Until I was in a coma for six years,
and then I woke up
and found my fiancée married to another man.
And they're raising my son.
Everything has changed,
including me.
One touch, and I can see things.
Things that happened, things that will happen.
You should see what I see.
We are gathered together here in the sight of God
and in the face of this company
to join together this man and this woman in holy matrimony.
Into this holy estate, these two persons present come now to be joined.
BRIANNA: Three.
-I beg your pardon? -Three persons.
Three persons.
Of course. Forgive me, young lady.
Into this holy estate,
these three persons come now to be joined.
If anyone can show just cause
why they may not lawfully be joined together,
let him speak now or forever hold his peace.
I object.
Johnny, what...
Well, we're so glad you could come to the rehearsal dinner.
I know Sarah was disappointed that Walt had to work this weekend,
and it's great that you could fill in as her escort.
No, I love weddings.
Excuse me, Alec. Somebody I'd like you to meet.
Anyway, we're glad that you could be pad of the big event.
Oh, yeah. Yeah. Me, too. I wouldn't want to miss it.
I don't know, but I was pretty vehement about it.
-That's crazy. -Tell me about it.
Look, the bride's your friend, right?
Is there any reason why she shouldn't marry this guy tomorrow?
No, Alec is great. They're perfect for each other.
All right.
Oh, poor Maria.
She's had a really hard time the last few years.
Everyone was so happy when she and Alec fell in love.
Most of us in this room are very aware
of the struggles and challenges that have led to this momentous occasion.
Maria and I went to med school together,
where I also had the privilege of knowing Alec and Maria's dear friend,
Bryan Hampton, who truly is the one
that brought these two very special people together.
Bryan is very much missed, but he's here in spirit,
probably looking down and laughing
at some fool trying to make an appropriate toast.
So, Alec, Brianna,
you could not have picked a more perfect woman to complete your family.
To not just the perfect couple, but to the perfect threesome.
MAN: Hear, hear! WOMAN: Cheers!
Johnny, you're talking about breaking up a family.
Hey, I don't like it any more than you do.
Maybe you could find out more about what's going on.
Or maybe I could just go home and forget about all this.
I'm technically just a stand-in here, right?
I'm not even supposed to be here.
Look, the ceremony isn't until tomorrow.
If you had some more information,
maybe you could change whatever it is that made you object in the first place.
-These damn visions, man. -Johnny, please.
She's my friend. I want her to be happy.
The answer is out there,
so just go forth and touch people.
You know?
-Mingle. -Mingle.
Mingle.
Did you know that 15% of married couples met at a wedding?
Did you know that 50% of marriages end in divorce?
Mr Romantic.
I wonder if Johnny Smith's going to object at this wedding, too.
Hey, hey, hey.
I just saw the woman that you're gonna marry.
What? Where?
-At your wedding. -Get out!
(CLEARS THROAT)
What's her name? What's her personality like?
What does she look like?
-Come on, man, tell me. -I couldn't see her face.
You know I have zero control over how these things work.
That is the sorriest-ass vision you ever had.
Hey, I must be stuck on the romance channel at the moment.
-Give me a break. -Now I got to hit on every girl
that comes across my path till I find the one that it is.
-What if I don't like her? -Then don't marry her.
Although that is a fact that many married couples simply overlook.
I gotta get busy.
-Is she here? -I don't know. She could be.
Okay, look. Check this out.
Why don't you touch all the girls at the wedding pally?
That way, if she's here, you can find her.
People think I'm weird enough
without adding molestation to my rap sheet, okay?
And I'm here with a married woman. Remember that pad?
Is that my wife?
Come on, man, this is important.
Where do you think you're going? You promised to Macarena with me.
You know, it was just a little hot in there.
I just need a second to cool off.
No disrespect, man. She said she was a widow!
Damn.
-You like your face the way it is? -Yeah.
-She's definitely not the one. -Damn!
Your stupid freaking visions.
Hi.
Brianna, right?
Don't you like parties?
Can I tell you a secret? Grown-ups are really boring.
So, whatever you're working on in here
is a lot more interesting than what's going on out there.
I'm making a drawing of my family. Me, my dad and Maria.
By tomorrow, she's gonna be my mom.
Oh. yeah?
Wow. Very true to life.
MARIA: Hey, guys, come on over.
Okay-
O kay?
It's not done yet.
Just keep working on it
till it turns out exactly the way you want it to.
-JOHNNY: Why am I stalking Maria? -Wait a minute.
What do you mean you were stalking her?
Brianna just showed me a drawing that she made of her, Alec and Maria.
The perfect family, right?
Then I touched it, and I got a not-so-perfect vision
of me hiding in the bushes watching Maria.
-Watching her? -Yeah. I had, like, a weird vibe.
It was, like, bitter and hostile.
I don't want to break up this little téte-é-téte.
I just wanted to introduce myself.
You must be Sarah's husband, Walt. I'm Pam Tanowitz.
No, I'm...
Sarah showed me a picture of your little boy, JJ,
and he's the cutest thing.
Now I know why. He looks just like daddy.
Thank you, but I'm not Walt. I'm actually John Smith.
But JJ looks just like him. Isn't that funny?
Well, no, in fact, not really, but the point is that JJ is...
Johnny is JJ's father, actually. He's his biological father.
But we're not married, no.
Because I'm married to Walt.
Not that...
I mean, I wasn't married to Walt when JJ was conceived.
-I was engaged... -To me.
Yeah.
PAM: Uh-huh.
How very modern of you.
Excuse me.
Oh, whatever. I can't stand her anyway.
-Sorority chick. -Yeah.
Who's a sorority chick?
.H6Y-
I thought you were gonna be at work all day.
I finished early, so I'm here to celebrate. So, let's do it.
-Or not. -Johnny had a vision.
Listen, Sarah, no problem.
I'm gone, the wedding will go on without any interruptions.
Everything's fine. Don't worry about it. I'm gonna go.
Hang on a second. It doesn't work like that.
What, is somebody hurt? Somebody missing? What?
No, no, no, no, listen, you guys, just go rumba,
and I'm gonna get out of here, okay?
Are you leaving already?
Yeah, well, you know, Walt just showed up,
so I kind of feel like the third wheel.
So, I'm just gonna head home, you know?
Well, this is fantastic.
Pam's date had to jet off to Tokyo,
and my mom was having a fit
because it was throwing off the whole seating chad,
but now you can take his place.
-Right, I really gotta go. -Please, say you will?
For the bride?
(JAZZ MUSIC PLAYING)
WALT: Well, happy anniversary, you guys.
A little something to mark the occasion.
You guys, it's beautiful.
-Thank you so much. -MARIA: It's beautiful.
Beautiful. Oh, it's beautiful.
Please, don't.
ALEC: We're just trying to enjoy our evening.
Just go.
Okay, 'cause you guys are just so damn happy!
-All right. Come on. -Why didn't you wait for me?
Come on.
Why didn't you wait for me?
JOHNNY: Answer me, Maria. WALT: Enough.
WALT: Come here. JOHNNY: Maria, why?
Why?
So. you'll stay?
-Yeah, I'd love to. Yeah. -Wonden'ul.
Pam will be so happy.
Oh, yeah.
SARAH: Another vision?
Yeah. I'm really angry in this one.
-At who? -It was you.
Well, I thought it was you, but I think it was actually Maria.
Now, why would you be angry at Maria?
You know what's really strange? I had one arm in the vision.
Wait a minute.
I remember something.
-JOHNNY: Who's this? -That's Bryan Hampton.
-Maria was engaged to him. -JOHNNY: That's him.
He's the one who's been stalking Maria and Alec, not me,
but it doesn't usually work this way.
It's like he was talking through me.
Johnny, Bryan is dead.
He died three years ago.
Then why would a dead man try to stop this wedding?
Doctors at the hospital here.
When that horrible earthquake hit Uzbekistan in 2001,
they volunteered to help Doctors for Peace.
They ended up in a really dangerous area.
The village that they were posted in was attacked by rebels.
-Maria and Alec survived. -Bryan didn't.
He was murdered by the rebels.
And then, about a year later,
Alec's wife suddenly died of breast cancer,
so they comforted each other, and eventually it turned into love.
Anyway, this is it.
It was a small funeral.
All they had to bury were a few personal effects.
MARIA: I need to try more... BRYAN: Okay.
BRYAN: You got a clamp?
There's a lot more bleeding than we anticipated.
ALEC: Let's suture that right away.
(SPEAKING IN FOREIGN LANGUAGE)
No! No! We're doctors. We're here to help!
-Where are you taking him? -MARIA: We're here to help.
No! Bryan!
-Alec, get her out of here! -Bryan!
-BRYAN: Alec, get her out!
Bryan! No! Bryan!
(MACHINE GUN FIRING)
Bryan!
Did you say they buried some of his personal effects?
Mmm-hmm.
I can't keep operating without this.
We don't have time for this. We don't have time.
Namangan is surrounded. Keep working.
REBEL SOLDIER: Come on, keep working.
You'd better save him, or you'll die. You understand?
I saw Bryan.
Johnny, I don't want to hear about his death.
He was not killed that day. The rebels faked his death.
My vision was in the present. Bryan is alive.
-What? -Wait a minute, Bryan's alive?
He's being held captive by some of the rebels.
He's being forced to patch up their wounded,
-but he's hurt. It's his left arm. -Oh, my God.
SARAH: In your vision of the future, he was missing an arm.
We gotta get him out of there right away.
One of the rebels said that they were being surrounded
in some place called Nam... Namangan. Namangan?
All right, listen, I'll make some phone calls.
I'll see if I can get somebody from Doctors for Peace to help us out, okay?
Listen, I have to tell Maria that Bryan's alive.
It's so rare that I have good news
from one of my visions to share with someone.
Johnny, wait.
This is going to be a shock. Her wedding day...
I'll break it to her as gently as I can.
Oh, my God.
SARAH: What's this?
Night before the wedding,
and the groom leaves you all alone to do all the work?
Alec wanted to help, but somebody had to drive Aunt Esther home.
-I'm almost out of ribbon. -Let me get it.
Thanks. It's in the yellow bag in the bedroom.
Tomorrow's your big day. We wouldn't want anything to spoil it.
Can I give you a hand with those, Maria?
Thank you. There's so much to do.
Maria, I hope you don't think I'm being too forward,
but Sarah told me about the tough times you went through a few years back.
-That took a long time to accept. -Must've been really hard for you.
Even now sometimes I feel guilty being this happy when he's gone.
His name was Bryan.
You probably don't know this, but he knew you.
-He did? -At Eastern Maine.
He did his residency there.
You were a patient on his neurology rounds.
I was a surgical resident.
I used to see Sarah there every day visiting you.
Now she's married to Walt.
Yeah, and you're about to marry Alec.
It's strange, the turns life takes.
Maria, Bryan's alive.
BrYan?
Bryan!
No. No. Bryan.
Life never turns out the way you think it will.
-SARAH: So, you didn't tell her? -Well, how could I?
I saw that if I do, she's gonna call off the wedding and wait for Bryan,
but then she's gonna wind up with a guy
that's too messed up for her to be with, and that's gonna ruin her life.
Maria's already been through so much, and so has Alec.
I keep thinking about this vision I had of Bryan stalking them.
It was an anniversary celebration,
and you bought Maria and Alec a leather photo album.
That must've been their third anniversary.
Leather's what you give to mark it.
So, that means your vision was of the future
and of Bryan headed down a very dark path.
Unless we can change it.
PURDY: I'm aware that this is extremely time-sensitive,
but I just pushed as hard as I can.
As soon as the State Department gets confirmation,
they will assemble a rescue team.
How soon do you think that'll be?
If you're hoping for confirmation before the wedding...
I doubt it.
Well, how can you marry these people knowing what you do?
Ruining the most beautiful day of Alec and Maria's life
isn't gonna get Bryan home any quicker.
Yeah, but Maria has a right to know that he's alive.
What about Alec?
He's already suffered the loss of his wife to breast cancer,
leaving him with a young daughter to raise by himself.
That child needs a mother.
Maria has been the answer to their prayers.
What impact do you think this is gonna have on them?
Maria needs to be told before she goes down that aisle.
With all due respect, John,
I don't believe you're the best judge of that.
Why not?
Don't you think you're a little too close to this
to make an objective decision?
Close to it? I hardly even know Maria and Alec.
But you think you know what's best for them,
because when you look at that couple,
you see two other people you think were never meant to be together.
-Let's just stay on topic, shall we? -This is precisely the topic, John.
It has been for the past three years.
Sarah and Walt.
Do you really not see, John?
From the first vision you had, that set this whole thing in motion,
seeing yourself object
fulfilled a desire in you to do something you never had a chance to do,
to stop a wedding you wish had never happened.
You want to rewrite history.
You want to make this love story turn out the way yours and Sarah's didn't.
Look, let's just get Bryan home,
and then we'll all have a chance to see how the story plays out.
For better or worse, Gene.
No matter what Purdy says,
she deserves to know that the love of her life is still out there, Sarah.
Look,
I know that Bryan and Maria were engaged,
and they were planning to have a life together.
Yeah, a life full of hopes and dreams they never got a chance to live.
But right now Maria is in love with Alec.
Yeah, and, what, Bryan being alive might ruin their suburban plans?
What I'm saying is we don't have to tell them before the ceremony.
We could wait until they're married.
And what if after that Maria chooses to be with Bryan?
Then you're just making things more complicated and more painful.
I don't know. I'm just trying to do what's best for everyone.
-What, by making decisions for them? -No, that's your thing.
You're trying to make this whole thing turn out the way you want.
You know, when JJ was a newborn, he had horrible colic.
-Do you know what that is? -Yeah, kids scream...
There's no reason. There's no cure.
SARAH: Walt would be up nights with him.
He used to do this thing called the window washer.
That crying just absolutely wore me out,
but Walt never flinched.
It was the only thing that worked.
And when JJ was two,
his doctor thought that he might have some hearing loss.
You never told me that.
Look, what I'm trying to say
is that I understand what Maria is going through,
and I also know how much worse things are going to get.
So, you think it'll be easier later if she marries Alec now?
In some ways, yes.
At least one decision will already be made.
So, what about the day that you married Walt?
If someone came up to you and told you that I would wake up,
would you have wanted them to keep it to themselves?
-This isn't about me. -The hell it isn't.
You said you know how she feels
and you know what she's going through.
-I do! -Then answer my question.
If someone came up to you at your wedding and told you positively
that I was going to wake up, what would you have done?
Johnny...
Just answer my question, Sarah. Would you have waited for me?
How can you ask me that?
Nobody asked me,
but if I were Alec, I'd wanna know everything
before the "I do's.".
I met this very cool chick on the elevator named Nicole.
Bomb-dot-com.
-Hi. Can I have another glass? -Speak of the devil.
In a blue dress.
Johnny, I know that this wedding may be stressing you out.
Dude, you have no idea.
Listen, I'd love to hear more about it,
but right now Miss May-Be-Right may be hooking up with Mr Wrong,
so I need you to get over there and find out if she is the one.
It's good. It's good.
-Nicole, would you marry me? -Yes, I'll marry you.
-It's real good. Real good. -Yes, yes, yes.
What the...
(SCUFFLING)
(COUGHING)
(CLEARS THROAT)
-It's bad. No, it's real bad. -What?
-No, no, no. No, no, no. No. No. -Stay clear. Trouble.
No. No, no, no. Hold up, hold up. Now, hold on, man.
How bad can it be?
What, do I lose an eye?
Look at her, John. She is so...wol1h it.
I could wear a patch for her.
-All right. -Let me ask you something.
Do you think I'm over Sarah?
I warned you, man, weddings bring up things that you'd rather let lie.
Is that a yes or a no?
If you're not over her, you ought to be.
All right, that story is old.
Sarah was your girl once, but she chose another guy.
Twice.
Move on.
The thing is, I have.
-What do you mean? Rebecca? -Yeah.
Come on, guy, she doesn't even live in the same state.
If you are truly over Sarah, prove it.
-How? -Call Rebecca.
Come on, man. Do it.
Do it unless you wanna be stuck in the same place for the rest of your life.
Johnny.
This is the locket that Bryan gave to Maria when they got engaged.
She's never taken it off before today.
I've got to get it back to the bridal suite.
Doing a little cat burgling, huh?
-So, what do we hope to get out of this? -Well, some clue to what we should do.
Whenever I felt like this, lost,
you were always there.
You were the one I came to to help me figure it out.
I need you to tell me what to do, Johnny.
I want to believe that there's still a chance for us,
but I just don't know how much longer to wait.
Our baby.
Our baby's growing up, and he needs a father,
and I'm scared.
He's a good man, and he loves me,
and I know that he'll love our son.
I'm not strong enough to do this.
I need you to let me go, Johnny.
-He already has, Sarah. -Bryan.
I've followed Johnny's prognosis ever since he was brought in.
As doctors, we're trained to heal, not to give up on a patient,
but everything we know about medical science
tells us this is as good as it's gonna get,
and as painful as that is, I think it's time you accepted it, too.
Johnny's never gonna wake up.
So, you asked Johnny to let you go.
You need to let him go now.
You deserve a chance at a happier life.
So does your baby.
I think Johnny would want that for both of you.
I feel for you, friend. You don't deserve this.
Nobody does.
Did you see Bryan?
Bryan was there at the hospital
with you and me.
What do you mean?
The day you made your decision.
BEST MAN: Ladies and gentlemen.
Would you please take your seats?
Something old.
Into this holy estate, these two persons present come now to be joined.
Three.
-I beg your pardon? -Three persons.
Three persons.
Of course, young lady. Please forgive me.
Into this holy estate, these three persons come now to be joined.
If anyone can show just cause
why they may not lawfully be joined together,
let him speak now
or forever hold his peace.
(SOFT INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC PLAYING)
-Alec, do you take... -SARAH: I object.
-What... Pardon me, Sarah? -I said, I object.
Maria, I need to talk to you.
This is kind of a bad time, Sarah. Do you think it can wait?
It's about Bryan.
Maria, he's alive.
I was in love with two men,
and I believed that one of them was gone forever,
but he wasn't, and you know, the more I thought about it,
the more I realised that I would have wanted to know the truth.
-The government told us he was dead. -WALT: They were wrong.
He's been held hostage and forced to operate on the rebels.
Oh, my God.
-Bryan.. . -Is he hurt?
He'll get the medical attention he needs as soon as he's rescued.
The State Department's working on it, trying to pinpoint his exact location.
-You don't even know if this is true? -No, it's true.
I know that I saw him. Bryan's alive.
Well, then, what are we waiting for? Let's pop open the champagne.
-Alec... -They don't even know where he is.
-But... -Honey,
all I'm saying is that we can't get our hopes up.
What do we do now? Do we wait?
-Do we go through with the wedding? -That's up to the two of you.
(KNOCKING ON DOOR)
I'm sorry, but she insisted on coming in to see if both of you were all right.
Isn't there gonna be a wedding?
We don't know, sweetheart
I understand that all of this is a lot to take in,
but does any of it really change the reason we're here?
Maria? What do you wanna do?
I don't know.
Alec?
I love you.
And I wanna marry you.
Today. Right now.
But if you want to wait, I understand.
-What about Bryan? -Well, we bring him home.
Then you have some big decisions to make.
Look, I'm not gonna lie to you.
If we weren't together, it would break my head,
but whatever you decide, I'll support you.
I don't wanna wait. I wanna get married.
ALEC: It's okay, baby.
Let's get married. Today.
Maria, are you sure?
I'm sure.
I can't stand this. It's too much.
And I love you.
That's not gonna change.
Well, Reverend? You heard the woman.
Let's try this again.
Into this holy estate, these two persons present come now to be joined.
If anyone can show just cause
why these two should not be lawfully joined,
let him speak now
or forever hold his peace.
Alec...
-Maria, I don't think... -Alec, please.
I'm sorry, but you know this isn't right.
Now what?
(SOBBING)
(KNOCKING ON DOOR)
What the hell were you thinking?
Do you have any idea what you've done? Turning our lives upside down like this.
Reverend Purdy just got a call from the State Department.
There've been rumours about an American doctor
working for the rebels against his will.
Up until now, they'd just been rumours,
but they're sending in a rescue team as we speak.
What's this, Maria?
"We regret to inform you..."
(GUN FIRING)
(MEN YELLING)
They're bringing him home, Maria.
I can't even imagine...
You were right.
I just wouldn't let myself believe that it could be true.
My God.
Bryan's alive.
Yeah, like Alec said, you got some big decisions to make.
Alec.
No matter what I decide, I'm gonna be hurting someone I love.
Tell me what I should do.
-It doesn't work like that. -Please.
I need you to tell me
what I should do.
You don't need me to tell you anything.
You just need to follow your head, Maria.
(BRIDAL MARCH PLAYING)
PURDY: Dearly beloved, into the estate of holy matrimony
these three persons come now to be joined.
If anyone knows just cause
why these two people should not be joined in holy matrimony,
let him speak now
or forever hold his peace.
(APPLAUSE)
I feel really great. I didn't...
Oh, sorry.
(LAUGHING)
(CHUCKLES)
(ROMANTIC MUSIC PLAYING)
-God, I hate this song. -Yeah, me, too.
Although it could be worse.
I had You Light Up My Life in my head for three years.
If I had that stuck in my head for the six years of my coma, I don't...
(WHISTLES)
Maybe you'll meet her here today at the wedding.
No.
I'm thinking that you went and changed the future,
meaning both of our futures.
I'm starting to think that I'm never gonna find...
(EXCLAIMING)
-Okay, this one's a freebie for you. -No, no, no, no.
No, don't touch her.
Play on, player.
Yeah.
(CLEARS THROAT)
Hi.
Well.
To Maria and Alec.
Who are meant to be.
You know, you never did get the answer to your question.
If someone had walked up to me on my wedding day
and told me that you would wake up in six years,
what would I have done?
No.
You don't owe me an answer.
I would have waited for you.
May I have this dance?
Rebecca.
Yeah, it's good to hear your voice, too.
Yeah, I've been thinking about you, too.
