0:00:02 > 0:00:05Ralphy and Michelle are getting hitched,
0:00:05 > 0:00:08but this wedding will be like nothing you've ever seen
0:00:08 > 0:00:12because it's being planned by the person you'd least expect.
0:00:12 > 0:00:14I hate wedding planning.
0:00:14 > 0:00:17- The groom. - What's a veil?- What's a veil?!
0:00:17 > 0:00:20We've given Ralphy a 25,000 to spend.
0:00:20 > 0:00:23Are you kidding me? 13 grand for a dress?
0:00:23 > 0:00:24But just three short weeks...
0:00:24 > 0:00:27It's going to take them two full weeks to reconstruct the gown.
0:00:27 > 0:00:29I get married in two weeks.
0:00:29 > 0:00:31..to plan the entire wedding...
0:00:31 > 0:00:33So do we just Google weddings?
0:00:33 > 0:00:36..with absolutely no input from his bride.
0:00:36 > 0:00:39My biggest fear is that people aren't going to be invited.
0:00:39 > 0:00:41Oh, and his only fountain of wisdom,
0:00:41 > 0:00:42the best man.
0:00:42 > 0:00:46- The bathroom makes the like... - I want to party in here now.
0:00:46 > 0:00:49The dress stress is overwhelming Ralphy.
0:00:49 > 0:00:50It's about 3,000.
0:00:50 > 0:00:53And tempers flair under the extreme pressure.
0:00:53 > 0:00:56Are you coming to this wedding cos I don't need you there?
0:00:56 > 0:00:58I won't go. How about this? I won't go.
0:00:58 > 0:00:59Will the bride even show up
0:00:59 > 0:01:03after his bachelorette party surprise rubs her the wrong way?
0:01:03 > 0:01:04I hate you.
0:01:04 > 0:01:06Can this man
0:01:06 > 0:01:08- give this woman... - I won't look like a fool.
0:01:08 > 0:01:10..the wedding of her dreams?
0:01:10 > 0:01:11He'll give up, that's it.
0:01:11 > 0:01:14He'll be like, "I just want to go home and lay on the couch."
0:01:14 > 0:01:16I'm done.
0:01:27 > 0:01:30Meet Ralphy and Michelle from Clifton, New Jersey.
0:01:30 > 0:01:34They've been dating for eight years and are ready to tie the knot.
0:01:34 > 0:01:35We met at a country club.
0:01:35 > 0:01:39I used to work as a waitress and he worked as a valet.
0:01:39 > 0:01:41One night I gave him my keys
0:01:41 > 0:01:43and there was a rose in my car at the end of the night.
0:01:43 > 0:01:47The next week there was a little valet ticket by the handle
0:01:47 > 0:01:50of my door and it says, "Ralphy, call me," and his number.
0:01:50 > 0:01:54- It didn't say "Call me!"- Whatever. - It had my number on it.
0:01:54 > 0:01:57And we've been dating since.
0:01:57 > 0:01:59Last time I was romantic. That's it.
0:01:59 > 0:02:00He started to grow on me.
0:02:00 > 0:02:06He really brought me down to a level of not being so, um...
0:02:06 > 0:02:08- Stuck up.- I guess, yeah.
0:02:08 > 0:02:12Ralphy and I have a daughter. Her name is Isabella.
0:02:12 > 0:02:14We're not married yet, because,
0:02:14 > 0:02:17at the time we were trying to get married, the baby was coming along.
0:02:17 > 0:02:19We were trying to purchase the house.
0:02:19 > 0:02:22It was a foreclosure, so it needed a lot of work
0:02:22 > 0:02:25and, financially, we were just not ready.
0:02:25 > 0:02:28Ralphy's not a romantic person.
0:02:28 > 0:02:30He never has been, probably never will be.
0:02:30 > 0:02:33- There was no official proposal. - No, there wasn't. - Just we're engaged now.
0:02:33 > 0:02:35When it came down to the wedding ring
0:02:35 > 0:02:39I just took her to the store and asked her to choose it out.
0:02:39 > 0:02:41I've never gotten down on one knee, no.
0:02:41 > 0:02:44He never really put it on my finger.
0:02:44 > 0:02:46Yeah, sorry.
0:02:46 > 0:02:49Ooh, sounds like you blew your proposal, Ralphy.
0:02:49 > 0:02:52Hopefully you'll be able to redeem yourself with this wedding.
0:02:52 > 0:02:53I do wish he would be more romantic.
0:02:53 > 0:02:56I thought certain things were OK, but they're not.
0:02:56 > 0:02:59- Supposedly he's El Romantico. - El Romantico.
0:03:02 > 0:03:04I work with a partner in a used car dealership.
0:03:04 > 0:03:07We just basically buy and sell used cars.
0:03:07 > 0:03:08I love cars, I love motorcycles.
0:03:08 > 0:03:10Buying and selling them, that's what I do,
0:03:10 > 0:03:13but I am not a good planner.
0:03:13 > 0:03:14I cannot plan anything.
0:03:14 > 0:03:17If he's hungry at the time that he is shopping,
0:03:17 > 0:03:19or if he's just not in the mood,
0:03:19 > 0:03:23if he's too hot, if there's too long a wait, he'll give up. That's it.
0:03:23 > 0:03:26He'll be like, "I want to go home and lay on the couch."
0:03:26 > 0:03:30I don't know what's right or wrong, when it comes down to anything related to a wedding.
0:03:30 > 0:03:34I think this is the time for me to make up for all the times
0:03:34 > 0:03:35I haven't been romantic.
0:03:35 > 0:03:37I think I need to step it up
0:03:37 > 0:03:40and actually do something to surprise her and make her really happy.
0:03:40 > 0:03:43Every wedding that I've been to of my family
0:03:43 > 0:03:44they always have a mariachi band there.
0:03:44 > 0:03:47It's kind of a tradition to have that.
0:03:47 > 0:03:50I have no ideas for the wedding whatsoever.
0:03:50 > 0:03:51I haven't thought about anything.
0:03:51 > 0:03:54- You ready to rock and roll?- Yeah.
0:03:54 > 0:03:59Can this romantically challenged man go from Mr Nomance to El Romantico?
0:03:59 > 0:04:02Me and Isabella will be going to be with my mom for the three weeks.
0:04:02 > 0:04:06Being apart for three weeks is going to be kinda weird actually,
0:04:06 > 0:04:07to be honest with you,
0:04:07 > 0:04:11when you're used to seeing somebody every day of your life.
0:04:11 > 0:04:13- I'll be able to function. - He's going to starve.
0:04:13 > 0:04:15I'm not going to starve.
0:04:22 > 0:04:24But Ralphy isn't alone.
0:04:24 > 0:04:29His best man, the sweet and sensitive Gary, is here to help.
0:04:29 > 0:04:31Me and Ralphy are very close friends.
0:04:31 > 0:04:33About eight years I've known Ralphy.
0:04:33 > 0:04:37I think Gary will be able to help me out with things I'm going to miss.
0:04:37 > 0:04:39I'm getting married and he is too.
0:04:39 > 0:04:42So Ralphy's going to jump on that bandwagon, also.
0:04:42 > 0:04:44Whatever his girl says, he does.
0:04:44 > 0:04:46He brings her everywhere, he wants to do everything with her.
0:04:46 > 0:04:48It kind of makes me sick to my stomach.
0:04:48 > 0:04:51He's very in touch with his feminine side. He's a lover boy.
0:04:51 > 0:04:53Ralphy knows more about bikes then brides.
0:04:53 > 0:04:56This unromantic man has a lot to learn.
0:04:56 > 0:04:58So do we just Google weddings?
0:04:58 > 0:05:00I'm going to tell you, the biggest thing is the venue, bro.
0:05:00 > 0:05:04- You got to know where you want to do it.- Doesn't the place give you...
0:05:04 > 0:05:07- No.- They don't offer like any package with flowers included?- No.
0:05:07 > 0:05:11Do they offer an all-in-one package where they do everything for you?
0:05:11 > 0:05:14- Nah, they don't.- I want you to get the DJ, the flowers and the limo.
0:05:14 > 0:05:17I think that they wouldn't do that cos it comes into,
0:05:17 > 0:05:19"We want to do what you want to do."
0:05:19 > 0:05:23So if they mess it up, it's like, "It's not our fault type of thing."
0:05:23 > 0:05:27- What's up with the food situation? - They supply the food, yeah.
0:05:27 > 0:05:32- So, what do we want?- You can special request things, I know that.
0:05:32 > 0:05:36- Right, OK, so food, the venue takes care of it?- Yeah.
0:05:36 > 0:05:40And then the drinks too, all that stuff.
0:05:40 > 0:05:42How about the little things, the tuxedos?
0:05:42 > 0:05:48Yeah, I got to get the dresses too.
0:05:49 > 0:05:51Oh, my God!
0:05:51 > 0:05:53That's the tough part, bro.
0:05:53 > 0:05:57It's up to me. It's what I say what goes.
0:05:57 > 0:06:02If I screw this up, I probably won't get married.
0:06:02 > 0:06:05- But- BLEEP- it, let's see what comes out of it.
0:06:05 > 0:06:06So, dress.
0:06:06 > 0:06:12I have to do the bridesmaids too.
0:06:12 > 0:06:14- I have to do everybody.- Oh, man.
0:06:14 > 0:06:19- It's a lot to do, bro, believe me. - All right, so, we'll figure it out.
0:06:19 > 0:06:22Let's check at least three places at least, you know.
0:06:22 > 0:06:25- Take the phone number. - I want to have more options, man.
0:06:25 > 0:06:27See how much they're charging, too, man.
0:06:27 > 0:06:29There's always room to negotiate.
0:06:29 > 0:06:31You can't just take the price they give you.
0:06:31 > 0:06:33Spoken like a true used car salesman.
0:06:33 > 0:06:37Here's one place me and my girl looked at. It's mushy, mushy stuff.
0:06:37 > 0:06:38I feel like we're getting married here.
0:06:38 > 0:06:42- Oh, do you like this place, honey? - Ah, man!
0:06:42 > 0:06:46Yeah, hi, um, I guess I'm trying to reach banquet sales.
0:06:46 > 0:06:50The 12th? Mmm, that's a little bit far back.
0:06:50 > 0:06:53I'm sort of planning everything so last minute.
0:06:53 > 0:06:56With only three weeks to plan what takes most people a year to complete,
0:06:56 > 0:07:00has stress has just begun.
0:07:00 > 0:07:02I think he might mess up the dress.
0:07:02 > 0:07:05The hardest part is that dress, bro. Little girl's dream about this, man.
0:07:05 > 0:07:07"When I get married this is what I want to wear."
0:07:07 > 0:07:09They wrap themselves up in toilet paper.
0:07:09 > 0:07:12"My dress is going to look better than yours."
0:07:12 > 0:07:15- Do you know her size? - She's this size.
0:07:15 > 0:07:18- They go by numbers, bro. You know how guys are like in the '30s?- Yeah.
0:07:18 > 0:07:23- Girls are like zero to 10 to 11. - Really? What happened to 34, 33, 32?
0:07:23 > 0:07:27If it's too big, we can staple it.
0:07:27 > 0:07:29- Do you know what's a veil? - No, what is it?
0:07:29 > 0:07:33That's the thing they wear on their head. It covers them like that.
0:07:33 > 0:07:35Isn't that stitched to the dress?
0:07:35 > 0:07:38No, bro. What, like a hoodie you pull over?!
0:07:40 > 0:07:43By the time the wedding comes round, I'll probably be bald and grey.
0:07:43 > 0:07:48- Anything you choose I know she's going to like.- Oh, you're so sweet.
0:07:48 > 0:07:51- When I grow up I want to be just like you. You're so sweet.- Shut up.
0:07:53 > 0:07:56The bros may have done some homework,
0:07:56 > 0:07:59but El Romantico is already feeling the weight of the stress.
0:07:59 > 0:08:01There's a lot of pressure planning this wedding.
0:08:01 > 0:08:05I can't get this wrong because Michelle's going to scrutinise this.
0:08:05 > 0:08:08She's going to see every little mistake I make.
0:08:08 > 0:08:09Meanwhile,
0:08:09 > 0:08:13Michelle and her bridesmaids enjoy a relaxing ladies luncheon.
0:08:13 > 0:08:17To a future wedding and hopefully it comes out good!
0:08:17 > 0:08:22But pressure's already building as Ralphy meets Gary at a dress shop.
0:08:22 > 0:08:23I'm lost already.
0:08:23 > 0:08:26When I first walked in I was overwhelmed.
0:08:26 > 0:08:29I saw just aisles and aisles of dresses
0:08:29 > 0:08:30and they all looked the same.
0:08:33 > 0:08:36- Does she want to be a princess? - Um...
0:08:39 > 0:08:40That I won't like.
0:08:40 > 0:08:43- With a tiara and a wand. - Oh, that's not me.
0:08:43 > 0:08:45I don't think I like, personally, like the big, you know.
0:08:45 > 0:08:47OK, well, it's your decision.
0:08:47 > 0:08:50Way to go, Ralphy, you clearly know your fiancee's style
0:08:50 > 0:08:53and are taking this challenge pretty seriously.
0:08:55 > 0:09:00All this is poofy style. This is poofy style with roses.
0:09:00 > 0:09:02I have a feeling he's going to forget shoes.
0:09:02 > 0:09:06Good thing is I have some ivory shoes, some nice ones.
0:09:06 > 0:09:09What if he chooses a white dress and you're going to wear ivory shoes?
0:09:09 > 0:09:12Hopefully it's long enough where they don't see them.
0:09:12 > 0:09:15I think the white style looks better than ivory.
0:09:15 > 0:09:18At least you got the style. It has to be white, right?
0:09:18 > 0:09:20Yeah, I got that down.
0:09:20 > 0:09:24Oh, Ralphy, your colour choice is not in step with Michelle's shoes.
0:09:24 > 0:09:27Where do you think you want to be comfortable in the bridal gown?
0:09:27 > 0:09:30I didn't think it was anything over a thousand bucks,
0:09:30 > 0:09:31but apparently they go up to...
0:09:31 > 0:09:34- In the magazine...- 7,000, 8,000.
0:09:34 > 0:09:38It's her dress. I don't want to be cheap about it, you know.
0:09:38 > 0:09:39Good boy!
0:09:43 > 0:09:47- This is mermaid-style. Why don't we try that one?- OK.
0:09:47 > 0:09:50- You going to try it on?- Yeah, it's going to bring my eyes out.
0:09:52 > 0:09:54How can girls do this all day, bro?
0:09:54 > 0:09:56This is what they fantasise all their lifetime.
0:09:56 > 0:10:01After seeing some dresses, Ralphy's stress level increases.
0:10:01 > 0:10:04It's tough, bro. I feel bad I get to go with my girl.
0:10:04 > 0:10:07She picks something she likes, man. You're here in the hot seat, bro.
0:10:07 > 0:10:09I got grey hair growing.
0:10:09 > 0:10:14Did you want to see a veil to any of these?
0:10:14 > 0:10:16What's a veil?
0:10:17 > 0:10:18- What's a veil?- Yeah.
0:10:19 > 0:10:22I'm going to end up doing my own hair and make-up.
0:10:22 > 0:10:25- I have a feeling. - There's one thing, though.
0:10:25 > 0:10:28- He won't forget the DJ and he won't forget the liquor.- Yeah.
0:10:28 > 0:10:30That's definitely going to be there.
0:10:30 > 0:10:34But the boys definitely don't have a dress yet.
0:10:34 > 0:10:37In front of the shop, the dress stress is getting to Ralphy.
0:10:37 > 0:10:41I'm so lost right now. I want to get this over with, but I want it to be right.
0:10:41 > 0:10:45Think about it like this. If you want a car, what you want in it?
0:10:45 > 0:10:48- I can tell you one, two, three. - Well, it's the same concept.
0:10:48 > 0:10:51What would you do? You research, right?
0:10:51 > 0:10:54- So that's what you got to go about it this way.- Right.
0:10:56 > 0:10:59Instead of continuing with wedding planning,
0:10:59 > 0:11:02Ralphy, the big kid, wastes time.
0:11:04 > 0:11:06By riding bikes with his buddy.
0:11:08 > 0:11:09I own a motorcycle.
0:11:09 > 0:11:12That's my baby. That's the thing I enjoy the most in life.
0:11:12 > 0:11:14When I want to get away from everything,
0:11:14 > 0:11:16I'll get on her and just go somewhere.
0:11:19 > 0:11:22Wedding planning might make you feel like a wimp, Ralphy,
0:11:22 > 0:11:26but popping a wheelie isn't going to help plan this wedding faster.
0:11:29 > 0:11:31The next day to get wedding wise
0:11:31 > 0:11:34Ralphy decides to hit the books.
0:11:34 > 0:11:36Oh, Martha Stewart. She doesn't go wrong.
0:11:38 > 0:11:40The bridesmaids' dresses,
0:11:40 > 0:11:42I didn't really know they were too much different
0:11:42 > 0:11:44than the actual bride's dress.
0:11:47 > 0:11:49I always get distracted with these things.
0:11:49 > 0:11:52I came here for bridal magazines and I'm looking at cars right now.
0:11:52 > 0:11:54- Getting married soon, man?- Yeah.
0:11:54 > 0:11:58I'm planning the thing so, from top to bottom.
0:11:59 > 0:12:02- My dad did that for my sister and he had a heart attack.- Did he?
0:12:02 > 0:12:04- That's a lot of stress. - That's inspiring.
0:12:04 > 0:12:07Newly inspired, Ralphy heads home
0:12:07 > 0:12:10to become a wedding expert.
0:12:10 > 0:12:12They all look the same.
0:12:12 > 0:12:14This one has flowers.
0:12:16 > 0:12:18Are you kidding me? 13 grand for a dress?!
0:12:18 > 0:12:21I'm probably going to get on eBay and look for a dress.
0:12:24 > 0:12:28I just, I don't know what the next step, I just, this isn't for me.
0:12:28 > 0:12:33With barely two weeks left and 25,000 burning a hole in his pocket
0:12:33 > 0:12:36Ralphy has yet to make a single wedding decision,
0:12:36 > 0:12:39so today he and his best man Gary
0:12:39 > 0:12:42are off to see their very first venue, The Grove.
0:12:42 > 0:12:45- Wow.- This space looks fancy.- Yeah.
0:12:45 > 0:12:47- How you doing?- Welcome to The Grove.
0:12:51 > 0:12:55Meanwhile, not willing to give up her own wedding dreams,
0:12:55 > 0:12:59Michelle, her mother Maria, the maid of honour, her sister Stephanie,
0:12:59 > 0:13:01visit the classically elegant Crystal Plaza.
0:13:01 > 0:13:05My idea of a dream wedding. I love elegance.
0:13:05 > 0:13:08Can picture like this big hall with beautiful chandeliers.
0:13:10 > 0:13:12- Please come in.- This is nice.- Wow.
0:13:12 > 0:13:15We have a colour-kinetic lighting system.
0:13:15 > 0:13:18You and your bride can decide what colour you would like it to be.
0:13:18 > 0:13:20I wish I had her here to help me decide.
0:13:24 > 0:13:28- Grand ballroom. - Wow. Look at those chandeliers.
0:13:28 > 0:13:31One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten,
0:13:31 > 0:13:3311, 12, 13, 14?
0:13:33 > 0:13:3714 chandeliers. I think I may be missing one.
0:13:37 > 0:13:40I'm hoping that Ralphy keys on the fact
0:13:40 > 0:13:43that I like very warm places.
0:13:43 > 0:13:46Hopefully he doesn't go anywhere crazy.
0:13:46 > 0:13:49- I can change these lights to play... - This is perfect right now, actually.
0:13:55 > 0:13:59Something very elegant as opposed to maybe something more modern.
0:13:59 > 0:14:03- It's really nicely done. - I like these doors. Look at this.
0:14:03 > 0:14:05The bathroom makes me want to party.
0:14:05 > 0:14:07I want to party in here right now, you know?
0:14:07 > 0:14:12We could set up a martini bar in the bathroom if you like.
0:14:12 > 0:14:13I'm all for it.
0:14:13 > 0:14:16Nothing says classy, romantic, dream wedding
0:14:16 > 0:14:19like a bar next to the urinals(!)
0:14:20 > 0:14:22This is nice. I like this. It's my style.
0:14:22 > 0:14:24Michelle's going to be disappointed
0:14:24 > 0:14:25when he comes up with something crazy.
0:14:25 > 0:14:28I like what I see to be honest with you.
0:14:28 > 0:14:32The main thing is the budget, cos I do have a budget to plan around.
0:14:32 > 0:14:35I could offer you a really nice menu
0:14:35 > 0:14:37around 109 per person,
0:14:37 > 0:14:40plus tax and service charge.
0:14:40 > 0:14:43I want just about 200 people at the wedding
0:14:43 > 0:14:46and I'm looking at over 26,000 at this point.
0:14:46 > 0:14:49My budget is 25,000 for everything.
0:14:49 > 0:14:52Ralphy loves the venue, but hates the price.
0:14:54 > 0:14:57The stress of wedding planning is beginning to take a toll
0:14:57 > 0:14:59on Ralphy's fragile frame.
0:14:59 > 0:15:04- My wrist is hurting.- What did you do? - I don't know, I really don't know.
0:15:04 > 0:15:06It's hurting and the AC is making it hurt more.
0:15:06 > 0:15:09This wedding's giving me arthritis, that's what it is.
0:15:09 > 0:15:12You haven't signed anything.
0:15:13 > 0:15:16No, no, no, no, the wedding is giving me arthritis.
0:15:16 > 0:15:17The magazines?
0:15:17 > 0:15:20My wrist, the magazine reading,
0:15:20 > 0:15:23the typing and the Guru searching is hurting my wrist.
0:15:23 > 0:15:28You need to man-up, Ralphy, and wedding plan through the pain.
0:15:28 > 0:15:33The next day, Ralph and Gary view their new number two.
0:15:33 > 0:15:36But Il Tulipano isn't looking so rosy.
0:15:36 > 0:15:39Right now, from the outside, it does not look good at all.
0:15:39 > 0:15:41I don't know if they're going to be ready.
0:15:41 > 0:15:44I don't know if they are going to have parking for the guests.
0:15:44 > 0:15:47Is there anything owner Greg can say to change their minds?
0:15:47 > 0:15:50We've a full bar, eight different beers, 12 vodkas.
0:15:50 > 0:15:53- Perfect.- In fact, there is.
0:15:54 > 0:15:58This mess here, this is all going to be done in the next few days.
0:15:58 > 0:16:00This is our ballroom.
0:16:00 > 0:16:04Full bar in the room so the bar downstairs would close.
0:16:04 > 0:16:06He's trying to sell us by showing us the bars.
0:16:06 > 0:16:09- We'd use this for the ceremony. - Awesome.- Shall we head downstairs?
0:16:09 > 0:16:13- I'll show you some menus. - This guy sold me with the bars.
0:16:13 > 0:16:16There's a bar in every frickin' room you go to.
0:16:16 > 0:16:17Valet parking is included.
0:16:17 > 0:16:21Open bar is included in whatever package. I'm done, I'm sold.
0:16:21 > 0:16:24Nothing will make Michelle feel more elegant than an open bar
0:16:24 > 0:16:25and free parking.
0:16:25 > 0:16:28- I have the 6th available.- You do?
0:16:28 > 0:16:30I will drop the price down to 80 per person.
0:16:30 > 0:16:35As far as the venue goes, I can't go over 15,000, altogether.
0:16:35 > 0:16:39What I can do is eliminate some things from the package,
0:16:39 > 0:16:41to try and bring it down.
0:16:41 > 0:16:43Five dollars here, two dollars there,
0:16:43 > 0:16:47we can look through it and work with you. Let's see what we can do.
0:16:47 > 0:16:48That's understandable.
0:16:48 > 0:16:49He worked on the price,
0:16:49 > 0:16:51but I think I can squeeze more out of him.
0:16:51 > 0:16:56Looks like this used-car salesman is walking away with no money down.
0:17:01 > 0:17:04The next day, the boys continue venue hunting.
0:17:04 > 0:17:08Ralphy retraces his steps to the place where he met Michelle,
0:17:08 > 0:17:09the Westmount.
0:17:11 > 0:17:14Inside, he meets co-owner, Tom Delgado,
0:17:14 > 0:17:16who gets right down to business.
0:17:16 > 0:17:20- You're going to get married?- Yeah. - Groom?- Yes, I am.
0:17:20 > 0:17:22- I just need to take a little information.- OK.
0:17:22 > 0:17:25Anna, give me a brochure, my card, menus.
0:17:25 > 0:17:29- I've used to valet park here many years ago when I was younger.- OK.
0:17:29 > 0:17:31Let me show you. Come right in.
0:17:31 > 0:17:33After the lukewarm homecoming,
0:17:33 > 0:17:36Tom begins the world's fastest wedding venue tour.
0:17:36 > 0:17:38OK, this is the Continental Lounge.
0:17:38 > 0:17:41All the white leather furniture, very chic, very trendy.
0:17:41 > 0:17:45Frosted glass, beautiful polka dot martini glasses.
0:17:45 > 0:17:47We do ceremonies out here which can be beautiful.
0:17:47 > 0:17:49Marry in the gazebo, weather permitting.
0:17:49 > 0:17:52If the weather doesn't permit, we're going to do the ceremony right here.
0:17:52 > 0:17:56- Take a look at the view, all right? - Looks nice.
0:17:56 > 0:17:58It's a one of a kind, this bar.
0:17:58 > 0:18:01All the furniture is one of a kind. Everything is custom.
0:18:01 > 0:18:07- Chic, trendy, hot. Let me get the book and check the date.- OK.
0:18:08 > 0:18:13- He's fast.- Upon leaving warp speed, Tom puts Ralphy in his hotseat.
0:18:13 > 0:18:14Let's say I was thinking Thursday night,
0:18:14 > 0:18:18I assume it's cheaper than a Friday or Saturday.
0:18:18 > 0:18:20Thursday night, I would do something for like 200 bucks a person.
0:18:22 > 0:18:26- Wow, really? - I do have a cancellation here.
0:18:26 > 0:18:29I do love the place, it looks amazing.
0:18:29 > 0:18:32I guess I have to pass on this one, to be honest with you.
0:18:32 > 0:18:38Smart thinking. Ralphy, 200 guests at 200 will cost you 40 grand.
0:18:38 > 0:18:40The whole budget is only 25 grand.
0:18:40 > 0:18:43I've got to go home and run these numbers.
0:18:43 > 0:18:46Awesome, thank you for your help. It was a pleasure.
0:18:46 > 0:18:48A pleasure meeting you too, guys.
0:18:48 > 0:18:50And after all these years,
0:18:50 > 0:18:52there's not even a valet to bring Ralph his car.
0:18:52 > 0:18:56- Let's get going.- Let's get going. - See what's out there.
0:18:56 > 0:19:00Let's go home, crunch some numbers, real simple stuff. No more venues.
0:19:00 > 0:19:01No more.
0:19:03 > 0:19:07- Eat a banana.- No! - How about an orange?
0:19:07 > 0:19:10Away from home at her mother's house with baby Isabella
0:19:10 > 0:19:12Michelle frets over feeding Ralphy.
0:19:12 > 0:19:16I know he does depend on me a lot for cooking and eating at all times,
0:19:16 > 0:19:20so he's probably, at all times, walking round the house saying,
0:19:20 > 0:19:23"I'm hungry," or something.
0:19:23 > 0:19:25You're over-reacting, Michelle.
0:19:25 > 0:19:28Ralphy is a grown man who can take care of himself.
0:19:28 > 0:19:30- Hey, Mom, it's me. - I'm totally kidding.
0:19:30 > 0:19:34I just want to know if you can come over and make me some food today
0:19:34 > 0:19:35because I'm really hungry.
0:19:35 > 0:19:38I'm just eating canned food and stuff like that.
0:19:38 > 0:19:40With food on the way, Ralphy focuses
0:19:40 > 0:19:42on cutting down the guest list.
0:19:42 > 0:19:47I've been crunching some numbers. As of right now, I'm over 240, 245.
0:19:47 > 0:19:50I'm going to have to cut back a lot of people.
0:19:50 > 0:19:51Honestly, my biggest fear
0:19:51 > 0:19:54is that people aren't going to be invited.
0:19:54 > 0:19:58Help! Hi, how are you?
0:19:58 > 0:20:02Nothing like mom's home cooking to relieve some stress.
0:20:04 > 0:20:06I'm dying here. I don't have anything to eat.
0:20:06 > 0:20:10I don't see you skinny. You put some oil in the pot?
0:20:11 > 0:20:14Not a lot, because we're going to use some.
0:20:14 > 0:20:15Now, you know what I want?
0:20:15 > 0:20:17- Cilantro?- Yeah.
0:20:22 > 0:20:25- This is the one I make. - I thought that was it.- Smell it!
0:20:25 > 0:20:29- Nah!- You see? Mommy's is the one.
0:20:37 > 0:20:42- Look what I've been looking at. You see that one?- Nice.
0:20:42 > 0:20:45I don't know what she likes, but this is my style.
0:20:46 > 0:20:50- You have to keep in mind her body shape.- Would you be happy with that?
0:20:50 > 0:20:53If I had Michelle's shape, yes.
0:20:53 > 0:20:55But right now...
0:20:55 > 0:20:56No, of course not.
0:20:56 > 0:20:58Ralphy's getting very stressed out.
0:20:58 > 0:21:02I think he's afraid to choose the wrong dress for Michelle.
0:21:02 > 0:21:04He told me already,
0:21:04 > 0:21:06"I'm ready to throw the towel."
0:21:06 > 0:21:07I said, "No, wait!"
0:21:07 > 0:21:12I feel the stress every night. I sleep for two hours and I wake up.
0:21:12 > 0:21:15Every hour and a half, two hours, I'm waking up.
0:21:15 > 0:21:16I have wedding overload right now.
0:21:16 > 0:21:18I don't want to think about it anymore.
0:21:18 > 0:21:23But Mama can't plan the wedding. Time to man-up, Ralphy.
0:21:23 > 0:21:25I think I'm getting an ulcer because of this.
0:21:27 > 0:21:3213 days until the wedding, Ralphy wakes at the crack of dawn
0:21:32 > 0:21:35in order to learn Michelle's dress size.
0:21:35 > 0:21:37Sherlock Ralphy investigates.
0:21:37 > 0:21:42Small, medium, what's 3/4?
0:21:42 > 0:21:46This is a size blank. This is nuts.
0:21:46 > 0:21:48I think if she's not happy with the dress,
0:21:48 > 0:21:51she won't even walk down the aisle.
0:21:51 > 0:21:54With the dress, you have the veal.
0:21:54 > 0:21:56What did you call it?
0:21:56 > 0:21:59The veal.
0:21:59 > 0:22:01Then you have the front side of that.
0:22:01 > 0:22:04Nothing is quick and easy. Everything has eight steps to it.
0:22:04 > 0:22:08I don't get it. I just don't get it.
0:22:08 > 0:22:09Whatever.
0:22:09 > 0:22:12I hate wedding planning.
0:22:12 > 0:22:14This is the hardest thing I've ever had to do.
0:22:14 > 0:22:16I really hate it.
0:22:16 > 0:22:20I want it to be over and I don't ever want to think about wedding things
0:22:20 > 0:22:21ever again in my life.
0:22:21 > 0:22:25The boys are back spinning their wheels.
0:22:25 > 0:22:28No venue locked, so no wedding invitations,
0:22:28 > 0:22:31no flowers, no cake, no thought of a mariachi band
0:22:31 > 0:22:33and most importantly, no dress for the bride.
0:22:37 > 0:22:42I've never had anything of this magnitude to plan or to do,
0:22:42 > 0:22:44so, I have to get it right, I have to make sure she's happy.
0:22:44 > 0:22:49- Hey, how are you?- Hello, I'm Renae. - We're shopping for wedding dresses.
0:22:49 > 0:22:50OK. For yourselves?
0:22:50 > 0:22:56I think the style that I'm more or less like, is tight to the body.
0:22:56 > 0:22:59I think it's called mermaid or something like that.
0:22:59 > 0:23:03- They do the heart.- Sweetheart neck?
0:23:03 > 0:23:04Yes, that. Sorry.
0:23:06 > 0:23:11Are you comfortable around the thousand dollar, 1,200 range?
0:23:11 > 0:23:14Nothing too low-end, but nothing too high-end.
0:23:14 > 0:23:18Meanwhile, Michelle fears she's missing all the fun.
0:23:18 > 0:23:21She and her bridesmaids are looking for a dress in the city.
0:23:21 > 0:23:25My dream dress is something very feminine.
0:23:25 > 0:23:27I like the mermaid silhouette
0:23:27 > 0:23:29which is very tapered all the way up to the hips
0:23:29 > 0:23:33and it flares out usually at the knees or the ankles.
0:23:33 > 0:23:37Something over the top or princessy with a big ballroom gown
0:23:37 > 0:23:39would definitely scare me.
0:23:39 > 0:23:43I look like an idiot, I'm going to feel like an idiot the whole day.
0:23:43 > 0:23:44I would be really upset.
0:23:44 > 0:23:46How about that one? Too fluffy.
0:23:46 > 0:23:49I'm looking more tapered all the way.
0:23:49 > 0:23:51This is stunning, this with the belt.
0:23:51 > 0:23:54I would feel like a marshmallow in it. Not crazy about it.
0:23:54 > 0:23:58- Nothing with this?- No. - This is something with lace.
0:23:58 > 0:24:03- That's too simple. - It's a trumpeted look.- No.
0:24:03 > 0:24:05I'm not a bird.
0:24:05 > 0:24:08Oh, oh! If Michelle can't find her dream dress,
0:24:08 > 0:24:10what chance does Ralphy have?
0:24:10 > 0:24:12I will try that one.
0:24:12 > 0:24:15This is the hardest thing I've ever had to do.
0:24:15 > 0:24:17She's seen a lot of dresses?
0:24:17 > 0:24:19She's been dreaming about this forever.
0:24:19 > 0:24:22This is her dream that I can't screw up.
0:24:22 > 0:24:25The fabric embellishments, this is very hot now.
0:24:26 > 0:24:32- I like the more plain look. They look like roses.- That's what they are.
0:24:32 > 0:24:34That's exactly what they are.
0:24:34 > 0:24:37- This thing's driving me nuts. - The dress is the wedding,
0:24:37 > 0:24:40the dress is the wedding, the dress is the wedding.
0:24:44 > 0:24:47I want something that's going to wow me, right away when I see it.
0:24:47 > 0:24:50I don't want too safe either.
0:24:50 > 0:24:54- I want something different. - Try that one?
0:24:54 > 0:24:58Yes, that one looks pretty cool.
0:24:58 > 0:25:02- Here it comes.- I like this dress.
0:25:03 > 0:25:07It's just the perfect touch of elegance with beading, just simple.
0:25:07 > 0:25:11But the ruching just made it fit and it felt beautiful.
0:25:11 > 0:25:16Good job on the dress, Michelle. You just made it really hard on Ralphy.
0:25:18 > 0:25:20Ralphy and Gary are off to dress shop number three.
0:25:20 > 0:25:23This is the worst thing I have ever had to do in my life.
0:25:23 > 0:25:25And then I am getting picky about it too, because I can just...
0:25:25 > 0:25:28Dude, I noticed that you're, like, getting into it!
0:25:28 > 0:25:31I'm like, "Oh, I don't like the double thing."
0:25:31 > 0:25:34And, "I don't like the bling on the side."
0:25:34 > 0:25:36"Is there something tighter to the body?"
0:25:38 > 0:25:41"Because I'm going to take pictures with her
0:25:41 > 0:25:44"and she has to look so..."
0:25:47 > 0:25:50Ralphy, seems like you're enjoying this a bit too much.
0:25:51 > 0:25:53- Hello.- Hi.- How are you? - Good, how are you?
0:25:56 > 0:25:57Here you go. OK, this is number one.
0:25:57 > 0:25:59It's pretty, right?
0:25:59 > 0:26:00It's very elegant.
0:26:03 > 0:26:06- Number two.- That one's nice, too. - Yeah.- Beautiful, right?
0:26:10 > 0:26:12Damn it.
0:26:12 > 0:26:15Can you turn around? Wait till you see here. Look at the front.
0:26:15 > 0:26:16It's beautiful, right?
0:26:16 > 0:26:19Yeah. It's about 3,000.
0:26:24 > 0:26:27I think I'm close to making a decision.
0:26:27 > 0:26:29Just, I would like to have, um, some lunch.
0:26:29 > 0:26:31Better order from the dollar menu, Ralphy...
0:26:31 > 0:26:34..and kinda dwell it over.
0:26:34 > 0:26:37..cos you need to budget wisely to afford THIS costly gown.
0:26:40 > 0:26:44Il Tulipano, which was under construction,
0:26:44 > 0:26:46was the only venue available on a Saturday.
0:26:46 > 0:26:48But that was several days ago.
0:26:48 > 0:26:50Hey, Greg?
0:26:50 > 0:26:52Luckily, Saturday is wide open.
0:26:52 > 0:26:55But El Romantico still isn't sold.
0:26:55 > 0:26:58All right, Greg, honestly, and, you know,
0:26:58 > 0:27:00not to bust your balls too much, I think,
0:27:00 > 0:27:03you know, since the kids are eating chicken fingers
0:27:03 > 0:27:04and French fries, stuff like that,
0:27:04 > 0:27:08uh, would it be possible to, maybe, you know, give me half price on them?
0:27:08 > 0:27:10'Absolutely.'
0:27:10 > 0:27:14First decision down. Ralphy locks in a venue at 15,400.
0:27:14 > 0:27:17That's 400 more than he wanted to pay.
0:27:20 > 0:27:21I really appreciate it.
0:27:21 > 0:27:24- 'Thank you.'- Take care. - 'Best of luck.'- Thank you.
0:27:24 > 0:27:25Boo yow.
0:27:25 > 0:27:30Ralphy celebrates his venue victory with some serious athletic competition.
0:27:35 > 0:27:39Beer pong - a contest of skill, determination and liver function.
0:27:43 > 0:27:45Nice shot, Ralphy.
0:27:45 > 0:27:47Whoosh!
0:27:47 > 0:27:50- Who took my beer? I just opened another one.- I thought you drank it.
0:27:50 > 0:27:52Um, I'm getting a little worried.
0:27:52 > 0:27:57Ralphy is getting things done, hopefully. I'm just anxious.
0:27:57 > 0:27:59I just want it to happen already.
0:27:59 > 0:28:01I miss him, I want to be home,
0:28:01 > 0:28:02I want to be married.
0:28:02 > 0:28:05I just want to see the end result.
0:28:06 > 0:28:10It's a tight match. It all comes down to the final shot.
0:28:13 > 0:28:14Ohhh!
0:28:17 > 0:28:21In the end, no-one will remember the score,
0:28:21 > 0:28:23but they will remember the hangover.
0:28:23 > 0:28:26And hopefully Ralphy will remember he has a wedding to plan!
0:28:30 > 0:28:3312 days before the wedding, Ralphy, the doting dad,
0:28:33 > 0:28:36spends some time with his baby, Isabella.
0:28:36 > 0:28:38Who's that?
0:28:38 > 0:28:39I've seen her maybe twice.
0:28:39 > 0:28:44You go from seeing Bella every day to, you know, once a week.
0:28:44 > 0:28:45You know, it's tough.
0:28:45 > 0:28:46It's cold.
0:28:49 > 0:28:51- Cold.- Yeah it's cold.
0:28:58 > 0:28:59I need my family.
0:28:59 > 0:29:01It's fun having them around, you know?
0:29:01 > 0:29:02Yo, Papa!
0:29:04 > 0:29:08After the visit, Ralphy and his soon-to-be brother-in-law Danny
0:29:08 > 0:29:10go to buy a little dress for little Isabella.
0:29:14 > 0:29:16- Are you looking for any specific colour?- Maybe a white dress.
0:29:16 > 0:29:20- White. Is the bride going to be in white?- Yes.- OK.
0:29:20 > 0:29:22- That looks like it fits her, huh? - That's kind of nice.
0:29:22 > 0:29:25She's going to match her mom. OK, hold this one.
0:29:25 > 0:29:28- Yeah. Do you have any other styles or...?- Um, I have this one
0:29:28 > 0:29:30- but, again, it's ivory.- Right.
0:29:30 > 0:29:32- And it has flowers at the bottom. - That's nice too.
0:29:32 > 0:29:35This is pretty nice. I think we're going to go with this one.
0:29:37 > 0:29:42Nice job, Ralphy. Isabella will look so sweet in that dress.
0:29:42 > 0:29:47With 11 days until saying I do, Ralph is now ready
0:29:47 > 0:29:49to purchase Michelle's wedding gown.
0:29:49 > 0:29:51I really like the dress, I want to see her in it.
0:29:51 > 0:29:54We're ready to lock it down so long as the number's right.
0:29:54 > 0:29:57Which I think is going to be not so easy.
0:29:57 > 0:30:00If you want to get somebody else to try it on, it's fine with me.
0:30:00 > 0:30:03Maybe Gary, would you, er...?
0:30:03 > 0:30:06- Come on, Gary.- Who me?
0:30:06 > 0:30:08This is too much.
0:30:08 > 0:30:10We can have options for her.
0:30:10 > 0:30:15She can walk down the aisle without a belt and then, at the reception,
0:30:15 > 0:30:16she can add the belt to it.
0:30:16 > 0:30:21- With the belt... You think that's too expensive?- No.
0:30:22 > 0:30:25You wanted something simple, elegant,
0:30:25 > 0:30:27you wanted a little bit of bling on it
0:30:27 > 0:30:30and I think it has everything that you asked for.
0:30:30 > 0:30:33The original price on the dress is 3,755.
0:30:38 > 0:30:41- OK? - That's...that's WAY over the budget.
0:30:41 > 0:30:44OK, the owners are willing to do 20% off the dress
0:30:44 > 0:30:47and to add the alterations into that price.
0:30:47 > 0:30:50At this point, just to even consider that amount,
0:30:50 > 0:30:53I'm going to have to cancel my bachelor party.
0:30:55 > 0:30:57Now, that's true love, sacrifice.
0:30:57 > 0:31:00- All right, let me see what I can do. - Yeah, please. Thank you very much.
0:31:00 > 0:31:02On second thought...
0:31:02 > 0:31:04I'm not sacrificing my bachelor party.
0:31:04 > 0:31:08I've sacrificed three weeks of everything for this.
0:31:08 > 0:31:11- Here we go.- I'm scared.
0:31:11 > 0:31:13I've worked out the numbers.
0:31:14 > 0:31:17I'm going to give you 25% off the dress. Which is huge.
0:31:17 > 0:31:20You're going to get it for 2,816.
0:31:20 > 0:31:25- You're also getting your alterations thrown in and a free veil.- Awesome.
0:31:25 > 0:31:28- That's awesome. - That is awesome.- That works.
0:31:28 > 0:31:31The price is right, but something else is very wrong.
0:31:31 > 0:31:34This is a large size. It sounds like she's a 0.
0:31:34 > 0:31:37We're going to have to take this dress from a size 8 down to a 0.
0:31:37 > 0:31:40- Right.- Which means, she has to really reconstruct the gown.- OK.
0:31:40 > 0:31:44It's going to take them two full weeks to do the alterations. OK?
0:31:44 > 0:31:47It's a lot of work, it's a lot of work.
0:31:47 > 0:31:52With just 11 days until the wedding, will the dress be altered in time?
0:31:52 > 0:31:54No dress, no wedding.
0:31:56 > 0:31:58It's nine days until the wedding.
0:31:58 > 0:32:01Ralphy faces his biggest challenge yet.
0:32:03 > 0:32:04The bridesmaids.
0:32:04 > 0:32:08Ralphy takes charge of shopping for the bridesmaids' dresses.
0:32:08 > 0:32:11Remember, I'm in charge and I make the decisions.
0:32:11 > 0:32:13But that doesn't last long.
0:32:13 > 0:32:15- How tight is this dress?- No, no.
0:32:15 > 0:32:20I don't want to spend more than about 100, 120 per dress.
0:32:20 > 0:32:22Hopefully, I can get the bridesmaids
0:32:22 > 0:32:25to pay maybe half of it, maybe the whole thing. Let's see what happens.
0:32:25 > 0:32:29I just don't like the mermaid and everything is mermaid!
0:32:29 > 0:32:30That's the style, sister.
0:32:30 > 0:32:34I don't like anything that was there, nothing.
0:32:38 > 0:32:40I'm dress shopping right now. Are you kidding me?!
0:32:42 > 0:32:44Why aren't you trying anything on?
0:32:44 > 0:32:47Whatever they choose, I'll wear, that's it.
0:32:49 > 0:32:54Ralphy still hasn't told the bridesmaids he's only paying for part of their dresses.
0:32:54 > 0:32:59- What was the price of that?- 139.99? That's good.- Yeah, I know.
0:32:59 > 0:33:01It's good because you guys are covering...
0:33:01 > 0:33:04- Oh, really?- Yeah.- That's funny.
0:33:04 > 0:33:08Ralphy's sister, Suehaily, has two daughters who also need dresses.
0:33:08 > 0:33:11OK, so, I'll tell Michelle there's no photographer
0:33:11 > 0:33:15- because I think bridesmaids' dresses was more important.- All right!
0:33:15 > 0:33:17I'm going to have to make the executive decision
0:33:17 > 0:33:20and just pick out a dress and they'll have to wear it, plain and simple.
0:33:20 > 0:33:24Ralphy, the decider.
0:33:24 > 0:33:27- How much are these dresses? - They're 150.
0:33:27 > 0:33:30What? You're getting a hundred bucks from me, that's it.
0:33:30 > 0:33:34- I have to spend 300 on two little dresses they'll only wear once! - Don't threaten me.
0:33:34 > 0:33:39- I'm not listening you.- Are you really coming to this wedding because I don't need you there.- I won't go!
0:33:39 > 0:33:42Good. Perfect. One less dress.
0:33:42 > 0:33:44It's not going well for Ralphy -
0:33:44 > 0:33:47his bride's dress may not be ready for the big day
0:33:47 > 0:33:50and his sister may not even come to the wedding.
0:33:50 > 0:33:53- Are you coming to this wedding? I don't need you there.- I won't go.
0:33:53 > 0:33:57Ralphy's attempt to save money on the bridesmaids' dresses didn't go over so well.
0:33:57 > 0:34:02So he calls the venue with a smaller guest list due to those who have RSVP'd no.
0:34:02 > 0:34:05Hopefully, I can get some money back from Il Tulipano.
0:34:05 > 0:34:08That's the only way I'll be able to finish this. If not, I'm done.
0:34:09 > 0:34:12Il Tulipano comes through, so Ralphy can afford to buy
0:34:12 > 0:34:15the bridesmaids' dresses in full.
0:34:17 > 0:34:19It's seven days before the big day.
0:34:19 > 0:34:22With the bridesmaids' dresses behind him,
0:34:22 > 0:34:25Ralphy handles the rest of the wedding essentials. Like the cake.
0:34:25 > 0:34:30We've round, square, sphere. We have all different kind of shapes.
0:34:30 > 0:34:33Wow, I never knew there were so many options.
0:34:34 > 0:34:37We should do this five-tier, classic lines.
0:34:37 > 0:34:40So long as everything works pricewise for me.
0:34:41 > 0:34:45- Your cake will look like that. - That looks awesome.
0:34:45 > 0:34:48- I think we're good to go. Yeah, I'm happy.- Excellent.
0:34:48 > 0:34:50Piece of cake.
0:34:50 > 0:34:53But El Romantico has no flower power.
0:34:53 > 0:34:55I usually stick to edible arrangements.
0:34:55 > 0:34:59- Probably not going to be a centrepiece of a...- No, no.
0:34:59 > 0:35:00Is there anything you know,
0:35:00 > 0:35:03she doesn't like a certain flower or she does like a certain flower?
0:35:03 > 0:35:07Her favourite flower is actually a calla lily.
0:35:07 > 0:35:09So we could do white mini calla lilies for her.
0:35:09 > 0:35:14Setting um up, and knocking them down. Next stop, tuxedos.
0:35:14 > 0:35:17This is my style, the way I like to dress,
0:35:17 > 0:35:19I think I'm going to get out of here with a tux.
0:35:19 > 0:35:21This is a big relief.
0:35:21 > 0:35:25Ralphy pays for tuxedos for himself and his groomsmen.
0:35:25 > 0:35:27Suddenly it's all coming together.
0:35:27 > 0:35:30- Awesome. Thank you very much. - Thank you very much.
0:35:30 > 0:35:32Five days before the wedding,
0:35:32 > 0:35:33Ralphy gets a surprise phone call
0:35:33 > 0:35:37from his sister Edie regarding Michelle's bachelorette party.
0:35:37 > 0:35:39I doubt there will be a bachelorette party,
0:35:39 > 0:35:41I don't think he'll remember.
0:35:46 > 0:35:50No. I'm not planning anything. No.
0:35:52 > 0:35:55Since Ralphy isn't planning a party, the girls rally together
0:35:55 > 0:35:58for Michelle just three days before the wedding.
0:35:58 > 0:35:59We took it upon ourselves
0:35:59 > 0:36:02and we're going to have a bachelorette party for Michelle.
0:36:02 > 0:36:03Surprise!
0:36:08 > 0:36:11THEY TOAST IN SPANISH
0:36:13 > 0:36:15To a good night, Ralphy, enjoy.
0:36:15 > 0:36:19Tonight is the bachelor party and I feel great. I got a good deal.
0:36:19 > 0:36:21What am I going to do, turn down a good deal on a party bus?
0:36:21 > 0:36:23The guys are coming over.
0:36:23 > 0:36:25We'll probably bar hop around here.
0:36:25 > 0:36:27That's the only reason why he wanted to get married,
0:36:27 > 0:36:29was to have a bachelor party.
0:36:29 > 0:36:30Are you kidding me?
0:36:30 > 0:36:33He'll probably go to Atlantic City or he'll go to a strip club or something.
0:36:33 > 0:36:36Ralphy and his friends keep the bachelor party classy.
0:36:36 > 0:36:38I got to take my shirt off.
0:36:38 > 0:36:40Save it for the honeymoon.
0:36:49 > 0:36:53Meanwhile, the air conditioning at the bachelorette party is broken,
0:36:53 > 0:36:55so Ralphy sent over a handy man.
0:36:55 > 0:36:57I'm sorry, it's pretty hot in here, isn't it?
0:36:57 > 0:36:59Well, yeah, I've been waiting forever.
0:36:59 > 0:37:05Well, it's going to get a little hotter now, ladies.
0:37:05 > 0:37:09Ralphy didn't forget Michelle, meet Husky Love.
0:37:09 > 0:37:11Oh, my God.
0:37:11 > 0:37:12THEY ALL SCREAM
0:37:12 > 0:37:14Get away from me!
0:37:17 > 0:37:19Oh, my God!
0:37:27 > 0:37:29Go Husky, go Husky, go Husky!
0:37:33 > 0:37:35They don't call him Husky for nothing.
0:37:35 > 0:37:40I really don't like anything raunchy. Definitely no strippers, that's not me.
0:37:40 > 0:37:44He said he would send you a gift and that was his gift.
0:37:44 > 0:37:46- Ralphy says he loves you.- Yeah.
0:37:46 > 0:37:48Ralphy says, "He loves you," Michelle,
0:37:48 > 0:37:52- is there anything you want to tell him?- I hate you.
0:37:52 > 0:37:56While Michelle wants Ralphy's head on a plate, Husky is filling his...
0:37:56 > 0:37:58to go.
0:37:58 > 0:37:59Be good, you all be good.
0:37:59 > 0:38:02He's wasting our money on friggin' stupid crap.
0:38:02 > 0:38:05The girls finish off their night with a little bit of dancing,
0:38:05 > 0:38:07and so do the guys.
0:38:08 > 0:38:10Yeah, you gotta find a stripper named...
0:38:10 > 0:38:16Upon hour four of drinking, Ralphy's night is becoming a blur.
0:38:16 > 0:38:20You thought planning the wedding was a headache, just wait until tomorrow morning, Ralphy.
0:38:26 > 0:38:3148 hours before the wedding and no time for additional alterations,
0:38:31 > 0:38:34Michelle finally sees her dress for the first time.
0:38:34 > 0:38:36I'm feeling really anxious.
0:38:36 > 0:38:38I just want to get it on and get it over with
0:38:38 > 0:38:40and want Saturday to come already.
0:38:41 > 0:38:43I'm done with everything.
0:38:43 > 0:38:45- Right in here? - You're going to come in here.
0:38:45 > 0:38:49We're scared about what Ralphy's going to choose.
0:38:49 > 0:38:51C'mon, Michelle.
0:38:51 > 0:38:54I'm so scared. I'm just watching the door.
0:38:54 > 0:38:57Will Ralphy's gown erase the memory of Husky Love
0:38:57 > 0:38:59or leave him alone at the altar?
0:38:59 > 0:39:03The dress is probably an 11 on the scale from one to ten.
0:39:03 > 0:39:04It's important.
0:39:04 > 0:39:07If I don't feel comfortable in what I'm wearing, I won't go out.
0:39:07 > 0:39:08I won't look like a fool.
0:39:10 > 0:39:15Wow, Michelle, does he have good taste?
0:39:15 > 0:39:18- Wow.- You can marry him now.
0:39:18 > 0:39:21Ralphy, way to impress with the dress!
0:39:21 > 0:39:22Wow.
0:39:22 > 0:39:25- Michelle. - I know, it's cute.
0:39:25 > 0:39:28He did a great job.
0:39:28 > 0:39:32They altered the dress in only nine days instead of two weeks.
0:39:32 > 0:39:36He really just wanted to keep it simple and elegant.
0:39:36 > 0:39:38Ralphy, I'm so happy you didn't get me
0:39:38 > 0:39:42a huge, ridiculous big ball gown that wouldn't have been me.
0:39:42 > 0:39:44So, yeah, you made me happy today.
0:39:44 > 0:39:46Now we can trust him in the rest, right?
0:39:46 > 0:39:49We're like, "Phew," we feel a lot better.
0:39:49 > 0:39:51If he did a good job for choosing the dress
0:39:51 > 0:39:53then he's doing a good job on the rest.
0:39:53 > 0:39:56We're happy. You can take my daughter to be your wife.
0:40:02 > 0:40:03The day before the wedding,
0:40:03 > 0:40:06Gary tries to convince Ralphy to make a romantic gesture
0:40:06 > 0:40:10for Michelle - get the mariachi band she's been dreaming of.
0:40:10 > 0:40:12- I know the budget's tight... - There's no budget.
0:40:12 > 0:40:14You need to get the mariachi band.
0:40:14 > 0:40:16- I can't afford anything. - You want to wow her.
0:40:16 > 0:40:20- I'm not a "wow" type of guy. - That's why you got me.
0:40:20 > 0:40:23I don't need to think about something special.
0:40:23 > 0:40:25I need to think about the finish line.
0:40:25 > 0:40:28It doesn't have to be mariachi, all right? It doesn't have to be.
0:40:28 > 0:40:30- What will we have? A comedian? - You want to wow her.
0:40:30 > 0:40:33- I just wanted to run it by you. - We'll think about it.
0:40:33 > 0:40:37I can't be romantic. She'd like a mariachi. I don't like it.
0:40:37 > 0:40:38Put a smile on, buddy.
0:40:38 > 0:40:41Well, there won't be a mariachi band for Michelle.
0:40:41 > 0:40:43With the wedding less than a day away,
0:40:43 > 0:40:46what could Ralphy possible come up with?
0:40:47 > 0:40:49Today is the big day.
0:40:49 > 0:40:53El Romantico not only gives up the house so the girls can get dressed,
0:40:53 > 0:40:57he revs up the romance and puts his passion on paper.
0:40:57 > 0:41:00Awww... How cute.
0:41:00 > 0:41:04"Hey, babe, it's your lover boy. Hang tight for the journey.
0:41:04 > 0:41:08"It's been a long, tough ride for me, but I know it's all worth it
0:41:08 > 0:41:11"and you deserve everything that you are about to experience.
0:41:11 > 0:41:13"I can't wait to see your smile on your face.
0:41:13 > 0:41:15"See you later, Mrs Payano."
0:41:15 > 0:41:17ALL LAUGH
0:41:20 > 0:41:21With the wedding just hours away,
0:41:21 > 0:41:23the girls have to get ready in a hurry.
0:41:25 > 0:41:27We're all out of extension cords.
0:41:34 > 0:41:36I wish Ralphy would have gotten a salon.
0:41:41 > 0:41:45There's little kids running around, there's blow dryers, it's hot.
0:41:45 > 0:41:46Now I'm just getting nervous.
0:41:47 > 0:41:48Meanwhile...
0:41:52 > 0:41:55They gave the house to the girls, so they can get ready,
0:41:55 > 0:41:58which is kind of my mistake, I guess, at this point, because I'm bored.
0:42:00 > 0:42:04- You're getting married in three hours and we're hanging out. - Parking lot pimping.
0:42:06 > 0:42:09While Ralphy's parking lot pimping is easy,
0:42:09 > 0:42:11Michelle is ready to blow a fuse..
