My name is melinda gordon
I just got married
just moved to a small town,just opened up an antique shop
I might be just like you
Except from the time that I was a little girl,I knew that I could talk to the dead
It's all right,honey
Earthbound spirits,my grandmother called them
the ones who have not crossed over yet because they have unfinished business with the living
and they come to me for help
To tell you my story,I have to tell you theirs
Melinda
So how do you know lisa
Melinda?
Um. Sorry. Andre and I own a antique store in Grandview
Lisa is one of our glass supplier
So we found her a wedding dress
Oh,great
Okay Okay
Come on
I just want to thank everyone for coming out this night
And I specially wonna thank whoever gave me this
Someone is gonna plan to use this in the week end,I promise
And I just want you all to know
that I got the best friends
And a man who really knows how to love
I just feel like the luckiest woman on the planet
what's the hell was that
You know,I'm thinking
That wasn't just a nasty draft
A ghost,in a wedding dress and something tells me she is just getting start
You looks beautiful
I can't believe how well it fits,just like custom made
How did you find it? Exactly what I've been looking for
Everything is out there if you look hard enough
Thank you,I love it
There's a little tight though
Don't worry about that,we can let it out
Hey,are you Okay?
Yeah,just a little dizzy
It's strange ever since we are engaged
I had the slugish feeling like I'm too tired to do anything
Sometimes I wonder if it's the cosmos tell me not to get married
chest feels a little tight
Let's get her out the dress
I can't get a breathe
I'd better take you home
I'm telling you,you have to eat something
I found cookie,are you sure you don't want me to make a sandwich
I'm fine. You are being way too sweet
Not that sweet. I already have these all in the kitchen
Please,have another one
Okay,maybe one more
Stop
Stop it. I can see you
What?
Who were you talking to?
Um...
Lisa,do you remember how you said weird things happening
There is a reason for it
You have a spirit attached to you
You saying I'm haunted
She is one started the fire at the party
She?
Melinda,you are freaking me out. Is this a joke?
I wouldn't have mentioned it if she won't so...persistent
You see her. but...I can't
It's a gift. I have this thing I can do
Okay! where is the camera
You and mark trying to punk me,right?
She's wearing a wedding dress
What?
I can't see her face. She's wearing veil. She's young and angry
Serena
It's Mark
Please don't mention anything about this,I'll explain
- Hey! Mark - Hey! what are you doing home
This is my friend Melinda. She is helping me with the wedding dress
Wedding? what...what wedding?
Honey. come on. You are so stressed. this is supposed to be fun
Yeah. you know sometimes it can seems like chaos,but,it's all gonna come together
I promise
It's heavier than it looks
Tell me about it
I'm pay for price for that. I'm gonna check in the register tomorrow
Absolutely not. You'll take it at cost
I mean. what is the good of having a antique store if you don't get the discount
*** you are the one giving yourself a discount
Melinda?
Yeah. Sorry
Here. Let me take a corner
Can you help me find someone?
Not now,I'm sorry
You know. I think the least you can do is introduce me
I feel so guilty when I can't help them
As if your plate isn't full enough with lisa
Hey did you tell her the ghost bride? Yeah
And I got the usual action
of course
Then I mentioned she was in a wedding dress?
That really for her rattled
It meant something to her
Aha. the pluck pickens
I have to got this spirit cross over before the wedding
Why. do you thing she would mess the ceremony?
Well. seem she almost set the bachelor party to fire
I have to tell ya.
why don't you be elicit
spirit's *** i don't know. like...interactive. i guess?
Earthbound spirit usually are not
There is definitely something going on out there
It's like they are getting stronger
Come to bed
in a minute
I'm checking my reservation
So you really want us stay in that hotel that night
I don't want wake up in your bed on my wedding day
It sucks all the romance out of it
Hey. nothing can suck the romance out of our wedding
I'll just be relieved when the ceremony is over
and we are safely on our honey moon
i know i know
don't be up too late
i won't
shoot!
Happily never after
Mark!
what. what is it
look
There was a message on the screen
It was right there i swear
Hey honey come on
go to bed you need some rest
Mark. what if it's serena
what
you know. weird things keep happening what if
serena is causing them
how could she be
i don't know
Hey listen. this is nerves Okay?
It's nerves and just not luck
You love me. right
like i never loved anybody
I now pronounce you
dead
Hey
hi
hope you don't mind. i wasn't sure the time you open
no no no
no problem
are you Okay
this ghost...i think her name is serena
she's mark's late wife
she died on the wedding day
in the car accident leaving the church
Mark was the only survivor
he does not like to talk about it
i know he was devastated but...
how do you get over something like that
i don't know if i ever do
Just learn to live with that i guess
Day we moved in together
weird stuff start happening
like what?
electrical things. lights are flicking all the time
Computers go crazy
And what about you? what do you feel?
That's the thing
Sometimes i feel really tired. drained
other times depressed
That's because spirit feed up your energy
And I feel... hated
what?
i know that sounds weird but...
i feel this hatred coming out me like someone always
watching waiting
like someone wants to hurt me
she's not gonna let me have Mark
so mark has no idea his fianc��e being haunted by his late wife
no. now she doesn't want tell him
well. she's gonna tell him eventually
You have to get the ghost cross over for the wedding
i don't know if i can
i can't make a spirit go. if they don't wonna go
Man. Lisa is bumming
The last thing she want is Mark thinking about serena at their wedding day
she's just want start the clean ***
You never start with clean ***
people make comparison with the past relationships
Yeah. i know.
That's something no thrown in your face
You know. i know it bugs me Jim talks about his exes
Why?
I just don't like the idea of thinking about him with another woman
Even i know he was a monk before he met me
But come on,you have to be curious
i am curious. i just have to keep them in the abstract
so he went out with a bunch of women
it wasn't ***. the long leg sweet supermodel
Jim dated a supermodel?
i'm not let you know something i don't
i bet your Jim did date a supermodel
i'm totally kidding
So. do you keep in contact with any of your ex-girlfriends
Did you find a blonde hair on my uniform,you know
there is perfectly reasonable explanation
i'm serious
Am i currently in touch with one of my ex-girlfriends?
Yeah
really?
Yeah. Stephanie from Connecticut
remember?
she emails me pictures of a little boy's once so often
And i'm 99% sure neither of them are mine
nice
look i keep in touch with her husband,too
He doesn't email you,though
what is going on?
nothing. just you never mention Stephanie
yes i did. remember?
a lawyer from Danbury?
make you nerves because she had some scrimption in bride magazine
i just never had her name
So she is in attorney. she must be really smart
Yes she is
One time she finished new your times cross word puzzle in 102hours and brag it for about a week
Did you ever think about...i don't know,getting married?
She talked i listened
well you loved her,i meant you'd live with her,right?
i think i'm falling into a giant marital bear trap
while i have to chew off one leg to get out
i thought about it,though,for about a minute
You know? took an aspirin
Hey,stop that
what is wrong with you?
why are you doing this,serena?
How do you know my name?
you saw my first barbeque. you know. careful you don't get burned
Serena,wait. i can help you
i'm just look things
- Thanks for coming - no problem
Mark thinks i'm losing my mind from stress. he may be right
You are not believe me
But having Mark believe that is exactly serena wants
we are supposed to meet our minister here to go over the ceremony
i thought if we came here early you can talk to him first
what are you doing here?
trying to help
she is here?
So. what are you two having some kind of shared hallucination?
Mark. please just try to be open
i don't blame you for not believing
but it's true
she is with us
Serena is haunting us
She is going to try to destroy our wedding
She's not as dumb as i thought
Honey,listen to yourself
You realize what you saying?
Tell him i appreciate the irony
getting marry at the same church as we did
She's upset because she getting married at the same church
Is this the same church?
is it?
Honey You know,this is my family church. i was ***** here
That book better not be what i think it is
She's asking about the book
what about the book?
This is nothing
Just gonna use a poem for the ceremony
i was gonna show the minister
You know where he got that book?
Me
i gave it to him because i want him use a poem for our wedding
but at that time it was too corny
what's happening
it's the book of poetry she gave you
How did you know that?
She just told me
Serena
Serena gave you that book?
i didn't even read it
She was dead
Tell him he better not dare read those poems
tell him!
Lisa. hey wait. where you going?
Does he really think he can forget me that easily?
How's Lisa. she Okay?
She's all right
She's seriously freak out
So am I
What am i supposed to do
to stay calm
Serena get stronger if you are scared or anxious
what does she want?
I'm not sure
But i knew what she doesn't want
You to marry Lisa
I don't understand,i mean,Lisa is the best
She's wonderful
Even serena's parent love Lisa
Some people just can't let go
Living or dead
Can i talk to her
She's not here
I'm sorry. i really wish i can help you
no,i know,you're trying
thank you
You know...i thought
When i lost serena i thought
i thought never be happy again
Maybe i was right
Stop interfering
Why are you doing this?
This isn't your business
I'm trying to help,Them and you
i don't need your help
How can you call this antique store when half the items are new?
Look i know that you've been through a lot
Mark has too. don't you think he at least deserve a shot of happiness?
Happiness
That's relative,don't you think?
Weren't you happy?
i remember being happy when my wedding day
the ceremony was beautiful. everything is perfect
It's a little over-whelming to feel all that love
from your family and friends
And of course your husband
Then on the way to reception
Mark was driving,i was in the front seat
Mark's best man josh was in back
it all happens so quickly
one second we were talking and the next
still wondering why i was so angry
That's a horrible way to die. i understand
You need to understand something else
i can't have you interfering anymore
If you do. there won't be percussions
What is that supposed to mean?
trust me...you don't want to find out
I'm gonna have to switch with bobby and work the graveyard shift.
Is that gonna be all right?
Melinda.
You and stephanie,do you e-mail each other a lot?
What?
No.
Once every couple of months
and then maybe...
can I ask you to stop?
Why?
Can't I ask you to do something without there having to be a reason?
Yes,you can. I'm just...
I'm not sure where this is coming from.
You're not?
You are e-mailing your genius ex-girlfriend
who is recently single
hunting for a new father for her kids.
I'm just supposed to be ok with that?
No. But it just seems...
like a perfectly normal request.
I'll do it.
Thank you.
Honey,I got to say
you seem to be channeling some weird ghost energy.
It's not always about ghosts,jim.
This is so above and beyond the call of duty.
It's about honoring her memory.
Maybe she'll see that I'm not trying to eradicate her.
Good to see you again.
It's so nice of you to come.
It would mean so much to serena
if she knew you were here.
Thank you.
Somebody please remove those hideous flowers.
Thank you,daddy.
She'd be happy you're moving on,mark.
Lisa's a good woman.
Oh,she's got you totally snowed.
Why are you even here trying to score points with my parents?
You can't replace me,ladybug.
Give up.
Honey,you ok?
I'm sorry. I just feel a little queasy.
I think I should go back to the car,if that's ok.
She's a lovely girl,mark.
You're lucky. Twice blessed. I know.
I can never forget serena.
You won'T.
Leave. You don't belong here.
There you are. Your dress is ready,
and I just need you to try it on one more time.
Look,I...
I really appreciate
all the trouble you've gone to.
And I'm gonna pay for it,of course.
What are you talking about?
There's not going to be a wedding.
It's just so obvious that mark has never gotten over serena.
What?
Why do you think that?
We visited her grave together.
If you could've seen his face--
the love,the--I don't know--the grief.
It was...heartbreaking.
He'S...in love with her,not me.
I knew that I could never compare to her.
But I love him... so much.
I guess I was dumb to think that that would be enough.
Why don't you postpone the ceremony?
Ok? For just like a few weeks.
Take some time. Really think about this.
It's not about a few weeks or a few months.
Serena is never gonna let him go.
Thank you both... so much for everything.
Don't you want your dress?
Keep it.
You just don't listen,do you?
He's very handsome,your husband.
Masculine.
I like that. Stay away from him,serena.
You stay away from mine,I'll stay away from yours.
I just had the weirdest dream.
Didn't I?
I wish that's all it was.
What are you doing?
Oh,it's nothing. Plumbing problem.
Oh,I'm sorry. No offense,but I'm calling a real plumber this time.
This is ridiculous.
Uh,wait.
No,you should not have to spend your time on this.
I left out one small important detail.
Oh?
I misplaced my wedding ring.
I took it off when I was taking a shower.
I put it on the sink.
It must've fallen in.
Don't panic. I will get it.
You did not misplace it.
Serena,give him his ring back!
What? I hate to ask this,but who is serena?
Serena!
I don't know where lisa is,mark. I promise.
She just packed a bag and she left.
Was she mad the last time you saw her?
Mad? No.
I would say resigned.
This is all about serena,isn't it?
She doesn't think it's really over.
And she's hurt that you asked her to be alone at serena's grave yesterday.
No,no,no. It'S...it's not what she thinks.
Well,then,what?
I didn't wanna upset serena's parents with what I had to say.
I got a chance here to be happy,
happy the way that you and I never really were.
Lisa and I,we're soulmates.
If you really love me,you'll know this is true.
Please.
Serena.
Let me have that,serena.
Did you love serena?
I thought I did.
I swear.
We were a couple since high school.
We went to college together.
It was just always the two of us.
You know? Marriage seemed like the next logical step.
And then serena got pregnant.
I didn't know that she was pregnant.
There's a little more to the story.
He's got to be back by tuesday. Hey.
Have you seen serena?
Yeah,yeah. She's over here.
Hey.
Should you be drinking?
Oh. You're right.
You're right. I'm sorry.
What's going on,serena?
That's not like you.
You wouldn't take a chance like that.
I miscarried a week ago.
Are you...well,you're just telling me this now?
Mark,chill.
It's her wedding day,man.
Hey,it's mine,too,josh.
I knew you'd be upset,and I didn't wanna ruin everything.
All our plans.
Hey,we're gonna try again.
I wasn't trying to trick you.
I just didn't want this day to be depressing.
I just don't understand you--
how you can think it's ok
to completely lie to me.
Hey,mark. Come on.
She miscarried,man.
Think of what she went through.
She must've felt...
at least you're still together,and you have your whole lives to...
mark!
I woke up a day later in the hospital.
My wife and my best friend were dead.
And I kept going over that last conversation,
what josh had said about the miscarriage
and what she must have gone through.
It was like he understood her better than I did.
I mean,he was looking out for her...
and I was thinking about myself.
If you don't know if you were in love with serena,
how do you know that you love lisa?
I don't know how to describe it.
Being with her,it's like finding a perfect match,
like meeting someone who knows everything about you,good and bad.
Someone you never have to hide who you are from.
Someone that makes you feel...
safe.
Yeah.
I had a lot of things with serena.
I did.
But nothing like that.
She's here?
Not anymore.
I thought I'd find you here.
I've always loved it here.
It's so peaceful.
I'm sorry.
You know what hurts the most?
He's right.
We didn't get married because we were madly in love.
We got married because there didn't seem to be any reason not to.
But it's important to know the truth.
It's part of the reason you're still here.
I've been a raging witch,haven't I?
Oh. I think you should just try and be happy for him.
I wasn't always this way.
Josh used to say we were the happiest couple he knew.
Best man josh?
He used to joke with me that he was just waiting for me to get tired of mark
and then he was gonna sweep me away.
Don't be so sure he was joking.
Josh?
Yeah,you know.
Sometimes you want what's in front of you to work so bad
that you don't see what's right there beside you.
What am I supposed to do now?
Um...do you know where lisa is?
Maybe.
Maybe you should send her a signal,
try to make amends.
Speaking of making amends...your husband's ring.
It's in the left pocket of that ratty bathrobe of his.
Thank you.
Oh,thank you,spirit world.
Thank you.
Wait. Is she here?
No. Just you and me.
Are we ok?
Not completely.
There's something
I need to talk to you about.
Do you remember that guy that I told you I dated in college?
Yeah. Kevin somebody.
Kevin cole.
It was a little more serious than dating.
You don't need to do this.
I do.
Kevin and I were really close.
We talked about the future,
the city we wanted to live in,
how many kids we wanted to have.
Ok. See,this is when I think maybe sharing everything is not...
I am not finished.
I trusted him... more than anyone else.
And then I told him about my...
what I can do,and he didn't believe it.
Broke your heart.
He did.
Then I met you,and I learned what love is supposed to be.
You never doubted anything I told you.
You just...you just accepted it right away. You know?
You're my best friend,and you make me feel really safe.
HeY.
And I really liked your body.
Why do you always have to joke?
The flight's scheduled to arrive just before noon.
Mom,you don't need to pick me up.
O'hare's crazy this time of year.
I'll find a cab.
Uh,of course I still love him.
It's just that he's not ready right now.
Uh,see you tomorrow. Love you.
It's over
All right already!
You won! You can stop it now!
Hello.
It's for you.
Of course.
Hello.
I'll be right there.
Thought I'd go out with a bang just because I can.
I feel her.
Why is she still here?
I was trying to apologize. In my way.
She wants to give you a message.
You know what to tell her.
She knows how much you love mark,
and she's sorry about the way that she acted,
and she's gonna stop now.
She's gonna cross over.
It doesn't change one thing.
Mark is still seriously hung up on her.
No,he isn'T.
Not the way you think.
You didn't see him at the cemetery.
He told me about the cemetery.
He asked serena to let him go.
He told her how much he loved you,
how much he wanted to make you happy.
Is she here?
Can I ask a question?
Why...
why did you do this to me,to us?
What was the point?
Because you have your whole life with mark,
all that time to make it perfect,
and I don'T.
She just wanted more time with him.
She felt cheated.
I'm sorry for everything that's happened,
for everything that she's been through.
Tell her I tried to show her a poem for the wedding.
Here.
She found you a poem for the wedding.
It's on the night table.
Thank you so much,melinda.
"Thank you,melinda"?
Maybe you should thank serena,too.
Yes.
Thank you,serena.
All I can say is you better not blow it.
He is a pretty good catch all and all.
She says good luck on your wedding.
I have to call mark.
Excuse me.
Done my duty. Where's my light?
Um,hello. Where's my light?
I don't know.
If you can't see it,maybe you're not ready.
What kind of answer is that?
Where the hell is my light?
"Love alters not with his brief hours and weeks,
"but bears it out even to the edge of doom.
I never writ,nor no man ever loved."
This poem was suggested by a trusted and treasured guest.
Now may I kiss my bride?
Kiss her!
Cranberry juice,please?
Can you help me find someone?
You're josh,aren't you?
Yeah.
Come with me.
Serena?
Someone's been looking for you.
Josh.
You all right?
I've been looking everywhere for you.
Are you all right?
Yeah.
I think I am.
I can't believe I found you.
What is up with you? You're like super giddy.
I'll explain later.
Wait a minute. Serena's gone.
She's gone.
Peace at last.
Oh. I just think it's wonderful,you know,
when people can find their perfect match,
who they're supposed to be with.
HmM.
What?
Um...
I'm just wondering.
She must be here somewhere.
Oh,yeah. That's right.
There she is.
Oh,yeah. Here I am.
