It's Henry and Vienna's wedding day!  Unfortunately, a hungover Henry is not as enthusiastic about it as the bride is.  When it comes time to say his vows, Henry tells Vienna that he doesn't love her the way she deserves.  He leaves her at the alter, and she is understandably crushed.

[ Knock on the door ]

Henry: No, you're killing me. Stop it.

Katie: Henry?

Henry: Oww! Ow! What?

Katie: Oh, you look --

Henry: Why do you have to yell like that?

Katie: That bad, huh? Well, don't worry. I brought you coffee.

Henry: I don't want any coffee, it will just keep me up.

Katie: Okay. Oh, no, no. You have to sit up.

Henry: Either lie down and go to sleep or go away, okay?

Katie: So you're not going to the wedding?

Henry: What wedding?

Katie: Your wedding.

Henry: Oh, is that today?

Katie: In about an hour. And if you don't want to be late, come on --

Henry: What -- what are doing here?

Katie: I'm your best man, remember? I brought coffee, I brought a whole big thing of aspirin. You need to get in the shower, get in your tux --- do you remember at all the conversation we had last night?

Henry: There was some substantial blanks in my memory from last night.

Katie: Okay, well, I told you that if you're not ready to go through with this marriage, then it's not too late. And it's still not. So, there it is. Last chance. Do you want to go through with this or not?

 

Katie: No, no, two, two -- two is plenty. You don't want to poison yourself. That's hot! That's hot, that's hot!

Henry: Katie.

Katie: Sorry, I know I'm being a pain. I'm just worried about you.

Henry: It's not the first time I've had a little bit too much to drink, okay?

Katie: A little bit too much?

Henry: It's my bachelor party, why don't you to ease up.

Katie: Sorry. Okay, I'm not trying to make you feel guilty. I'm just trying to let you know that you do have an out.

Henry: I don't want an out.

Katie: Are you sure about that? You got yourself arrested yesterday. And if Vienna hadn't thrown herself on the mercy of jack, then you'd still be in jail right now.

Henry: I know. She's just a peach.

Katie: She is. She's a lot nicer once you get to know here.

Henry: Yeah, she's great. And it's not only the beautiful and rich part, but the generous part of her as well. She actually enjoys giving to other people. Who wouldn't want to marry someone like that?

Katie: You? You? I don't know. All I know is that I know you and you seem different. It's -- something's off. You seem uncomfortable.

Henry: I slept in my clothes, Katie.

Katie: That's not what I'm talking about. Ever since this marriage talk came up, you haven't been yourself.

Henry: What, because I'm not good enough for her -- is that what you're saying?

Katie: No. Oh, come on. You know I don't mean that. You are the most kind, sweet, fun guy I know, and the thing is, she agrees. Vienna loves you.

Henry: And that surprises you.

Katie: I think it surprised you. And I think you maybe need some time to get used to the idea before you go bounding down the aisle and make a huge mistake.

Henry: Because I'm not in her league, right?

Katie: Oh, stop it, fine, I'm just going to say it. Vienna is in love with you. Deep down, I'm not so sure that you're in love with her. And you deserve that. We all do. It can't be one-sided. One person can't be head over heels in love and the other person --

Henry: On the rebound?

Katie: All I'm saying is that -- in a mere few minutes, you're supposed to be getting married and you're not even smiling.

Henry: I'm so hung over.

Katie: Just don't do something that you're going to regret because you think you've already gone too far to back out. That's all I'm saying.

Henry: Okay.

Katie: Where are you going?

Henry: I'm going to shower and put on my tux, and go get married.

 

Katie: Hey, guys. Look at these beautiful flowers.

Parker: Hey, Henry, are you okay? You look a little tired.

Henry: Tired, me? No. Never.

Maddie: Well, it's about time you got here.

Katie: Well, it's not my fault.

Maddie: Wait, until you see the bride. She looks absolutely beautiful.

Henry: Oh, great. How are you? Are you okay?

Maddie: Yeah, I'm fine.

Henry: Really? You don't -- you want to go talk about it?

Maddie: No, go. You're getting married, lucky man.

Katie: What are you doing here?

Brad: I live here.

Katie: Well, that doesn't give you any right to crash Henry's wedding.

Henry: Hey, the more the merrier.

Brad: I'm not crashing. The bride invited me.

Katie: Oh, really? Does she know that you got her fiancée wasted last night and hired a stripper for him?

Brad: She knows. Some of that. She's a very forgiving woman.

Katie: All the women you know are. They have to be.

Brad: So, they're never bored.

Katie: Yeah, you got me there.

Brad: Hey, did you hear that? You're a witness. Katie said I was right.

Katie: Yes, we were agreeing that he's impossible.

Brad: So, how you feeling, Henry? You get some breakfast?

Katie: He's not really in the mood for food. I think they're ready for you.

Brad: Are you ready for them?

Vienna: Good morning, my darling. I'm so happy to see you. I can't wait to be your wife.

 

Minister: And he answered and said unto them. Have ye not read that he which made them at the beginning made them male and female. For this cause shall a man leave father and mother and shall cleave to his wife and they two shall be one flesh. What therefore god hath joined together, let no man put asunder. It's my understanding that the bride and groom have written their own vows.

Vienna: Yes, we have. Katie helped me with them. Do you have the vows? A copy of them?

Katie: No, I'm sorry, I don't.

Henry: Did you leave them at the Lakeview? I could go back and see if they're there?

Vienna: That's so sweet. No, no. That's not necessary.

Henry: We don't have to do this right now. It will give you a chance to find them.

Vienna: I can speak from my heart. Thank you, Katie. Henry, I know that I wasn't what you expected. And that this is very sudden. But all my life, I've just been this pretty girl with beautiful clothes and lots of money that rich men like to drag to parties. And it was fun for awhile. But it wasn't until I met you that I realized how lonely I was. And we spent time together and you talked. We did silly things. And it was so much fun. And you were such a good listener. And I fell madly in love with you. And you've given me this beautiful family, friends, these lovely people. And you make me so incredibly happy. And I want to spend the rest of my life, every single moment with you. I love you so much.

Minister: Well, that was very, very special, Miss Hyatt, I must say. Henry, now you.

Vienna: Henry?

 

Minister: Son? Do you have something to say?

Henry: I -- I can't.

Vienna: Did you lose your vows too?

Henry: No, no, I just -- I can't.

Vienna: Oh, this is all my fault! I shouldn't have insisted that we write our own vows. Can you just proceed as usual and just have Henry say, "I do" in all the right places?

Minister: Of course.

Henry: No, no. It's just -- I don't mean that -- I just -- it's not necessary.

Vienna: No, you're right. You're right. Just put the ring on my finger and kiss me and that's all I need.

Henry: Oh, Vienna, I'm so sorry.

Vienna: What, did you leave the ring in your other coat?

Henry: No. No, I have the ring.

Vienna: Well, then put it on my finger.

Henry: You're so beautiful, you know that? And you're so giving. And you're so generous and you're so kind. And I hate myself for having to do this. But I can't marry you.

 

Vienna: No, no, I don't understand.

Jack: Parker, why don't you take faith inside?

Parker: But it's just getting good.

Emma: Let's go. Let's go.

Maddie: Henry, maybe you just need a glass of water. You had a really rough night last night.

Brad: You need some aspirin --

Henry: No, no, I've had enough aspirin, I don't need any water, thank you.

Vienna: What, is it all these people? I know you didn't want a crowd.

Henry: No -- no, it wasn't all these people, and it's not you, okay? God, it's not you. It's me. I don't love you. I don't love you the way I should. And I can't do that to you. I can't do that to you. I know what it's like to marry somebody that you really love and two months later, you find out that they didn't love you back. And I can't do that, okay? I won't do that. So, I'm sorry. No, I'm so sorry. I'm so -- I have to go. I have to go --

Vienna: No, no, Henry, no! No, no -- I won't let you! You can't leave me!

Katie: Just let him go. It's okay.

Vienna: No, no! I love him too much! No!

Katie: It's okay.
