Cut back to the main room, where the band is swinging into a rendition of "Here Comes the Bride." My boyfriend glances up from his book and asks, "What, is Snoopy getting married?" Heh. It is very Vince Guaraldi. Tiffany and her sister, the strip-a-licious Brandi, appear, and stroll down the aisle. We zoom in for a close-up of Katie and Jessie, then Jake and the girls at the front, and then Lily, Rick, and Eli. Everyone looks happy; nothing to report, really. Tiffany reaches the front and passes her bouquet to Zoe. Zoe hands her a book with a red ribbon tied to its cover. The officiator starts in with the welcoming speech.
The officiator's words, "where we come to witness these two hearts unite," continue as a voice-over as we cut to the ballpark. A cab pulls up, and Karen clambers out of the backseat. She surveys the quiet park, and looks absolutely radiant in her magenta pashmina scarf.
Tiffany reads from the book: "From the window, I see her bend to the roses, holding close to the bloom, so as not to prick her fingers. With the other hand, she clips. Pauses and clips. More alone than I had known." Jake watches her adoringly, and the camera pans to Lily and Rick, sitting with a gap between them. Lily soaks in the words and the occasion, while Rick looks full of remorse.
Karen fills her lungs with air, and continues scanning the ball diamond, as Tiffany voice-overs, "She will not look up, not now." The camera cuts to where Karen's eyes stop, and we see Henry stroll out from behind a building. Tiffany continues: "She's alone with the roses and with something else, I can only think, not say." Karen smiles faintly as she sets off in pursuit of Henry.
The scene dissolves back to Booklovers, as Jake takes the book from Tiffany and begins to read: "I know the names of those bushes, given for our late wedding: Love, Honor, Cherish." Jessie studies Katie's profile, then reaches out to take her hand. Jake continues: "This last, the rose she holds out to me suddenly, having entered the house between glances." Sam reaches for Judy's hand, and clutches it between both of his. Judy smiles at him.
Karen draws up to Henry as Jake voice-overs: "I press my nose to it, draw the sweetness in, let it cling. The scent of promise, treasure." Henry's crouching near one of the bases, rubbing dust on his hands. He glances up, sensing Karen standing there. Jake voice-overs: "My hand on her wrist, to bring her close. Her eyes, green as river moss." Henry stands and rubs his palms on the front of his jeans.
