Voila! Finally, the Wedding Date
script is here for all you quotes spouting fans of the Debra Messing movie. This script is a transcript that was painstakingly
transcribed using the screenplay and/or viewings of Wedding Date. I know, I know, I still need to get the cast names in there and I'll be eternally
tweaking it, so if you have any corrections, feel free to
drop me a line. You won't
hurt my feelings. Honest.

'all remaining passengers
pIease make your way...'
Harry, I'm not working,
I'm going to my sister's wedding.
Customer service
wllI have to survive without me.
But Kat, we've had three deIays
and two reps call in sick.
And a on the : CPT to LGW.
And there's this guy on llne two
who gut stuck with in-Iaws because
we couIdn't get him out of Heathrow.
I'd Iove to heIp you, sincereIy,
but I haven't seen my famlly in two years
and my fllght Ieaves in minutes.
Come on, Kat. PIease, I'm begging you.
Bump the : to the upper on : .
What about llne two?
Check my bags.
I understand, you want your famlly
to see you the way you see yourseIf,
or wouId, if you didn't feeI
so victimized by them.
Hello!
We regret that you were inconvenienced.
UnfortunateIy, we are not llabIe.
But just this once I'll refund your ticket
and credit you frequent fIyer mlles.
Thank you for calling Virgin AtIantic.
Your first trip?
My sister's getting married
and the best man is my ex.
If I chicken out,
I wanna know where the exits are.
I'm not a knuckIer, I fIy all the time.
The reason I can't feeI my Iegs
is that any second
my date is gonna sit down in B
and I need him to Iook really good today.
Hello, B.
Thank you.
Hey.
Kat.
Let's sit.
I'm gIad you found it OK.
The airport... The pIane, I mean.
I'm sorry we couIdn't Ieave sooner. I know you
wanted to get settIed before the party.
Work must be crazy.
Oh, I shouId warn you.
You know those famllies
where everyone's out of their mind
but they're your famlly so you Iove them?
Mine's not llke that.
I Iove my dad.
But since he's my stepdad,
he's technically not famlly.
He's more llke a hostage.
(Snores)
'Ladies and gentIemen,
'we wllI shortIy be arriving

'On arrivaI, pIease remain seated

'LocaI time is : pm
'and the temperature is a warm ...'
Good morning.
'That's degrees Fahrenheit.
'We wouId llke to thank you
for fIying with us today
'and Iook forward to seeing you again soon.'
Oh.
Nick, pIease tell me
you're not wearing that tonight.
I am.
It's no big deaI really, it just Iooks llke
a tallor made your tie out of my dress.
Don't get me wrong - matching's fine.
It's matchy-matchy you wanna Iook out for.
- We Iook llke we're trying too hard.
- ExactIy.
I want us to Iook llke we fit
but not llke we're trying to Iook llke we fit.
Let me teach you a trick.
If you Iook peopIe in the eye,
they'll never notice what you're wearing.
(Kat) There's no way I'm showing up
in his and her outfits
so if you're gonna wear that tie,
I have to change my dress.
Driver, wllI you pIease
pull over somewhere?
(Kat) I'm sorry. I promise this is the Iast one.
You must think...
Who knows what you think?
(Nick) I know how important this is for you.
But remember, you're a beautifuI woman
and you've got everything going for you.
(Kat) Don't patronize me.
I feeI llke crap but I wanna Iook hot doing it.
Mission accompllshed.
Really?
Don't get too attached.
I prefer the red one.
I'll Iet her know.
Hmm...
''Hmm, nice dress,'' or ''Hmm...
''Gorgeous. I was insane to Iet you go''?
Well, I'd shag you.
If that's all right with you?
(# GentIe piano)
I don't know if I can do this.
Well, you can never be sure of anything
but we stllI have to go inside.
- Aunt Bea!
- Dear girI.
This shouId have been you getting married.
You know, you didn't have
to return the gravy boat.
And to think Jeffrey is the best man.
Have you met Nick?
- How do you do?
- Oh.
Charming.
And what do you do?
Excuse us.
What a nightmare.
OK, we need a story.
You're a therapist, we just started dating and
you're crazy about me.
Count it. even.
- Oh, I trust you.
- No. Count it.
All right.
I'll cover expenses but if you want
to be intimate, we taIk money first.
That won't be an issue. I find the idea
of sex for money morally repugnant.
I'm sorry. No offense.
Do me a favor, quit apoIogizing.
If you Iook at this as a business transaction,
maybe you won't
feeI compelled to keep saying sorry.
I'm sorry.
It's aIso really annoying.
Sorry.
- Sorry.
- Pussy Kat! What happened to you?
- Pull over for a quickie?
- Mom, this is so not the time to be yourseIf.
And who might this be?
Hi. I'm the new guy.
It's great to meet you.
LoveIy. This is a marathon, not a sprint.
We've got weIcome cocktalls today
then tomorrow's Young PeopIe In The Park
and Stags And Hens.
Friday's the picnic, then the rehearsaI dinner
and since you have Ieft no margin for jetIag,
I need you to hydrate.
- Dad.
- My darllng.
- Meet Nick.
- Professor Ellis.
- How do you do?
- Kat?
- Kat! Oooh! I'm getting married! Oh, Kitty!
- Hey!
Oh, I missed you so much.
Gosh, who's the hunky, huh? Nice.
There you are! Get over here!
At times llke these,
I find a good, stiff drink heIps.
- Can I get you a refllI, sir?
- Very kind of you.
Where did you find him?
Thank you.

Oh. WonderfuI. It's finally working.
Does everybody have a drink?
Because I am going to say a few words.

WeIcome, friends and famlly...
- (AppIause)
- I'm...
Victor and I are so happy
that you're here to ceIebrate with us
as we weIcome Edward and
the FIetcher-Wootens into our famlly.
We aIways thought that
we wouId marry off Kat first.
We had good reason to hope because
she was so popuIar with the boys at schooI
and we came pretty cIose once,
but, as you all know,
that crashed and burned.
Lucklly, we were abIe
to get the deposit back,
- so here we are again...
- (# Piano chords)
To the bride and groom.
Oh. Yes. Yes. Well, back
to the bride and groom to be.
Um...
Edward, we are so gIad that
you fell in Iove with the girI next door.

Hello. Kat-mandu.
Wow, you Iook gorgeous.
Gorgeous.
(Woman) Oh, my God! Oh, my God!
Oh, my God, oh, my God,
oh, my God, oh, my God! Top Kat! Ooooh!
Where the bIoody hell have you been?
I have gynecoIogists that call more often.
- You have more than one?
- I pIay them off against each other.
Hello, arsehoIe.
Since you dumped my cousin brutally,
you won't mind if I steaI her away, wllI you?
Thanks.
- You didn't have to do that.
- I wasn't saving you from him,
I was saving you from yourseIf.
You, my Iove, are too bIoody nice.
I've never seen so many
beautifuI women in one room.
Did he bring a date?
Darllng, why waste time on that horse's arse
when Mr. Tie Me Up, Tie Me Down
is waiting for you over there?
- What does he do?
- He's a therapist.
- The perlls of paranoia.
- Yes.
Oh, God. I think I've just come.
Thank you.
Can I have that?
Hm.
(MuffIed) Thank you.
You know what I Iove about all this, Kat?
There's finally a reason for
the worId to revoIve around you?
ExactIy.
- There you are.
- How's the future missus?
I'm perfect, I'm all ginny.
Thanks, SnuffIepop.
Mmm! Mm-mm-mm!
Wow!
Am I not the Iuckiest bastard on earth?
Aw! Well, I'll dance to that.
- Oh!
- Oh, Jesus!
That's what he gets
for not taking dance Iessons
untll two days before the wedding.
Who's ever heard of
dance Iessons for a wedding?
Just about everyone.
You are taking the piss?
We'll go with you.
I don't even know you, hunky dunky,
and I Iove you aIready.
(Ed) Dance Iessons? Hm. Right.
- Hey.
- Oh. Hello.
Weddings are a ceIebration
of Iove and commitment...
in Utopia.
In the reaI worId they're an excuse to drink
excessiveIy and say things you shouIdn't.
- A phllosopher, huh?
- Well, shrink.
- Crikey!
- What?
- No, nothing.
- No, tell me.
Well, you Yanks and your therapy,
it's a Ioad of touchy-feeIy mumbo jumbo.
Spllllng your guts to a totaI stranger,
it's not naturaI.
(Laughter)
Oh, God.
It's just...
There's this girI that I care for...
Well, I suppose you couId say I Iove her.
The bugger is,
she's here with some other guy.
There you are.
Hey, Kat. Hey, Kat.
Oh, hey, yourseIf. I see you met my ex.
- I was just telling him how we met.
- Mm.
- The Knicks game.
- Oh, yes.
Yeah... Oh.
You hate sport.
- I hate cricket.
- Right, yes.
Well, I shouId go and... go.
He Iooks miserabIe.
- What were you taIking about?
- He seems a llttIe drunk
but I think he's stllI crazy about you.
- Do I know you from somewhere?
- No.
What did he say? You don't...
You don't think he wants me back?

I have a friend at the magazine.
So much for anonymity.
Go ahead, take a Iook.
It's part of the package.
(Laughs)
I'm sorry, I'm just a llttIe nervous.
I never thought anything llke this
couId happen to me.
This happened to you?
It happened in the sense that
I picked up the phone, tracked you down,
fIew you over her and gave you $ .
- WllI you grab my shampoo, pIease?
- Shampoo! Got it.

(CIears throat)
The part where you were
a sexuaI surrogate and then started to...
branch out, is...
Is that really how it happened?
The reaI story -
my mother was a hippie, and a stripper.
She was insaneIy inappropriate with me,
she washed her llngerie
in my bath water whlle I was stllI in it.
Oh.
So as an aduIt, I needed to find ways
to experience intimacy and sex
- but with ruIes that couIdn't be vioIated.
- Wow.
I'm just screwing with you.
You shit.
OK, this part.
You say, and I quote,
''Every woman has
the exact Iove llfe she wants.''
That seems a broad generallzation... Oh!
Oh.
Do you honestIy belleve that
I want to be singIe and miserabIe?
Do you think that I want to be hung up
on some guy who Ied me on for years
and out of the bIue shattered my heart?
First of all, there's no such thing
as out of the bIue.
And second of all, yeah.
- What?
- When you're ready to Iet go,
to be un-singIe and un-miserabIe,
you wllI.
TllI then...
So when you were taIking to Jeffrey before,
how did he sound?
Like a harmIess, seIf-absorbed tooIbox.
SeriousIy.
He sounded tormented.
Tormented? How?
Like he's...
jeaIous that I'm here
with someone eIse, or llke...
he regrets throwing away
our llfe together?
It's just that...
this hasn't really turned out
the way that I thought it wouId.
Hey, Nick.
Oh-oh-oh!
He seems more mature.
Run, you fat tart! Come on.

That's a down payment on a Ford Focus.
Not dollars, pounds.
Besides, it incIudes, you know...
That's the extra .
Are you a boatsman, son?
I am now, sir.
I'm gIad someone's
making use of her at Iast.
The boat, I mean.
''To deflle.'' Four Ietters.
- Good morning, Daddy.
- Ah.
- What if I didn't want you to do that to me?
- The 's for you doing it to me.
If anything had happened, it wouId have
been one of the highllghts, for you.
- But nothing did.
- That's why you get to keep your money.
(Woman) The wedding dance is
the most important dance moment
in a person's llfe.
A room full of friends and famlly,
watching, smlling,
betting on how Iong the marriage wllI Iast.
All you'll have is each other
and whatever skllIs you acquire today.
And pair off.

Breathe. Good, that's a nice position.
Now, your Ieft foot. Her right foot.
Good. And we'll try to gllde across the fIoor.
Come a llttIe bit cIoser together. Moving.
Trying to turn.
What's the matter, Nick?
Two Ieft feet?
Oh!
# Stay with me, sway with me

When I toId you
I'd never done a wedding before,
it wasn't because I'd never been asked.
I'd just never said yes.
Why'd you say yes to me?
There was something in your voice
on the phone that day.
Desperation?
I think it was hope.
Get a move on, you Iovebirds.
I'm getting married in the morning.
- Ah, hello, Bambi.
- Darllng, pIease don't do that.
Oh, wow.
That's a big bed.
You know what pisses me off?
I've been spllllng my guts all weekend
and I don't know anything about you.
I'm allergic to fabric softener.
I'm majoring in comparative llterature
at Brown. I hate anchovies.
I think I'd miss you
even if we'd never met.
Come on!
(Ed) I'm a llttIe concerned...
I'm just... It makes me nervous...
(TJ) You know, I might just call you.
But if I did, I wouId Iose,
because my hand is compIete shite.
Ohhh.
- I'm in.
- Come on.
There's gotta be something wrong with him.
I bet his thingy bends, doesn't it?
Got a llttIe kink in it.
Oh, no, don't tell me.
It's bIoody perfect.
I'm going to see you.
Looky, Iooky here.
A full house.
Oh-ho-ho!
Has anyone seen my future wife?
She'll kllI me if I don't serve her first.
Have you guys ever had
a reaI honest-to-God fight, ever?
- Yes, of course.
- Yeah, right.
Well, apparentIy,
makeup sex is the best kind.
Not that I'm ever going to find out.
- Give me that!
- (Shouting)
- Come on!
- No, no!
- Don't!
- Come on!
(Shouting and Iaughter)
You seem to have a way with women.
Why don't you go and rustIe up the bride? Get
her to join the party.
(Amy) Why are you bringing this up now?
I Iove Ed.
- What do you want from me?
- I want you to tell me...
BIue shirt or...white shirt
for the, er, rehearsaI dinner?
Sorry to interrupt.
Your dad sent me.
What for?
To make sure you're OK.
Kat, couId I have a word?
It'll onIy take a moment.
Let me think. You stoIe seven years of
her llfe with your bullshit and your charm
and now you'd llke just a moment?
Sure. Go right ahead.
Thanks for the solldarity, Mum,
but next time a llttIe Iess information.
Do you belleve a pIace has a memory?
Even before Ed and I started dating,
we all used to come up here in the summer
and spend weekends.
God, I hope it doesn't remember everything.
No matter how certain
one is of one's position
of what one shouId or shouIdn't do,
one sometimes discovers
that one is not as one wouId have
hoped one wouId have been.
- What exactIy are you trying to say?
- I'm sorry.
Look, I feeI llke I need to tell you something.
- You're not even llstening.
- I'm sorry. I'll be back in a minute.
Hey, is everything OK?
Yeah.
Yeah.
(Victor) Anchovy, Nick?
I remember the day I met Kat.
It was in New York.
I'd been seeing Bunny for a few months
and she finally trusted me
enough to meet her kid.
So I'm over at her pIace
and in waIks this llttIe monster.
That was it. I was a goner.
That was the day I became a dad.
You know, Nick, you think it's going
to get easier as they get oIder,
that you're going to worry about them Iess.
Or that you're going to trust the worId more.
But that's just not how it happens.
This may not make much sense to you, sir,
but I'd llke to ask your permission
to date your daughter.
I thought you aIready were.
(Cheering and Iaughter)
- I bIame... I bIame Tony Peepants.
- No.
Let's have the story. Kat, come on.
- No.
- I have to initiate Nick into our famlly.
I bIame Tony for why my two girIs
just don't seem to be abIe to get aIong.
Don't deny it. You bareIy toIerate each other.
Come on. It's true. The onIy thing you've got in
common is you're both attracted to me.
It started after we moved here.
My two girIs got into a fight over Tony
Peepants and have never made up since.
ApparentIy, Kat and I were inseparabIe.
If Kat ate a banana, Amy threw it up.
If Amy threw it up, Kat ate it.
(All groaning)
So we were eating
and throwing up together in harmony
untll Tony waIked me home
from schooI one day.
He was my first boyfriend.
Tony ignored Kat
because he wanted to pIay with me.
Anyway, the point of the story is that
Tony ended up with a chair in his face.
It was pIastic and chlld-sized.
- As I recall, there were stitches invoIved.
- Come on, Bunny, stitches.
So is that when he peed in his pants?
He cried a Iot,
but there was no peeing.
So what's with the nickname?
I have absoIuteIy no idea.
Let me get some more wine.
(TJ) WouId you marry me if I asked?
That was a yes. Did you see that?
(Laughter)
And you know, I thought perhaps you...
Bollocks. Sorry.
I had no idea this wouId be so difficuIt.
I just feeI llke I owe you an expIanation.
ReIax, reIax. It's fine.
I promise.
And I shouId probabIy admit that...
I brought Nick with me to torture you, sIowIy,
for the entire weekend.
But then, I don't know,
something happened and now...
I hope this doesn't hurt your feellngs
but I'm just sick of you and me.
Of our whoIe story, so come on,
Iet's just go upstairs and eat some tiramisu.
I sIept with your sister.
- I'm sorry?
- Well, I shagged Amy, two years ago.
That's why I broke it off with you.
And then after you Ieft,
sod it, we kept at it llke rabbits,
untll we both reallzed it was absoIuteIy mad
and, obviousIy, morally wrong.
And then that was it.
But Iast Christmas, when Ed proposed,
I reallzed... I'm in Iove with her.
Good Lord, say something, pIease.
Oh, my God, he's toId you, hasn't he?
- You knew?
- Kat, I'm so sorry. I'm so...
Kat. Kat, pIease.
Kat, pIease don't say anything.
I can't belleve you toId her.
(Thunder)
What's going on?
Nothing.
It doesn't Iook llke nothing.
Now is not the time to catch on, Ed.
OK. Good.
(Thunder)
Leave me aIone.
You knew and you didn't tell me.
- Wait up.
- I can't belleve I trusted you.
Come on. You've got to stop running.
- How couId you not have toId me?
- What did you expect me to say?
You Iet me make a fooI of myseIf.
You lled to me, but I guess I shouIdn't be
surprised because that's what you do.
That's who you are. You're a llar.
You're judging me? That's a good one.
You're going to point a finger at me,
the guy that you hired
to pretend to be your boyfriend?
You're right. I was so desperate
to make everyone belleve that I was happy
that I paid $ for a lle.
And, at the end of the day, the onIy one
who ended up falling for it was me.
I wish I couId say it was worth it.
Go ahead, Kat, hate me.
I think you're running out of steam
on this whoIe Jeffrey thing anyhow.
Maybe now you'll be abIe to hoId on to this
Iong enough to ruin your next reIationship.
- Nick.
- I'm just checking into a hoteI.
Don't be ridicuIous. It's Iate.
Take the car.
Actually, the boathouse is empty.
Look, I don't know what's going on with
you two but I'm sure you'll work it out.
You couIdn't be more perfect
if she'd picked you out of a cataIog.
Thanks, Ed.
(Knocking)
Hey.
Hey.
I just... I wanted to say thank you
for not outing me in front of Ed.
I want to tell him,
just not the night before our wedding.
You know, with these things,
timing is everything.
You're right.
You shouId time it right,
so that when he hears that
you repeatedIy screwed his best friend,
he won't feeI llke the worId is collapsing
and there's no escape
because you tricked him into marrying you.
- Kat...
- Don't worry. Your wedding wllI be perfect.
Tomorrow I'll say all the right things
and you'll deaI with Ed when you're ready.
But right now, tonight,
I'm not going to pretend it's OK.

I'm fine, really.
Nothing a bottIe of Jack

Anyway, it doesn't matter.
It's Amy's day.
Get in the car, darllng.
(Chlld crying)
No, no. Smlle.
(Camera cllcks)
(Bells ringing)
Hello.
I've been Iooking for you.
So, why did you Iet him go?
- It's compllcated, Dad.
- Right.
It probabIy wouIdn't have
worked out anyway, huh?
I remember reading a fascinating articIe
in the New York Times Magazine once,
where this guy said,
''Every woman has
the exact Iove llfe she wants.''
You know what? I agree with him.
But I refuse to belleve
that this is what you want, Kat.
Ever since you were llttIe,
you've aIways worried
about what other peopIe think.
Now, come on. What do you think?
Is he the guy for you?
Then go and get him.
Hello, darllng. Your mother said
you wanted to have a quick word.
No, no, no, I...
There's something
you shouId know before you marry me.
What is it?
I wanted to tell you
but I was afraid you'd never forgive me
and I just... I Iove you so much.
I'm sorry.
I knew you were seeing someone eIse
when we finally got together, but not Jeffrey.
Does Kat know?
Jeffrey toId her Iast night.
Excuse me.
(Jeffrey) Ed?
Ed... CaIm down, Ed.
Ed!
(Ed) TJ!
Ah!
Ed, caIm down!
It's all sorted! She wants you!
I've given up! What's the probIem?
You back-stabbing weaseI!
That's not fair.
It was before you guys were even dating.
But you were engaged to her sister.
Ed, caIm down!
We can taIk about this
llke civllized human beings.
I Iook llke a totaI wanker, don't I?
Yeah, kind of.
Get in the car, Ed.
He's haIfway to France by now.
Whoa!
(Ed) I trust you've enjoyed
your trip to EngIand.
Yeah, it was fantastic.
Thanks, Eddie.
You know, I feIt sorry
for you Iast night.
I was just sitting there llke some smug arse,
thinking, ''Aren't I a Iucky sod?''
I forgave her when I thought
it was just some random bIoke.
But not Jeffrey.
I've had her up on a pedestaI ever since...
ever since I put her up there.
What a mess I've made, huh?
I'm so sorry.
The hardest thing's Ioving someone
and then having the courage
to Iet them Iove you back.
But if you know her shit
and she knows yours
and at the end of the day,
you stllI wouId rather give up than try...
nothing's ever gonna be worth it.
Maybe think about it this way.
You go back,
you get to spend the rest of your llfe
having really great makeup sex.
- Ed?
- (Ed) Must run!
Hi.
Hi.
Last night, when we were fighting,
I thought this was over.
And I was going to Ieave you aIone
and just take off but...
Then I reallzed I'd rather fight with you
than make Iove with anyone eIse.
- I shouId get going.
- What? No, you can't.
I have to.
I'm the best man.
