Sadie: There we go, Will – I think you and Jake look very smart.
Tom: I think if Dan was here, we’d look like a barber shop quartet!
Sadie: Except that they don’t wear trainers –
Sadie: – it would have been nice, Tom, if you could have been bothered to wear the right shoes.
Tom: I just forgot! It doesn’t matter, does it? It’s not like it’s dress rehearsal for the village panto!
Will: Yeah but it is like that though, isn’t it, Tom –
Sadie: Oh well thank you so much for comparing my wedding with a pantomime!
Will: No I didn’t mean that – I mean, it’s like a dress rehearsal –
Sadie: Well, it bloody well will be like a pantomime at this rate! What with stroppy bridesmaids, and Tom not bothering to wear the right shoes –
Sadie: It’s not too much to ask, is it, to wear nice black shoes? Oh –
Jake: Sadie –
Will: Where did I see that box of tissues?
Tom: Hey Sades – I’m sorry about the shoes! I’ll go home and get them –
Jake: I think it’s about more than just the shoes, Tom. Sadie, what’s the matter really? Is it all just getting a bit too much?
Sadie: Oh – it’s just – I wish Mum and Dad were coming to the wedding, but they’re halfway up the Himalayas or something – and Jude can’t come – and it’s going to rain, I just know it is – and – and – Dan was supposed to be home but he’s had to stay an extra week because they found some rare wild beastie to film and I want him here and I miss him so much!
Tom: I always thought you coped really well when he’s away, Sades, but it must be hard not having him here in the run-up to the wedding.
Sadie: Oh it is – and what if he doesn’t even get home in time? There won’t even be a wedding!
Will: He will, Sadie – whatever it takes, he’ll be here. And I’m sorry your family can’t make it, but you’ve got all of us here for you.
Sadie: Oh I know – and I do appreciate it. I’m just being silly, aren’t I? You know I’m not usually one to get all emotional about things…
Sadie: I feel so much better now I’ve had a hug – thank you, boys, you are all too kind to me
Jake: It’s okay – it’s a very emotional time for you, and I think we forget that because you’re always so upbeat.
Sadie: Poor Jake, you must get enough of this at home without me crying all over you.
Jake: Come on – let’s go and wash your face and we’ll see if Caroline can make you a cup of tea.
Tom: Blimey, I’m glad Niamh’s so straightforward – she’d never kick off like that just because I wore the wrong shoes!
Will: Tom, it’s not about your bloody shoes, okay?
