BIRDSONG OUTSIDE

No, you don't.

OK, come on...

Go, go, go!

Ah! So you finally dragged yourself out of your pit, then?

Yeah, I didn't...

Wow! Didn't realise the time there.

-Yeah, well, full English on the table.

-Lovely.

-Orange juice, paracetamol. The works.

-That's lovely.

Quickly...

-Quick, quick!

-Wait. Wait, listen.

-Last night, yeah...

-Just go, yeah?

No, look...

-Yes?

-It was good, right?

I mean, we were good, right? I mean,

it wasn't just that you was drunk?

No. No. I wasn't drunk.

-No?

-No.

But it was a mistake. And it'll never happen again.

FRONT DOOR OPENS AND CLOSES

There's nothing more to say.

There's nothing more to say?

You sneaking out on the morning of our wedding with your bags packed

and there's nothing more to say?

Look, Sy, last night,

this morning, I meant it.

-Christian...

-I forgive you.

-I know that, but...

-No buts.

-It's only money.

-Tam's money, his college fund.

The money for Kamil. I invested it all with that guy.

Yeah. Because you were trying to help.

No, I've done it all before.

They have a dream - I mess it up. It's what I do.

-No, Sy, you don't.

-The worst thing is, they don't know a thing about it

because I haven't got the guts to tell them.

And we will sort it, together.

You and me.

Now I don't ever, ever,

want you to go through something like this again on your own.

So whatever happens, whatever it is you've done...

you just tell me.

OK?

Big day for you.

Eldest son getting married.

It's not a marriage. I wish people would stop calling it a marriage.

It's a marriage in his heart.

Look at us, Mas.

When we were kids, would you have thought this is where we'd be today?

Thought you were staying here last night?

-Tell Zainab I'll be five minutes.

-I'll wait.

Oi, hey! Come on, go.

You're cutting it a bit fine, aren't you?

The wedding's off.

Door was open.

-Sy, please don't do this.

-Is one of you going to tell me...?

There's NOTHING to tell.

Christian, please?

-He's going to find out sometime.

-I already know.

-Christian's right.

-Look, Dad...

-Syed.

It's not worth ending a relationship just because of a kiss.

What kiss?

I ain't feeling too well.

So you're a bit hungover! Come on, Zainab's your friend.

Ain't like you got so many you can afford to let them down, is it?

-Cheers. I'm feeling better already.

-Aw! Everyone loves a wedding.

Won't be the same without my sis.

And since when did you go all shy and retiring?

Anyhow, you and me don't show, they won't going have any guests at all!

-What have you said to him?

-Just go, Dad.

-What argument?!

-Everyone argues! It's private!

-I am talking to Christian!

-You and Mum always argue.

To the point where we cancel our wedding?

To the point you walk out on your marriage.

-I don't know how this became about me...

-Couldn't wait, could you?

But your mum and your brother are over there

making sure that everything looks perfect for your big day!

Now whatever's happened, whatever's going on,

sort it out!

Thank you.

For not saying anything about the money.

What kiss?

I thought if he could double my money,

-I could put back what I'd borrowed...

-Double your money?

You kissed a guy!

Another guy

a couple of days before you're supposed to be marrying me?

And you think it's all right because you did it for money?

-I didn't do it for money!

-For what then? You fancy him?

You were...

-Everything was about the wedding!

-Pardon me for being excited!

-And Yasmin...

-She's our daughter, Sy!

-Yours and mine.

-I know that, but...

-What? You jealous?

-No!

-Jealous I'm spending more time with her, not looking after you?

At least she tells me what she wants!

-Doesn't leave me second-guessing her all the time.

-Danny was there and...

And what? And I wasn't?!

And so you tell your dad and you don't tell me?

-He saw us.

-This just gets better, don't it?

And if he hadn't?

Would you have told me?

-I didn't want to hurt you.

-Yeah, well,

you should have thought of that

before you shoved your tongue down somebody else's throat!

You and me...

What we have...

..it's special.

Now, I know you feel that.

And so whatever's happened...

-..has happened.

-Christian...

I will not let something like this ruin everything we fought for.

-Yes, I know that, but...

-No buts, all right?

It was just a kiss.

A kiss. I mean, I kissed someone, remember?

-New Year's Eve? I kissed the piper.

-That was different.

-It wasn't.

OK? It was heat of the moment.

Things happen.

You forgave me.

And I forgive you.

It was just a kiss.

No, it wasn't.

Yes, but I need to know where to put them.

Jean, why don't you just leave the flowers with us, OK?

My job is flower arranger!

I told Christian I'd be flower arranger,

Christian has paid me to be flower arranger

so arrange the flowers I shall do!

What, you did it at ours? In our bed?

-No!

-Oh, well, that makes it all right, don't it?

Look, we never...

we didn't.

It was only a kiss.

What I meant was...

..in my head,

in my heart, it was more.

So you mean, the two of you, you never...

So what is it? You got feelings for him?

-No.

-Well, what, then, Sy?

What do you mean, "It was more than a kiss? It's in my heart"?

I mean the fact that it happened. I can't pretend it didn't

and you stand there and forgive me like it's nothing,

like it's not important, but it is important. It's not nothing!

I shouldn't even be looking at anyone else.

You're the only guy I've ever been with.

Don't be so ridiculous.

You've had one-night stands. You told me so.

Properly been with.

You've had other boyfriends.

You know this is what you want.

-And you don't?

-I'm too young to get married.

-Never said that last time, did you?

-I got it wrong the last time.

I don't want to get it wrong again.

And that's what I am now, is it?

"Getting it wrong"?

I wanted to be someone!

I'm sick of walking around here like I'm nothing.

Everyone looking at me like I'm no-one.

And that's what do you think I do, is it?

I thought the business, the stall, taking over the restaurant,

I thought I could show people I'm not no-one

and I tried. I really tried.

Then things started falling apart

and I thought, "Maybe that's who I am."

And then someone came along

-and made me feel like I could be someone!

-I can't listen to this.

Only he didn't.

And I don't.

And I can't marry you, Christian.

How can I promise myself to you when I don't even know who I am?

-I'm scared too, you know.

-You're not scared of anything.

You want to bet?

You walk through life like it's so easy.

You tell people what you think of them.

You face them down when they say what they think of you.

I'm not like that.

Doesn't mean I'm not scared, though. And as you graciously pointed out,

I've had more men than you've had hot dinners.

-I didn't say that.

-I have, though, ain't I?

Spent my life falling in love...

Well, thinking I've fallen in love, getting hurt...

Falling for the wrong men for all the wrong reasons.

But with you, it's different.

And that scares me.

It scares me I won't be good enough,

that I'll let you down.

But being scared, Sy,

that's no reason not to go through with this.

I mean, if you weren't scared...

..if we weren't scared...

I've lost you before.

Lost you twice.

I can't do that again.

But I won't be Amira.

Now if you're marrying me because you are too scared to back out,

then you say so now.

You only went through with your last wedding

because you thought it was the right thing to do

because everybody wanted you to.

I can't have you do that again.

Not to yourself.

And certainly not to me.

Now, we might not have money, but that doesn't matter.

-When my family find out...

-We'll sort it.

Together.

You and me.

I'll speak to Roxy. She'll know someone you can borrow from.

-I thought the two of you were...

-Sy, it really doesn't matter.

She's my best mate. She won't let me down.

Now, I need to go.

Get changed. Everybody's waiting.

And I'll be waiting there too.

Now, I don't know much about anything,

but I do know that life is way too short for games.

So you marry me

cos you love me.

Or not at all.

You're late.

Yeah, sorry. I was, um...busy.

Getting dressed and that.

-What have you come as? Half a panda?

-No. Um, ain't Denise here?

-No, Denise is not here.

-She'll be along soon.

Kim is not here. Amy and Roxy are not here.

Syed and Christian are not even here!

-Mr and Mrs Masood?

-What?!

-Well...

-Not quite.

I'm the registrar.

Oh, yes, yes, lovely to meet you.

Please, yes, come inside, let me get you a drink.

I've got another ceremony to get to, actually. Shall we start?

Oh, well...why don't we have a few more minutes?

Aren't you going to be late?

-Is everything OK?

-You better not be wearing that.

-Like you want me there.

-Like I'd do this without you.

-I'm sorry.

-Me too.

-You didn't do anything!

Yeah, well, we're like an old married couple, me and you.

Do you know what? I'm just... I'm like a 34-year-old single mum

and sometimes it just gets a bit hard. That's all.

Well, you can cry into your pillow tomorrow

-because right now, we have a wedding to attend.

-Are you sure?

-Get hitched without a bridesmaid?

-She's with Jack.

Well, we'd best go get her, then, hadn't we? Come on.

Are you really sure you don't mind?

Come here. It's the party that counts. Right?

OK, well, as soon as the cover for the chippy turns up, I'll be there.

-No worries.

-Good luck.

-I need a favour.

-No, no, no, please don't ask me to read

-cos I'll cry. I will.

-It's nothing like that.

I need help. I need to borrow some cash.

For what?

Trust me?

OK. I'll do what I can.

Come on, then. Going to be late for my own wedding.

BHANGRA MUSIC PLAYS

Can you put some decent music on, please?

You, you behave yourself today. And YOU, you're a princess.

Move, Kamil.

MUSIC: "Your Song" by Elton John

Uh...you look...nice.

Got to go with the flow, innit?

-What, your alarm clock not working?

-It's lovely to see you too, Zainab.

I am amazed that you dared to show your face today.

-Dirty dancing with strangers.

-KIM LAUGHS

Um...how you doing, Denise? You look really nice.

"Nice"? He speaks English now?

Look at your eye!

What, this? This is nothing, man. It's cool.

He got that for you, you know, Dee. I hope you thanked him properly.

-You are looking mighty fine. Eh?

-Don't you start.

So we're not the last, then?

Anything else you'd like to remind me of? Huh?

What do we need? We need a bridesmaid. We need a witness.

We need a bridegroom. Or two.

-That's good. You're not worried at all, then?

-Of course not.

Nothing to worry about.

Masood was, in fact, just going to go get them.

-It's only just gone 12.

-Do I have to do everything myself?

Looking for me?

-Yes! You're late.

-I know. Sorry.

Don't you look beautiful?

Have you got some flowers she can hold?

-She's shown her dress to a bar of chocolate.

-I can stand in.

No, thank you. Tamwar! Get some flowers for Amy!

So now all we need is Syed.

THUNDER AND RAIN

MUSIC: "Don't Know Why" by Norah Jones

Either he's got something wrong with his eye

-or he's got the hots for you.

-Don't be stupid.

Why's it stupid? You're a good-looking woman.

-For your age.

-Thank you.

She is, though, innit, chuckle chops?

-What, Dee?

-Yeah!

Um...

Yeah...Dee's hotter than summer in St Lucia, you know.

Hmm! See? The boy thinks you're hot.

-Hey, hey, hey! Less of the boy.

-I know a man when I see one.

-St Lucia?

-It's a hot country.

He's not answering.

I've really got to go to my next ceremony.

-You're worse than a traffic warden, you!

-Zee!

-It's OK.

He's not coming.

-What do you mean, he's not coming?

-He's, um...

It doesn't matter now. All that matters is that he's...

Ladies and gentlemen...

MUSIC: "Stand By Me" by Ben E King

# When the night has come

# And the land is dark

# And the moon is the only light we'll see

# No, I won't be afraid

# Oh, I won't be afraid

# Just as long as you stand

# Stand by me

# So darlin', darlin'

# Stand by me

# Oh, stand by me

# Oh, stand

# Stand by me

# Stand by me

# If the sky that we look upon

# Should tumble and fall

# Or the mountain should crumble to the sea

# I won't cry

# I won't cry

# No, I won't shed a tear

# Just as long as you stand

# Stand by me... #

Oh, no! Stupid, stupid, stupid!

I will cherish you, tenderly care for you,

uphold you always and honour you.

I'll always give you my best

and I'll ask no more of you than you can give.

I'll be a good dad... SYED MOUTHS

..to our little girl.

I'll be there for her, to listen...

..help guide her towards her dreams.

I pledge to live my life openly and honestly with you.

To be right here by your side

on this journey, wherever it may lead.

Because you are the heart of my everything.

My everyday,

my always.

And I love you more than all the stars in the heavens.

Syed. Would you like to make the vows that you have chosen?

Tam?

Thank you.

I give you this ring, Christian...

..as a symbol of my everlasting commitment.

I hope that you will wear it with happiness and pride,

for now and always.

You are my partner...

..my friend...

..my rock

and my island.

But above all,

more than all this and everything else...

..you are the one I love.

Christian and Syed,

you have made commitments to each other

in the presence of family, friends and witnesses

and in so doing, you have made promises

to live your lives together.

I now ask that you and your witnesses

-come and sign the schedule.

-Yes, please!

LAUGHTER

MUSIC: "Fields of Gold" by Sting

Ladies first.

LAUGHTER

Sorry.

Syed and Christian,

it gives me great pleasure to announce

that you are now joined in legal partnership.

CHEERING

Confetti! Hurrah!

THUNDER RUMBLES

-Go to Bobie's.

-See you soon!

So, congratulations!

Thank you!

-Did I cry enough?

-Yeah.

Can you believe it? I'm married!

Do you know what? I hope you know what you've taken on.

Don't put it like that!

Uh...

Do you want a little something in that? Hair of the dog? Woof?

Meow! Now you're talking my language!

Or we could take this somewhere quieter?

Do you know, I think my stomach, it's gone again.

Playing hard to get. She does it all the time.

I'll be back at home.

Fats, we've got a problem. I can't find my speech.

Chill out, Tamwar, the Asian star!

-You know it.

-I don't. That's the thing, I'll forget it

and I've left it at home, so...

Um...

-Give me the keys.

-Huh?

SPOON CLINKS ON GLASS

-I'll go and get it. Give me your keys.

-Thanks.

MASOOD CLEARS HIS THROAT

As father of the groom, or one of the grooms...

LAUGHTER

-..I'd like to say a few words.

-Just a few.

-Thank you, darling.

Uh...

I've said a few things in the past...

..some horrible things.

Some of them in this very room.

I'm not proud of them. And I want to say I'm sorry.

What I am proud of, is my son,

for walking through life with his head held high...

..for being who he is,

finding someone to love, and standing by him.

I had three sons until today and now I've got four.

I couldn't be happier.

Don't set me off!

I don't tell you very often. In fact, I never tell you at all.

-But...

-CAR PULLS UP OUTSIDE

I respect you.

I support you.

-And I love you.

-HAMMERING AT DOOR

I have a court order for possession.

-What are you doing?

-We're in the middle of a civil partnership!

You can't just barge in here!

You've got four months of mortgage arrears.

-Oi! What you doing?

-I need to ask you all to leave.

What have you done?

-I haven't done anything!

-Then what are they doing here?

Tamwar! What have you done?
