Just stop making excuses! You spend so much time denying it, and rationalizing it and, and talking yourself out if it, what if you just admitted it?
What would you like me to admit, Lux?!
That deep down, you're having doubts about Ryan because you know that you're meant to be with Baze.
Baze and I, we are not meant to be together. My soulmate is not some guy that knocked me up in the back of a minivan.
(referring to Cate) Are you really not gonna say anything? About how you feel? You're just gonna watch her get married tomorrow?
I'm not gonna watch anything. I'm going to steer clear of all things wedding. I don't wanna see it, I don't wanna hear anything about it.
So that's the kind of family we're gonna be? The kind that just sits around, lying to each other because we can't say how we feel?
Lesson numero uno: that's every family.
[voiceover]: When I was a little girl I thought I understood how things worked. Girls grew up and married boys. Fathers walked their daughters down the aisle. there was an order to things. First, came love. Thank came marriage. Then,, came an overpriced, ridiculously complicated baby carriage. But when I grew up, I realized that's not necessarily how things worked. Girls can marry girls, and boys can marry boys. Mothers can walk their daughters down the aisle. And kids can come before love and marriage. It's taken me 32 years to figure out who I want to be, and what I've learned is- it's a choice that you make every day about who you want to be and who you want to be it with. It means you appreciating what's happened in your life to bring you to this point and letting go of it. And it means being willing to commit with no guarantees. It means knowing and accepting reality, you might just get the fantasy you've always dreamed of.
You've been spending so much time trying to be the parent. But you wanting them to be together maybe means for the very first time that you learned to the kid... their kid.
