It opens with a wedding scene where the groom and bride are greeting the guests as they are leaving the wedding.

All is normal and joyful as the bride kisses some guests and shakes the hands of guests as they live. The groom is happy, shaking the hands of his guests.

The camera is then on a happy but timid fast which the bride immediately recognize and her face changes a little from that careless happiness to a more guarded and controlled smile. Just before shaking hand, she say to him, "It's good to see you again."

As they shake hands, the man, looking a little dreamily and says to the bride,"I am so happy for you." They pause for a moment and the groom has finished greeting his guest and look at them. The bride catches (notices) the groom's attention and say to the groom, "Hey Richard, this is my old friend, Nicolas."
"Oh, Nicolas, good to see you, she tells me so much about you, thank you for coming!"
"Oh really?" Nicolas is taken back a bit, looks quickly at Natalie quickly just by moving his eyes and quickly smiles.
"Hey, let's take a picture together. Harry can you take a picture of us."
Natalie and Nicolas looks a bit awkward and they stand together with the groom for the picture.
"It's a fabulous wedding and I wish you two all the very best."
"Thank you."

Benny notices the look.
"Oh sorry honey. Ellisha, this is Nick, my old friend from high school. Nick, my wife Ellisha."

"2 years ago Nick, bastard. Didn't you get the invitation, I mailed it to your place. The old place. I even invited your parents."
"Gosh I am sorry, I wish I was there. Like I said, I was out of the country. I am really sorry."
"It's okay. You owe me a wedding gift."
"Yeah, no problem."
"I am kidding. We still have boxes unopened wedding gifts at home, we don't need anymore coffee maker or oven, knives and forks."

"Tell me about it," Ellisha say. She is soon distracted by a friend and excuses herself.

"Anyway, I thought I would see you here. Which, by the way, makes me so angry.
You came because of Natalie right?"

"Hey"

Natalie turns around and is a little surprise to see Nicolas.

"Hey yourself."

"You look great. Stunning."

"You don't look bad yourself."

"I remember how I used to fancy you in suits."

"And I just hated wearing them."

"You don't anymore?"

"No, I still do, but somewhat got used to wearing them. But then when I get home after a hot day, I just torn them off."
Making motion as if to tear his clothes open.

Natalie laughs.

"How do you get out here anyway?"

"I said I was going to the bathroom."

Nicolas makes an O with his mouth.

"And I did and then I just felt like coming out here to get a breather."

"Yea, I know what you mean, must be exhausting."

A bride maid walks quickly from behind them.
"Natalie! There you are. You need to come back here. Everybody is waiting for you."

"Oh shoot, what's happening?"

The bride maid looks sternly at Nicolas.

"Hi Karin."
"Nicolas."

Nicolas is left alone outside as the two women walk quickly back inside into the restaurant.
