Wedding Planning and Family Dynamics

Oh, so Doña Digna has already spoken to

you?

Oh,

well, wonderful. Thank you so much.

Yes, um, perfect. I’ll talk it over with my fiancé, and as soon as

we can,

we’ll head over there.

Thank you, goodbye.

Were you going to be here long?

Mmm.

Well, yes, for a little while. I was talking to the florist, but

Digna got ahead of me.

Yes, my aunt is helping us a lot.

Yes. The one person she won't be able to help us with is

Don Agustín.

Um, yes, he knows we're getting married. Or at least that's what my aunt told me.

Would you mind if he officiated at the wedding?

He's officiated at every wedding in the family.

No. No, I don't have a problem with that.

The only thing is, this morning he came up to me pretty upset and

said that we're, that we're stringing him along.

Oh, my God, I forgot. I did those

premarital classes.

Well, don't worry, I'll shit myself.

Well, I appreciate it.

But I warn you, it'll be very hard to get rid of them.

Well, maybe I don't want to get rid of them.

Maybe I think it's

even beautiful.

Well, just wait till they get started, okay?

They're the kind that scare the hell out of you.

Yeah.

But you know what? With all the wedding stuff, we

I think we've ended up

forgetting the most important thing—

Mmm.

That it's you and me.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, I'm sorry my father put you in such a tough spot

with this whole thing

with Paula.

I told you I understood your, your reaction and your refusal.

I did, Andrés.

I spoke to Paula and, and she's not coming to the wedding.

Right. Well, I'm really sorry you had to go through that.

I suspect that in this family, I'm going to have to go through things like this.

And did she take it well? Did she understand?

Well, she understood

and it hurt her. And I don't feel good, honestly, because I don't like hurting

someone I care about, even if they made a mistake.

I just really don't understand the mess this girl has gotten herself into.

Well, try not to think about it, okay?

She seems like a sensible girl.

And I think that, with time, you'll be friends again, you'll see.

And I know how you feel, because the same thing happens to me with Tasio,

I don't know how

to handle all this.

Well, good luck.

Good luck with what?

Well, because I think she took the withdrawal of the invitation much

worse than Paula did.

And what did she say?

Well, uh,

She freaked out.
