(Theresa and Ethan's wedding day)
T-Oh no! I can't find my pearl earrings! I can't get married without them! Everything is going so wrong!
(Theresa looks around the room and tears begin to fall on her face)
S-Take deep breathes. I am sure they are here somewhere!
P-Yeah they got to be here. I remember seeing them.
(Sheridan Pilar and Theresa start looking everyplace they think the pearl earrings would be. Sheridan looks on the floor and sees them)
S-Ah.here they are!
T-Where!
(Theresa looks at Sheridan)
P-Theresa calm down!
S-Yeah! Calm down! They are on the floor.
(Sheridan hands the earrings to Theresa)
T-Thanks for finding the earrings, Sheridan! I can't calm down! Luis is not even here and I won't get married without him! Where could he be?
(Theresa looks at the clock standing on the dressing table)
P-Theresa, he is probably running late. Maybe because of traffic and he is probably angry that he is later for your wedding, anyway.
S-Yes, I am sure he will be here. Relax, okay?
T-Are you sure?
S-I am sure he wouldn't miss it for the world. Here, why don't you hold your niece? It will take your mind off the wedding.
T-No, I don't want to. She might wreck my dress
P-Theresa, I never brought you up like this.
(Sheridan starts to laugh)
T-Sorry! Yeah! You are probably right, Sheridan.
S-Don't apologise! She has already vomited on me like 3 times. Now think of Ethan.that's how I got over my nerves.
P-Let me hold her, Sheridan.
S-Sure!
(Sheridan hands Samantha to Pilar and Pilar takes her)
T-I love him that's for sure but thinking of him is making me more nervous.
S-Ok how about thinking of.um.shopping?
T-Shopping?
S-Yeah! Think of new clothes you want to buy, this year.
T-I think.I am going to faint
S-It's fine, Theresa! Calm down!
Sheridan thinks-Luis, you better get here before Theresa goes mad!
S-How about I tell you about the first time Luis and I met?
T-I can't listen to anything but heart beat. It is so loud
S-It's going to be fine! I was like this on my wedding day
P-Theresa, drink water!
S-Yes! A very good idea!
(Sheridan hands Theresa the glass of water. Theresa takes the glass and drinks the water)
(Rachael walks in with baby Martin who is sleeping on her shoulder)
R-Theresa, Sorry we are late. Martin spew five times and the traffic was really bad.
S-Hi, Rachael. It's time Theresa!
R-Hi Sheridan, Hi Pilar!
P-Hi! Thank god you came or Theresa would have a mental breakdown.
(Rachael laughs)
T-I don't think I can do it. I think I going to fa.
(Theresa faints and falls to the floor)
S-Oh Shit!
P-Oh no! Not now!
(Sheridan picks up the jug of water and pours cold water on Theresa's face)
S-Theresa.sweetie! It's okay! Take a deep breathes and then you can do this!
(Theresa gets up from the floor and looks at her dress)
T-I can't go out and get married like this!
(Theresa points to the wet patch on her dress)
S-Yes you can! I will make sure of that!
(Sheridan grabs the hair dryer and starts to dry the wet patch) (The problem is it doesn't dry)
T-Oh no!
P-Theresa come on they are waiting for you!
T-I can't!
R-Don't worry no one will see it. I promise you.
T-I WON'T!
(Theresa stomps her feet)
S-YES YOU CAN!
(Theresa gets really mad and tears the flowers into pieces.)
S-THERESA CALM DOWN!
R-Honey, come on! They will notice your beautiful face than the wet patch. It isn't very noticeable.
(Sheridan and Pilar nod they head but Theresa keeps on tearing the flowers into pieces)
S-Rachel, get Luis!
R-Okay!
(Rachael runs out and comes back with Luis)
L-What's the matter? Why aren't you coming out, Theresa?
S-Your Sis is having a panic attack. Calm her down, please!
L-Theresa, what's the matter?
T-I can't get married to Ethan, today. Can I do this tomorrow?
S-No you can do it today. This what you wanted.
L-I am afraid you can't do this tomorrow.
P-You love Ethan so much even when I told you that you wouldn't be getting married to Ethan. You can do this! No matter what you look like.
R-Theresa, Ethan is marrying you for who he has known for the last 2 months not how you look on his and your wedding night.
S-Remember Ethan loves you for who you are inside.
(Ethan knocks on he door)
E-Is everything all right in there?
L-Ethan go and wait in the aisle and Theresa will come down it to marry you in a second or two.
E-Okay!
(Ethan goes back into the church and waits)
T-Ethan can't see me like this. Look at my dress. It is all wrinkly and wet
S-You look fine!
R-Honey, you look gorgeous!
P-Theresa, please do this now and you won't regret it!
L-Theresa, listen to me.
T-EVERYONE OUT EXCEPT LUIS!
S/P/R-Okay!
(Sheridan, Pilar and Rachael leave)
L-Theresa it doesn't matter what you look like on your wedding day. It's the memories that counts.
T-So Ethan is going to remember me looking ugly on our wedding night. This day was supposed to be special to him.
L-No! It is still special!
T-It is not special! Everything is going wrong!
L-No it isn't! You are thinking that it is so then everything goes wrong. Theresa, are you doing this because you don't want to marry Ethan?
T-No! I want to with whole of my heart. But not looking like this!
L-Mama didn't even wear a wedding dress. Just a plain dress and did Papa care. No he didn't because he loved her no matter how she looked. If says he loves you then he will not care how you look marrying him.
T-I want to wear one, Luis. Ethan will!
L-Then he doesn't really love you.
T-Yes he does!
L-Fine! Will you marry him now if I go to the shops and get you another dress that is similar to what you are wearing?
T-Will you Luis?
L-Yes. Stay here!
(Luis steps out and Sheridan, Pilar and Rachael stare at him)
S-So, is she getting ready or not?
L-No!
P-What? This isn't happening!
R-Honey, what are you going to do?
L-I am going to get her another dress that looks like that one she is wearing now. If I do she will get married now to Ethan. Mama stay here with her.
P-I will!
(Luis goes outside and gets into the car. He turns on the engine and drives to the wedding shop. 5 minutes later he comes back with a dress for Theresa to wear)(Luis enters the dressing room)
L-Theresa here I got you the dress. Will you get married now?
T-Yes! Thank you, Luis! I love you!
(Theresa hugs Luis)
S-Great!
P-This is how my children deals with their problem. I don't know what they would do without each other.
(Everyone laughs)
R-Theresa, get change and we will see you inside the church.
T-Okay!
S-Let's go
(They all leave except Theresa) (Theresa gets changed and her brother, Miguel, walks her down the aisle.)
Priest-I pronounce you man and wife. You may kiss the bride
(Ethan lifts up the veil and they kiss each other on the lips)
(At the after party)
L-Rachael want to dance the tango with me?
R-Sure, I guess but I warn you that I am not very good
L-Oh well! It's for fun!
Luis thinks- I wish you were as good as Sheridan. Oh well!
(Luis and Rachael do the tango on the dance floor)
S-Ethan, look at her. She can't dance the tango at all
(Sheridan points at Rachael)
S-I wish he asked me to instead.
E-Look who is jealous!
S: I AM NOT! She just sucks that's all.
T-Sheridan, why don't you ask Luis to do the tango with you?
P-Yeah
(Sheridan sees a guy walking towards her. Little does she know that this guy called David is the guy who raped her)
D-Do you want to dance, madam?
S-I.I guess!
(Sheridan shrugs her shoulders at Pilar, Theresa and Ethan)
D-Great!
(David leads Sheridan to the dance floor. He puts his arm around her waist and pulls her closer) (They dance to the slow music) (As this is happening Pilar and Luis is talking in a room)
P-So have you found the person who raped Sheridan?
L-What?
P-You know how Sheridan got raped?
(Luis stands there with his mouth open)
(Back on the dance floor Sheridan starts to remember the dreadful night when she got raped. He then remembers that David was the guy. The rapist.) (Panic started to creep up to her) (Sheridan tries to pull apart from David but he is holding her too tightly)
S-Let go of me please!
(Tears start to follow down Sheridan's cheeks)
D-What's the matter? I am not going to hurt you.
(Sheridan screams and everyone and everything goes silent) (David runs off to his car and drives off)
T-Oh no! I can't find my pearl earrings! I can't get married without them! Everything is going so wrong!
(Theresa looks around the room and tears begin to fall on her face)
S-Take deep breathes. I am sure they are here somewhere!
