AnnieSince when do you have a pen pal who's a Marine?
Since I changed schools. It's a class project. A volunteer project. It's to let all the men and women who serve in the armed forces know how much they're appreciated. We can't send real mail, so we have to send e-mail. That's the safe way to do it.
Annie
What do you write about?
Oh, different things. Sometimes just funny stuff that happens around here. You know, to give him a laugh
Annie
Funny....family stories?
Yeah, I've got plenty of 'em. You can't just write about serious stuff. He gets enough of that being in the Marines!
Where are you off to so early?
Annie
Oh, we're spending the day with Mrs. Bink.
(looks at the twins) What did they do?
Annie
They're not being punished. They're just learning to take care of older people in the community. Mrs. Bink would love to see them, and she's getting older. It's hard for her to cook, so we're gonna go over and make her lunch and hang out for a while.
Staff Sergeant Dwight J. Morgan would be very proud.
Annie
I hope so. I wanted to do something bigger, something universal and world-changing, but this is what I can do today, and this is what I'm going to do today, in his honor.
Annie
Oh, really? Because I'm not talking to you.
You were right. There's something going on, and I need to tell you what it is. I'm going to tell the kids tomorrow, but you should know first. I have to have open heart surgery. A bypass. A double bypass.
Annie
I knew you were going to say that. [cries and hugs him]
Uh, and then I pronounce you husband and wife. Then I tell you, Kevin that you may kiss the bride. And you may. And then, as I present you to the church, everyone stands, and you take his arm, Lucy, and then I nod to Ruthie and she returns your flowers to you, and then Lucy and Kevin will proceed back down the aisle, and this time Ruthie and Simon follows you hopefully along with Matt and Mary, Oh and Uh, Kevin's sister uh, Patty Mary, and your brother Ben
What if the storm keeps Matt and Mary and your mom and Patty Mary, and Ben from getting here?
The airport will open up tomorrow
It has to. And if it doesn't?
Yeah, what if it's just us? What if none of his family gets here?
As of tomorrow, my family is Lucy and me
I feel like the luckiest woman in the entire world
Yes you are. I think you're both...very lucky to have found each other
Annie
It is so good. To see you back in your church again.
So, are we really gonna do this? I'm gonna be Mrs. Kevin Kinkirk?
Are you still having doubts about me? Even now?
Promise me you'll be here. Promise me that you won't leave me standing at the altar. Promise me that nothing will keep you from marrying me. That neither rain nor snow nor heat nor...gloom of night will keep you from your appointed rounds
T-Too late? Uh...n-n...for the wedding, no. We just finished the rehearsal
The colonel sent me -- they're not gonna make it. I'm here to help in any way I can
Annie
I'm sorry you had to drive all the way from here from...wherever you drove, but I-I-I don't think there's anything you can do, Gabrielle. You're welcome to come to the wedding...of course
Well not unless I can make some sort of contribution. I insist on helping
Well, r-really we're happy to have you, Gabrielle, uh, but I don't know aside from showing us tomorrow night at 7:30 and having a good time, there's nothing you can do
I'll call the colonel and let him know
[knocks] Kevin it's me. Kevin, we have to talk
Hi yourself. Can't wait until tomorrow night?
It's going to be fine. I love you
Are you talking about the wedding?
Yes, what did you think I was talking about?
You think I'm scared of...you> No, I can't wait, believe me
[whispering] Did she say anything to you?
You think she'll call it off?
Annie
No
Then what are they doing in there?
What did you think, I was going to be wearing my pajamas and a smoking jacket? I didn't know you were gonna wake me up in the middle of the night
Put something on, and I'll step out into the hall
[whispering] What are you doing here?
We might ask you the same thing
I wanted to talk to Kevin about whether or not we should go through the wedding considering no one can get here and it's still storming
I didn't realize everyone was waiting for me
They're not -- they're going to bed
Without knowing whether or not you're calling pf the wedding? I don't think so
We're not calling of the wedding
But even if the airport opens, it's been closed for over 24 hours. The flights are gonna be backed up
As much as I want my mom and Ben and Patty Mary to be at my wedding, if they're not there, I'll be okay
I want my grandparents and Matt and Mary to be there
[groans} It's just that...I want everything to be perfect, and yet, I know life's not perfect.
No, it's not [they kiss] But parts of it are very, very good [kiss again]
