Episode Four

“So it’s been a couple of days since we decided on a theme, venue, and caterer,” Charlotte says to the camera in her backroom interview. “We have about ten days to the wedding, and because we have all the big details planned, we’re down to the little things now.”

“We decided to do it in the order in which they will happen,” Nellie adds, as she sits next to her boss. “So the next three days are all about the ceremony, then the reception. My list is about this long.” She laughs, showing the camera the length of her arm to indicate just how long the list is. “And to top it all off . . . my sister’s getting married today, and we had that whole press fiasco yesterday.”

“Oh yes,” Charlotte says, clapping her hands together to set the record straight. “It’s standard procedure for everyone in our office to sign nondisclosure agreements when we have big clients, even if they aren’t directly involved in the wedding. But yesterday, someone leaked the wedding date to the press.”

“It wasn’t anyone from our office, of course,” Nellie points out, and Charlotte nods emphatically. “But it did cause quite a mess. Renée is screaming. A lot. That girl is very creative with her swearing.”

“I think I saw a vein in Ewan’s forehead pop too,” Charlotte says, and Nellie nods in agreement. “It is right in the middle of his forehead, here,” she says, pointing to the middle of her own forehead and they both start laughing hysterically.

The cameras cut to Rob’s backroom interview, after being told of what Nellie and Charlotte had done in their interview.

“Yeah, they’re just laughing because this wedding is driving everyone crazy,” he says in a deadpan voice.

The camera zooms in on the reception desk, where Donna is ignoring the ringing phone. Donna Smith is no snitch, and since it means less work for her, she is only too eager to just keep painting her nails.

“Donna,” Nellie whispers, from behind the entrance to the office, “are you sure this is okay?”

Donna looks up from her desk, sees Nellie, and rolls her eyes. “Oh God, Nellie, this isn’t a romantic comedy, it’s a reality show. Come out and do your job,” she says, standing up and crossing the threshold to pull Nellie’s arm into the camera’s view.

“I, Donna Smith, despite having the most boring last name in the history of last names, am amazing,” Donna proclaims to the cameras, holding her arms out to the general public. “In the middle of that whole press fiasco, I managed to wrangle Nellie into a makeover and a Drag Race marathon while you guys weren’t watching.”

“Come on,” Donna says to Nellie, tugging on Nellie’s arm. “You have a meeting with the floral stylist and the Palace Hotel is on hold on your desk—they just have a couple of things to go over with you before you have to be at the fitting—what?”

Both Nellie and Donna are halfway past the reception desk when
