kickboxing classes,
and I am covering Nikki's spin class
while she's on maternity leave.
I still didn't hear a "no" in that sentence.
I'm gonna have to set up a cot
and just live here.
Still didn't hear a "no!"
All my plants are dying because I am never home.
Molly, everyone wants to take your boot camp.
It's innovative and fun,
and you're so talented and pretty!
Did you do something new with your hair?
You are incorrigible.
Is that a yes?
I will make you a deal.
I'm going to a former client's wedding tomorrow.
I was going to skip the reception
so that I could come back here and teach a spin class.
You cover that class,
and I will fit your sister's friend
into my next boot camp, which starts on Monday.
[laughs]
Where are you going?
To set up your cot in the back!
Hey. What do you think?
It's nice.
Lisa, you didn't even look.
I did! I said it's nice.
Well, okay. What about this one? Huh?
Mm-hmm.
Okay, very helpful, little sister.
Well, shouldn't you be helping me find a dress?
You're my maid of honor, my wedding is in six weeks.
Yes, but the one I am going to is tomorrow.
Okay, okay.
Relax.
You know... you could always postpone your wedding
if you think it's, uh, coming up too fast.
You're just saying that because you don't like Rennie.
I like Rennie!
I'm sorry.
I just want to make sure you know what you're doing.
I do.
Besides, that's why I agreed to take your boot camp.
It's supposed to turn me into Super-Bride, right?
Uh... [laughs]
No, it is supposed
to get you ready to get married.
Well, then, by the end of it, I will know what I'm doing.
Molly.
I thought you were gonna get rid of this.
It's been almost two years.
Well, there's not a big resale market
on left-at-the-altar bridal gowns.
I swear to God, if I ever run into Steven...
It was not his fault.
Well, it wasn't your fault!
I was a marriage counselor,
and I didn't recognize that the guy I was gonna marry
didn't actually want to get married.
That's like "Relationship 101."
Okay. So what was the class
where they taught you about letting go of the past,
and forgiving yourself?
I did. I am.
I'm working on it.
You know, this is why I do what I do now.
Marriage counseling is about
solving problems after they start,
but the boot camp is about fixing problems
before they ever begin.
Helps me just as much as it helps my students,
so that, if I ever do find myself
walking down the aisle again,
there will be someone at the end of it.
Oh, yeah. Relationship goals.
You know, to get there,
you are actually going to have to go on a couple of dates
every once in a while.
I am too busy to date.
Well, you're going to a wedding tomorrow!
That's a great place to meet a guy.
Ooh!
And you'll meet lots of them, if you wear this.
[laughing]
[quiet conversations, indistinct]
[♪♪♪]
[shutter snaps]
[phone vibrating]
Hey, guys. What's going on?
We're moving the wedding into the kitchen?
Interesting idea.
Not sure the band's gonna fit, but, uh...
Nick, tell her.
No, please tell him.
Tell her and him what?
Tell her
that it is bad luck for the bride and groom
to see each other before the wedding.
And tell him that is an archaic superstition
borne out of the days of arranged marriages.
Well... this wedding just got a lot more interesting.
- Nick. - I thought I was gonna be--
...taking photos the whole time.
This is way more fun.
Will you be serious, Nick?
Oh, guys, come on.
Brendan, I have known you since high school, man,
and, Elizabeth, I have known you since...
well, since you lost all common sense
and decided to start dating this bozo.
Not helping!
The point I'm making is that I know you guys.
Brendan, you always get stressed out
in high-pressure situations.
[snaps] I do not!
Case in point. Elizabeth, when that happens,
you always calm him down.
Well, I've had enough practice.
Exactly! So, since this can't possibly be
about seeing each other before the wedding--
because that is ridiculous--
what are we talking about?
[sighing]
Brendan...
I want to share
that the reason I wanted to see you
is because I wanted to make sure
you were staying calm.
Elizabeth...
I want to share
that I was so calm
until you tried to look at me.
You were?
Yeah. I...
Give me your hand.
Honey, I love you.
I don't want to spend one more minute
not married to y--
But don't look at me!
-[laughs] Okay. - Please.
All right. I'm not looking.
What was the "I want to share" thing?
It's this exercise we learned.
We really should have been doing it all along.
So then we're good to go?
Yeah. We're good.
Yes. We're fine.
- Don't! Why-- - Sorry!
- Sorry. - I said it.
- I just said it. - Okay.
Do this for me.
Brendan, you ready?
Where are we going?
We are gonna go watch a lovely lady
in a gorgeous white dress
walk down the aisle,
and make the biggest mistake of her life.
- Don't look at me! - I'm joking.
I can feel it!
[mouthing words]
- I love you so much! - Love you, too.
- Hi, Molly. - Brendan.
Is everything okay?
I got your text.
It's okay. Crisis is averted.
- Are you sure? - I'm sure.
I think it's just the pre-wedding jitters
you warned us about in boot camp.
Good. You had me worried.
Nothing to worry about.
Brendan and I just completely forgot how to communicate
for a couple of minutes,
then a friend pointed out
how silly we were being,
and everything you taught us came rushing back.
I think the only thing missing was the medicine ball.
I have one in my car.
I think we're okay.
Especially now that I know what's really important.
And what's that?
I look incredible in this dress.
Yes, you do!
Seriously, Molly,
we wouldn't be here if it wasn't for you.
You did all the work.
I just gave you the place to do it.
Now, are you ready to get married?
Ahh!
[laughing]
Yes! You best believe I am.

Hey, why aren't you dancing?
Oh, there's no one to dance with.
Ahh. Sure there is.
There's...
Nick. Come here.
Molly. Molly, Nick.
- Hi. - Hi.
Dance.
Oh! No, no, no, no, no, no.
No, no, no, I have danced
and tried to take photos before.
It never works out!
Nick, you've been to enough weddings
to know that you should never argue with the bride.
Besides, I think there's some kind of law that states,
if you're on a dance floor, you have to dance.
Well, I guess we have no choice, then.
You got to take this.
Be very careful.
Okay.
[song ends]
Oh.
[slow song starts]
I guess.
All right.
Um, I'm Molly. Like she said.
Nick. Nice to be forced to meet you.
[laughs] Nice to be forced to meet you, too.
I bet this isn't what you pictured you'd be doing
when you took the job.
Oh, nothing surprises me with these two.
I mean, I'm shocked that she didn't have me
playing the wedding march
when she was walking down the aisle.
- Are you a musician? - Nope. Not in the least.
And, as you can see,
I'm not much of a dancer, either,
but, uh, here I am anyway.
So, how do you know the Wonder Twins?
[laughs] Elizabeth was a client of mine.
I run a Bridal Boot Camp.
Oh! Well, isn't that kismet?
The bridal boot camp instructor
and the wedding photographer.
Match made in heaven.
So, how long have you been--
How long have you been doing this?
Oh, I know. Not nearly long enough.
It's not my fault, it's my parents' fault.
I have no rhythm. It's genetic. I don't know what happened.
[cracking up]
[stammers]
The wedding photography.
Oh...
Yeah!
Well, that's embarrassing.
Um, a few years, I guess?
Nah, I tried to be a serious photographer--
galleries and stuff--
but I had a problem
with the whole "starving artist" thing.
You know, I like to eat.
Ah. Eating is good.
Yeah, it is.
Oh! Uh...
Sorry. I kicked your foot?
Didn't need that left foot anyway.
Well, that's good to know.
I was aiming for the right.
You know what? I don't think she's looking.
I think we can make a run for it.
Oh. Do we dare?
Let's dare. All right. Head down. Come on. Follow me.
I told you I'm not much of a dancer.
Come on.
Okay. I think we made it!
Should we make a run for the border?
Oh, shoot! Forgot my passport.
Ohh! Rookie mistake.
Think we're gonna have to risk just staying put for now.
Okay. But if she hunts us down
and makes us do the chicken dance,
it's your fault.
[laughs] Noted.
Good.
So, wedding photography.
Yes.
Do you enjoy it?
Yeah, I do.
Oh.
I mean, I love documenting these days.
These are the memories
people are gonna have forever, you know.
I mean, don't get me wrong.
I would love to have some of my other work
up in a museum, or a gallery,
or something like that,
on a wall, telling a story,
and people can see it, and they could--
I'm carrying on a little bit.
I can tell.
- No! - Actually, tell you what.
How about you?
What made you want to be the matrimonial drill sergeant?
[laughs]
Well, I mean, I want to help people
have successful marriages,
and it's not just about push-ups.
Oh, well, that's a relief,
'cause I thought you were gonna make me drop and give you 20.
The night is young.
Not that I couldn't, 'cause I could, I'm super-tough.
Obviously.
Like, I could totally do 20... but I choose not to.
You might need to take my boot camp.
No, I don't think so. But it is fascinating!
How does one get into the Bridal Boot Camp business, anyway?
Oh... uh...
it's a long story.
Yeah? Well, I think we have about a minute
before the song's over
and Elizabeth hunts us down.
Longer than that.
Oh. I see. Long story.
I got a few of those myself, so I can relate.
Maybe I could hear them sometime.
I don't think they make songs that long.
[chuckles]
But you know what? Just thinking...
You know, I run into a lot of brides
that could use some coaching.
I'm sure you run into a lot that could use
a decent wedding photographer,
so I think maybe we should get together and just...
I don't know.
Yeah. Sure. I would like that.
Okay, good. Well, let's do that. Ah...
I should probably get back in there.
I don't think she's gonna pay me if I just stand out here
and talk to you all night long.
Probably not.
- Yeah. - Nick!
Nick!
Nick, we need a picture!
What? I can't hear you!
Come on!
[laughing]
Okay, I'll be right there.
- You better go. - Yeah.
I think I'm gonna keep making a run for it.
Very good idea.
Molly, it's been an absolute pleasure.
Likewise.
Okay.
Thank you
for rescuing me from my wallflower status.
It's the least I could do
for letting me dance all over your feet.
Thank you.
Okay, well, I-- I better go.
- Bye. - Seeya.
[♪♪♪]
Hi.
Shh.
Shh?
Why are you shushing me?
I'm watching a show about weddings.
That is all you ever watch these days.
Uh... yeah. I'm getting married.
Is there a handsome wedding photographer in it?
Wedding photographer?
Wait a second. What's that smile for?
Smile? What? Am I smiling?
Okay, you are not just smiling...
you're swooning!
You met a guy.
Oh, I met a guy!
Ah! [squeals]
Tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me!
Well, his name is Nick.
I like it. One-syllable names are very in right now.
Okay, and he is a photographer.
Okay. Interesting. Artistic.
And he's really funny, witty,
the fast-on-his-feet kinda guy, you know?
A sense of humor is crucial.
But you're leaving out the most important part.
What's the most important part?
Is he cute?
That is not the most important part.
But, yeah, he's really cute.
[both laughing]
I am so excited about this class.
My friend, Becky, took it and she said
it is the absolute best ever,
like, life-altering.
Oh, I'm Quinn, by the way.
Lisa.
Claire.
Mike...
Mike?
That... is different.
What? Oh, no.
Mike is my assistant
who can't follow simple instructions.
I'm Abby.
Hi.
QUINN: So, how did you find out about this class?
It was my fiancé's idea.
He thinks I work too much.
Oh.
And, um, what about you?
Molly threatened to call our parents if I didn't join.
Oh, I-- I heard she was tough, but...
No, no, no.
Molly's my sister.
Your sister?
- We're in trouble. - Why?
Because she's gonna try to get you back
for everything you did to her as a kid.
Hey, everyone! I'm Molly White,
and we're gonna get started in just a few minutes,
so claim a space, stretch out,
get ready to work.
Hey, um, just a reminder...
I have to take it easy today because of my back.
There's nothing wrong with your back.
Yes, there is.
No, I-I've got a problem with my discs.
That's a thing, right?
Go stretch.
You look really pretty today.
- Stretch! - Okay.
Yeah, we're in trouble.
[quietly] Nick?
Uh, just hang on, I'll be back in just a second.
[music playing in background]
Molly!
This is that friend of my sister's.
Jenna, this is Molly.
She does the Bridal Boot Camp.
Hi, Molly.
I really appreciate you squeezing me in.
Yeah, no problem. We're about to get started,
so why don't you head on down, okay?
Oh, let me just introduce you to my fiancé.
Just really, really quick, okay?
Hey, Nick, sweetie?
Nick...
Oh. Yeah.
Nick, this is Molly. Molly, this is my fiancé.
NICK: Small world, huh?
It's, yeah, it's tiny.
It's microscopic, as a matter of fact.
Yeah, we met at Brendan and Elizabeth's wedding.
Right, but, we--
We danced. I guess you could call it that.
You danced with my fiancé?
Yes. Uh... we-- I--
[stammering]
It was Elizabeth's fault!
Oh, no, no, no! I am so sorry.
I have seen Nick dance.
It is not pretty.
Right!
Two left feet.
Two left feet! [laughs]
I'm standing right here, guys.
I can hear everything you're saying.
It's not lost on me.
Aw, sweetheart. I'm so, so sorry,
but you are good at other things.
Yeah.
So you two met,
and now here we are. Isn't that funny?
It's funny.
Yeah, it is.
Since we're both in the bridal business,
we thought we would maybe share some clients.
That's great. See, I told you
that talk with my father would help.
Look at you, networking!
Please, don't start with that.
I keep trying to convince him
to join my father's investment firm.
And then I remind her
that I know nothing about investment banking,
because I am a photographer.
Yeah, I know,
and you're really, really great at it,
it's just, when it comes to business...
Yeah, I'm even worse at that than I am dancing, it's true.
[laughs]
So, Molly? Time for class?
Yeah. Yeah. Uh...
Let's head in.
'Kay, great, I'll pick you up in an hour?
Yeah. Okay. Bye.
Bye. Molly, it was great to see you again.
Let's do that coffee.
Let's see if we can make this work.
Yeah, great. I love coffee.
No, you don't!
- I do. - Hey, can we have a chat?
Yeah, yeah. Absolutely.
Bye!
Hi.
[indistinct exchanges]
Hi, everyone, again.
I am Molly White.
And let's get started on your boot camp!
Bridal Boot Camp.
Because you are all brides...
Getting married to great guys.
I'm presuming they're great guys.
Haven't met them. Met yours.
And he seems great.
He is.
[all chuckling]
Okay. Uh...
As you know, this is a six-week course
and, every week, we are going to focus on
one of six core principles--
trust,
communication, honesty,
commitment,
sharing, and forgiveness.
Now, sometimes, it's going to be just us,
and other times
we'll invite your fiancés.
Nick gets to come to class?
Oh!
Yeah.
Yes.
That-- That'll be fun.
So much fun.
Um...
[stammering] Anyway!
You are going to learn.
You are going to work hard.
And you are going to be amazing.
Grab yourselves a Swiss ball.
Let's get started!
Oh, wow. That was...
Hard.
- That was... - That was hard.
I think I need an ambulance.
[whimper-chuckle]
You're laughing.
I think I literally need an ambulance.
That was a great workout, Molly.
Thanks!
I cannot tell you how much I appreciate
you letting me join at the last second.
Happy to help.
It probably could have waited.
I mean, we've been dating for a while now,
but we've only been engaged for a couple weeks,
and we haven't even picked a date yet,
It's just, I'm going to do everything that I can
to make sure that we have the perfect wedding.
You know, sometimes, it's the imperfections
that make for a really memorable wedding,
and a more realistic marriage.
Interesting.
But I really think that I can do it.
My sister, Karen, got married almost a month ago
and our whole family just thought
that she had the most perfect wedding,
and I know that I can beat her.
I don't think a wedding should be a competition.
There's Nick.
Now, if I can just turn him into the perfect groom
before the ceremony, everything should be a snap.
Okay, I'll see you Thursday. Bye.
I'm just gonna shower real quick, then we can go.
Yeah, yeah, sure. Okay.
I'll wait for you right here.
Okay.
Hey, Molly? Molly!
Want me to go get her?
Yeah, do you mind?
She's got, like, another class in five minutes,
and I need to man the front desk.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, sure.
- Okay. - I'll be back in a minute.
Hey.
Molly!
Hey, hey, hey!
Molly.
Hi!
Did you not hear me calling you?
No, it's really loud out here with the rain and boat traffic.
[rain pattering lightly]
Yeah... it's deafening.
So, where are you off to in the rain like this?
Just, uh, just off.
Well, Daniel asked me to come and get you,
because he said you have another class in a few minutes.
Yes. My class.
This is what I like to do in between my classes.
I like to, um...
get some fresh air and keep my heart rate up.
Great.
Listen, you know, I don't want to seem off-base, because,
you know, we don't know each other that well really,
but you kind of seem like something is bothering you.
You sure you're okay?
Yeah. I'm fine.
Really?
No.
Okay, well, is it me? Something that I did?
No. No, no. No.
Uh...
When we met at the wedding--
Yeah?
I didn't know that...
I didn't know that you were engaged.
Oh...
Yeah.
I-I can totally see how you made that mistake.
That is all my fault.
No, no, no, no, no. No. Sorry.
It's not your fault.
It's my fault.
I just misinterpreted the whole situation.
I just thought that you were...
I mean, I thought that we were kinda...
I get that. That was never my intention.
I wish I had known
that your fiancée was gonna take my boot camp.
In all honesty, I didn't know until this morning either.
She wanted to surprise me.
I was surprised.
I was surprised!
[laughs]
Hey, I really am sorry.
Let's just forget this--
Okay.
-...Ever happened! - Okay. It's forgotten.
Okay.
You'll just come to a couple classes,
and then that'll be it.
Actually, you know what?
Hey, Nick, did you tell Molly the good news?
What news?
I hired Nick to do a photo shoot for the gym.
We're gonna redo the website, new brochures...
Everything!
He's gonna be here for the next few weeks.
See? That's what happens if you network!
Turn you into a business tycoon,
if it kills me.
[♪♪♪]
NICK: Yep.
JENNA: I think the job at the gym is great, Nick.
I mean, I still think that my father's firm
would be a really good thing to have in your back pocket--
NICK: Come on. How many times do I have to tell you?
I don't want to work for your Dad's firm.
Anyway, so, next week,
we have our first appointments
to audition caterers,
still got to figure out a venue,
and you probably want to get fitted for your tux.
Sure. I can do that.
But, no, you can't,
because I need to find my wedding dress first.
That's what I meant, bad idea.
I mean, think of it this way.
It's a great way to get used to the idea
that my needs always come first.
I'm kidding, sweetheart.
Of course you are.
So... how's it going in there?
LISA: Slowly.
Why?
Because somebody tortured me in a workout class this morning
and now I can't lift my own arms over my head.
Sorry.
- No, you're not. - No, I'm not.
[chuckling]
LISA: You know, one of these days,
I'm gonna band the girls together,
and we will start an uprising against you.
I would expect nothing less.
And I think I can get everyone.
Except maybe Jenna,
she'd definitely be on your side.
Oh, I don't know about that.
Was that her fiancé in the lobby this morning?
Uh, yes.
Nick.
He's a wedding photographer.
He's going to take some photos of the gym.
Coincidence.
Isn't your wedding photographer guy Nick, too?
[scoffs]
No!
Molly, her Nick is your Nick?
No, no, no. He's not my Nick.
And-And... [sighs]
It was-- It was just a big misunderstanding.
Forgetting to tell you he's engaged
was a misunderstanding?
Lisa, can we just drop it?
Okay. Okay.
I'm just saying,
it's a little weird that he calls it a misunderstanding.
Just drop it, okay?
Okay.
[weary sigh]
So, are you going to show me that dress or what?
[gasping]
Wow...
It's good?
It's perfect.
It's expensive!
I mean, it's one-of-a-kind, so it's really expensive.
Yes. Well, it's worth it.
I mean, honey, look at you.
It's perfect. [gasps]
This is the dress.
This is my dress.

Hi!
Good morning.
You're here.
Well, I wanted to get
a headstart before your first class,
and... then I saw this...
beautiful photo board,
which I love.
Me too.
Yeah. This, um...
this is what gets me up in the morning.
Every single one of these pictures
tells a special story for me.
That's very nice.
[chuckles]
We're, uh, working out outside
for the rest of the week.
Really? You do classes outside, too, huh?
We, well, when the weather permits, yeah.
Well, maybe, uh...
Oh, oh.
- Wait a second. -[shutter snapping]
Can you look at me and smile?
There you go.
Well, since you're doing classes outside,
maybe I should tag along with Jenna's tomorrow.
Well, uh, s-- sure, yeah.
That's, um...
That's fine.
I, uh, I guess, what is it, next week,
we're supposed to actually join the class?
Yes, fiancés join some of the classes.
That sounds great.
We can do aerobics together. So exciting!
No. We do more than just exercise.
I'm teaching people how to communicate,
how to be honest,
and share.
Right. So you're incorporating
the lessons you taught as a marriage counselor
with fitness instruction?
Yes.
How did you know I was a marriage counselor?
I read your bio on the gym's website.
But it didn't say
why you made the transition.
I'm assuming
that's the long story that you were talking about?
That would be the one.
Right.
You're not gonna tell me, are you?
Nope! But that's okay, 'cause I can guess.
Oh!
I'm good at this. I really am, trust me.
- Right. - You're gonna be amazed.
[deep, dramatic breath]
You're a spy.
It's obvious-- you're a spy,
and you're now in the witness protection program,
and you're on the run from some dude named "Lefty."
[Russian accent] Yes. How did you know?
My name's Svetlana.
This boot camp is big cover-up.
[laughs]
Interesting accent.
Sorry.
Nonetheless, your secret is safe with me.
I should, uh, get my music...
I'll get this stuff out of here
and I'll start shooting upstairs,
and we're good.
- Okay. - Okay.
What do I got here?
JENNA: I don't like any of these.
NICK: I'm sure they're all very nice.
I don't want nice.
I want perfect.
Karen's wedding...
Oh, no, please, don't start on your sister's wedding again.
I'm not getting started on anything!
Look, she started it.
Karen always had to be the first at everything,
so all I ever got were her hand-me-downs.
Karen may have had the first wedding,
but mine's going to be the best.
The competition between you two guys is out of control.
What do you mean?
Well, you tried to steal her thunder
by getting up at her wedding reception
and announcing our engagement.
So?
Well, I hadn't actually proposed to you yet.
Okay, maybe I'm a little bit competitive,
but it's not like we hadn't talked about it.
I mean, we have been dating for a while.
We knew that's where we were going.
Yeah, well, we weren't there yet.
I was, and you got there.
I mean, you proposed, after all.
Yes, I did.
And I do want to marry you,
but I think we just need to back off
on the whole "perfect wedding" thing.
Okay? Hello?
[sighs heavily]
Well, I am certainly not gonna find it here.
I'm gonna call you later, okay? -Oka-- [beep]
[dial tone buzzing]
[sighing]
So...
I think we've finally figured it out.
We're going with the carrot wedding cake.
Oh, that's... different.
Well, my fiancé is a vegetarian, so...
anyways, now that we have the cake settled,
I just have to find my wedding dress.
I got mine
at this really cool place called "Bridal Expressions."
They've got all sorts of one-of-a-kind creations.
One of a kind? That's really interesting.
Thank you, Lisa!
This is so great, you know?
All of us brides working together,
helping each other out, sharing secrets.
Please, I'm not giving any of you
the really good stuff I've found for my ceremony.
Yeah, no, me either. I'm winning my wedding.
[brides laughing]
[laughter stops]
Uh, how do you "win" a wedding?
Well, by being the best, of course.
And then everybody goes, "Wow, that was
"the best wedding I've ever been to!
That was so much better than Karen's."
Who's Karen?
[weak chuckle] Never mind.
MOLLY: All right, everyone!
Are you ready for your first partner class?
Yeah.
Yeah! Grooms! Please, come, join us.
Hi, Molly.
Hi, Rennie.
So this boot camp thing's pretty cool.
Should I, like, call you "Sarge" or something?
[laughs]
No, "Molly" is fine.
Why don't you guys grab a spot?
Good morning, recruits!
Gentlemen, thank you for being here.
Now, I know most of you
probably came here today
because your future wives asked you to be here,
but these classes where you work together
are just as much for you as they are for them.
Today's exercises are going to focus on...
trust!
One of the cornerstones of any good relationship.
And, to do that, we are going to be doing some partner yoga.
Now, don't worry if you've never done any yoga before.
We're going to start very simple,
and I just need a volunteer
to help me demonstrate the first pose.
Nick can do it!
Um, yeah, sure.
- Okay. Sure. - Yeah, great, Nick, come on up.
Thank you.
So, our first pose is going to be "Back-to-Back Chair."
So, we'll go back to back...
Uh-huh. Okay.
And then you're going to link your arms behind you.
All right.
And then you'll slowly walk your feet forward,
until you're in the sitting position.
This requires trust.
You need to both move at the same speed.
And...
are you ready to go?
Yeah, as ready as I'm ever gonna be.
Okay!
Here we go. Okay.
Are we going?
We're going!
There you go.
And then, once you're down,
hold it... and breathe...
And, when you're ready,
you'll slowly walk your feet back up
into the standing position. You ready to go?
- I'm ready to go up! - Okay. [laughing]
And here we go! Up, up, up!
And there you go!
Very nice, Nick!
Okay!
Now, everybody, grab a spot!
Back-to-back, link your arms...
behind you.
I'm the master of this one, you know?
- Yeah. - I'm good.
We better get this.
NICK: You're whacking me with your ponytail.
- Whoa. - Are you coming?
No, no, just a second,
I think you're walking way too fast!
No, no-- Oh!
Okay...
That's all right. It's all right.
Not everyone gets it on the first try.
[♪♪♪]
Hey, honey,
Before we get out there.
I just want to say
you're not going to embarrass me
like you did last week, right?
I thought we agreed
that our inability to do a yoga pose
was no a big deal.
You're right. I'm sorry.
But maybe today we could do better.
Sure.
Hey, everybody! Hello.
MOLLY: All right! Welcome back, grooms.
Thank you for coming back.
Uh, last week was all about trust,
and this week...
we are working on
sharing.
Now, don't worry.
What we're gonna do...
is...
everybody gets one of these medicine balls.
You're going to lift it over your head,
bring it down into a squat,
and then you're going to pass it to your partner,
and then your partner will do the same back to you.
But, before you pass the ball,
I want you to say,
"I want to share..."
and then share something.
Um, quick question.
What kinds of things are we supposed to share?
Anything. Could be big stuff, could be little stuff,
could be stuff you already shared with your partner.
Really doesn't matter.
The important thing is to get in the habit
of sharing with your partner
so that you can work together as a team.
All right? Okay!
Here you go.
Oh! I'm so sorry. I have to take this.
I'll be right back.
Hello?
Well, I guess it's you and me again, huh?
Okay, why don't you help me get things set up?
- Yeah, sure. Of course. - Hi, Dad.
Hey, did you get a look over Nick's resume again?
And do you think you can find a place for him there?
But you hired Karen's husband,
and I know that he has investment banking experience,
but you could teach him.
No, no, the photography thing's just, like, a hobby.
Dad, I understand, but I'm pretty sure that...
Okay, uh...
I want to share
that I was born in Detroit
but I moved here when I was four,
when my dad got a job at Portland State.
Okay... good one.
Um...
I want to share
that, uh...
I was born and raised here and I love it.
Even with all the rain?
Oh, I love the rain. Yeah, it's cathartic.
And it looks really good in pictures, too, so.
Why did you become a photographer?
Uh-uh-uh-uh...
You didn't share.
Oh, someone was paying attention.
Always paying attention.
All right. Uh, I want to share
that I want to know
why you became a photographer.
Did you see that? Did you see?
I see what you did.
Very slippery fish.
Uh, okay...
Fine. We'll do it your way.
I want to share...
I got a camera for my birthday, when I was a kid,
and soon as I picked it up, I just knew.
It clicked.
[giggles]
I don't know, there's just something
about capturing a moment.
And it's not just a photo,
it's... [sighs]
...it's like holding a memory in your hand.
That's nice.
It's cheesy, right? You think it's cheesy.
No...
it's nice.
Okay, well, here, your turn.
Oh, okay, uh, what else?
I want to hear the long story.
Come on!
No.
It's just you, me, and the ball!
And my whole class.
Forget those guys. Just talk to me.
Just tell me.
[exhales deeply]
I want to share that I...
almost got married.
Like, walking-down-the-aisle-
and-there's-no-groom- at-the-end-of-it "almost".
Yikes. What happened?
Oh, I, uh...
I wish I could say there was one thing,
like, he didn't like the way I chewed, but...
We just weren't ready.
Okay, so, what'd you do?
Well, I spent
a lot of time trying to figure out what went wrong,
analyzing it
from a very clinical and rational point of view.
Hmm. Well, that sounds very healthy.
Oh, I forgot to mention, I was eating also--
everything in sight...
like, cookies and chips and candy, and...
just everything!
If it didn't move, I ate it.
Okay, got it. So, not exactly healthy.
I, eventually, I figured that out,
and I started exercising,
and, funnily enough, I felt better.
Imagine that.
Well, that's, I mean,
that's what brought me to this point.
Why I'm doing what I'm doing.
I want other people to feel better,
physically and mentally.
I want people to feel strong when they get married.
I'm very impressed by you, Molly.
Aw, no, come on.
Okay, fine, we'll do it your way.
[laughing]
I would like to share the fact
that I am very impressed by you, Molly.
Okay, thank you, Dad. Love you. Bye.
I'm so sorry about that.
Here.
Okay. Um... so.
I want to share, let's see...
how hot all this is gonna make me look
in my new wedding dress.
If I ever find one.
Yeah, yeah. That's really good.
That's good, right? Okay, um...
really good one. Okay. Uh...
I would like to share...
[♪♪♪]
I don't know. They're all very nice, but...
I understand.
You want it to be perfect.
Yes! Thank you.
I am so glad that somebody gets it.
Well, we have new items coming in
all the time, so you can just check back.
[♪♪♪]
This is the dress!
That is it!
I'm sorry, that dress is sold.
It should be on the Alterations rack.
No, no, no, no. There must be a mistake,
because this is my perfect dress.
I don't know what to tell you.
Well, do you have any others like it?
Actually, no. These are one-of-a-kind creations.
Well, then you're gonna have to tell whoever bought it
that they can't have it anymore.
I'm sorry, really.
No. No, no, no, no. Please.
Please!
MOLLY: Nice haircut, Rennie.
LISA: So? What do you think, sweetheart?
RENNIE: I like it! It's got a good vibe.
I know, me too!
I mean, at first, I wasn't sure,
because I thought it would be too formal,
but then, when I started picturing it with flowers
and Hector playing the bagpipes...
What, bagpipes?
Me in my dress and you in the kilt.
Kilt?
I'm 1/16th Scottish.
- Yeah, he is. -1/16th Scottish.
LISA: Oh, my goodness.
Wow!
Okay, this, this is perfect.
Baby, I'm gonna go check out the kitchen.
Okay.
Oh. Oh, my goodness.
[squeals]
[chuckles] Oh.
Wow.
Hey. What's going on with you?
You seem a little judgey.
Okay, look.
Bagpipes? Come on! Really?
Molly! This is my wedding!
And I will have it the way I want it,
and I want bagpipes, lots of 'em!
Like, a parade of bagpipes!
Do you think they actually do that?
[laughing] Okay. All right.
NICK: Jenna, honey, it's just a dress.
It's my dress!
You know, I think you're making a bigger deal of this
than it needs to be.
I don't think that you understand!
Well, you're right, I don't understand.
So, why don't you help me?
Hey, you remember that exercise?
"I want to share..."
I want to share...
This is a really big deal!
[sighing heavily]
I want to share that you need to calm down a little bit,
there are other dresses out there.
Not as good as this dress.
And I know, I know,
you're thinking, "she's a total Bridezilla."
Well, you came running out of a store crying,
'cause you couldn't get the dress you want.
Well, what would you call that?
So because I want my wedding to be flawless,
suddenly, I'm the bad guy?
You keep saying that.
Saying what?
"My" wedding.
But it's not, it's our wedding, right?
Yeah, of course. That's what I meant.
"Our wedding."
[♪♪♪]
He's really good.
I know!
And it only cost me a membership!
He's gonna shoot your boot camp, too.
New pictures for the wall.
Uh, so you're cool to open tomorrow?
I've got that fitness conference
in the morning.
Yes, of course. Have fun.
Great. Thanks. Uh, hey.
Can you give that tablet back to Nick?
Why can't you do it?
Because I'm not gonna be here, remember?
From ten seconds ago?
Right.
Take a look at some of the other pictures he took.
They're amazing.
I'll be in around 4:00!
Okay.
[♪♪♪]
[door bell jingles]
Hi.
We're about to close.
Could I just look at a dress really quick?
Please?
Sure. I'll be with you in a minute.
Thank you.
[♪♪♪]
[heavy sigh]
[♪♪♪]
That... is a beautiful dress.
I know.
I wish it was mine.
Why can't it be?
Well, because it's...
Really?
Well, hello there!
Oh!
Uh, hi!
Hi!
Um, Daniel called me and he told me that, uh,
he gave my tablet to you?
Uh, well, I was gonna give it to you tomorrow, but, uh...
Here.
Thank you so much.
I'm showing Brendan and Elizabeth
their wedding photos--
- Nice! -...First thing tomorrow.
- Nice, nice. Great. - Yeah.
Uh, how'd you know where I live?
Well, I followed you.
[both laughing]
No, I'm kidding. Daniel gave me your address.
Hope that's okay.
I promise I won't tell Lefty where you're at.
[Russian accent] Oh, I appreciate that.
No, it's totally fine.
Okay. Well, thank you.
Um, guess I'll see you at the gym.
I really like your pictures.
Sorry, what?
Uh, your pictures.
We were looking at the gym photos,
and then I-I wanted to see more of your work.
I hope you don't mind.
No! No, no, no. I don't mind at all.
So you liked them, huh?
Tell me more!
[laughs] I love them, actually.
I really like the one of the tree in the rain.
Well, I get what you mean-- cathartic.
Well, thank you. Yeah.
That-- That one's actually one of my faves.
You're an incredible photographer.
Ahh!
No, really, why don't you do more of those?
Well, I would like to, but, unfortunately,
the bank won't accept my incredible photography skills
as payment on my mortgage.
Very short-sighted of them.
I keep telling them that!
If it means anything,
I would accept one of those as payment,
so if you ever want a cardio kick-boxing class...
Well, thank you, that does mean a lot to me.
I'll pass on the kick-boxing for now.
- Really? - Yeah.
Anyway, um... thank you.
Actually, you know what? Since--
Since I got you here, can I ask you a question?
Yeah.
Just kinda a hypothetical.
If you had known, when your wedding didn't...
Yep?
Um, would you have...
called it off,
or would you have tried to fix it?
Oh.
Uh... [chuckles]
Well, uh...
I think I would've tried to fix it.
That's the whole point of the boot camps, right?
I want people to feel strong when they get married.
I don't want another bride
standing there, feeling the way I did...
in that dress.
Okay.
Thank you.
See you at the gym.
[♪♪♪]
Ooh! Nick! They're beautiful.
Oh, I love it, I love this one.
Oh, yeah, that is a good one.
That's a good one.
I don't look squinty in that one.
You don't look squinty in any of them.
Oh! You can fix the squinty, right?
Yeah, of course! Stop squinting.
So, guys, how's married life going, anyway?
- It's great! - Yeah?
Yeah. Best decision I ever made.
Of course he has to say that, 'cause I'm in the room.
I would say that
regardless of where you were, and you know that.
Aww.
Yeah.
We did good.
What about you? You guys set a date?
Um... a date?
Well, no, not-- I mean,
we've only been engaged for a few weeks, so...
Is everything okay?
I don't know. Uh... [sighing]
When you were engaged,
did you guys ever have any, um...
like, doubts?
- Absolutely. - Every day.
Really?
[laughing] Yes!
It's totally normal, Nick.
Okay, well, how did you get over it?
Well, Molly's boot camp really helped.
Yeah.
Mm.
We learned what was really important
and what was just silly stuff
that we were letting distract us.
But, also, I think,
you just kind of know in your heart that it's right.
You know, even with all the silliness
in the kitchen before the wedding,
it was okay,
because, in the end, I couldn't picture it any other way,
than, well...
that.
[chatter, indistinct]
Thanks for coming out with us, coach.
I'm surprised you don't have us
running laps to burn off the calories.
I don't work all the time.
Right. She's gonna make us pay for this
tomorrow in class.
Hey, why didn't Jenna come?
Oh, she's looking at flowers for her wedding.
Hey, what do you guys think about her and Nick?
You noticed it, too, huh?
They just didn't seem like they were...
- Connected! -[overlapping] Yes!
Exactly!
Guys, let's talk about something else.
I mean, Nick did the partner yoga thing better with Molly
than he did with Jenna.
No, he didn't.
Yeah! He did.
You know, I think we should order.
Where's that waiter?
Well, she did say it herself.
She wants to win, and I don't think it matters with who.
Good. Great technique, man. Remember to breathe.
Breathe, Colleen.
Hey, Nick.
Hey, Daniel.
Did you get the tablet back from Molly?
Yeah, I did. Thank you.
No, thank you.
The pictures of the gym are great.
Oh, good.
No, seriously, I can't believe
you're thinking of giving this up.
You're way too good, man.
Sorry. Why would I give it up?
I overheard Jenna on the phone last week.
She said something about a gig with her dad's company?
Sorry, what?
Maybe I heard wrong.
Yeah.
Yeah, maybe you heard wrong.
[♪♪♪]
[doorbell rings]
Hi.
So, when were you going to tell me?
Tell you what?
About the interview you set up at your dad's company.
Are you trying to get me a job there again?
Well, yes, but...
Oh, come on!
I didn't set up any sort of interview.
I wouldn't do that without talking to you first.
Who told you about that, anyway?
Does it matter?
Nick, relax. It was a hypothetical conversation.
That way, if you ever wanted to do anything else...
I don't want to do something else.
I love what I do!
Of course you do, and it's fine.
"Fine"?
Really? It's fine?
You know, I'll have you know
that some people think that my photography
is better than "fine".
Okay, you know what I meant.
It's good to have another option, just in case.
In case what?
Nick, we're getting married.
We're gonna start a family.
We need to be thinking about the future.
Yeah, I am, I am thinking about the future.
Well, what does that mean?
That means that you seem to have some kind of vision
about how everything is supposed to be.
How the wedding is supposed be,
how the marriage is supposed to be,
what I'm supposed to be like.
It just doesn't seem like I have any say in any of that.
Nick, if you don't want the job with my dad--
I don't want the job with your dad!
That's not what I'm talking about!
Well, what are you talking about?
I'm talking about us, Jenna.
I'm talking
about us.
Into every marriage a little rain must fall, ladies.
It's not all going to be sunshine and flowers.
Work through it!
You don't have to love it,
but you can't give up because of it.
And be honest!
Honesty is the cornerstone of every good relationship.
You want to say something,
but you might be afraid to say it out loud.
That's okay! Do you feel that?
Do you feel the burn of wanting to be honest?
Abby? What do you want to say to me?
I hate stomach crunches!
[Molly laughs]
Yes! Everyone hates doing stomach crunches.
Lisa? What do you want to say?
[groaning] Oh! My sister's a sadist!
All right. I will take that.
I'm sure you're not the only one who thinks that. Claire!
Can't talk. Too much pain.
Very good! That's honest.
What about you, Quinn?
I like stomach crunches!
[everyone groaning]
MOLLY: No, no, no!
Open and honest communication, even if it's unpopular.
Jenna, what about you?
Ugh! Sometimes we say a lot,
even when we don't say anything.
Yes, absolutely.
Sometimes, we say a lot with no words at all.
For instance...
look what happens when I say to all of you right now
you are done with your stomach crunches.
RECRUITS: Yeah!
[all groaning]
All right, great work, everyone.
I'll see you next week.
Grab a towel on your way out.
QUINN: Feels good, right?
[Molly chuckles]
My abdominal muscles hate you right now.
Can I have my phone?
[panting]
Here.
Thanks.
Ooh! The bridal boutique called.
Maybe my dress is ready.
[chuckling]
Thanks.
No!
Lisa, what is it?
My dress is gone.
What happened?
The bridal boutique was holding it for alterations
and they accidentally sold it to someone!
That's crazy.
Do they have another one?
No! It was one of a kind! There is no other one.
Lisa, it's okay.
We'll sort this out.
Okay. Okay.
My dress!
It's a sign.
It's not a sign.
It's a sign!
It was going too well.
The dress, the church, the bagpipes...
Maybe the bagpipes were a sign.
This is not funny!
Okay.
Okay, sorry.
Look, everything is going to be fine.
No, it won't.
I think we rushed into this.
Where'd you get that idea?
You!
You said it.
When did you start listening to me?
Molly!
Okay, look. This isn't about me.
This is about you.
You love Rennie,
and the bridal shop losing your wedding dress
has nothing to do with that.
Right?
- Right. - Yeah!
You're right. I...
[exhales]
Just the wedding is in two weeks.
I'm never gonna find another dress that soon.
The boutique said
that they would give you any other dress that you want.
I'm sure there's something else there
that you will love.
I'm not gonna find one as much as I loved that dress.
You don't know that. Why don't we go
after my last class? Quinn and Abby said
that they would go for moral support.
Huh?
Okay.
I hope whoever gets that dress
trips on it
when she walks down the aisle.
That's the spirit! [chuckling]
[♪♪♪]
Stop trying to make me feel guilty.
[doorbell rings]
[sighs]
Can I come in?
Of course.
Listen, about last night--
Nick.
No, no, no.
Let me just get out what I need to say.
It's just that I think that we need to...
Did you buy a wedding dress?
I did.
But I thought that
the one you already found was perfect.
It was.
So you found another perfect one?
Not exactly.
So, what? You steal the first one?
Jenna? What's going on?
Do you remember that whole Bridezilla thing
that I was talking about?
What'd you do?
I stole the dress.
You what?
You stole the dress!
Okay, well, I didn't steal the dress,
I paid for it,
but I kind of stole it from someone.
- From who? - Molly's sister.
You stole Lisa's dress?
But I didn't know that it was Lisa's dress,
I thought it belonged to some bride that I didn't know.
And that makes it any better?
No, not really, especially now
that's it's just sitting there, judging me!
Jenna.
But what's done is done,
and there's really nothing that I can do about it anymore.
Yes! There is! You can take it back.
- I can't do that. - Why?
It's my dress! It's my perfect dress!
You keep saying that.
You keep saying you want everything to be perfect,
and that scares me.
Because I'm not. I'm not perfect.
Neither are you.
But if you expect me to be,
it's better that I know that now,
instead of disappointing you later down the road.
We don't take returns.
No, but you have to.
I can't!
LISA: Hi. Okay.
I'm sorry.
You have ladies have got a lot of explaining to do.
Oh! That's... That's my dress.
How did you get my dress?
This woman here
has very kindly agreed to bring the dress back,
so that you could have it
if you still want it.
Jenna? Why did you have my dress?
Well... I bought it.
How? It was already sold.
Right, and that's a funny story...
Wait, wait, wait.
Jenna, did you have the dress the entire time?
But-- But you were with Lisa this morning
when she found out it was missing.
I was, and that's a really funny story, too.
Jenna, did you know
the dress was already sold when you bought it?
Okay, yeah, I knew,
but I didn't know that it was sold to you.
All's well that ends well, right?
That's it?
Do you have any idea
what you put me through?
Lisa.
I can't believe you're not even gonna say you're sorry.
I almost canceled my wedding because of this!
But I guess that's how
that's how you make sure your wedding "wins," right?
Molly.
Lisa, I have to.
[scoffs]
Jenna!
Jenna! Wait!
No. Tell your sister I really am sorry.
I think you should tell her that.
No, I can't face her.
I can't face any of them right now.
What is going on, Jenna?
Is this about your sister?
It was, but...
[sighs] I'm starting to think
that it's about more than that.
What if I'm trying to make my wedding perfect...
because I know that my relationship with Nick isn't?
[♪♪♪]
What do you think about us?
As a couple?
I, uh...
I think that you love him
and that he loves you.
But is that enough?
It's enough that you can't just walk away.
Look, Jenna.
I think you and Nick need to stop
and really think about what you want.
For the wedding?
No. No, Jenna.
Not for the wedding.
For yourselves.
For your life, for your future.
Is this really where you thought you'd end up?
Sitting outside of a bridal store
where you hijacked a dress?
[laughs]
This is not my finest moment.
So what do you need to do to turn it into one?
Mm.
Thank you.
Just doing my job.
[sighing]
[printer chugging rhythmically]
[♪♪♪]
[calling out] MOLLY: Lisa?
I'm not leaving until you open the door.
Partly because
you have locked yourself in my bedroom,
but also because I need to talk to you.
Okay, well, until you open the door,
I'm just gonna...
You're mad at me.
Yes.
Because I went after Jenna?
Yes!
Mm, 'cause you felt
like I was choosing her over you?
Don't marriage counselor me.
I'm sorry.
And I'm not making excuses for her,
but Jenna is my client.
I'm your client, too!
And I'm your sister!
That's like... three to one.
Mm?
Sister counts for two.
Oh. Okay.
Well, there were three of you.
Thank you.
But only one of you needed my help.
Really?
Mm-hmm. Really.
That means I'm, like... Super-Bride.
Well! I don't know--
-...That I'd go-- - I'm Super-Bride!
Okay. You are Super-Bride. [laughs]
But even Super-Bride has to forgive
the people who try to steal her cape.
Ugh...
Fine.
Mm-hmm.
That doesn't mean
I have to be nice to her, do I?
- No! - Good!
She ruined my dress!
Did she? Did she rip it?
No, it's just got a bad energy now.
[laughing]
Well, then, put it in the closet next to mine.
They can keep each other company.
[both laughing]
[knocking]
- Hey. - Hi.
Do you have a minute?
Yeah. Yeah, sure.
Uh, well, I just wanted to say thank you.
For... for what?
Jenna called me
and told me what happened at the bridal store last night.
She made a mistake.
Everyone makes mistakes.
That was a big one.
So you two are...?
I don't know.
Actually, I'm on my way to talk to her right now.
I-- It's... [sighs]
It's just a mess.
I'm sorry.
Yeah.
Anyway, um... I finished the photos for the gym,
and I'm pretty sure
Jenna's not gonna be going back
to your boot camp any time soon,
so just in case,
I wanted to tell you how much we appreciated
what you tried to do for us.
Or, at least, I appreciate it.
I'm sorry things didn't work out the way they were supposed to.
I got something for you.
Yeah, well, you said you liked it,
and, uh, that meant a lot to me, so I wanted you to have it.
Nick,
it's beautiful.
So I guess this means
you want to take my cardio-kickboxing class?
Maybe.
I better go.
Bye.
I've been sitting here for an hour, at least,
trying to figure out
how to start this conversation.
Hmm.
What'd you come up with?
That I've been sitting here
for an hour, at least,
trying to figure out
how to start this conversation.
So it's going exactly according to plan?
Yes. I think it's going very well.
Good to know.
I was thinking about how we met.
I was walking out of the bank
and you drove over me with your bicycle.
[laughs]
And we fell into a heap on the sidewalk,
and I, literally, fell into your arms.
Yes, you did.
And we both started laughing.
Hmm.
We used to laugh a lot.
[sighs] Yeah. We did.
So you gonna go back to the boot camp?
No. Not today.
I can't stand to face them yet,
but I've decided that I'm gonna go for the last class next week.
Hopefully, they don't chase me out of the room
with pitchforks and torches.
[chuckles] Well,
maybe yoga mats and medicine balls.
It's entirely possible!
I'm going to apologize to Lisa.
Good.
But I'm not gonna apologize for wanting my--
our wedding...
for wanting us...
to be perfect.
I think you need to take some time to think about that.
Maybe we can talk after boot camp next week.
Yeah, sure.
Think they can turn a yoga mat into a torch?
It's entirely possible.
For you, probable.
[both chuckling]
You'll be fine.
[quietly] Thanks.
Hey!
Hi.
How are you holding up?
Good!
Yeah?
Which is a total surprise.
What? Why a total surprise?
Have you met me?
I'm getting married tomorrow.
I figured I'd be
in total bridal-meltdown mode by now,
but I'm calm! And focused, and...
and I have you to thank for it.
What? What did I do?
Oh, well, I know I scoffed at you
about the Bridal Boot Camp--
Yes.
But it really has been amazing.
I feel like I'm going into this with my eyes open.
Well, good!
There's only one session left,
and then you will be good to go.
Sort of like a last-minute tune-up?
That's right. Don't worry, I'll be gentle.
No, you won't.
No, I won't. [laughing]
Hey, do you want to, um...
Yes. Are these-- Yeah?
So, uh... how are things with you?
[takes a deep breath] Yeah. Good. Peachy.
Peachy? Huh.
Have you heard from Nick or... Jenna?
Uh, no. No.
I, uh, really hope they figure things out.
Well, you can't say you didn't try.
But, at the end of the day, it's up to them, right?
They have to feel like they deserve happiness.
Yeah.
What? What is it?
I guess I'm just...
...feeling like a bit of a fraud these days.
Why?
I, uh...
How am I supposed to help other people
feel like they deserve happiness when...
...I'm not sure that I do?
Oh.
Molly... [sad chuckle]
Listen...
You teach your students about forgiveness.
When are you gonna forgive yourself
for getting left at the altar?
It wasn't your fault.
It felt like it was.
I know, I know, but... [sighs]
I think that's why you kept the dress,
and why you do the boot camp.
It's easier to tell people to trust and share
than it is to actually do it yourself. Right?
I mean,
when was the last time
you really trusted someone?
When was the last time you told somebody
something personal, that wasn't me?
Nick.
Well, think of him as a practice run.
[both chuckling]
The next guy you dance with
at a wedding could be the real thing.
Thank you.
What are sisters for?
[chuckles]
Oh...
You know...
I have an errand to run.
I will meet you at the boot camp.
Okay.
Yeah.

Yes, we are!

"I felt good

Well, we should both be happy, I think.
I thought that we were.
Well, I wanted to believe that we were,
but... but you were right.
I was trying to change you
into somebody that you aren't,
and, in the process,
I became someone that I don't really like very much.
[♪♪♪]
Now, if only getting married was as easy as breaking up.
Yeah, 'cause we're killing that part of it.
Look...
you deserve to be with someone
who is everything you want them to be.
And you deserve to be with somebody
who appreciates you for who you are.
[inhales, sighs]
So we're good then?
Yeah.
It feels...
Perfect?
Well...
as close as we can get.
Fair enough.
Bye, Nick.

I'm gonna be marrying my best friend.
I mean, it doesn't get any better than that, right?
No, it doesn't.
I promise I'm gonna make her happy,

in one of your cardio-kickboxing classes
and I'm just the teensiest bit afraid of you.
That's what I was going for.
Seriously, though,
I think we're gonna be really good for each other.
You know what?
So do I.
Really? Because, uh,
I always kind of figured you didn't really like me.
Why would you think that?
Lisa kind of told me you didn't really like me.
Okay, Rennie.
It's not that I don't like you, it's...
Lisa's my little sister.
It's always been my job to protect her.
But see...
now it's your job.
You two need to protect each other.
I will.
I know.
It's gonna be, like, really cool

Yeah?
Yeah.
Are you ready?
Almost. Yeah.

Thank you.
You're welcome.
Um, I don't suppose Molly's around today?
Oh, no. Today's her sister's wedding.

we are gathered here today
to witness the union
of Lisa Anne White and Rendell Wentworth Carter
in holy matrimony.
Marriage is a sacrament,
not to be entered into lightly,
but reverently,
lovingly, passionately,
and solemnly.
If any person can show just cause
why they should not be together,
let them speak now
or forever hold their peace.
[doors clack]
Oh...
[pointedly] MINISTER: Uh... or forever hold your peace.
I'm so sorry.
Oh, thank you, thank you.
I'll just-- I'll sit.
Lisa, do you take Rendell Wentworth Carter
to be your lawfully wedded husband...

I feel like we've been here before.
Yeah.
Only this time we have more in common.
Now both of us have been engaged,
and neither have made it to the actual wedding.
Nick, I'm really sorry.
- No. - For you and for Jenna.
It's all right.
We couldn't be the people we wanted each other to be.
Maybe I should add another lesson
to my boot camp.
Oh, yeah? On what?
Acceptance.
I mean, if we can't accept who we really are,
how can we expect anyone else to?
I think I would take that class.
Look...
everything that happened, you know, between Jenna and I,
that had nothing to do with you.
You believe that, right?
I do.
Good. Because...
I want you to accept the fact
that I'm about to kiss you...
because of you,
not because of anybody else.
