The Big Day

1 DAVID: Look at it.
It makes me so happy that I could cry.
All these months of planning, and it's finally here.
Our perfect day.
I'm so glad that we decided to do it in our home and not some cold hotel.
Yes, our home is a reflection of who we are.
Do you know how many hours I've slaved in that garden? Yes.
Diego tells me all the time how hard you work telling him what to do.
(chuckles) Our home, our day, our way.
The way we want, our choices, to reflect who we are.
It's everything that we ever wanted.
You're everything I ever wanted.
I'm just sorry that you didn't get that one thing that you were hoping for.
How you liking that wine, Father Michael? You kidding? After a lifetime sipping the sacramental swill the church gets no offense to BevMo!, our friends in Christ this is a real treat.
Thank you.
Um so, Father, as you know, David and I are getting married in a couple weeks.
We would like you to marry us.
Look, guys, I'm all for nontraditional.
But, uh, I work a very traditional job with very traditional rules.
You know, I'm sorry.
I really wish I could.
Yeah, that one sort of hurt.
But who knows? Maybe our backup choice will work out fine.
(slurping) How's that chocolate milk, Gary? Mmm.
Fantastic.
I love to pretend I'm drinking milk from an African cow.
And I've got to say, I would be thrilled to marry you guys.
Officiate, Gary.
We're not looking for a third.
Well, as you know, I'm a pro.
I ran a chapel in Laughlin, Nevada.
Married over 400 drunk couples.
And I met Jeff Dunham, America's foremost comedy ventriloquist.
His dummy, Pumpkin, came onto me.
Stuck his little wooden hand right down my pants.
Look, I know it's not your traditional choice, but isn't that the point? We're making our own traditions.
Oh, no! No, no, no! You're not supposed to see each other on your wedding day.
It's bad luck.
Oh, Mom.
We don't believe in that.
I don't care what you believe in that's the tradition.
Go.
All right, I'll take Bryan then.
Uh (chuckles) David Let her have this one thing.
Just promise me: Our day, our way.
No eye contact.
(laughs) (sputters) Stupid baby.
I'm so sorry.
I didn't mean that.
You are a beautiful boy.
Beautiful boy.
I love this tux you made me, Mom.
I feel like a seat filler at the Academy Awards.
Aw, thanks, sweetie.
And who knows, maybe the next thing you'll be making is a wedding dress for yourself.
Okay, out with it.
Just tell me how you really feel about your dad re-proposing.
Come on, Mom, how long does it take you to come up with two letters? Uh, but don't you think it might be nice to be a family again? Like we used to be? No! We moved out here because of how it used to be.
Shania, he's the only man I've ever loved.
Well, once that baby plops out, maybe you should put on a little lipstick and change that.
Shake your ass a little, Mom.
Whoa-whoa-whee-whoo, Shania.
Look, nine months ago, you had nothing to lose.
You took a chance, and 'cause you did, I got the best version of my mom and a dad I never knew could be so great.
If you say yes to his re-proposal, all that could go away.
Now I have everything to lose.
Mama.
David, you look so sexy! (chuckles) Ah! If you weren't my son and gay, I'd eat you with hot sauce.
(groans) Where's Dad? I thought you guys were driving down together.
Oh, we were going to, but then his girlfriend's mom passed away.
Said he had to be with Crystal.
Oh, that's terrible.
How did she die? Lethal injection.
But never mind about that.
Today's your big day.
There's something special I want you to wear.
Voilà! It's the tuxedo your Grandpa Julie wore on his wedding day.
Mom, I can't wear this.
Bryan and I discussed it.
We promised to do things our way.
Oh, come on, David.
Don't ruin a family tradition.
Now, where's that Goldie with a needle and thread? We need to take up the crotch.
You know how big your Grandpa Julie was down there.
(sighs) You okay, boo? Well, I hate to admit it, but I'm scared.
Mm.
I know.
I get it.
Cold feet, huh? Well, listen, David's dark inside, passive-aggressive and you know what? I really think he resents your success.
It's better you realized it now.
What are you talking about? I love David.
Oh, my God.
Me, too.
He is so sweet.
No, Rocky, I'm talking about the vows.
We both agreed not to write anything down, just to speak from the heart, and now I'm afraid.
I'm nervous I'm gonna expose myself as someone with human qualities.
My son at his wedding.
I remember crying when you were 15 because I thought I would never see this day.
I'd just found a magazine under his bed Mirabella.
Uh, Rocky, would you mind giving us a moment alone? Look, Mom, I I know that the last several years have been difficult, but I'm glad we made it through, and I really appreciate you being here.
I know your father would be so proud if he were here.
You think so? Well, he wouldn't say it.
You know, he'd just complain about his overactive bladder.
(laughs) Bryan I want to walk you down the aisle.
Oh, Mom, I can't.
I promised David it would just be the two of us walking down the aisle.
Please, Bryan.
For me.
And your dad.
(classical music playing, quiet chatter) Ooh.
My girls! Oh, my God, Shania, you look like Janelle Monáe, except for a little taller and paler.
And, Goldie, I hear you could be the next one down the aisle.
Who told you that? (gasps) Oh.
Shania, I have something to say to you.
The last time that I was in this house for a wedding, it was yours.
And I ruined it.
I'm very sorry.
It's okay.
Wilbur and I weren't ready for that level of intimacy.
(chuckles) Oh, my God, if you would've told me then that I was accepting an invitation to a wedding of two guys, I would've hung myself.
And I would've knocked that chair right from under you.
Here's to Bryan and David, the happiest couple I know.
Whoa.
That was a beautiful speech, Nana.
(quietly): Please don't tell people that Clay proposed, at least until I've made my mind up.
Oh, you're so controlling for a liberal.
Okay.
I'll tell you later, but I just want you to know that I have some big news about me and Brice.
Oh.
Now Rocky and I are gonna get lit up.
(laughing) Come on, Nikki.
Shania, look.
A chocolate fountain right there.
Let's stick a shrimp in there and see if it swims.
Come on.
Oh Goldie.
Oh, hey.
I understand you received a proposal.
Are congratulations in order? Honestly, I'm not sure.
All right, listen.
I don't know if I'm out of line by saying this.
I've been holding this back.
Goldie, you are an amazing woman.
You are.
You're-you're driven yet kind, you're funny.
I mean, you're carrying a baby for two guys who can't.
You're like a beautiful stork for gays.
Brice Look around this room.
Look, every soul who you've touched comes out better for it.
I see you, Goldie.
You transform life into something new.
And marrying your ex just feels old.
CLAY: Goldie, I dropped my prepaid phone in the fountain, and then I tried to fish it out with my keys, and now everything's covered in chocolate.
How do I look? Exactly like your father did when we got married.
Except handsome and skinny.
Come on, Colleen, the ceremony's about to start.
Let's go to our "hot mothers of the grooms" seats and scope out which cater waiters we're gonna schtup.
Uh, I'm-I'm so sorry, but I-I'm gonna be walking Bryan down the aisle.
Why didn't anyone tell me? I would've worn something more revealing had I known I'd be part of the processional.
You got to put the fresh produce at the front of the grocery store, if you know what I mean.
I do.
Frances, I'm sorry.
My mom is walking me down the aisle.
It's just something we're doing together.
It means a lot to her.
Because my husband is no longer with us.
Oh.
I'm supposed to be punished because my ex-husband didn't die of tushy cancer? I want to walk my son down the aisle, too.
Just David and I are trying to keep this simple.
It is simple: if she gets to, I get to.
Colleen has six kids.
She has five more chances to do this again.
You're not really gonna deny me this, Bryan, are you? Welcome, friends, to this most blessed day of marriage, a celebration of love and commitment between Bryan and David.
The Taoists commemorate this joyful union with a timeless saying: (speaking Chinese) What is he saying? GARY: Nope.
I think that means.
"I'd like to take a bath with the two fat ones.
" (sighs) David? Oh, my God, you look so handsome.
I am the luckiest man in the world.
Oh, my God, you look insane.
What in the hell are you wearing? It's my Grandpa Julie's.
My mom made me wear it.
And you couldn't oh, I don't know refuse? Or were you planning on going straight from the wedding to perform magic on a cruise ship? Everybody's shoving their old musty traditions down our throat; this is no longer our wedding.
Well, do we have to go through with it like this? Yes.
I know it's traditional, but it would mean a lot to me if we were married before our baby came.
I know, I know.
David.
Hey.
May this tuxedo bring you and Bryan the same bottomless ecstasy it brought my mother and father.
She couldn't walk straight for two days after that night.
What a lovely tribute, Frances.
Okay.
Shall we? Shall we what? I'm sorry.
My dad is dead.
Shall we what? Wrong finger, genius.
(Vivaldi's "Spring" playing) (electronics clicking, chiming) Bruce, Bruce, Bruce.
I'm pretty sure that's for after.
Okay.
All right.
Thanks, Mom.
What is (quietly): You wrote vows? I thought we were gonna wing it.
We are gonna wing it.
I just planned mine.
What am I supposed to do? Shh, shh, shh, shh, shh.
(music ends) Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today to witness as this man joins this man with this man.
Three men.
Rather, two men I'm so sorry.
I don't want to interrupt.
It's such a lovely ceremony, but, um I-I think my water just broke.
(shouts) Oh! Do something! (electronics clicking) Oh, my God! Get a towel.
Ooh, help me, Jesus.
Give her some Just give her some room.
(John Lennon's "Beautiful Boy" playing) Close your eyes Have no fear The monster's gone He's on the run And your daddy's here Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful Beautiful boy Beautiful Beautiful, beautiful (panting) Beautiful boy Before you go to sleep Say a little prayer Every day In every way It's getting better and better Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful Beautiful boy Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful Beautiful boy Out on the ocean Sailing away (strained grunting) I can hardly wait Push, push.
(grunting) To see you come of age It's coming! I can see the head.
But I guess we'll both just have One more, one more.
To be patient DOCTOR: Here we go.
(crying) 'Cause it's long way to go A hard row to hoe Yes, it's a long way to go But in the meantime Before you cross the street Take my hand Life is what happens to you While you're busy making other plans Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful Beautiful boy Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful Beautiful boy Before you go to sleep Say a little prayer Every day It's okay.
It's okay.
In every way, it's getting better And better, yeah Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful Beautiful boy Darling, darling Darling Darling Sean.
Sawyer Collins.
It's nice to finally meet you.
I'm Bryan Collins.
But you can call me Dad.
Say, "No more belly!" No more belly! Although, there is still kind of a bloop, 'cause it's only been two weeks.
Hey, goggles, can I talk to your mom for a minute, alone? Why don't you go work on your Hillary Clinton impression.
(mock laughing) Do you remember at the boys' non-wedding I told you I had some big news about me and Brice? You're getting married? Married? Are you out of your mind? Goldie, Brice is a booty call.
He's perfect for a free-spirited woman of today, like me.
(laughs) No.
Brice and I had a co-listing this house on Lindo Street.
It closed.
Yeah! It's a six-figure commission.
Whoa.
Goldie, don't you get it? We got what we came here for.
Okay.
I know what you're gonna say now, Nana.
That it's time to move back to Ohio so I can marry Clay and raise Shania in a place where people still worship God and football and spareribs.
No, it isn't.
Goldie, sit down.
I want to say thank you, Goldie, for changing my life.
Look at what you've done.
You came here, you got this incredible apartment for you and your daughter, you started your own business.
You showed me how to be an independent woman.
And now I've got green in the bank and a black friend named Rocky.
(laughs) I don't ever want to go back to the way things were.
Why would you? I still love him.
Fine.
Love him.
But don't you ever forget what you taught me: You embrace your potential and not your past.
Shh.
Who loves his daddy? Sawyer loves his daddy.
Who loves his daddy? (beeping) Sawyer.
Sawyer loves his daddy.
Who loves his daddy? Sawyer loves his daddy.
Okay, now it's time for Sawyer to love his papa.
Gimme, gimme.
Oh, no, the book says that at two weeks he can see our faces.
Let him enjoy this one a while longer; it's so good.
We agreed on 30-minute intervals.
It's my turn.
Rocky? I told you you guys should have gotten two.
You know you don't like to share.
Me and Nikki have a one-on-one ratio.
Oh, okay, okay, just wait.
Do you have his head? Do you have his head? I know.
Yeah.
Oh, careful, careful.
I got it.
I have his head.
I have his head.
David, let go of his head.
Hello, my dear.
Hi, Goldie.
Oh.
Look who I have! Oh, yes, he's the most beautiful baby ever.
Have you seen Shania? She slipped out, and I thought she might be here.
Is she here? No.
You can't find her? No, she's not answering her phone.
I'm so worried.
Calm down.
You'll pop your stitches.
If she has tracking on her cell phone, we will find her.
Okay.
(seagulls squawking in distance) Shania? About time you got here.
I'm a ten-year-old alone on a beach.
Do you know how many modeling jobs I've been offered? We were so worried.
Why did you do this? I wanted to show you that.
I wanted to remind you why we came out here in the first place.
Look, you can't see the end of it.
We have a great life, Mom.
I love our family the way it is.
What, just you and me? No way.
Them, too.
This is the family we built.
You, me, Bryan, David, Rocky, Nikki and Sawyer.
Why would we ever change that? Sometimes you are so much smarter than me.
Girl, it ain't just sometimes.
I'm gonna say no to your dad.
But we are gonna raise you together.
And ground you together for running away.
Fair enough.
David this is all I wanted our wedding to be.
Just us, right here.
This right now is so perfect.
I wish we could've just done it right here on the beach.
What about music? I'll sing.
But first I need to stop by one of those "doctor" shops and get me a medical marijuana card.
Oh.
Girl, stop looking at me like that.
I got ocular pressure.
No need, Rocky.
You want us to get you a Gatorade or a Pedialyte? All right, just try to stand up.
(Goldie laughs) Okay, so now we just need someone to officiate.
I saw a guy at Muscle Beach.
He was wearing a Supertramp Speedo and juggling chainsaws, but his sign said he'd do anything for three dollars.
Oh.
Oh.
Oh.
Go get him.
Don't worry about it, guys.
I have it covered.
Father Michael! What are you doing here? You getting a henna tattoo? Do I look like a 13-year-old girl? (laughter) David called me, said he wanted his fiancé to have the wedding of his dreams, and that my being here would mean so much to you, Bryan.
It does.
It's amazing.
Mm, no, it's half-assed.
What? I don't have my collar on.
Look, I once told you to fight for change, but I can't ask you to do something that I'm not prepared to do myself.
So (sighs): God help me here we go.
Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today to witness the joining together of these two souls.
Bryan, do you take this man to be your partner in life, in love, committed to one another's joy and sustenance from this day forth, so long as you both shall live? I do.
And do you, David, take this man to be your partner in life, in love, committed to one another's joy and sustenance from this day forth, so long as you both shall live? I do.
Then by the power vested in me as a child of God, I now pronounce you a family.
(laughs) (laughter, whooping) GOLDIE: Yes! Well, no lightning bolts what do you know? Close your eyes Have no fear The monster's gone He's on the run And your daddy's here Darling, darling, darling Beautiful boy.
