Set in 1993 Freddie is now 35. Charlotte is 27 and Tom 33.
Her wedding day.
I walked into Charlotte's hotel room.
Freddie – Charlotte?

Charlotte - I'm in the bathroom . Gimme one minute .
Freddie – Okay!
I waited until she emerged from the bathroom still her Pyjamas.
Freddie – Wow!
Charlotte – What?
Freddie – You look so beautiful!
Charlotte – Thank you Freddie, but wait until I put the dress on.
Freddie – So, my little sister is getting married today! It feels so weird!
Charlotte – Why?
Freddie – It all feels so grown up!
Charlotte - Can't I grow up?
Freddie – Yes, of course you can, but you are still my baby sister! I want your wedding day to be perfect!
Charlotte – Oh Freddie, you'll make me cry!
Freddie – your my perfect little sister
Charlotte – pleases don't make my mascara run!
Freddie – I mean it

Freddie – She got talking to Jenny. You know what those two are like!
There was a knock at the door
Chummy – Charlotte?

Mum looked at her with a joyful expression.
Chummy – I think one will cry a lot today.
Charlotte - No mum don't because you'll me set off.
