[PHONE RINGING]
Steve Parston.
Thank you, sir.
That's good news.
Excellent.
Okay.
We'll see you soon.
[♪♪♪]
Yes!
[BOTTLE POPS]
Ladies and gentlemen,
I'd like to thank you all
for the hard work
you've put in on this deal.
Your service, your sacrifice,
your time away from families
was worth it.
[EVERYONE CHEERING]
[♪♪♪]
Mommy, do you
like your flowers?
I do, I love them.
What about--?
Mommy, no!
Got it!
Hold on tight, okay?
Don't let go.
Thank you!
[♪♪♪]
[CAR HONKING]
[CAR ENGINE WHIRRING]
What did you do this time?
Excuse me?
You only bring flowers
when you're in trouble.
Well, today is different.
[DOOR BANGS]
[♪♪♪]
Connie, you got a surprise!
CONNIE:
Zoey, this
is not what it's about.
I'm protecting you
and you should be able
to recognize that.
And second of all--
ZOEY: It's not fair!
CONNIE:
You are not going
and that's final!
Oh, this is so stupid.
It's just a party.
A college party, Zoey.
Oh, whatever.
Hey.
Just because
you got invited
does not give you
permission to go,
especially with an older boy.
You don't even know him.
Exactly!
Now take off that makeup
and do your homework.
Whatever she said.
[GRUNTS]
[SIGHS]
[DOOR SLAMS]
It's no wonder
animals eat their young.
Hey, who's that kid
out there with Bridget?
Oh, that's Jake from school.
Her first crush.
When did that happen?
Well, life doesn't stop
while you're at work, honey.
You got the Woodford account.
They signed this morning.
What?
Stop being happy!
It's not fair.
[DOOR SLAMS]
You know what this means,
don't you?
The teenage brain
isn't fully developed.
I get to bring on Abby.
I mean, the timing
couldn't be better.
Oh, well, you really--
Oh, trust me,
they're gonna love her.
Hey, when does she get in?
Well, she left about--
She's not coming from downtown,
is she?
The roads are nuts.
[FEET STOMPING]
Oh.
Happy now?
[SIGHS]
So happy.
[DOOR SLAMS]
[♪♪♪]
[CAR ENGINE WHIRRING]
[♪♪♪]
[SIGHS]
Okay.
[CAR DOOR BANGS]
Wall Street Journal called.
Guess who they wanna interview?
Honey, that's amazing.
I'm gonna be on TV.
CONNIE:
Abby may have a lot
to share with us as well,
so just try to contain
yourself a little bit.
I'm contained, I'm contained.
This concerns her, too.
Buenas noches!
[ABBY & CONNIE SCREAMING]
Hey!
CONNIE:
Look at you!
Do you like it?
My baby,
yes, you look gorgeous.
Get over here. [LAUGHS]
I got a surprise for you.
Oh, really?
At least let her
get settled first.
I'm sure she's had a long day.
After dinner then.
Cool 'cause I have a
surprise for you, too.
Abby!
Squidge!
Did you see my sign?
I sure did.
I thought that was Michelangelo.
Zoey!
Oh, what's going on?
Are you okay?
Can I come live with you,
please?
It's like a prison here.
It gets better, I promise.
They're getting worse.
I swear, I'm gonna
gnaw my leg off.
Not now, we're about to eat.
Ugh.
Hey.
ABBY: Can I help?
CONNIE:
Yes, thank you.
Okay, good.
ABBY:
Yeah, yeah,
grab that, perfect.
CONNIE:
All right.
I wanna hear about Mexico.
Mom, the orphanage is amazing.
Like these kids,
they're hilarious.
I just, I wish I could
adopt them all.
Who's funding it?
Well, it's churches mostly.
Oz's dad is a pastor,
so he spends a lot of
his time raising money.
Actually, that's my surprise.
They'll be here tomorrow.
How fun!
Mm-hm, well, actually
his parents will be here
in a few days, but Oz
is driving up tomorrow.
He wants to talk to you.
Who?
Oswaldo, my boyfriend.
I can't wait for you
guys to meet him.
Does he need a job?
Not exactly.
Well, what time? 'Cause you
and I have a meeting tomorrow.
We do?
Well, that's my surprise.
You remember those
investment ideas
you pitched me at Christmas?
Well, we just landed
the Woodford account.
What, Dad!
[LAUGHS]
That's amazing.
Our first meeting is at 11
and you are gonna
be front and center.
What?
Your pitch deck
sealed the deal,
so I'm gonna have you
present it to the board.
Wait, you actually
pitched that to them?
But that was just hypothetical.
That was just my thesis project.
Well, it's a lot more
than that now, kiddo.
Everybody is so excited.
This is it.
You and me, team Parston.
[LAUGHS]
[BOTH IMITATE expl*si*n]
[♪♪♪]
BOARD MEMBER:
What about the downside?
Well, certainly,
we'll put hedges in place.
And don't forget that
Dodd-Frank limits our exposure.
Since we'll hold
the initial tranche,
we'll have equity
to offset any losses.
We'll manage risk
while leaving room
for a significant upside.
STEVE:
So feel free to
look over the handout,
then we'll go to lunch.
[LAUGHS]
That was brilliant.
Oh, my gosh, Dad, I'm shaking.
Gotta give you credit, Steve,
she doesn't disappoint.
We look forward
to working with you.
Oh, thank you, but
actually I just graduated.
I don't really work here.
Actually, you do.
Surprise.
What?
No dad, you don't,
you don't understand.
What's there to understand?
This is a big moment
for you, for us.
Dad, I can't work
for your company.
What are you doing?
This is what we talked about.
This is what you've
been working towards.
I know, but things
are different now.
It's not that I don't appreciate
the opportunity, I do.
What things?
I don't think
this is the place.
This is totally the place.
This is our dream.
This is why we sent
you to business school
so we could build
something together.
You know, we always--
Look, Oz and I
are getting married!
What?
In three weeks.
That's why he wants
to talk to you.
I can't work here.
We're moving to Kenya.
Oh.
What?
We'll take the stairs.
You two can meet us.
I was gonna wait to tell you,
but he asked me last week.
I met him on a mission trip.
Is this a joke?
Is that even real gold?
Yes, it's real, ah!
[CHUCKLES]
You can't get married.
We had plans.
You and me, we played Monopoly.
I let you be the car.
Who even is this guy?
He's an entrepreneur.
He's a problem solver.
He's the guy you should hire,
except he wouldn't take the job.
Why not?
What's his training?
Where'd he go to school?
Well, he didn't exactly.
He helps his family
at the orphanage.
Look, it's in his blood.
That's why we
wanna go to Africa.
You just met this guy.
It's been seven months.
I love him.
Oh, what do you
even know about love?
You just--
What? Dad, I'm an adult.
No. Abby, adults have jobs,
adults pay rent
and pay for their own food.
Have you done any
of those things?
I didn't ask for your money.
Okay, okay, let me
just get this straight.
You wanna turn down
your dream job
with your own office
right out of the gate,
not to mention
an expense account
and your own parking space
so you can live in a mud hut
with a guy named Oz?
[SIGHS]
[♪♪♪]
ABBY:
It's like he
still thinks I'm eight.
Tell me about it.
Sweetheart, time moves
very differently for dads,
and you see yourself
as a grown woman,
ready to make your own way,
and your father still sees his
little girl home from school.
I know, I know.
He just needs
some time to adjust.
Why is that my problem?
[KNOCKING ON DOOR]
This might hurt a little bit.
[♪♪♪]
Are you proud of yourself?
Me? What about her?
Did she tell you she thinks
she's getting married?
Did she tell you about Cambodia?
ABBY:
Kenya!
We don't even know this kid.
No, but you know your kid,
Now get in there
and talk to her.
[♪♪♪]
Stay strong.
[SIGHS]
You really were great today.
Thank you.
Oh.
And I'm sorry.
I didn't mean to blindside you.
This is your fault, you know.
What?
You know how you always
said you were praying
for my future husband?
Well, it worked.
Well, I, I'm pretty sure
I was praying for a guy
with a job.
Can't you just think of it
as gaining a son?
A son?
You always wanted one.
Okay, I'll make you a deal.
I'll do my best
to get to know him,
but you don't be in such
a hurry to run off to Africa.
Settle it
the old fashioned way?
You still got your cleats?

Hey.
[♪♪♪]
Dad?
[GROANS]
This is a really nice house.
It's a little much, I know.
What did I miss?
Oh, Oz was just telling us
about his trip up here.
That reminds me,
these are for you.
They're from the children
of Malavida.
Oh, wow, they made these?
Oz's mom is an amazing artist,
so she teaches all the kids.
Oh, that's so nice, thank you.
And these are for you.
It's pretty.
There you go.
Ooh, I want red.
Pink's better.
BRIDGET: Thank you.
And this is for you.
Oh, look at that.
Yeah.
I hope you like it.
Yeah, huh.
Abby, how about a hand
with the salad?
Bridge, you wanna
grab the breadsticks?
I think we're ready.
I can help.
[PHONE CHIMES]
Hey Dad, can I go to
an end-of-year thing tomorrow?
Mom said no parties.
Oh, it's a daytime thing.
It's just a few friends.
It's no big deal.
Oh, I guess that'd be okay then.
I'm just so happy
that I'm home.
I can't believe
you're graduating.
I know.
I'm proud of you.
Isn't it amazing?
Huge event.
I can't believe it.
I'm sure you were wondering
why we were getting
married so soon.
Never crossed my mind.
[CHUCKLES]
[STEVE LAUGHS]
Is, is there something
that we should know about?
Dad!
Oh, no, no, no, no, no.
It's not like that, sir.
Our missionary organization
wants us to be in Kenya
by the end of next month,
and we were hoping that we
could get married before then.
To allow time for a honeymoon.
Kenya, can you believe it?
Oh, honey.
[STEVE & CONNIE CHUCKLE]
Well, we'll be joining a team
in one of the villages there.
They'll be teaching us
Swahili and everything.
How long will you be there?
Three years.
[COUGHS]
CONNIE:
Honey!
Sorry.
You okay?
Mm, mm.
That's quite a commitment.
Well, we just
really wanna share
the love of Jesus with them,
and that takes trust,
and trust takes time.
So what all will you
be doing in this village?
Oh, we'll be helping
to build wells.
And set up local businesses.
Yeah, yeah.
What kind of businesses?
Mm, fantastic.
Actually, it's pretty cool.
So every child starts
with a chicken,
and then once they've shown
they can sell the eggs at market
and turn a profit,
they trade up for a goat,
and then eventually a cow.
[CHUCKLES]
Wow, that's amazing.
Oh, that's a perfect
use of a $200,000 MBA.
What?
Why don't you go get
some more water, sweetheart?
I can do that, I can do that.
Thank you.
Thank you. Behave yourself.
Dad, relax,
it'll be an adventure.
And who's gonna pay
for this little adventure?
We plan to raise support.
So there's been
no mention of a job?
So you haven't told us yet
how you got engaged.
Well, at Nueva Vida,
there's a courtyard
where everyone
comes to celebrate
Mexican Independence Day.
Cinco de Mayo.
Yes.
Oh, well actually,
that is a common misconception
among Americans.
Dia de la Independencia is
a much more significant day
in Mexican culture.
Yeah, it came way before
the events where you celebrate
with tequila and tacos.
[LAUGHS]
Of course.
Interesting.
Right, anyway,
right in the middle of it,
he just dropped on one knee.
You know those moments
when everything else
just fades away
and it's just you
and the most important person
in the whole world.
I haven't experienced that yet.
Well, it happens,
and I said yes.
[BRIDGET GIGGLING]
ANNOUNCER:
In breaking financial news,
Parston International has
announced a partnership
with Woodford Limited
in a deal
that's lighting up the capital
markets after hours.
Parston CEO Steve Parston
said the partnership
with Woodford
represents the new face
of our capital
management strategy
by leveraging
our existing holdings
with new sectors
developed by Woodford.
Hi, you've got a minute?
We will be able
to offer our clients
a much wider range
of opportunities
across the financial landscape.
Stock prices of both companies
are up after hours
as investors seem...
Listen, Mr. Parston,
I, I think I owe you an apology.
Oh, lucky shot, I'll heal.
Yeah, that, but,
but also about Abby.
I know it's customary
to ask the dad before the girl.
I just really love your daughter
and I got caught up in a moment.
Maybe a phone call.
I know, I know,
and it won't happen again.
What I mean to say is
I'd like permission
to marry your daughter.
Oz, do you know how
much you have to pay
at a hotel on Boardwalk?
I'm, I'm sorry?
Boardwalk, next to Park Place.
Oz, how well do you
know my daughter?
When she first got to Mexico,
I watched her comfort
a little boy
who had just lost his parents.
I had never seen such grace.
She has a gift.
She is unique, and vibrant,
and life,
my life.
And I know she's got
a good mind for business,
which would be super helpful
in the field.
I know you don't wanna
see her get hurt,
and sir, I promise I will care
for her until the day I die.
[CHUCKLES]
The day you die.
Well, what can I say?
You have my permission.
Oh, thank you, Dad.
Uh, Steve is fine for now.
Steve, oh, okay.
But we don't just
want your permission,
we'd like your blessing.
How about we work up to that?
Okay, yeah, of course.
[SQUEALS]
Thank you, Daddy!
[CHUCKLES]
Hey.
[♪♪♪]
CONNIE:
It's just up here on the left.
STEVE:
Who are all these people?
CONNIE:
Would you just at least try
to be somewhat pleasant
for Abby, if nothing else?
STEVE:
A serve day?
Why can't we meet
his parents at a restaurant
like normal people?
Honey, we are going to be
sharing grandchildren
with these people.
Don't you wanna know
a little bit about them?
Besides, you could use
the little vitamin D.
You made it!
Hey.
Hi.
This is a safe place to park?
It's just no guarantees.
You wearing that, Dad?
I'm gonna go into work after.
Here, use my gloves.
I don't really use these.
Oh, you'll have to excuse him.
His idea of working with
his hands is writing a check.
Are your parents here?
Oh, they went out
to grab supplies.
They'll be right back.
Oh, okay.
Thank you guys for coming.
Of course.
Come on, this way.
Let's go.
You said we're gonna hand
out sandwiches or something.
Oh, honey, just go with it.
[SIGHS]
[♪♪♪]
[PEOPLE CHATTERING INDISTINCTLY]
All right.
Load me up.
[GROANS]
You okay?
Yeah, yeah.
You sure?
Yeah, yeah, more.
All right.
Let's go.
[GRUNTS]
You know, I really
appreciate you doing this.
Yeah.
It's our family church.
It's nothing fancy,
but we like to keep it up.
You okay?
Oh, yeah, yeah.
Light work.
[♪♪♪]
ABBY:
So what do you think?
Well, he certainly
seems capable.
Oh.
ABBY: Oh.
Maybe Dad can learn something.
Oh, yeah.
[BANGS]
[VAN HONKING]
Here they are!
[♪♪♪]
[BANGS]
[SPEAKS IN SPANISH]
You must be Mrs. Parston.
Connie.
Nice to meet you.
Thank you, likewise.
I'm so glad you're here.
Oh, thank you.
[SPEAKS IN SPANISH]
He's wondering
if you're my sister.
Oh, I like him already, oh.
Hey!
[SPEAKS IN SPANISH]
[BELLA SPEAKS IN SPANISH]
Mama, Papi, this is Abby's dad.
Steve Parston.
[SPEAKING IN SPANISH]
It is wonderful to meet you.
You, you must be
so proud of this girl.
Oh, we love her so much.
A match made in heaven, huh?
So I've heard.
You guys okay?
Oz got you started?
Yeah, just slinging
some concrete,
getting the workout in.
Is your back okay?
It's, it's fine.
[SPEAKS IN SPANISH]
What did he, what did he say?
He said you'll feel it tomorrow.
BELLA:
Connie, would you like
to give me a hand?
CONNIE: Yes.
We're going to paint a mural
for the children.
Oh, how fun.
Of course, absolutely.
You good, honey?
Of course,
just getting started.
That's the spirit, amigo.
CARLOS:
Slow and easy
is how you do it.
This is how you do it.
How much longer
are you guys in town?
Another week or so,
raising support,
then it's back to Mexico
for a bit before the wedding.
You ever been to Mexico?
Yeah, yeah, a couple times.
Cabo, Cancun.
You know, Oz tells me that
you gave them your blessing.
Congratulations.
Permission, yeah.
No offense to your son,
but I just don't know
if Abby's really ready.
Okay, okay.
Or maybe you don't know
if you're really ready.
I've been there.
You have daughters?
Three,
they're all married now,
but I know how hard it is
to let your girl go,
let another man become
more important in her life.
But you've raised her well.
She's a capable young woman.
STEVE:
I wasn't expecting Kenya.
Yeah, if God has ordained it,
who are we to argue?
Who are we?
We're their fathers.
Long strokes so it stays even.
You've got
two other daughters, right?
I've got something for you.
What is it?
Trust me, it's perfect
for you right now.
[ABBY GIGGLING]
OZ:
There, you got it.
It looks good.
Great.
May I cut in?
Oh.
See, the trick is
to hold the brush close,
stay in control.
Well, actually--
Just like we painted
your room in third grade.
Do you remember, pink sparkle?
Yeah, well, I remember
Mom painting, but.
Yeah, well, we all have
our different skill set.
You just give it a try,
just small moves.
That's much better.
You're like, okay.
Oh, wow, you are really good.
I can't draw a lick.
Patience and practice,
like with so many things, right?
Mm.
[CHURCH BELL RINGING]
Oh, there they are.
How wonderful!
I didn't know churches
had those anymore.
Carlos likes
to keep them working.
He's sentimental that way.
We had bells chime
to start our wedding.
Oh, that is so sweet.
My husband is a true servant.
He'll run himself ragged
to help those in need.
CONNIE:
Sounds like Abby.
We've loved having her
at Nueva Vida.
She is so smart.
Oh, well, she's got
her dad to thank for that.
I'm sure you were
a big part of it.
Well, yeah, but it was
really Steve who took the lead.
He read to her early, did
flashcards on the computer,
taught her to read a spreadsheet
when she was five.
[LAUGHS]
He was all in.
[♪♪♪]
[♪♪♪]
[BIRDS SCREECHING]
[WIND HOWLING]
[♪♪♪]
Hey!
Oh!
Oh, oh, oh, oh!
[BODY THUDS]
[PAINT SPLASHES]
Steve, oh!
Oh, no!
[SIGHING]
[♪♪♪]
[PEOPLE LAUGHING]
I bet you never thought
that the church would be
donating clothes to you, huh?
Welcome to the family,
my friend.
You okay?
[SCOFFS]
It's just a flesh wound.
I'm, I'm sorry if I--
No, no, I, I was overreaching.
Mm-hm.
Well, when you get a second,
I would love for you
to take a look at this.
Okay, Oz, would you
like to lead us in grace?
Of course.
[OZ SPEAKING IN SPANISH]
My son is a good man,
just like his father.
You can trust him with Abby.
So Abby, have you two decided
what kind of wedding
you wanna have?
Oh, uh, something small.
We originally thought we'd
just get married in Mexico,
so we haven't put much
on our wedding registry.
Just like a few things
that we'll need for Africa.
How would you feel if we had
the ceremony in our backyard?
Oh, yeah!
I think we can do
a little bit better than that.
No, really, Dad.
She used to make me
play wedding all the time.
She dreamt about getting
married in a white castle,
drinking from
a chocolate fountain,
dancing with fireworks
in the background.
That's true.
Yeah, I was seven then,
but I can't believe
you remember that.
It wasn't just your dream.
I finally found it.
This is wisdom, my friend.
Read it carefully.
Looks like
it's been through battle.
With three daughters,
consider it a field manual.
Well, thank you.
[PHONE CHIMES]
Bet it's great.
It's the school,
it's automated.
Zoey was marked absent today.
Zoey, why am I getting
a call from the school?
Where are you?
What?
Read the book.
ZOEY:
Dad said I could go.
I never said
you could skip school.
Whatever.
You lied to me.
I did not!
A ditch day to the beach.
You never asked me
where I was going.
She's impossible.
You're impossible.
Look, I just want you
to be honest with me.
Why is that so hard
to understand?
It's kind of hard to be honest
with someone who doesn't
let you do anything.
Why is that so hard
to understand?
All right, that's it,
you're grounded.
What?
Go to your room.
That's not fair!
Now!
Ugh!
[SIGHS]
Why has she gotta be like that?
Just try to have
some patience.
She's 16,
she's not done cooking yet.
Can we microwave her?
[♪♪♪]
They're not gonna have
any hot showers in Kenya,
I'll tell you that.
Abby's gonna have to wrestle
a water buffalo
just to take a bath.
It won't be that bad.
Are you kidding me?
They're gonna have
to walk 10 miles
just to get drinking water
from some muddy river,
and then boil it when they
get back to their hovel.
Mm, you should make a list
of reasons she shouldn't go.
Terrorize her into staying home.
Ooh, you can frame it
as a wedding present.
It's not a bad idea.
I think they'll be happy.
I think
they'll be itchy and swollen.
What's that?
It's the book Carlos gave you.
Looks really good.
Oh, you are your daughter's
first love.
Oh, reminds me of how the girls
used to climb all over you,
fighting for your attention.
What happened, right?
Mm, maybe it'll tell you.
Your daughter needs a hero.
See, this is
all I was trying to be.
Are you sure you
weren't just trying
to one up
your future son-in-law?
It was service day,
I was trying to serve.
And all those suggestions
for the dream wedding,
the castles and fireworks.
She only gets married once.
Why settle for less
than what she really wants?
And you're sure of
what she really wants?
Listen, there's
this wedding coordinator
that a lot of my clients
have used.
Why don't we just set a meeting?
Couldn't hurt to check out
some options, right?
Just to be sure.
[♪♪♪]
[GASPS]
Oh, my gosh, Dad.
And parking for 200.
Who loves you, baby?
Okay, I am seeing this.
This could work.
Welcome, welcome,
welcome, welcome!
Oh, you must be
the beautiful bride.
And her gorgeous groom.
Oh, so lovely to meet you both.
I'm Crystal, come with me.
Let our adventure begin!
We have a variety of locations
for you to exchange your vows.
We have a traditional archway,
of course,
with a lovely view
of the lagoon.
BRIDGET:
Look, they have turtles!
Oh, we can dress them
in wedding attire,
if you like,
for nominal fee, of course.
And for a more exotic flavor,
our lush tropical palm garden
makes for the perfect location
for you to say
your I dos and I don'ts.
Abby, Abby, over here,
and, uh...
Oz.
Oz, yes,
ah, if I only had a brain.
Oh, look at you two,
So precious, so in love.
Stan!
Okay, give her
a kiss on the cheek.
Oh, and give her a high five.
And how about back to back?
Oh, that is a wrap.
Wait, I think I blinked.
Okay, these will be available
to you on the way out.
The first copy is complimentary,
but we do have other packages,
of course.
We also do engagement
parties, couple showers,
retirement, celebrations,
and funerals.
[LAUGHS]
But for now,
let's plan a wedding!
[GASPS]
Am I dreaming?
I don't know,
but I'll tell you this,
I don't wanna wake up.
[♪♪♪]
Oh, can I just move in here?
Oh, Stan, here they are,
here they are.
And now, especially made for
the princess and her prince,
a sampling of menu options
for the ultimate matrimonial
culinary experience,
all perfectly prepared
to your father's specifications.
Stan.
First, a lovely array
of appetizers,
all privately sourced
and organically grown.
My humble recommendation is the
Almas caviar stuffed truffle
paired perfectly
with the white grape
[SPEAKS IN FOREIGN LANGUAGE]
imported from Austria.
Ooh!
Nice try.
Then, for our main course,
we have three options.
From the land, A5 Wagyu
filet mignon center cut
to perfection,
melts in your mouth.
Try, try, try, try,
Abby, try, try.
Oh, wow, it's so good.
So good.
ABBY: Wow.
From the sea, fresh bluefin
tuna directly from Tokyo.
And from the air, breast chicken
from Eastern France.
Chickens don't fly.
Oh, you're a bright one,
aren't you? [LAUGHS]
And then for the big finish.
Don't mind if I do.
We have imported
a Mexican dessert
to give your big day
that personal flavor.
Oh, Dad, that is so sweet.
It's spicy.
[LAUGHS]
Why is that funny?
Well, I mean,
that's habanero cake.
It's for quinceaneras.
It's burning.
Yeah, it's a habanero,
it's one of the hottest
chili peppers in the world.
Awesome!
Stan, could you
get a glass of milk
for the father of the bride?
It seems like someone's
got a tender palate.
Can I have some water, please?
Oh, here, let him
try some champagne.
Can I take that?
Whoa, oh, oh, okay.
It's expensive.
It's worse.
Don't panic.
Stan, hurry up!
[BAND SINGING IN SPANISH]
CONNIE:
I did love the chicken.
And the steak,
that's what we're thinking.
Yeah, that could be
a really good.
ABBY:
I think it's a good compromise.
Oh, honey, you okay?
I can't feel my tongue.
You think this will wash out?
Mm.
Could you guys give
us a minute, please?
Oh, yeah, of course.
Sure, yeah.
[♪♪♪]
You don't like it.
It's not that.
I mean, it's amazing.
It's just the food alone could
fund a year in the field.
Yeah, I know, but I mean,
my dad's paying for it, so.
Would this make you happy?
Not if you're not.
I just thought our wedding
would be a little bit more...
Us.
Yeah.
Come on.
You know,
manage your expectations.
Hey, you guys decide
what you want?
Well, we were just talking
and what would you think,
and I'm just throwing
this out there,
if we made a compromise?
No tuxedos on the turtles.
Yeah, well.
Actually, we've
been talking about
wanting a couple's shower,
you know, kinda like
an engagement party,
so what if we had that here,
but then just had the wedding
in the backyard?
You know, keep it simple.
Crystal can still
do the decorations.
Abbs, this is what
you've always wanted.
This is your wedding.
I know,
but it's not just for me.
[♪♪♪]
It's like he's got
some kind of spell over her.
What happened
to all that independence?
Honey, they're forming
a union, for better or worse.
Well, I say worse.
I think a couple shower's
actually a great idea.
That way they can invite
all of their friends
and we can invite a few of ours.
We can?
It's not unheard of.
You can write a speech,
show her how much
you really care.
[♪♪♪]
How many friends?
[♪♪♪]
Big shower this weekend,
gentlemen.
I know you'll wanna be there.
Put it on the calendar.
We'll see you there.
Here you are,
we'll see you there, can't wait.
Gentlemen, here you go,
we'll see you there.
Okay, one for you, madame.
I can't wait to see you.
Bonnie, couple's shower
this weekend.
Oh, Abby, I remember
when she used to play
with the pencils
and the calculators.
Well, now she'll be playing
with lions and hyenas.
Hey Jimmy, how you doing buddy?
We're gonna see you at
the shindig this weekend.
Big shower, no gift too big.
We'll see you there.
Dave!
What are these, hieroglyphics?
Here, give me the pen.
I'll do it.
[SPEAKS IN SWAHILI]
That means pen in Swahili.
How do you say
lick the envelopes?
Oh,
[SPEAKS IN SWAHILI]
Really?
No, that means I love you.
Ooh, how do you say
hopeless romantic?
Oh, I can't wait
to teach our kids.
Little Oz.
We need to find
a good school, for sure.
Oh, how about you raise
the money and I'll build it?
Hey guys, have you seen Dad?
Um, office.
Don't make me separate
you two, okay?
Honey, I'm headed
to the salon.
Remember to pick up your suit
from the dry cleaners.
Did you know
the State Department
has a travel advisory
for where they're going?
Shouldn't you be
writing your speech?
Yeah, yeah, I'm,
I'm working on it.
Well, maybe ask the girls
if they wanna say something.
You, you really want
to give Zoey the microphone?
Or Bridget then?
Could be kind of cute.
Love you.
You too.
[♪♪♪]
[PEOPLE CHATTERING INDISTINCTLY]
[CONNIE LAUGHING]
Is it just me or do you
have more clients here
than Abby has friends?
I think they're just
showing their support.
Funny, I don't recall
Abby registering
for an $800 espresso machine.
Ooh.
Just magical, am I right?
It's wonderful,
Crystal, really.
Oh, I can't wait to get started
at your house tomorrow,
but for now, let's get
this party started.
Dan!
Dad, did you bring my speech?
I wanna know what you wrote.
Speech you wrote?
I just made suggestions.
It's on the iPad.
How do you pronounce
D-Y-S-E-N-T-E-R-Y?
Dysentery,
what are you reading?
And now
put your hands together
for the princess of the party,
the groom of the room,
the couple in the castle,
Abby and Oz!
[GUESTS CHEERING]
What happened to the dress
we bought her?
Lighten up, honey,
they look adorable.
[GUESTS CHEERING]
Abby, you're so beautiful.
[GUESTS CLAPPING]
Princess, look at you.
Right this way,
right this way, my princess.
Here we are.
Sir, here we go,
have a seat there, okay.
[♪♪♪]
Hello, everyone!
Connie and I would
like to thank you all
for gathering here today
to help us shower Abby and Oz
with love and gifts,
lots and lots of gifts.
Look at that.
[LAUGHS]
I just wanna take
this opportunity
as the one that's
paying for all this
to say a few words
about my, my first born.
You know, it's, it's funny,
at some point you realize
your daughter's taken her
last ride on your shoulders,
and for the life of me,
I don't remember when that was.
Abby, here you stand
at the brink of who knows what,
and I think about all of
the experiences that you've had,
your education, all the
potential that's right here,
and I just know that you'll make
a wise decision
about your future.
I really hope.
But no matter what you decide,
you'll always be my little girl.
A toast to Abby!
[CHUCKLES]
And, uh, Oz.
Oh, not yet, honey, you're last.
And now let's bring up
the couple of the hour.
I think they have a few things
they'd like to say, come on.
[GUESTS CHEERING]
Thank you all
for coming, really.
You're probably wondering
why we're dressed like this.
As some of you know, my parents
have dedicated their lives
to the mission fields.
Abby and I feel
the same calling.
On your table, there's a letter
that gives an overview
of how we wanna share God's love
with our friends in Kenya.
But we need your help
to make that possible,
and that's why
there's also an envelope,
and not to hard sell you,
but you can write off any
donations against your taxes.
That's my MBA talking!
Thank you so much,
again, for coming.
Truly, it means so much to us.
Oh, and I guess
my little sister's gonna
say something now.
Hello, all the reasons
Abby should stay.
Number one,
we will miss her so much.
Number two, there's
a perfectly good job for her
where she could use her degree
and does not require
begging for money.
What's wrong?
That's not the speech.
Number three,
Kenya is very dangerous.
You actually made a list?
It was your idea.
I cannot believe you.
I wasn't gonna frame it.
t*rrorists have been
known to target villages,
transportation hubs,
and markets.
Threats--
Bridget that's, that's enough.
Oh!
Can you not?
Ooh, oh!
Visitors are at risk
for respiratory infections,
dysentery, no hot showers.
Hey, Bridget.
Bridget, hey, thank you.
Bridget, thank you so much.
That was, well,
that was more than,
more than, more than enough.
Hey, why don't you go
sit back with Mama?
Oh, there we go.
Hey, wow.
All right,
that was the wrong file.
Wasn't the speech.
Those were some things
to consider.
You made a list of reasons
you hate my choices?
She wasn't supposed
to read that.
It's all right.
Can we talk about this later?
What?
We're among friends, right?
Say what you wanna say.
Abby, Abby, don't.
Go on, say it.
I wanna hear it.
You don't think I'm ready for
that kinda life, do you, Dad?
You don't even trust me to
make my own decisions, do you?
Do you?
No, I don't, okay?
Do you really wanna hear it?
I think you're being
idealistic and foolish.
I think you are jumping headlong
into a part of the world
that could k*ll you
in a hundred different ways,
and you're not ready, Abby,
and this is not you.
[♪♪♪]
Who's ready for cake?
[♪♪♪]
[SIGHS]
You didn't read the book,
did you?
Is it that obvious?
Well, it was either that
or you thought fight for her
meant fight with her.
Abby and I never used to fight,
and now she's,
she's out of control.
And whose control
would that be?
You're not the only father
who loves her.
Daughters are gifts from God,
but they're not for us to keep.
They're for us
to guide, love, teach,
and then let go.
You can trust God
with her future.
Do you believe that?
You know, we've been praying
for Oz's future wife
ever since he was a little boy.
All this time, you've been
raising an answer to prayer.
You're, you're very kind.
I hope someone says that
about my other two someday.
I've got some patching up to do.
Zoey, whew, talk about
fight with her.
It's not a fight with
flesh and blood, my friend.
It's a spiritual battle.
God made you her dad
for a reason.
Don't underestimate your voice.
Lean in, spend time,
be involved.
You see where
that's gotten me?
Oh, they'll make you feel
like the enemy,
but don't retreat.
It's part of being
a strong father.
[WATER SPLASHES]
Is that turtle wearing a tuxedo?
Yeah.
Steve, Steve, Zoey's gone.
What?
She turned off her location,
she won't answer my calls,
and Abby showed me this.
Zozopartay?
This isn't her Instagram.
They all have two,
one for parents to see,
and one for friends.
Thetoddbodd?
This guy looks 20.
He and his brothers
have some party house
up on Charlotte Street
near the college.
Fight for her, huh?
Can you load up the gifts
and get the girls home?
Yeah, what are you gonna do?
I'm getting an Uber.
No, forget that,
I'll take you, let's go.
[♪♪♪]
[PEOPLE CHATTERING INDISTINCTLY]
[TIRES SCREECHING]
Do you want me
to come in with you?
Thanks, but I got this.

No, no, go on, go on.
No, you gotta pound it,

All right! We've got rum!
Oh, yes! All right, Dad! Yeah.

Oh, my gosh.
Get your hands off my daughter.
Hey, bro!
What are you doing?
Get in the car, now.
My dad is here, okay?
Everything is under control.
He allows this?
Yeah,
'cause some parents are cool.
Not another word out of you.
Dad, stop it.
What are you doing?
Whatever, dude.
ZOEY: Dad, stop!
There are plenty
of other girls here.
Stop.
Whoa, whoa, whoa,
what is the problem, bro?
It's all good.
You think this is good?
My daughter's 16.
You break this up right now

Seriously, man?
You wanna be that guy?
Stop it.
Come on.

Dad.
All right.

Zoey and her dad here.
No, no, no, no, I don't

Who's that guy, Zoey?
It's fine, don't worry.
How old is he?
Do you know how old he is?

my father had rescued me.
[♪♪♪]
[CAR ENGINE WHIRRING]
[CONNIE SIGHS]
She won't talk to me either.
Have you seen these?
I don't get it.
I mean,
Abby was never like this.
Well, Zoey's not Abby.
It's like
I don't even know her.
Well, yeah, I mean,
when was the last time
you made an effort
to really know her,
or Bridget, for that matter,
took them to ice cream,
went to the movies,
asked how their day was?
I'm getting really tired of
feeling like the bad guy here.
I work my butt off
for this family.
It's not the work
they want, Steve, it's you.
I remember with my dad,
when things were good.
I just, I just wish
I'd had more time,
time for hugs,
more time to talk.
When things were bad,
I wanted time to heal.
I didn't get enough of that
with him before he passed away.
What are you gonna want
your girls to want?
[♪♪♪]
Hey.
Stop it, don't!
[PEOPLE LAUGHING]
[DOOR KNOCKING]
Go away!
PARTIER:
This could go viral.
[SIGHS]
Hey, you okay?
I thought I could trust you.
You can.
You showed them
my private account.
Mom was freaking out, okay?
You just took off
without telling anybody.
Dude, you got engaged
without telling anybody.
I just wanna be treated
like an adult.
Trust me, Zoey, you don't
need to be in such a hurry.
Being an adult is hard.
You have to get a job,
start paying rent, buying food.
Oh, man.
Don't tell me that after
tonight, you're on his side.
Can I ask you a question?
Did you really want
what would've happened
if Dad hadn't come after you?
You put yourself in
a dangerous spot.
Says the African queen.
I heard Bridget's speech.
Yeah, me too.
So what,
you didn't know all of that?
Listen, Zoey, I,
I don't want things to be
weird between us, okay?
Can we just start over?
[♪♪♪]
[BIRDS CHIRPING]
[♪♪♪]
[POOL BALLS CRASHING]
Mr. Parston, we need to talk.
Oz, believe me, I had no idea
that Bridget
was gonna read that list.
I know, I know.
Look, can I be honest?
Yeah.
I know you were hoping that
Abby would chill here with you
and be a part of your
whole work thing,
so you're disappointed.
I understand your concerns
about Kenya, trust me,
but I can't think of
a safer place to be
than in the center
of God's will.
STEVE:
Well, forgive me
for not seeing that
quite as clearly as you.
OZ:
I know it may seem extreme,
but it is not something
that we're taking lightly,
which is why we have partners,
which is why we're training,
and which is why we're praying.
And sir, with all due respect,
shouldn't that be
for me and Abby to decide,
as husband and wife?
It's clear that I am
not what you had in mind
for your daughter, but I
am committed to her 100%,
and I'd really appreciate
it if you backed me.
You know, it's hard enough
thinking I can measure up
when I'm competing
with all of this.
You're not gonna believe this.
Believe what?
Someone gave us
a yacht club membership.
Dad, we need to talk to you
about the gifts.
Do you wanna talk about what
happened last night first?
[DOORBELL RINGING]
Uh, hang on.
Good morning!
Oh, hello, sleepy head.
Oh, I know you
had a rough night,
but the schedule never sleeps.
Could, could you--?
Okay, okay.
Just give me a moment.
Okay, uh-huh.
Connie!
Okay, you didn't tell me you
were hiding a beautiful house
that's ready to be magical.
Oh, look at these windows,
so much light.
Ooh, hello, sun!
This kitchen, look at
the island. I love this island.
This island is waiting
for a moment,
so we're gonna have
to bring in flowers.
We're gonna have to bring
in fabric, lighting.
CONNIE: Crystal, Crystal.
CRYSTAL: I am 10,000% sure
this is gonna be fabulous.
Crystal, before we get too far,
we may need
to make some changes.
I know, isn't it amazing?
We're making so many changes.
I'm sorry, Daddy.
CRYSTAL: There's much to do.
Here we go.
Hey.
It's all my fault.
I shouldn't have read
that stuff.
That dance floor
goes to the left.
You didn't do anything wrong.
Then why is everybody so mad?
I'm thinking roses
along the wall.
Sometimes people make choices
that are not good for them.
Mr. Parston,
how would you feel
about repainting
the entire house?
I'm thinking bridal veil white
with an emerald forest trim.
ABBY: Dad.
Oh, Abby, what do you think
about peacocks
along the perimeter?
Crystal, I think Stan
is looking for you.
Oh, thank you. Okay, Stan, Stan!
We wanna return the gifts.
What?
It's nothing
against your friends,
it's just we don't need
all of this stuff.
You know, we'd rather put
the money toward the mission.
[LAUGHS]
So that's it?
Why don't we just sell
the house while we're at it?
Steve?
No, I mean it,
like, in all of this,
have I heard a thank you?
Thanks, Dad, for
sacrificing all those years
to give me a good life,
for buying me a car
and sending me off to college
and paying for peacocks.
Steve, stop.
No, I'm serious.
An ounce of appreciation
or respect, but no,
we're just gonna
throw it all away.
You still don't get it,
do you, Dad?
This isn't about you.
No, you've made that very clear.
Daddy, you're
ruining everything.
You know what?
If this is how you're gonna be,
I don't even want
the wedding here.
Abby, don't say that.
No, Mom, I'm serious.
We decided to wait
and have it here for you guys,
but it's not worth it.
Come on.

Connie, I'm sorry.
I've been,
I took my eye off the ball.
You still reading?
And thinking.
Did you know Abby put together
an entire fundraising plan
for the orphanage?
Yeah, she told me.
"With your help, we can double
the capacity of Nueva Vida,
showing love to the least,
the last, and the lost."
It's amazing.
She's not wasting her degree.
I can see that.
Zoey's asking when
she can have her phone back.
Something about texting friends
about missing assignments.
Well, let's give
it back to her,
but no more accounts
we don't have access to.
Agreed.
And location stays on.
And the expectation that
we can check it at any time.
Agreed.
Hey, I love you,
and I know you love the girls.
I'm gonna get better
at how I show them.
BRIDGET:
Mommy!
I have to go put
Bridget to bed.
Hey, you know what?
I got this.
[♪♪♪]
Oh, I've finally made it, whoa.
Are you and Mom
getting divorced?
No, why would you say that?
Jake's parents were fighting
and now they're
getting divorced.
Honey, I'm, I'm so sorry
to hear that.
Mom and I disagree sometimes,
but I, I love her
more than anything,
and you know what?
She gave me the best
three things of my life,
Abby, Zoey, and you.
[GIGGLING]
Oh, no, oh, no,
here comes Mr. Snake.
Oh, no, who's gonna save
you now, little girl?
Oh, I'll rescue you, Bridget.

[KEYS JINGLE]
What, you didn't drag
Abby back home, too?
Sorry I embarrassed you.
Embarrassed me?
You humiliated me.
Yeah, I probably could
have done that better,
but I'm not sorry
for protecting you.
Zoey, I know you,
you want to feel wanted,
but your actions,
they have consequences.
I know I haven't been

"Hi Mom and Dad,
I never wanted my wedding
to be a source of tension
between us,
but I'm tired
of fighting about it.
Oz and I have decided
to reset this whole thing
and get married where we feel
the most at home together."
At Nueva Vida?
"We decided there's no
reason to wait anymore,
so we're just gonna make it
small and do it tomorrow.
We'd still love for you to come,
but if you can't accept
this, we understand.
Please don't hate me."
Oh, Abby.
Okay, get dressed, get packed.
We're going now.
Steve, we are not
driving down to Mexico

I saw your Instagram pictures.
Can you not?

I asked Abby if she
really wanted to get married
without her family here.
She's locked herself
away ever since.
She's in the chapel now,
but she won't talk to anyone.
Oh, I'm so glad you're here.
Oz, I'm so sorry.
I never should have
put pressure on you.
Ah, thank you, but I'm
the one who should apologize.
She was so upset, I just,
we should have never run out.
Can you go talk to her?
I'm the one that caused all
this trouble in the first place.
Sir, I don't think you realize
how important you are to her.
Please.

Abbs?
Daddy?
Hey.
You came.
Did you get our texts
or our calls?
No, the service here
is terrible.
Honey, I'm, I'm so sorry.
I didn't listen to you.
You were right the whole time.
What?
You were right.
I'm, I'm not ready.
I can't leave my family.
What if I never
see you guys again?
Daddy, I'm scared.
Hey, there's a guy out there
that is deeply in love with you.
Do you love him?
More than anything.
And you truly feel
called to Kenya?
I think so.
I mean, then you started
talking about the risks
and now I don't know
what to think.
I'm, I'm sorry,
I shouldn't filled your head
with my fears.
The truth is I couldn't
bring myself to let you go.
You're my little girl,
but I also see that you
are a brave, selfless woman
that wants to change the world.
I read your proposal
made for Nueva Vida.
It's fantastic,
and with your permission,
I, I'd like to show it around.
I know some people.
Really?
Abbs, you got a gift,
and now I can see
that's a gift you need to share,
even if it's halfway
around the world.
But what about the firm?
What about your plans?
Well, yeah, the firm
will probably go under
and your mom and I'll be
destitute, but Bridget is cute,
so she can beg for food
for all of us.
I'm learning to let go
of my plans,
and I think it's time
that you and I both started
trusting God with his.
Dad, thank you.
Let's go get you married.

I wanna hear about Mexico.
Mom, the orphanage is amazing.
Like these kids,
they're hilarious.
I just, I wish I could
adopt them all.
Who's funding it?
Well, it's churches mostly.
Oz's dad is a pastor,
so he spends a lot of
his time raising money.
Actually, that's my surprise.
They'll be here tomorrow.
How fun!
Mm-hm, well, actually
his parents will be here
in a few days, but Oz
is driving up tomorrow.
He wants to talk to you.
Who?
Oswaldo, my boyfriend.
I can't wait for you
guys to meet him.
Does he need a job?
Not exactly.
Well, what time? 'Cause you
and I have a meeting tomorrow.
We do?
Well, that's my surprise.
You remember those
investment ideas
you pitched me at Christmas?
Well, we just landed
the Woodford account.
What, Dad!
[LAUGHS]
That's amazing.
Our first meeting is at 11
and you are gonna
be front and center.
What?
Your pitch deck
sealed the deal,
so I'm gonna have you
present it to the board.
Wait, you actually
pitched that to them?
But that was just hypothetical.
That was just my thesis project.
Well, it's a lot more
than that now, kiddo.
Everybody is so excited.
This is it.
You and me, team Parston.

BOARD MEMBER:
What about the downside?
Well, certainly,
we'll put hedges in place.
And don't forget that
Dodd-Frank limits our exposure.
Since we'll hold
the initial tranche,
we'll have equity
to offset any losses.
We'll manage risk
while leaving room
for a significant upside.
STEVE:
So feel free to
look over the handout,
then we'll go to lunch.
[LAUGHS]
That was brilliant.
Oh, my gosh, Dad, I'm shaking.
Gotta give you credit, Steve,
she doesn't disappoint.
We look forward
to working with you.
Oh, thank you, but
actually I just graduated.
I don't really work here.
Actually, you do.
Surprise.
What?
No dad, you don't,
you don't understand.
What's there to understand?
This is a big moment
for you, for us.
Dad, I can't work
for your company.
What are you doing?
This is what we talked about.
This is what you've
been working towards.
I know, but things
are different now.
It's not that I don't appreciate
the opportunity, I do.
What things?
I don't think
this is the place.
This is totally the place.
This is our dream.
This is why we sent
you to business school
so we could build
something together.
You know, we always--
Look, Oz and I
are getting married!
What?
In three weeks.
That's why he wants
to talk to you.
I can't work here.
We're moving to Kenya.
Oh.
What?
We'll take the stairs.
You two can meet us.
I was gonna wait to tell you,
but he asked me last week.
I met him on a mission trip.
Is this a joke?
Is that even real gold?
Yes, it's real, ah!
[CHUCKLES]
You can't get married.
We had plans.
You and me, we played Monopoly.
I let you be the car.
Who even is this guy?
He's an entrepreneur.
He's a problem solver.
He's the guy you should hire,
except he wouldn't take the job.
Why not?
What's his training?
Where'd he go to school?
Well, he didn't exactly.
He helps his family
at the orphanage.
Look, it's in his blood.
That's why we
wanna go to Africa.
You just met this guy.
It's been seven months.
I love him.
Oh, what do you
even know about love?
You just--
What? Dad, I'm an adult.
No. Abby, adults have jobs,
adults pay rent
and pay for their own food.
Have you done any
of those things?
I didn't ask for your money.
Okay, okay, let me
just get this straight.
You wanna turn down
your dream job
with your own office
right out of the gate,
not to mention
an expense account
and your own parking space
so you can live in a mud hut
with a guy named Oz?

Sweetheart, time moves
very differently for dads,
and you see yourself
as a grown woman,
ready to make your own way,
and your father still sees his
little girl home from school.
I know, I know.
He just needs
some time to adjust.
Why is that my problem?
[KNOCKING ON DOOR]
This might hurt a little bit.
[♪♪♪]
Are you proud of yourself?
Me? What about her?
Did she tell you she thinks
she's getting married?
Did she tell you about Cambodia?
ABBY:
Kenya!
We don't even know this kid.
No, but you know your kid,
Now get in there
and talk to her.

Stay strong.

You really were great today.
Thank you.
Oh.
And I'm sorry.
I didn't mean to blindside you.
This is your fault, you know.
What?
You know how you always
said you were praying
for my future husband?
Well, it worked.
Well, I, I'm pretty sure
I was praying for a guy
with a job.
Can't you just think of it
as gaining a son?
A son?
You always wanted one.
Okay, I'll make you a deal.
I'll do my best
to get to know him,
but you don't be in such
a hurry to run off to Africa.
Settle it
the old fashioned way?
You still got your cleats?

Oh, no, no, no, no, no.
It's not like that, sir.
Our missionary organization

by the end of next month,
and we were hoping that we
could get married before then.
To allow time for a honeymoon.
Kenya, can you believe it?
Oh, honey.

Honey!
Sorry.
You okay?
Mm, mm.
That's quite a commitment.
Well, we just
really wanna share

and trust takes time.
So what all will you
be doing in this village?
Oh, we'll be helping
to build wells.
And set up local businesses.
Yeah, yeah.
What kind of businesses?
Mm, fantastic.
Actually, it's pretty cool.
So every child starts
with a chicken,
and then once they've shown
they can sell the eggs at market
and turn a profit,
they trade up for a goat,
and then eventually a cow.

Wow, that's amazing.
Oh, that's a perfect

Thank you.
Thank you. Behave yourself.

it'll be an adventure.
And who's gonna pay
for this little adventure?
We plan to raise support.
So there's been
no mention of a job?
So you haven't told us yet
how you got engaged.
Well, at Nueva Vida,
there's a courtyard

ANNOUNCER:
In breaking financial news,
Parston International has
announced a partnership
with Woodford Limited
in a deal
that's lighting up the capital
markets after hours.
Parston CEO Steve Parston
said the partnership
with Woodford
represents the new face
of our capital
management strategy
by leveraging
our existing holdings
with new sectors
developed by Woodford.
Hi, you've got a minute?
We will be able
to offer our clients
a much wider range
of opportunities
across the financial landscape.
Stock prices of both companies
are up after hours
as investors seem...
Listen, Mr. Parston,
I, I think I owe you an apology.
Oh, lucky shot, I'll heal.
Yeah, that, but,
but also about Abby.
I know it's customary
to ask the dad before the girl.
I just really love your daughter
and I got caught up in a moment.
Maybe a phone call.
I know, I know,
and it won't happen again.
What I mean to say is
I'd like permission
to marry your daughter.
Oz, do you know how
much you have to pay
at a hotel on Boardwalk?
I'm, I'm sorry?
Boardwalk, next to Park Place.
Oz, how well do you
know my daughter?
When she first got to Mexico,
I watched her comfort
a little boy
who had just lost his parents.
I had never seen such grace.
She has a gift.
She is unique, and vibrant,
and life,
my life.
And I know she's got
a good mind for business,
which would be super helpful
in the field.
I know you don't wanna
see her get hurt,
and sir, I promise I will care
for her until the day I die.
[CHUCKLES]
The day you die.
Well, what can I say?
You have my permission.
Oh, thank you, Dad.
Uh, Steve is fine for now.
Steve, oh, okay.
But we don't just
want your permission,
we'd like your blessing.
How about we work up to that?
Okay, yeah, of course.

It's just no guarantees.

I'm gonna go into work after.
Here, use my gloves.
I don't really use these.
Oh, you'll have to excuse him.
His idea of working with
his hands is writing a check.

Oh, they went out

They'll be right back.
Oh, okay.

Okay, okay.
Or maybe you don't know

stay in control.
Well, actually--
Just like we painted

Do you remember, pink sparkle?
Yeah, well, I remember
Mom painting, but.
Yeah, well, we all have

He's sentimental that way.
We had bells chime
to start our wedding.
Oh, that is so sweet.
My husband is a true servant.
He'll run himself ragged
to help those in need.
CONNIE:
Sounds like Abby.
We've loved having her
at Nueva Vida.
She is so smart.
Oh, well, she's got
her dad to thank for that.
I'm sure you were
a big part of it.
Well, yeah, but it was
really Steve who took the lead.
He read to her early, did
flashcards on the computer,
taught her to read a spreadsheet
when she was five.
[LAUGHS]
He was all in.
[♪♪♪]
[♪♪♪]
[BIRDS SCREECHING]
[WIND HOWLING]
[♪♪♪]
Hey!
Oh!
Oh, oh, oh, oh!
[BODY THUDS]
[PAINT SPLASHES]
Steve, oh!
Oh, no!
[SIGHING]
[♪♪♪]
[PEOPLE LAUGHING]
I bet you never thought
that the church would be
donating clothes to you, huh?
Welcome to the family,
my friend.
You okay?
[SCOFFS]
It's just a flesh wound.
I'm, I'm sorry if I--
No, no, I, I was overreaching.
Mm-hm.
Well, when you get a second,
I would love for you
to take a look at this.
Okay, Oz, would you
like to lead us in grace?
Of course.
[OZ SPEAKING IN SPANISH]
My son is a good man,
just like his father.
You can trust him with Abby.
So Abby, have you two decided
what kind of wedding
you wanna have?
Oh, uh, something small.
We originally thought we'd
just get married in Mexico,
so we haven't put much
on our wedding registry.
Just like a few things
that we'll need for Africa.
How would you feel if we had
the ceremony in our backyard?
Oh, yeah!
I think we can do
a little bit better than that.
No, really, Dad.
She used to make me
play wedding all the time.
She dreamt about getting
married in a white castle,
drinking from
a chocolate fountain,
dancing with fireworks
in the background.
That's true.
Yeah, I was seven then,
but I can't believe
you remember that.
It wasn't just your dream.
I finally found it.
This is wisdom, my friend.
Read it carefully.
Looks like
it's been through battle.
With three daughters,
consider it a field manual.
Well, thank you.
[PHONE CHIMES]
Bet it's great.
It's the school,
it's automated.
Zoey was marked absent today.
Zoey, why am I getting
a call from the school?
Where are you?
What?
Read the book.
ZOEY:
Dad said I could go.
I never said
you could skip school.
Whatever.
You lied to me.
I did not!
A ditch day to the beach.
You never asked me
where I was going.
She's impossible.
You're impossible.
Look, I just want you
to be honest with me.
Why is that so hard
to understand?
It's kind of hard to be honest
with someone who doesn't
let you do anything.
Why is that so hard
to understand?
All right, that's it,
you're grounded.
What?
Go to your room.
That's not fair!
Now!
Ugh!
[SIGHS]
Why has she gotta be like that?
Just try to have
some patience.
She's 16,
she's not done cooking yet.
Can we microwave her?
[♪♪♪]
They're not gonna have
any hot showers in Kenya,
I'll tell you that.
Abby's gonna have to wrestle
a water buffalo
just to take a bath.
It won't be that bad.
Are you kidding me?
They're gonna have
to walk 10 miles
just to get drinking water
from some muddy river,
and then boil it when they
get back to their hovel.
Mm, you should make a list
of reasons she shouldn't go.
Terrorize her into staying home.
Ooh, you can frame it
as a wedding present.
It's not a bad idea.
I think they'll be happy.
I think
they'll be itchy and swollen.
What's that?
It's the book Carlos gave you.
Looks really good.
Oh, you are your daughter's
first love.
Oh, reminds me of how the girls
used to climb all over you,
fighting for your attention.
What happened, right?
Mm, maybe it'll tell you.
Your daughter needs a hero.
See, this is
all I was trying to be.
Are you sure you
weren't just trying
to one up
your future son-in-law?
It was service day,
I was trying to serve.
And all those suggestions
for the dream wedding,
the castles and fireworks.
She only gets married once.
Why settle for less
than what she really wants?
And you're sure of
what she really wants?
Listen, there's
this wedding coordinator
that a lot of my clients
have used.
Why don't we just set a meeting?
Couldn't hurt to check out
some options, right?
Just to be sure.
[♪♪♪]
[GASPS]
Oh, my gosh, Dad.
And parking for 200.
Who loves you, baby?
Okay, I am seeing this.
This could work.
Welcome, welcome,
welcome, welcome!
Oh, you must be
the beautiful bride.
And her gorgeous groom.
Oh, so lovely to meet you both.
I'm Crystal, come with me.
Let our adventure begin!
We have a variety of locations
for you to exchange your vows.
We have a traditional archway,
of course,
with a lovely view
of the lagoon.
BRIDGET:
Look, they have turtles!
Oh, we can dress them
in wedding attire,
if you like,
for nominal fee, of course.
And for a more exotic flavor,
our lush tropical palm garden
makes for the perfect location
for you to say
your I dos and I don'ts.
Abby, Abby, over here,
and, uh...
Oz.
Oz, yes,
ah, if I only had a brain.
Oh, look at you two,
So precious, so in love.
Stan!
Okay, give her
a kiss on the cheek.
Oh, and give her a high five.
And how about back to back?
Oh, that is a wrap.
Wait, I think I blinked.
Okay, these will be available
to you on the way out.
The first copy is complimentary,
but we do have other packages,
of course.
We also do engagement
parties, couple showers,
retirement, celebrations,
and funerals.
[LAUGHS]
But for now,
let's plan a wedding!
[GASPS]
Am I dreaming?
I don't know,
but I'll tell you this,
I don't wanna wake up.
[♪♪♪]
Oh, can I just move in here?
Oh, Stan, here they are,
here they are.
And now, especially made for
the princess and her prince,
a sampling of menu options
for the ultimate matrimonial
culinary experience,
all perfectly prepared
to your father's specifications.
Stan.
First, a lovely array
of appetizers,
all privately sourced
and organically grown.
My humble recommendation is the
Almas caviar stuffed truffle
paired perfectly
with the white grape
[SPEAKS IN FOREIGN LANGUAGE]
imported from Austria.
Ooh!
Nice try.
Then, for our main course,
we have three options.
From the land, A5 Wagyu
filet mignon center cut
to perfection,
melts in your mouth.
Try, try, try, try,
Abby, try, try.
Oh, wow, it's so good.
So good.
ABBY: Wow.
From the sea, fresh bluefin
tuna directly from Tokyo.
And from the air, breast chicken
from Eastern France.
Chickens don't fly.
Oh, you're a bright one,
aren't you? [LAUGHS]
And then for the big finish.
Don't mind if I do.
We have imported
a Mexican dessert
to give your big day
that personal flavor.
Oh, Dad, that is so sweet.
It's spicy.
[LAUGHS]
Why is that funny?
Well, I mean,
that's habanero cake.
It's for quinceaneras.
It's burning.
Yeah, it's a habanero,
it's one of the hottest
chili peppers in the world.
Awesome!
Stan, could you
get a glass of milk
for the father of the bride?
It seems like someone's
got a tender palate.
Can I have some water, please?
Oh, here, let him
try some champagne.
Can I take that?
Whoa, oh, oh, okay.
It's expensive.
It's worse.
Don't panic.
Stan, hurry up!
[BAND SINGING IN SPANISH]
CONNIE:
I did love the chicken.
And the steak,
that's what we're thinking.
Yeah, that could be
a really good.
ABBY:
I think it's a good compromise.
Oh, honey, you okay?
I can't feel my tongue.
You think this will wash out?
Mm.
Could you guys give
us a minute, please?
Oh, yeah, of course.
Sure, yeah.
[♪♪♪]
You don't like it.
It's not that.
I mean, it's amazing.
It's just the food alone could
fund a year in the field.
Yeah, I know, but I mean,
my dad's paying for it, so.
Would this make you happy?
Not if you're not.
I just thought our wedding
would be a little bit more...
Us.
Yeah.
Come on.
You know,
manage your expectations.
Hey, you guys decide
what you want?
Well, we were just talking
and what would you think,
and I'm just throwing
this out there,
if we made a compromise?
No tuxedos on the turtles.
Yeah, well.
Actually, we've
been talking about
wanting a couple's shower,
you know, kinda like
an engagement party,
so what if we had that here,
but then just had the wedding
in the backyard?
You know, keep it simple.
Crystal can still
do the decorations.
Abbs, this is what
you've always wanted.
This is your wedding.
I know,
but it's not just for me.
[♪♪♪]
It's like he's got
some kind of spell over her.
What happened
to all that independence?
Honey, they're forming
a union, for better or worse.
Well, I say worse.
I think a couple shower's
actually a great idea.
That way they can invite
all of their friends
and we can invite a few of ours.
We can?
It's not unheard of.
You can write a speech,
show her how much
you really care.
[♪♪♪]
How many friends?
[♪♪♪]
Big shower this weekend,
gentlemen.
I know you'll wanna be there.
Put it on the calendar.
We'll see you there.
Here you are,
we'll see you there, can't wait.
Gentlemen, here you go,
we'll see you there.
Okay, one for you, madame.
I can't wait to see you.
Bonnie, couple's shower
this weekend.
Oh, Abby, I remember
when she used to play
with the pencils
and the calculators.
Well, now she'll be playing
with lions and hyenas.
Hey Jimmy, how you doing buddy?
We're gonna see you at
the shindig this weekend.
Big shower, no gift too big.
We'll see you there.
Dave!
What are these, hieroglyphics?
Here, give me the pen.
I'll do it.
[SPEAKS IN SWAHILI]
That means pen in Swahili.
How do you say
lick the envelopes?
Oh,
[SPEAKS IN SWAHILI]
Really?
No, that means I love you.
Ooh, how do you say
hopeless romantic?
Oh, I can't wait
to teach our kids.
Little Oz.
We need to find
a good school, for sure.
Oh, how about you raise
the money and I'll build it?
Hey guys, have you seen Dad?
Um, office.
Don't make me separate
you two, okay?
Honey, I'm headed
to the salon.
Remember to pick up your suit
from the dry cleaners.
Did you know
the State Department
has a travel advisory
for where they're going?
Shouldn't you be
writing your speech?
Yeah, yeah, I'm,
I'm working on it.
Well, maybe ask the girls
if they wanna say something.
You, you really want
to give Zoey the microphone?
Or Bridget then?
Could be kind of cute.
Love you.
You too.
[♪♪♪]
[PEOPLE CHATTERING INDISTINCTLY]
[CONNIE LAUGHING]
Is it just me or do you
have more clients here
than Abby has friends?
I think they're just
showing their support.
Funny, I don't recall
Abby registering
for an $800 espresso machine.
Ooh.
Just magical, am I right?
It's wonderful,
Crystal, really.
Oh, I can't wait to get started
at your house tomorrow,
but for now, let's get
this party started.
Dan!
Dad, did you bring my speech?
I wanna know what you wrote.
Speech you wrote?
I just made suggestions.
It's on the iPad.
How do you pronounce
D-Y-S-E-N-T-E-R-Y?
Dysentery,
what are you reading?
And now
put your hands together
for the princess of the party,
the groom of the room,
the couple in the castle,
Abby and Oz!
[GUESTS CHEERING]
What happened to the dress
we bought her?
Lighten up, honey,
they look adorable.
[GUESTS CHEERING]
Abby, you're so beautiful.
[GUESTS CLAPPING]
Princess, look at you.
Right this way,
right this way, my princess.
Here we are.
Sir, here we go,
have a seat there, okay.
[♪♪♪]
Hello, everyone!
Connie and I would
like to thank you all
for gathering here today
to help us shower Abby and Oz
with love and gifts,
lots and lots of gifts.
Look at that.
[LAUGHS]
I just wanna take
this opportunity
as the one that's
paying for all this
to say a few words
about my, my first born.
You know, it's, it's funny,
at some point you realize
your daughter's taken her
last ride on your shoulders,
and for the life of me,
I don't remember when that was.
Abby, here you stand
at the brink of who knows what,
and I think about all of
the experiences that you've had,
your education, all the
potential that's right here,
and I just know that you'll make
a wise decision
about your future.
I really hope.
But no matter what you decide,
you'll always be my little girl.
A toast to Abby!
[CHUCKLES]
And, uh, Oz.
Oh, not yet, honey, you're last.
And now let's bring up
the couple of the hour.
I think they have a few things
they'd like to say, come on.
[GUESTS CHEERING]
Thank you all
for coming, really.
You're probably wondering
why we're dressed like this.
As some of you know, my parents
have dedicated their lives
to the mission fields.
Abby and I feel
the same calling.
On your table, there's a letter
that gives an overview
of how we wanna share God's love
with our friends in Kenya.
But we need your help
to make that possible,
and that's why
there's also an envelope,
and not to hard sell you,
but you can write off any
donations against your taxes.
That's my MBA talking!
Thank you so much,
again, for coming.
Truly, it means so much to us.
Oh, and I guess
my little sister's gonna
say something now.
Hello, all the reasons
Abby should stay.
Number one,
we will miss her so much.
Number two, there's
a perfectly good job for her
where she could use her degree
and does not require
begging for money.
What's wrong?
That's not the speech.
Number three,
Kenya is very dangerous.
You actually made a list?
It was your idea.
I cannot believe you.
I wasn't gonna frame it.
t*rrorists have been
known to target villages,
transportation hubs,
and markets.
Threats--
Bridget that's, that's enough.
Oh!
Can you not?
Ooh, oh!
Visitors are at risk
for respiratory infections,
dysentery, no hot showers.
Hey, Bridget.
Bridget, hey, thank you.
Bridget, thank you so much.
That was, well,
that was more than,
more than, more than enough.
Hey, why don't you go
sit back with Mama?
Oh, there we go.
Hey, wow.
All right,
that was the wrong file.
Wasn't the speech.
Those were some things
to consider.
You made a list of reasons
you hate my choices?
She wasn't supposed
to read that.
It's all right.
Can we talk about this later?
What?
We're among friends, right?
Say what you wanna say.
Abby, Abby, don't.
Go on, say it.
I wanna hear it.
You don't think I'm ready for
that kinda life, do you, Dad?
You don't even trust me to
make my own decisions, do you?
Do you?
No, I don't, okay?
Do you really wanna hear it?
I think you're being
idealistic and foolish.
I think you are jumping headlong
into a part of the world
that could k*ll you
in a hundred different ways,
and you're not ready, Abby,
and this is not you.
[♪♪♪]
Who's ready for cake?
[♪♪♪]
[SIGHS]
You didn't read the book,
did you?
Is it that obvious?
Well, it was either that
or you thought fight for her
meant fight with her.
Abby and I never used to fight,
and now she's,
she's out of control.
And whose control
would that be?
You're not the only father
who loves her.
Daughters are gifts from God,
but they're not for us to keep.
They're for us
to guide, love, teach,
and then let go.
You can trust God
with her future.
Do you believe that?
You know, we've been praying
for Oz's future wife
ever since he was a little boy.
All this time, you've been
raising an answer to prayer.
You're, you're very kind.
I hope someone says that
about my other two someday.
I've got some patching up to do.
Zoey, whew, talk about
fight with her.
It's not a fight with
flesh and blood, my friend.
It's a spiritual battle.
God made you her dad
for a reason.
Don't underestimate your voice.
Lean in, spend time,
be involved.
You see where
that's gotten me?
Oh, they'll make you feel
like the enemy,
but don't retreat.
It's part of being
a strong father.
[WATER SPLASHES]
Is that turtle wearing a tuxedo?
Yeah.
Steve, Steve, Zoey's gone.
What?
She turned off her location,
she won't answer my calls,
and Abby showed me this.
Zozopartay?
This isn't her Instagram.
They all have two,
one for parents to see,
and one for friends.
Thetoddbodd?
This guy looks 20.
He and his brothers
have some party house
up on Charlotte Street
near the college.
Fight for her, huh?
Can you load up the gifts
and get the girls home?
Yeah, what are you gonna do?
I'm getting an Uber.
No, forget that,
I'll take you, let's go.

to come in with you?
Thanks, but I got this.

All right! We've got rum!
Oh, yes! All right, Dad! Yeah.

Everything is under control.

Yeah,
'cause some parents are cool.
Not another word out of you.

Well, Zoey's not Abby.
It's like
I don't even know her.
Well, yeah, I mean,
when was the last time
you made an effort
to really know her,
or Bridget, for that matter,
took them to ice cream,
went to the movies,
asked how their day was?
I'm getting really tired of
feeling like the bad guy here.
I work my butt off
for this family.
It's not the work
they want, Steve, it's you.
I remember with my dad,
when things were good.
I just, I just wish
I'd had more time,
time for hugs,
more time to talk.
When things were bad,
I wanted time to heal.
I didn't get enough of that
with him before he passed away.

I thought I could trust you.
You can.
You showed them
my private account.
Mom was freaking out, okay?
You just took off
without telling anybody.
Dude, you got engaged
without telling anybody.
I just wanna be treated
like an adult.
Trust me, Zoey, you don't
need to be in such a hurry.
Being an adult is hard.
You have to get a job,
start paying rent, buying food.
Oh, man.
Don't tell me that after
tonight, you're on his side.
Can I ask you a question?
Did you really want
what would've happened
if Dad hadn't come after you?
You put yourself in
a dangerous spot.
Says the African queen.
I heard Bridget's speech.
Yeah, me too.
So what,
you didn't know all of that?
Listen, Zoey, I,
I don't want things to be
weird between us, okay?
Can we just start over?
[♪♪♪]
[BIRDS CHIRPING]
[♪♪♪]
[POOL BALLS CRASHING]
Mr. Parston, we need to talk.
Oz, believe me, I had no idea
that Bridget
was gonna read that list.
I know, I know.
Look, can I be honest?
Yeah.
I know you were hoping that
Abby would chill here with you
and be a part of your
whole work thing,
so you're disappointed.
I understand your concerns
about Kenya, trust me,
but I can't think of
a safer place to be
than in the center
of God's will.
STEVE:
Well, forgive me
for not seeing that
quite as clearly as you.
OZ:
I know it may seem extreme,
but it is not something
that we're taking lightly,
which is why we have partners,
which is why we're training,
and which is why we're praying.
And sir, with all due respect,
shouldn't that be
for me and Abby to decide,
as husband and wife?
It's clear that I am
not what you had in mind
for your daughter, but I
am committed to her 100%,
and I'd really appreciate
it if you backed me.
You know, it's hard enough
thinking I can measure up
when I'm competing
with all of this.
You're not gonna believe this.
Believe what?
Someone gave us
a yacht club membership.
Dad, we need to talk to you
about the gifts.
Do you wanna talk about what
happened last night first?
[DOORBELL RINGING]
Uh, hang on.
Good morning!
Oh, hello, sleepy head.
Oh, I know you
had a rough night,
but the schedule never sleeps.
Could, could you--?
Okay, okay.
Just give me a moment.
Okay, uh-huh.
Connie!
Okay, you didn't tell me you
were hiding a beautiful house
that's ready to be magical.
Oh, look at these windows,
so much light.
Ooh, hello, sun!
This kitchen, look at
the island. I love this island.
This island is waiting
for a moment,
so we're gonna have
to bring in flowers.
We're gonna have to bring
in fabric, lighting.
CONNIE: Crystal, Crystal.
CRYSTAL: I am 10,000% sure
this is gonna be fabulous.
Crystal, before we get too far,
we may need
to make some changes.
I know, isn't it amazing?
We're making so many changes.
I'm sorry, Daddy.
CRYSTAL: There's much to do.
Here we go.
Hey.
It's all my fault.
I shouldn't have read
that stuff.
That dance floor
goes to the left.
You didn't do anything wrong.
Then why is everybody so mad?
I'm thinking roses
along the wall.
Sometimes people make choices
that are not good for them.
Mr. Parston,
how would you feel
about repainting
the entire house?
I'm thinking bridal veil white
with an emerald forest trim.
ABBY: Dad.
Oh, Abby, what do you think
about peacocks
along the perimeter?
Crystal, I think Stan
is looking for you.
Oh, thank you. Okay, Stan, Stan!
We wanna return the gifts.
What?
It's nothing
against your friends,
it's just we don't need
all of this stuff.
You know, we'd rather put
the money toward the mission.
[LAUGHS]
So that's it?
Why don't we just sell
the house while we're at it?
Steve?
No, I mean it,
like, in all of this,
have I heard a thank you?
Thanks, Dad, for
sacrificing all those years
to give me a good life,
for buying me a car
and sending me off to college
and paying for peacocks.
Steve, stop.
No, I'm serious.
An ounce of appreciation
or respect, but no,
we're just gonna
throw it all away.
You still don't get it,
do you, Dad?
This isn't about you.
No, you've made that very clear.
Daddy, you're
ruining everything.
You know what?
If this is how you're gonna be,
I don't even want
the wedding here.
Abby, don't say that.
No, Mom, I'm serious.
We decided to wait
and have it here for you guys,
but it's not worth it.
Come on.

[CAR ENGINE WHIRRING]

[SIGHS]

Lord help me.
[♪♪♪]
[♪♪♪]
She's still not responding.
Connie, I'm sorry.
I've been,
I took my eye off the ball.
You still reading?
And thinking.
Did you know Abby put together
an entire fundraising plan
for the orphanage?
Yeah, she told me.
"With your help, we can double
the capacity of Nueva Vida,
showing love to the least,
the last, and the lost."
It's amazing.
She's not wasting her degree.
I can see that.
Zoey's asking when
she can have her phone back.
Something about texting friends
about missing assignments.
Well, let's give
it back to her,
but no more accounts
we don't have access to.
Agreed.
And location stays on.
And the expectation that
we can check it at any time.
Agreed.
Hey, I love you,
and I know you love the girls.
I'm gonna get better
at how I show them.
BRIDGET:
Mommy!
I have to go put
Bridget to bed.
Hey, you know what?
I got this.
[♪♪♪]
Oh, I've finally made it, whoa.
Are you and Mom
getting divorced?
No, why would you say that?
Jake's parents were fighting
and now they're
getting divorced.
Honey, I'm, I'm so sorry
to hear that.
Mom and I disagree sometimes,
but I, I love her
more than anything,
and you know what?
She gave me the best
three things of my life,
Abby, Zoey, and you.
[GIGGLING]
Oh, no, oh, no,
here comes Mr. Snake.
Oh, no, who's gonna save
you now, little girl?
Oh, I'll rescue you, Bridget.
Got him!
My hero.
Will you do that again?
Why?
Because I need it.
Mm, good night.
I love you, Dad.
I love you, too.

[STEVE SIGHS]
[KNOCKING]
Hi, it's Abby,
leave a message.
Hey Abby, I'm at
the Flores Church right now.
I was hoping you might be here.
Went by the rectory,
no one was there either.
Listen, I, I'm...
I really wanna talk to you.
Call me back, okay?
[♪♪♪]
[KEYS JINGLE]
What, you didn't drag
Abby back home, too?
Sorry I embarrassed you.
Embarrassed me?
You humiliated me.
Yeah, I probably could
have done that better,
but I'm not sorry
for protecting you.
Zoey, I know you,
you want to feel wanted,
but your actions,
they have consequences.
I know I haven't been
an expert at communicating this,
but I really love you.
[♪♪♪]
[PHONE CHIMES]
Who's that?
It's Abby.
"Hi Mom and Dad,
I never wanted my wedding
to be a source of tension
between us,
but I'm tired
of fighting about it.
Oz and I have decided
to reset this whole thing
and get married where we feel
the most at home together."
At Nueva Vida?
"We decided there's no
reason to wait anymore,
so we're just gonna make it
small and do it tomorrow.
We'd still love for you to come,
but if you can't accept
this, we understand.
Please don't hate me."
Oh, Abby.
Okay, get dressed, get packed.
We're going now.
Steve, we are not
driving down to Mexico
to stop their wedding.
Stop it?
I don't wanna miss it.
[♪♪♪]
STEVE:
Text her again.
Steve, I've texted,
I've called.
She's just not responding.
What about Carlos and Bella?
I've left three messages.
[PHONE CHIMES]
Are you okay?
I saw your Instagram pictures.
Can you not?
You, you have a really good eye.
How would you feel
about taking my camera
when we get down there?
You could be the official
wedding photographer.
If we haven't missed it.
[♪♪♪]
CONNIE:
Are you sure this is right?
STEVE:
I have no idea.
CONNIE:
I have no service, do you?
STEVE:
No, no, the GPS
is not working.
[CONNIE SIGHS]
There!
[CHILDREN SPEAKING INDISTINCTLY]
[♪♪♪]
CARLOS:
Steve!
Oh, my goodness, you're here.
I can't believe it.
Did we miss it?
It never started.
You stopped it?
I asked Abby if she
really wanted to get married
without her family here.
She's locked herself
away ever since.
She's in the chapel now,
but she won't talk to anyone.
Oh, I'm so glad you're here.
Oz, I'm so sorry.
I never should have
put pressure on you.
Ah, thank you, but I'm
the one who should apologize.
She was so upset, I just,
we should have never run out.
Can you go talk to her?
I'm the one that caused all
this trouble in the first place.
Sir, I don't think you realize
how important you are to her.
Please.
[♪♪♪]
[DOOR CREAKING]
Abbs?
Daddy?
Hey.
You came.
Did you get our texts
or our calls?
No, the service here
is terrible.
Honey, I'm, I'm so sorry.
I didn't listen to you.
You were right the whole time.
What?
You were right.
I'm, I'm not ready.
I can't leave my family.
What if I never
see you guys again?
Daddy, I'm scared.
Hey, there's a guy out there
that is deeply in love with you.
Do you love him?
More than anything.
And you truly feel
called to Kenya?
I think so.
I mean, then you started
talking about the risks
and now I don't know
what to think.
I'm, I'm sorry,
I shouldn't filled your head
with my fears.
The truth is I couldn't
bring myself to let you go.
You're my little girl,
but I also see that you
are a brave, selfless woman
that wants to change the world.
I read your proposal
made for Nueva Vida.
It's fantastic,
and with your permission,
I, I'd like to show it around.
I know some people.
Really?
Abbs, you got a gift,
and now I can see
that's a gift you need to share,
even if it's halfway
around the world.
But what about the firm?
What about your plans?
Well, yeah, the firm
will probably go under
and your mom and I'll be
destitute, but Bridget is cute,
so she can beg for food
for all of us.
I'm learning to let go
of my plans,
and I think it's time
that you and I both started
trusting God with his.
Dad, thank you.
Let's go get you married.

[GUESTS LAUGHING]
Who gives this woman
to be married?
Her mother and I do.
Wait.
Oz, I give you my blessing.
Thanks, Dad.
Please be seated.
[♪♪♪]
Oz, Abby, marriage isn't
just between two people.
It's a family affair.
As you enter now
into the covenant of matrimony,
you reflect God's will
for his people,
that they should
be joined with him
in eternity through Christ.
Please repeat after me.
I, Oswaldo Christopher Flores.
I, Oswaldo Christopher Flores.
Take you, Abigail Joy Parston.
Take you Abigail Joy Parston.
To be my lawfully wedded wife.
To be my lawfully wedded wife.
As long as we both shall live.
As long as we both shall live.
CARLOS:
I, Abigail Joy Parston.

Take you,

As long as we both shall live.
As long

And now, by the
authority vested in me
and in the name of the
Father, Son and Holy Spirit,
I pronounce you man and wife.

She's beautiful, isn't she?
That's exactly how I feel
