Annalisa: The engagement photos were quite nice, donât you think girls? You were a little washed out, dear, but not much can be done of that.
Philip: I thought you looked beautiful, Marionette.
Marionette: Thank you, daddy.
Claudia: Who knew that you could actually dress up for an occasion. Mom could never get you to stay in any of our old hand-me-down dresses.
Amoretta: Do you remember when we went to that dinner party when we were twelve and Marni wore those scrappy old jeans and dirty t-shirt under her dress?
Claudia: Yes! They were always covered in dirt or mud from you and Marcel playing in the river. Itâs a miracle you both didnât get warts from all those frogs you touched.
Marcel: You say that like itâs a bad thing. All that stuff was way more fun than the tea parties and hair braiding you two did all day.
David: You never told me about any of that before.
Amoretta: Sheâs probably still a bit embarrassed by all of it because I told her that no boy was ever going to fall in love with a girl with mud on her face.
Claudia: But look at you now. The ugly duckling of the family finally grew up.
Amoretta: Maybe not into a swan, though. Oh relax, Marni. Weâre only having a bit of fun with you. Youâve always been far too sensitive for our taste.
Annalisa: Alright girls, thatâs enough. David, can you tell us anything about the wedding?
David: We havenât planned anything yet, but-
Marionette: We were thinking of St. Bernardâs Cathedral. I know you wanted to get married there, Amoretta, but you couldnât get it approved on time.
Amoretta: Hmm. If I could do it over again, Iâd probably do a destination wedding. Maybe Eloda. I hear the weather is beautiful there. Much better than here in the city.
Marionette: Never say never.
Philip: Okay, well I donât know about any of you, but Iâm a bit famished. Maybe we should order, girls? Honey?
Annalisa: Nothing for me, dear. Iâm trying out that new fasting diet.
