Upstairs in Marilyn and Richard's room. Marilyn and Ellen are helping Susan get dressed. Susan is wearing a weding gown.
Marilyn:[to Susan] And now for…something old, something new, something borrowed, and something blue.
Susan:OK. Let's see. Something borrowed. That's this dress. Borrowed from Marilyn.
Ellen:Something blue. My wristband. I wore it when I married your father. [She puts it on Susan's left wrist.]
Susan:Oh, Mother. I forgot you still had it. It's just so lovely.
Ellen:I bought it in an antique shop when I was about eighteen years old. I saved it for my wedding day.
Susan:And you saved it for me, didn't you, Mother?
Ellen:Yes, honey. I did.
Marilyn:Are we ever going to finish?
[They all laugh and cry.]
Ellen:All right. OK. Something borrowed.
Marilyn:The wedding dress. And something blue.
Susan:The wristband. Something old?
Ellen:Something old. Right. What's old?
Susan:Of course! Something old. I had planned to wear them. [She gets someting from the dresser.]
Ellen:Grandma's pearls! Oh, Grandpa will be so pleased that you're wearing them. I'm sure he misses Grandma on a day like this.
Susan:Help me with them, Marilyn. [Marilyn puts the pearls around Susan's neck.] I've never worn them before. I've been saving them for today.
Ellen:Saving them for today? Oh, you're a real Stewart!
Marilyn:[She finishes helping Susan with the pearls.]Oh, there you go. Lovely!
Ellen:Lovely!
Susan:[She looks in the mirror.] Lovely!
Marilyn:Something borrowed, something blue.
Something old… and now for something new. [She picks up the veil from the bed.]
Susan:The veil.Oh, it's so beautiful, Marilyn!
Ellen:You really are a fabulous designer, Marilyn.
Marilyn:[She puts the veil on Susan's head and hums the“Wedding March.”] Doesn't it look just right on Susan?
Ellen:Perfect!
Marilyn:And when you both say, “I do. ” Harry will lift this veil over your head and kiss the bride.
Ellen:Oh, I'm so excited!
Susan:When you said, “I do, ”Marilyn, it suddenly became real.
Marilyn:That's all right, Susan. You've got the wedding-day jitters! In less than two hours, you will be Mrs. Harry Bennett.
Ellen:Oh, that reminds me. If we don't get dressed, we won't be there to see Susan become Mrs. Harry Bennett.
Susan:Before you leave----do I look all right?
Ellen:You never looked better.
Susan:Mom. [She hugs Ellen.]
Marilyn:She's right. [She hugs Susan. Suddenly, Marilyn's baby starts to cry in another room.] And that's dear little Max.
Got to go and feed him.
Susan:What am I supposed to do?
Marilyn:[She and Ellen are about to leave.] Take off the veil, kick off your shoes, and sit down.
Ellen:we'll come upstairs and get you in a little while.
Marilyn:Richard's going to take some wedding pictures before the ceremony. So just relax.
Susan:Are you kidding?Relax?
[Ellen and Marilyn leave.]
Susan:[She hums the “Wedding March.”] Susan Stewart…you are about to become Susan Bennett-Mrs. Harry Bennett.
