Coming up with the perfect vows
Ryan walked in with Marissa following. They saw Kirsten already in the kitchen. "Hey guys" she said. "Hey Kirsten" they said. "Ah Ryan Seth's here he's waiting in the pool house" Kirsten said.
"Well I'll let you get to your planning. See you later" he said leaving. Marissa smiled watching him leave while Kirsten stared at her. "So Marissa when should we expect Julie?" She said. "Hello" they heard and then the closing of the front door. "I'd say right about now" Marissa said not sounding too enthused. Kirsten laughed and they went to meet her.
Ryan crossed the yard and went up the steps and into the pool house. "Thank god man. God how long do dress fittings actually take?" He said obnoxiously. "Don't ask" Ryan said throwing his keys on the breakfast bar. "So where'd you drop Marissa?" he said.
"She's here going over the plans for the shower with your mom and Julie" Ryan replied. "You guys seem to be spending a lot of time together" Seth said. "We're not together now" he said. "Yeah but you are in the same house" Seth pointed out.
"Seth lets just get to the vows" Ryan said. "Really it's that serious already you want to write vows" he said sarcastically. "I meant your vows and you keep talking the only help you'll be getting is from captain oats you got me?" Ryan said being completely serious.
"Loud and clear. So here's what I have so far" he said passing him a sheet of paper. Ryan opened and scanned the sheet. "So what do you think?" Seth said. "I think you can't compare Summer to a tulip" Ryan said.
"Come on it took forever for me to come up with that" Seth whined. "Seth" he said. "Okay fine but it seemed good when I wrote it" Seth said. "Look it shouldn't be this hard you love her so just speak from you heart" Ryan said. "That's the problem I'm not good with writing it to paper" Seth said.
Ryan thought about it. "You know what why don't we take a break go to the diner. Then that'll give you some time to think about what you do want to say" Ryan convinced him. "Alright sounds like a plan" Seth said. "Come on I'll drive" Ryan said and with that they both laughed the house.
"So it's going to be at the yacht club tomorrow at six" Julie said. "You talked to the caterers?" Kirsten said. "Yeah and they're setting up at one" Marissa said. "The cake?" Julie said. "It's already ordered and I got Ryan picking that up in the morning" Kirsten said looking over a guest list.
"Great. So what about the flowers?" Julie said. "Also delivered to the club early tomorrow afternoon" Kirsten said. "The guest list?" Marissa threw in. "Everyone has responded except Anna and Luke can't make it but Luke is coming to the wedding. Anna however can not attend" Kirsten said.
"Great" Marissa said with a smile. "So is that it?" Julie said. "So we're doing a dinner party shower?" Marissa said. "I thought it would be different. What do you think Marissa?" Julie said. "Sounds great mom" She said satisfied. "Okay well I'm going to double check the food list" Kirsten said leaving Julie with Marissa.
Marissa rechecked the guest list. She looked up when she caught Julie staring. "What's wrong mom?" She said. "Nothing it just seems that the time in Hawaii has really done you some good" Julie said with a smile. Marissa nodded.
"I'm sure your father loved every minute of it even though I was here missing you" Julie said. Marissa smiled. "I missed you too mom" She said rather sincerely because lets face it that was the truth. Marissa had missed her mother regardless of what's happened between them over the years. Julie smiled. "So come on I'm sure there's something we're over looking" Marissa said and they began rechecking the plans for tomorrow.
After eating at the diner they walked down the pier. "So your head clear enough yet buddy?" Ryan said. Seth shrugged. "I am doing the right thing right? I mean we're not too young to be getting married like Summer's dad thinks right?" Seth said second guessing himself. Ryan laughed at his nervousness.
"Seth listen to yourself your asking me if Dr. Robert's is right. Come on man you guys love each other. You got down on one knee and proposed obviously you did it for a reason" Ryan said looking at him. "Yeah because I love Summer" Seth said.
"So what's the problem? Look all of this is just last minute wedding jitters but be happy because you guys deserve this. Like you once told her "It's always been Summer"" Ryan said reminding him. "And it always will be" Seth said. "So there you go" Ryan said.
"I guess I'm just freaking out for no reason" Seth said. "But there is the vows that still have yet to be dealt with" Seth said. Ryan nodded and his cell went off. "Hello" Ryan said.
"Hey I'm still at your house and Summer's on her way. She thought maybe you and Seth would want to hang out here for awhile" Marissa said. "Yeah but we got to figure out the whole vow thing first" Ryan said. "What's there to figure out?" Marissa said confused.
"Well Seth knows how he feels he just can't seem to write in on paper" Ryan said. Marissa thought about it. "So why doesn't he just ad lib it. Seth was always a person for that" She suggested. Ryan stared at Seth.
"What?" Seth said. "Nothing. Yeah so we'll be there in like twenty minutes but thanks for the suggestion. I think you got something there" Ryan said. "Anytime see ya later" She said hanging up. He closed his phone. "Ryan what?" Seth said. "Marissa suggested you just going with the flow without writing anything down" Ryan said running the idea passed him.
"She wants me to wing it?" Seth said shocked. "Well yeah you've always been good with the adlibbing and you know how you feel. So maybe it would better if you told her straight from your own mouth rather than writing it down" Ryan said trying to convince Seth.
"Cooper's a genius. I should've gone to her in the first place" Seth said knowing it was great idea. "Hey" Ryan said insulted. "I'm sorry bro but you're not exactly one for words" Seth said. "I'll remember that the next time you ask me a favor" Ryan said sarcastically.
"Seriously you should ask Marissa to help you write your best man speech" Seth said. Ryan glared. "Let's go Summer wants us to hang out at the house" Ryan said. "Think about it Ryan it could work. I'm sure Marissa could come up with something" Seth said following. "Seth" Ryan warned. "Okay I'll shut up now" he said going to get in the car.
Back at the Cohen's Summer walked into the yard to see Marissa sitting on one of the chairs. "Hey" Summer said sitting down next to her. "So there on their way" Marissa said. "Cool. So what exactly where they doing?" Summer said. "Seth needed a little help with his vows" Marissa said.
"And he asked for Ryan's help" Summer said understanding. "Yeah but I think they figured it out" Marissa said. "You told him to wing it huh" Summer said. Marissa laughed. "How did you know that?" Marissa said.
"Hello Coop we are best friends and Ryan although I love him isn't great with words and Seth is great at just speaking directly rather than putting it all down on paper" Summer said. "Yeah that's what I said. Why they didn't come up with that already is beyond me" She said.
"Coop they're guys and sometimes a woman's opinion is needed" Summer said. Marissa smiled and giggled. "Hey" Seth said coming in the back yard and going over to kiss Summer.
Marissa looked on. Ryan was right behind Seth. "So how'd your Seth/Ryan time go?" Summer said looking up at Seth. "It went pretty well actually" Seth said. "Actually to be fare it was a little Seth/Ryan/Marissa time too" Ryan said. Marissa smiled at his comment. "So Marissa enlightened you on what to do with your vows?" Summer said looking at Seth.
Seth looked at Marissa. "Way to go Cooper who told you to blab" Seth said. "Hey she knew so don't blame me" Marissa said holding up her hands in defense. "It was kind of obvious Seth. I mean how could you not know that you're better at words when you just don't think about it?" Summer said.
"You knew that too?" Seth said. "Duh Cohen I mean why else do you think you're so funny" Summer said. "You see that Ryan she thinks I'm funny" Seth said. "So funny she's marrying you" Ryan joked. Seth laughed sarcastically. "You know what I think that's enough comedy out of you for one day" Seth said to Ryan.
"I could go on" Ryan said. The girls laughed and Seth glared at Ryan and he broke out into a laugh. "I'll be back I'm going to see If dad needs help in the kitchen" Seth said. "Seth Cohen doing manual labor" Summer mocked.
He looked at Ryan. "You see what you started Atwood?" He said leaving them behind. Ryan laughed. "So how was his first attempt at writing the vows really?" Summer said waiting for an answer. Ryan grinned.
"Well if it helps he compared you to a tulip. Which is sort of endearing if you think about it" Ryan said sarcastically. A tulip?" Marissa said amazed. Summer laughed shaking her head in disbelief.
"What can I say that's my Cohen for you" Summer said sounding like a girl completely in love.. Marissa and Ryan looked at each other and laughed. "So Coop how was the dress?" Summer said. Marissa smiled. "It's great" She said. "See I knew you'd like it" Summer said and the girls continued to gush over it while Ryan went to go find Seth.
