"Wow, congratulations." "Well it is Christmas, the time for giving." "Great venue Brie, how did you ever book us a mansion?" "I told them our paper would write an article on it's history." "Clever girl." "As your editor, I demand you take a break and enjoy the party." "Thank you." "I will." "As soon as the kids get the gifts and before this eggnog kicks in." "Have you talked to Eddie?" "No, he's late as usual." "Why?" "What secret are you hiding?" "I thought you were an art director, not a journalist." "Phil." "Okay one hint." "Future." "Really?" "Merry Christmas." "Merry Christmas." "Great party." "Very festive." "This all you?" "Thank you, and yes." "I'm pretty much the Christmas expert." "More like Christmas queen." "One of your many talents." "Have a Christmas surprise." "Yeah?" "I got in." "Speos in Paris." "The masters program." "They finally accepted me." "I start in January." "Wow." "This is so..." "This is great." "Congratulations." "When did you find out?" "Today." "Phil knows because they called him as a reference." "You inspired me to chase my dreams." "This is big for us." "Real game changer." "Yeah, it is." "Merry Christmas everyone." "I just want to make a quick announcement." "Speos, that prestigious photography school, thinks that my best bud, Eddie Chapman, has talent and has invited him into their Masters Program." "Congrats!" "Our loss, is Paris's gain!" "Hey." "Hi." "Why'd you leave?" "You're better at parties." "I needed some air." "What's wrong?" "Nothing." "I'm just tired." "Tell me that again." "I'm missing you already." "If you don't want me to go to Paris I won't." "No." "I want you to follow your dreams." "You deserve this and this is an opportunity of a lifetime." "Just wasn't expecting it." "I love you." "And a part of loving someone is letting them go." "I'm not letting go." "Paris is one year." "You have one more year at NYU." "Then we'll start our life together." "That's my plan." "Since when do you plan?" "My dream then." "I'll be back before you know it." "How can you be so sure?" "What if Paris sweeps your heart away?" "Impossible." "You have my heart." "Promise?"

"No." "I find it inspiring." "Especially when doing a Christmas campaign." "Okay, so photos 9 and 12 go to print." "And photos 11 to 18 digital." "And use the filter from 15 on all of them." "'Cause Christmas is supposed to be soft not blinding." "Okay, Got it." "And the text?" "Instead of "So much holiday fun, "Snow much holiday fun."" "Under the logo in that curly font that you like." "I need you to send me proofs ASAP, and make sure that Claudia gets a copy." "Subtle hint to the boss that you want a partnership for Christmas?" "Just keeping her in the loop." "And a gentle reminder I'm the most loyal and best Art Director she has." "You are the Christmas queen." "Everything okay?" "Yeah, it's just someone used to call me that in college." "You're blushing." "It must be a good story." "No it is hardly worth telling." "Okay graphics, and I will meet you in the conference room." "Hey, Claudia." "Is everything okay?" "Brie, I need your Christmas magic on a new project." "That sounds urgent." "Modern Era Bridal needs an emergency reshoot on their upcoming "Christmas Weddings" digital cover story." "What happened?" "Marketing team they hired was a disaster." "They've decided to cut their losses, get ahold of someone who can pull off a fabulous shoot in a very short time frame and your name came up." "Well I'm flattered, but weddings?" "That's not really my thing." "But you know Christmas, and how to capture it." "That's true but..." "Then it's settled." "I'll close the deal." "They want a full launch Christmas day." "Christmas?" "That's like less three weeks away." "A shoot like this takes at least a month." "That's why it's called an emergency reshoot." "They've already started teasing this campaign." "The show must go on." "Christmas is the number one day for marriage proposals." "Exactly!" "And when all those excited brides-to-be start planning their nuptials," "Modern Era Bridal wants to be the one setting the trends." "I do love trend setting." "And it's not an actual wedding." "It's one that just happens to looks amazing on camera." "Yes!" "With all the things people need to pull off a Merry Matrimony!" "Feel free to use that." "Okay, I'm going to need a really great photographer." "Done." "You'll be working with Eddie Chapman." "Wow!" "He's like a huge fashion photographer." "His photo blog of street portraits is all the rage on Tumbler and Instagram." "He's flying in from Paris just for this." "We're very lucky." "Okay, well if he's such the "rage", why is he flying all the way here to do a Christmas shoot for us?" "A favor to Isabella Elias, new CEO of Modern Era Bridal." "Word on the social scene is they're very close." "Mr. Chapman will be here to meet the team tomorrow." "If we pull this off, Isabella Elias has agreed to give us an exclusive contract with all access to..." "Elias Publications." "No I got it;" "I can see the big picture." "Good." "Then I'll have no problem convincing the board to give you that partnership you've been not-so subtly hinting at." "Thank you." "Okay, well get to work." "Alright Stanley, hit it." "The season has officially begun." "Brie, Christmas is happening in the living room, not on the phone." "Sorry I'm done." "It's just this shoot is so important and I have so much to do before meeting with the photographer." "Oh you mean Eddie." "It's not like you two are strangers." "Dad I haven't seen him in seven years." "Might as well be." "Be careful honey." "Old flames can reignite very easily." "No, him and I would have never lasted." "He's too carefree." "I need structure and stability." "I am so glad to hear you say that." "Do you remember Jared Galligan?" "His family used to live down the street from us when you were young." "Hear me out." "I ran into him last week." "He is a handsome man now." "Very smart." "Good, stable job." "Anyway, I told him you were single, and looking, and..." "This is officially my nightmare before Christmas." "Give him a chance." "Life is about balance and it's time you added some love." "Morning." "Your mom called." "She said it's my responsibility to make sure that you're out by five." "She's adamant about this one..." "Don't you dare make Jared wait." "He's a nice boy, I mean it Brie." "You want to keep this?" "No." "Message received." "My mom is trying to get me a fiancé for Christmas." "Here I am asking my mom for a coffee maker." "I know she means well." "Which is why I'm going to give Jared an honest chance." "Here's to moms knowing best." "That's why you're wearing your lucky heels." "I thought it was for Eddie Chapman." "What are you talking about?" "You had an odd look on your face when his name came up yesterday." "Sit, we have a huge shoot on our hands." "Let's focus on that shall we?" "Your make-up looks different." "You contoured!" "So what?" "I have a date after work." "Is it too much?" "Ahem." "Okay no, right now I need you to get me a list of the top bridal designers..." "Already done and drop boxed." "Jared is at 5 pm, why get so glam before 5?" "What's is going on with Eddie Chapman?" "We dated at NYU." "And?" "And he went to Paris to get his masters and I stayed in New York." "Just a typical long distance relationship causality." "Now he's back and you're single." "As of now." "But who knows, maybe Jared's my husband Mr. Right," "Prince Charming." "Excluding that possibility." "This could be a twist of fate, a second chance at love." "No, fate twisted us for good reason." "To have careers like we have it takes a lot of time and dedication." "We would have never lasted." "True." "You worked your way up from intern to partner in seven years." "That's impressive." "May not have happened like that in Paris." "Because of the language barrier." "Not talent, of course." "Partnership is still to be determined." "Which is why I can't have anyone in the office knowing about Eddie." "Especially Claudia, I don't want her to think that I would let my personal life affect my business." "It's just really unprofessional." "Don't worry." "It's in the vault." "Thank you." "Oh hey!" "Come here!" "Where is he?" "Claudia intercepted him at reception." "We're supposed to meet them in the conference room." "I thought you cared about the project, not Eddie?" "Doesn't mean I can't look nice." "You do look nice." "Okay, yeah." "Let's do it." "I look forward to working with your team," "I've heard great things." "Yeah well, you're gonna be impressed, I think." "Brie, it's good to see you." "Oh it's nice to see you too." "You two know each other?" "We went to college together at NYU." "Right." "We worked together before." "Student newspaper." "Brie, why didn't you say so?" "I forgot." "My mind was flooded so with Christmas ideas." "From table settings to decorations, cake." "She is the Christmas queen." "Is she ever." "Well with the time crunch we need to pull off our own Christmas miracle." "And that's exactly what I'm hoping for." "Sorry I'm late." "Isabella, meet my team." "Our Art Director;" "Brie Traverston." "Hi." "And her assistant Megan Hocking." "How do you do?" "I cannot thank you two enough for taking on this challenge." "I mean I was beginning to think that saving this campaign would be impossible." "Well after our shoot every bride is gonna want to have Christmas wedding." "Good and maybe we can inspire a some proposals as well." "Oh excuse me, I have to take this." "Now I am traveling all next week, but Eddie knows how to get a hold of me." "And the fact that I like to give my opinion." "And we'll talk about your art show later." "I'll show you out." "Thank you." "I have few phone calls of my own to make." "Eddie, welcome to the team." "Thank you." "I'm really happy to be here." "I'll check in later." "So." "So, let's get started." "Great, thank you, I'll let them know." "Spoke to Vanguard studios." "They've only got Wednesday, Thursday," "Friday open next week." "Okay good let's book them." "We can definitely shoot the reception there." "Studio will be easy to light." "What about the ceremony?" "I have some ideas for the locations." "Not a studio though, something more scenic." "So, okay, if we shoot the wedding ceremony next week and are no delays, we can get the photos uploaded to Modern Era Bridal early." "Yeah, but our deadline's the 24th." "Yeah, but that doesn't mean you should just push it to the last second." "That makes it more exciting." "No that gives you an ulcer." "Some things never change." "No wonder you're at the top of your game." "Not that I'm surprised." "Well you haven't done too bad for yourself either." "That sounds like you've checked in on me." "Or at least seen my work?" "I read magazines." "So, classmates huh?" "I always thought it was a little bit more than that." "Look my partnership rides on this campaign." "I want Isabella and Claudia to know how serious I am and that work is number one." "Partnership?" "Brie that's great." "Congratulations." "Well I don't have it yet." "You will." "I have faith in you." "Thanks." "So you understand why the past has got to stay in the past right?" "Right." "Can't change that." "Okay good." "So, these are some of the locations." "I'm leaning towards the Davenport." "What do you think?" "Weddings aren't really my thing so whatever you think's romantic and available." "We'll make it beautiful." "I guess it's all riding on availability." "Without that, you really can't commit." "Yeah, but sometimes you need to visit the location, let them know you're serious..." "About shooting there." "Yeah, but if a location has a verbal agreement, and then all of a sudden just changes their mind." "They can't expect a production just to change the entire concept just like that." "Locations should be considerate." "Everything okay?" "Wonderful." "Great." "Brie, it's five o'clock." "Thanks for the time." "Oh it's five o'clock." "I totally forgot, I gotta go." "Why?" "I have a date." "A meeting..." "I didn't mean a date..." "A meeting that's a dinner date." "Well, you have fun, and see you ladies tomorrow." "How's it going for real?" "Weird." "Seeing him again." "But it's complicated and I'm really late, so call me if you need anything." "It's gorgeous." "Yeah, uh, I woulda got roses, but your mom said that you really love Christmas." "Awe that's so thoughtful, thank you." "Yeah?" "Oh I just, I can't get over how great you look." "Oh, thank you." "I mean, it's kinda crazy, last time I saw you, you were wearing a super hero swim suit, laughing your way down a slip 'n slide." "I had a super hero swim suit?" "Oh yeah, yeah." "Pretty much made you the coolest." "I can't believe you remember that." "Yeah well I'm a sponge for details." "Comes in handy as a pharmacist." "That's an interesting job." "It can be." "Nothing too exciting, but great job security." "Unless I mix something up." "Which I don't do because..." "You're a sponge for detail." "Exactly." "I'm starving." "Should we order." "Yeah of course." "Hot chocolate please." "Phil?" "Eddie." "Hey man." "I can't believe it's been like seven years." "Something you want to tell me?" "It's for the kids." "I'm still working on my saint hood, thank you." "Something you want to tell me?" "It's for work." "Oh right, how's Brie?" "I mean, how's work?" "It's good." "So is she." "That's it?" "Did you talk?" "We're planning a wedding." "For Isabella's magazine." "I don't know man." "I know you like adventure, but it's crazy mixing professional and personal lives." "Brie is on a date as we speak." "So it's all professional." "She made that crystal clear." "So what now?" "This wedding shoot could get Brie a partnership." "Isabella's sales will sky rocket." "Yeah, but what about you?" "I still have my show." "And New York at Christmas." "Nothing better than that." "Well here's to having you home for the holidays." "Cheers." "It's about time." "So, your Christmas wedding." "You're gonna have Santa Claus, Christmas trees?" "Christmas trees, yes." "Santa Claus, no." "Why not Santa?" "Because he's this larger than life character." "He'll totally upstage the bride." "Maybe." "Or what if he brings the bride and groom together?" "You know, true love for Christmas." "Yeah, I don't think so, that's a tall order." "Do you date a lot?" "Uh, every now and then." "You?" "For a while there I was doing the online thing." "You know, a lot of first dates, not a lot of seconds." "And then I thought enough's enough," "I'm gonna let fate handle it." "That's when I met your mom." "So, point for fate." "You don't believe in fate?" "I believe that we make things happen ourselves." "Okay." "So what do you do for fun, besides work?" "I love work." "I mean my mom is trying to get me to have a little bit more of a balance." "How's that going for ya?" "I'm learning." "You know, but at work at least I feel like I'm in control." "Love is risky." "You break your heart you're never the same." "Well yeah, I mean nobody wants to get hurt." "But the wound is where the light gets in." "That's very true." "Cheers." "Yeah." "Hey, mom." "Hey, honey." "How'd it go with Jared tonight?" "Angels didn't sing if that's what you're asking." "Are you gonna see him again?" "I am so busy with work right now and my schedule is crazy..." "Brie, you have to make room for love." "I'm trying." "But with Jared, I feel like I'm gonna have to try too hard." "Give Jared a chance." "He seems to be very interested in you." "Mom, I'm not just gonna like a guy because he likes me." "I'm not telling you to, but it's a good starting point." "Yeah, I guess." "Is this because Eddie's back in the picture?" "Eddie is not back in any kind of picture," "I don't know what you're talking about." "Uh, anyway I gotta get to bed." "Sweet dreams, sweetheart." "I love you." "I love you too." "Lastly, have you checked on the Davenport?" "I really need to lock it down for the ceremony." "Okay, yeah, thank you, call if you need me..." "Oh Sorry, Santa." "Brie?" "Phil!" "Oh my gosh, how are you?" "Wow!" "You're Santa." "Well, one month out of the year." "And the other eleven?" "I work for them." "The Children's Charity House." "Wow you really grew up to change the world." "By marriage at least." "Mrs. Claus." "My wife Julie and I." "Yeah, we started this a few years ago." "Having a blast, love these kids." "Hey, you and Eddie are back together again huh?" "Working I mean." "Yeah, how did you know?" "Well we hung out last night." "Thanks for the invite." "He told me you were busy." "Look, let's rain check, and you can meet Julie." "I would love that." "Yeah, we do shoots during the days next week, but the nights are free." "Great." "I'll talk to Eddie." "It'll be like old times." "Hey." "What are you doing here?" "Megan told me where you were headed." "Thought maybe I could help." "I have a good eye for color." "I promise." "No poinsettias." "We can be more creative than that." "Oh I love it." "Thought you might." "Even after all this time." "I still remember pewter is your favorite." "Would you like a gold star?" "Still funny too." "Good to see some things never change." "I saw Phil earlier." "He said you guys hung out last night." "He was my date." "Very romantic in his Santa suit." "How was your date meeting?" "Good." "Care to elaborate?" "No not really." "Why?" "'Cause I'm an ex..." "Classmate?" "That was a long time ago." "Yes, I understand you're over the past, so why not discuss the present?" "Or we could just keep all the discussions business related." "Fine." "Fine." "Hey." "What do you think about pine cones?" "Those are kindle cones and I love them." "If a fire's low, you just throw one of those on a flame and it rekindles it." "That's all it takes?" "I think we could..." "Use them in the arrangement." "Right." "Brings an earthy feel." "They're also great party favors." "Come h" "Come here." "Ta da." "Okay, so, we can put lights in the tree, ribbon, a star on top." "So basically a regular Christmas tree." "But I have an idea." "I want the bride and groom to put a special ornament on the tree together." "The guests can put the gifts under the tree." "Yeah!" "So is this the one?" "Are we committing?" "Not yet." "I want to be sure." "Remember when I forced you to go camping in the Grand Canyon?" "Okay for starters you didn't force me." "It was cold and we had reservations at a hotel." "Who needs five stars when you can have five million?" "It was gorgeous." "You're always pushing me to try new things." "And you pushed me to chase my dreams." "Why didn't you call?" "I thought you were mad at me." "You know, especially when you didn't show up for Christmas in Paris." "You were the one who said you were coming home for Christmas." "Then I got my first gig and had to stay." "I could never get a hold of you." "You should answer that." "Hello." "Hey Isabella." "So, how's it working with Brie?" "We have fun together for a bit and it starts to feel like old times." "Then..." "Crash and burn." "After school, I thought if I could get one big job." "Make a name for myself, I could come back and sweep Brie off her feet." "We're all idealist after graduation." "And then the real world kicks in." "Christmas was always our holiday." "Is that why you came back now?" "Yeah." "I guess I'm hoping Christmas will help soften any hard feelings." "I think it will." "I don't know." "I get the feeling she didn't even miss me." "Well the first Christmas you were gone Brie started this thing called the Christmas wish tree on campus." "All the decorations were made by people missing loved ones." "She wanted a way they could still send their love during the holidays." "She never said anything, but I think it's 'cause she missed you." "I promised her my heart once, I meant it." "Hey, you at home?" "Yeah." "Why?" "I'm downstairs." "Downstairs, downstairs?" "Yeah." "Can you buzz me up?" "Umm..." "Never mind." "Someone's coming, I'll see you in a second." "Hey." "Come on in." "Still taking work home I see." "Yeah, I'm sorry this place is such a mess." "It's nice." "Chocolat le chaud." "Sounds fancy in french." "Everything does." "Hope you don't mind me stopping by." "Claudia gave me your address." "Oh no of course." "Um, here, sit, make yourself at home." "Thank you for this." "About this afternoon, bringing up the past." "Yeah, I shouldn't have done that." "I hate bickering with you, it's no fun." "I agree." "So we're okay?" "Yeah." "Good." "Well I have some ideas to run by you for the shoot." "Ooh la la, what is this?" "Your favorite." "Oh." "Thank you." "So what are your ideas?" "Here." "For the reception." "White lights, white draped across the ceiling, like a starry night sky." "I love that." "Luminaries accent each table, like moon light." "And a kind of blue glow, reminiscent of a light mist at the break of day." "A winter wonderland." "Romantic?" "Very much so." "So you think in light?" "like romance, light is more than just what you see." "It's a feeling." "It can be cold, hot." "Something unexpected." "Well not everyone loves surprises." "But that's what Christmas is all about." "It's about a lot of things." "You're right." "As usual." "I just want every picture to have that intangible quality." "Almost hypnotizing, drawing you in but you don't know why." "It makes you feel something." "Like love?" "Exactly." "Perfect for a Christmas wedding." "This is delicious by the way." "I know we didn't end on the best of terms." "I'll take the blame on that." "Don't." "Our careers just took us in different directions." "Or continents." "That too." "It's fine." "I'm glad our paths got to cross again." "Me too." "It's Isabella." "I have to go." "Yeah, sure." "Of course." "Here." "Thanks." "Bye." "Bye." "Go have a great time." "Thanks." "Morning." "Morning." "I see the decorations arrived." "Yeah, the tree's already at the studio." "So I want to get as much organized here, so that we're not in the crew's way." "We have so much to prep." "How's Isabella?" "Good." "I filled her in over dinner last night." "She's excited to see it come together." "Good." "I'm so happy we're doing the reception next week." "The set-up is huge." "Did you lock a ceremony location?" "I did." "Davenport." "Megan has all the info, and we've done a couple shoots there in the past, and they're super easy to work with." "Perfect." "You're right." "We could finish this ahead of deadline." "That would make Isabella's Christmas." "Well, providing there's no major disaster." "And people say planning a wedding's hard." "Hi." "Jared!" "Hey, what are you doing here?" "Sorry to interrupt, I found something that might be useful for your wedding." "So I thought I'd drop it off." "Thank you." "Oh It's beautiful." "Are these twin flames?" "Yeah." "You were how you wanted the bride and groom to hang an ornament together." "I thought this may be a nice option." "Very nice." "Oh, thank you, that is so nice of you." "Oh, Jared I'm sorry." "This is Eddie Chapman, our new photographer." "Eddie Chapman, yeah, no, I know your work." "Your street portraits are my favorite." "Thank you." "Brie, you said you didn't work with any well-known photographers." "That's why I love working with Brie." "She keeps me humble." "Hey, also I was wondering if maybe you wanted to get lunch?" "I can't." "Today is so crazy." "Sure." "But how about a coffee break?" "I'll take that." "Downstairs, yeah." "Alright, I'll see you in a little bit." "Nice meeting you Eddie." "You too." "Jared." "Where'd Brie go?" "Coffee break with Jared." "That was Jared?" "He's cute." "What do you have there?" "Apparently Tie the Knot bakery is so exclusive they will only see couples with short notice." "Media requires a months notice." "So I lied and said you were engaged." "Also, you're getting married on Christmas." "Please don't be mad." "But it was the only way I could get you in today." "No, great work." "It's perfect." "Appointment for Traverston?" "She means, Mr. and Mrs. Chapman." "You're having a Christmas wedding?" "Yes, finally after seven years she said yes." "I just couldn't handle anymore of his begging." "Well go ahead look around, I'll bring some tasting samples." "They only see engaged couples." "It's how Megan could get us in." "Well in that case, honey, I'm gonna go take look around." "Oh, Eddie." "That one's perfect." "But darling, I ordered us this one." "She loves my jokes." "Care for a taste?" "Yes." "You believed me." "Well you have juvenile taste." "It's part of my charm." "Don't even think about it or you're fired." "She means the wedding's off." "Mmm." "You have a little bit..." "Oh I do?" "You have a little bit..." "Yes you do." "I have something on my face?" "You like?" "Yes, we'll take it." "You two." "You're cute." "Like George and Mary Bailey." "You want the moon?" "I'll throw a lasso around it and I'll bring it on down just say the word." "I'll write you up." "Silly boy." "Boy?" "Silly boy." "Did you hear that?" "Silly boy." "This is pretty good." "This is amazing." "Wow." "Just, wow." "Isn't it?" "Brie is the master." "Where is our Christmas Queen?" "Um." "Hey." "Do you guys like it?" "I love it!" "She speaks for both of us." "Wow." "Brie you were absolutely right." "Every bride in the world is gonna want to be a Christmas bride." "I know I do." "Okay I just need a place where I can make phone calls for about an hour." "And then you will have my undivided attention." "Follow me." "There's an empty office." "Okay." "We'll catch up." "Should we take some pictures?" "Yes." "I think I wanna start over here." "Okay." "Okay, you guys have this." "This is fantastic." "Um, I will catch up with you later?" "Why don't we try some dancing?" "Think we got it?" "These are better than I imagined." "Ho, ho, ho Merry Christmas!" "Phil!" "Hey." "Look at this winter wonderland." "I feel like I should be wearing my Santa suit." "I'm so glad you could make it." "We just wrapped." "Good, do you guys wanna do some dinner and then some ice skating?" "I can't." "What?" "I've got a previous engagement." "But I came all the way down here." "New invention Phil, it's called a phone." "Come on." "Nobody calls anymore." "I sent a text." "I drafted a text." "Close enough." "Look, whatever you've got going, cancel it." "Wish I could, but I'm locked in on this one." "Next time." "I promise." "Brie?" "You in?" "I can't I have so much work to do." "I thought you loved ice skating." "Press pause on work and go have some fun." "Yeah, but we're on a deadline and Isabella's expecting..." "Don't worry about Isabella." "Look, I can upload the photos." "And we can go over everything with a fresh eye tomorrow." "Okay, I'm in." "Good." "You deserve a break." "I look forward to hearing about it tomorrow." "Here, I'll help you with your things." "We'll be right back." "We're sharing a cab." "Bye." "Disappointed that Eddie's not going?" "What?" "No." "He has a life." "Do you think the rumors are true?" "About him and Isabella dating?" "I don't know." "Would it matter if they were?" "No." "I'm just curious, that's all." "I mean she's so affectionate with him." "They make such a beautiful couple." "Same way that you and Jared make a really beautiful couple?" "Okay, that's completely different." "Jared and I don't even know each other." "I wouldn't even call it "dating."" "Brie, do me a favor." "Go have fun and enjoy the holiday season." "I haven't been ice-skating in like 15 years." "Okay." "I will see you two on the ice." "Jules, whatever happened to skate by your man?" "Oh, baby you know I love you." "But I love this song more." "Okay guys, let's go." "You two are so cute." "You're so in love." "It like we're connected." "That's how it should be." "How's it going with you and Eddie?" "Great." "I mean at first I thought it was gonna be a little awkward, but it's been fun." "I know what you're thinking, but I'm not oblivious of our history." "Things are different now." "And I'm up for this partnership and I am not gonna jeopardize that." "Well, just remember, sometimes you can't stop the river." "Come on, let's skate." "Hey, where ya going?" "Nowhere." "I thought you had a prior engagement?" "Was able to get out of it." "Skate with me?" "Yeah." "Hey, Chapman, you made it!" "I see why you love this tradition." "I'm so good at this." "There's something I've always wondered about." "The Christmas party at NYU." "When I told you about Paris." "You said you thought the surprise was something else." "What was it?" "Umm..." "What does it matter now?" "Everything happened the way it was supposed to, right?" "I guess so." "Okay, big smiles." "Oh, so cute." "Perfect." "Okay, I think we have it." "Thanks kids for another great day." "Thank you so much, they are adorable." "I think Isabella is going to love this one." "Guys." "The Davenport just called." "They have a termite problem." "And they're fumigating next week." "No!" "We can't lose the location." "That'll set us way back." "We still have to find a bride and set design, and Christmas Eve is less than two weeks away." "We don't even have time for a location scout." "Did you try St. George's?" "Booked." "The Boathouse?" "Definitely booked." "What about a rooftop ceremony?" "With the city skyline as a backdrop." "No, that's too risky." "We're gonna have to redesign everything." "This is a disaster." "Hey, I have the perfect place." "The mansion, where you hosted the Christmas party at NYU." "I thought they tore that down." "No I know the new owner." "I'll give him a call and see if it's available." "If it is we can drive out to see it after we finish up here." "Okay, but Megan, keep looking at places." "In case this falls through." "Of course." "It's gonna work out." "I can't believe it's still here." "The owner was so depressed that this place was gonna get torn down." "He was hoping it's glory would live on in our newspaper." "Oh it's just like I remembered." "This is great." "Okay, visualize hanging lights, Christmas tree, the fireplace." "This is so perfect." "Thank you so much for saving the shoot." "Eddie the Elf at your service." "I'm serious." "Hey, we're a team and we're nailing this wedding." "A couple of hours ago I didn't think we were." "But now I do." "Isabella thinks so too." "I showed her some proofs." "She is very impressed." "You may get a partnership for Christmas." "Well what about you?" "We're a team right?" "Right now, the futures lookin' bright." "Okay so I need to get some quick test shots." "'Cause I need to get back, and I need to rework the set up." "Sure." "Do you mind making a quick stop along the way?" "Sure." "That's a pretty good shot right here." "Okay I need test shots." "I don't know I think these are pretty good." "Over there." "Okay."

"Ho, Ho, Ho Merry Christmas!" "Hey, look." "Eddie the Elf is here!" "Does everybody call me that?" "You're tall for an elf." "Well we grow once we leave the North Pole, so we can blend in." "And play basketball." "Lebron James?" "Elf." "Is your girlfriend an elf too?" "Oh, I'm a girl elf and a friend." "So girlfriend?" "Alright everyone, line up and we can tell Santa what we want for Christmas this year." "Ho Ho Ho Ho." "Yep, come on up, alright." "What would you like to ask Santa for this Christmas?" "Nice, I like that." "Put her there." "Alright happy holidays." "Come on up." "Now what would you like for Christmas?" "Well have you been a good boy?" "Ho Ho Ho so you'd like a sleigh." "Well we'll see what we can do." "As long as you've been a good boy I think you'll be just fine." "Hey, sweetie." "Do you want to come in and talk to Santa?" "I'm scared." "You don't have to be." "Hey, can you?" "Who's your friend?" "This is Katie." "That's a pretty name." "Do you make toys?" "I do." "Maybe I should tell you what I want." "So you can make it right." "Smart girl." "Alright" "Tell me Katie, what do you want Santa to bring for Christmas?" "I will personally make sure that gets put in Santa's bag." "I'll e-mail you the selects." "Let me know me how many you want to print." "Great." "What do we owe you?" "My treat." "Merry Christmas." "Thanks, man." "Hey, have you seen Brie?" "She's just in there." "Twas the night before Christmas and all through the house not a creature was stirring not even a mouse." "All the stocking were hung by the chimney with care." "In hope that St. Nicholas soon would be there." "Then what to my wandering eyes should appear?" "A miniature sleigh and eight tiny reindeer." "A little old driver so lively and quick." "I knew in a moment it must be St. Nick." "And more rapid than eagles his reindeers all came." "As he shouted on dasher and each reindeers name." "And so up to the housetop the reindeers soon flew with a sleigh full of toys and St. Nicholas too." "Down the Chimney he..." "Phil, I think you officially achieved Sainthood." "Via Saint Nick." "Still counts." "I'm so glad you guys could join us." "But sweetheart we have to get going." "Three young ladies are waiting for their dinner." "That's my cue." "It's good to see you guys." "Let's get together again soon." "Absolutely." "Bye." "I had so much fun." "Who says it has to end?" "It's Christmas in New York." "Let's get crazy." "Excuse me, can we get..." "Table of two." "This is nice." "Not quite what I expected." "Have you been here before?" "I have, yeah." "With Jared." "Oh, Jared." "We never went on any dates anywhere this nice." "But in all fairness, we were students." "It wasn't a date." "Really?" "Okay, maybe it was kind of a date." "Is this a date?" "Um you tell me." "I will." "You were really great with the kids today." "I had never seen that side to you." "I love kids." "Me too." "You know, this place seems kind of stuffy." "It does, doesn't it?" "And this chicken sucks." "Let's ditch this place and get some pizza!" "Okay." "That was a way better idea." "Carriage." "Come on." "Really?" "Yes, really." "It's so icy." "Ah." "Watch your step." "Hi." "Hey." "Uh..." "Party of two." "Party of two." "Central Park my good man." "Oh you're just full of good ideas." "I can't wait." "I'm so excited." "Oh, 2004, I don't know if I paid them enough." "Thank you." "Napkin?" "Yes." "I love your idea of crazy." "This is the first time I've done this." "Well this is officially my first time on a carriage ride through New York City eating pizza." "Good." "I like sharing firsts with you." "And the pizza right?" "Oh yeah, New York's Pizza, New York's finest." "I wouldn't go that far but it's definitely better than that stuffy joint you went with Jared." "Are you jealous?" "Jared?" "You so are!" "Oh please!" "You are jealous." "It's okay." "It's okay." "It's just we never did anything like this before..." "Paris?" "Yeah." "Paris." "We should of." "I really should be working right now." "Remember what I said about savoring the moment?" "So just stop talking about work and savor with me." "Okay." "I'm savoring it." "Feels good, right?" "This is so fun, I'm so glad we did this." "Me too." "Thank you." "Watch your step." "Alright." "Ta da." "Here you are my good man." "Thank you very much." "Thank you." "So what next?" "I actually have to go see my family." "We have this Christmas..." "Tradition?" "I get it." "Well, good night." "Good night." "Eddie!" "I had fun today." "Me too." "There she is." "Finally." "Hey." "Sorry I'm late." "Hey." "Your mom invited me." "Hope you don't mind." "No." "I mean of course not." "The more the merrier." "Dad can you pass me scissors?" "Uh, yeah." "I've never made ornaments before." "Well you're doing a really good job." "Every year we make these ornaments and we put a Christmas wish on them for the people we're missing during the holidays." "Right." "So the idea is you hang the ornament and the person receives the wish." "Exactly." "You could have warned me about Jared." "I tried, you didn't answer." "Where were you today?" "I was on a carriage ride..." "With Eddie." "You still have feelings for him." "That's not true." "Okay, I don't want to have feelings for Eddie." "He's a wild card and..." "Unpredictable..." "But you still love him." "It's okay honey." "Sometimes you need a second shot to know that the love is true." "Am I crazy?" "No." "You're human." "I love you." "I love you too." "Do me a favor, let Jared down gently." "Hi." "That was fun, right?" "Yeah, yeah it was." "Look Brie, I know that I'm not what you're looking for." "I'm sorry." "You deserve someone so special." "And she's out there looking for you I promise." "How 'bout you?" "Uh, it's too complicated." "How so?" "Have you ever liked someone and the timing's just been off?" "Yeah, but the greatest love stories all have obstacles." "Look at Romeo and Juliet." "Okay yeah, that didn't turn out so well." "But what I mean is some stories take a little more time to unfold." "We have a history." "But I'm pretty sure he's with someone now." "She's this huge power player in my industry, and I do not want to cross her." "I respect her." "Yeah but I would find out for sure before I gave up." "But it could affect the shoot and my partnership." "There's no harm in seeking the truth." "Isn't love worth the risk?" "Yeah it is." "Ooooh, I love this." "But it's not white." "Oh not for the shoot." "For me." "And at my age I'm not fooling anyone." "Are you getting married again?" "No." "Second husband is a keeper, but if I did, this would be my dress." "Move over dresses, hello hat." "What do you think?" "It's definitely you." "Isabella." "Isabella, what do you think?" "Everything is gorgeous." "Except for that." "Please don't go there." "Oh, no." "Wouldn't dream of it." "You know, I think that I might be a Christmas bride next year." "Have you been bit by the love bug?" "Is somebody proposing?" "Well, not yet." "But I think now that he's back in New York, we might finally be able to commit." "And Brie, I really think that your work inspired him." "We were looking at the proofs last night, and he started saying all the right things." "Is this just a bridal party or can anybody join?" "We're just going through dresses for the shoot." "What do you think Eddie?" "I like it." "Is that a folder of invoices for me?" "Yes." "Plus some pictures I think you might like." "Great." "Would you like to come to my exhibit?" "The opening's tonight." "Yes!" "Yes, everyone's invited." "I'm hosting it at a gallery in Midtown." "Eddie's work is amazing." "Sure." "I'd love to." "Alright." "Hi." "You're late." "Fashionably." "Did you know who Eddie's talking to?" "No, I didn't notice." "George McIntyre, the film director." "I love his movies." "I cannot believe he's here." "Well you should have Eddie introduce you." "Do you think he would?" "Of course he would, yeah." "Can you ask him for me?" "What?" "Why?" "Because he's coming this way and you're his favorite." "I'm going to the bathroom to touch up." "Ask him." "You made it." "I was getting worried." "I wouldn't miss it." "And you drew quite an impressive crowd," "I mean a Hollywood film director?" "Yeah, I'm glad George made it." "He flew in from London." "Well I understand why." "The shots are so beautiful." "I'm so proud of you." "So this is how you spent all of your holidays?" "Every Christmas I would go some place new." "But no matter where I went, there it was." "That Christmas energy." "There's no escaping it." "Which is a good thing 'cause it makes the world a better place." "Not so separate." "You know what I love most about your photos?" "It's the joy." "It's like you can feel it." "These two were strangers, but he saw that she was shivering and put a blanket over her." "I wish I was there." "I have to go play host." "Look around, I'll be back." "Oh, do you mind introducing Megan to George?" "She's a huge fan." "Yeah, for sure." "I'd like to introduce you to a friend of mine." "George this is Megan." "Oh Megan is fantastic." "Megan has been instrumental in our campaign." "You're my favourite director." "It's so nice to meet you." "Hey do you have a minute?" "Uh, yeah sure." "I missed you last night at the party." "Oh I'm sorry." "I left a little early." "I had some work to finish up." "Shoot going well?" "Yeah, hopefully the next four days run smoothly and we'll be wrapped up by the 24th." "Excellent." "I spoke with Isabella last night." "She showed the pictures to a focus group." "The results were outstanding." "Really?" "That's fantastic!" "Here's the best part." "She invited us to lunch with her father after the holidays." "Elias publications, here we come!" "We're not at the finish line yet." "But this is some of your best work." "Oh well wait until you see the ceremony setting." "We're shooting at this renovated mansion." "Picturesque." "The exteriors alone will just take your breath away." "You and Eddie make a good team." "Do I sense a Christmas crush?" "No." "Oh, come on, the connection is obvious." "There was never anything between the two of you at NYU?" "If Eddie and I were supposed to have a love story, it would have happened a long time ago." "And now he's with Isabella." "What if he's not?" "If I were you I'd listen to your heart." "You may be surprised by where it might lead you." "Oh, hi, I..." "Brie." "You're timing is impeccable!" "We were just about to celebrate." "Is that an engagement ring?" "Yes, I just got it." "Oh." "Congratulations." "Thank you." "Well, I don't want to intrude." "I can talk to Eddie tomorrow." "Brie!" "Taxi!" "Wait!" "Merry Christmas to you too." "Brie can we talk?" "No." "You have company." "I don't even know what I'm doing here." "I don't know what I was thinking." "I thought..." "Forget it." "What?" "I don't understand." "Can we talk about whatever this is." "There's nothing to say." "Is she okay?" "Hey." "Hey." "Helping Santa?" "In a way, yeah." "I love it." "Think you can make some time for the interiors now?" "There was a problem with our delivery." "They shorted us on the order, and Eddie just wants to brainstorm on how to fix it." "Yeah." "I'll be there in there in a minute." "Is everything okay?" "Did something happen that I should know about?" "No." "I'm fine." "Hey." "I've been waiting to talk to you." "Are these are all the lights?" "Well, I have more, but..." "This is like nothing we really discussed." "It's half finished." "Yeah, I know, I've just been working on getting some candles..." "That's a fire hazard scrap it." "I guess we could just shoot the exterior." "Really?" "I mean, yeah we have a bride and a groom, and there's no congregation." "The outsides gonna be beautiful." "It will be fine." "That's a little drastic, don't you think?" "Brie give me a chance to fix things." "Yeah?" "We can move some lights over here and still get our shot of the bride and groom hanging an ornament together like we discussed." "And I'd like to get a shot over by the fireplace." "Like this." "Just standing here?" "No, with the kindle cones in the background our bride and groom can be gazing at each other." "I want their hands to be up, so you can see the rings." "And them looking deeply in each other's eyes." "Like they'll never love another." "You don't like it?" "If you can do this in the next couple hours great, otherwise we'll just shoot the exterior." "Modern Era Bridal has already started teasing the" "Christmas wedding issue online, we can't drop the ball now." "I mean you saw the interiors." "It's gonna take hours to set up, let alone shoot." "Our schedules already tight." "We can't even allow for an extra fifteen minutes for lunch." "If that's it then why the attitude toward Eddie?" "Did he do something?" "I thought all of this was a sign that we were supposed to be together." "That maybe we could try again." "So like an idiot I drove to his house." "What happened?" "Isabella was there." "Wearing a ring." "Oh, Brie." "He wasn't just a college boyfriend." "He was the one." "He was the love of my life." "So I know it's childish, but I can't be around him right now." "So could you please help me get through this shoot as painlessly as possible?" "Of course." "Thank you." "Have a good night folks." "Hey." "Brie, hey how are you?" "I've been better, but I got the crew to donate some toys, so in case Santa forgets a gift, these are for the kids." "Thanks." "They keep talking about the Christmas party." "You and Eddie made an impact." "You two were the most ambitious people I knew." "A perfect match." "Yeah, well, what brought us together, also tore us apart." "We weren't meant to be." "There must be something still there." "Takes more than time to break that connection." "He's moved on." "What are you gonna do?" "I have to move on with my life." "I have to accept it and be grateful." "And hey we planned a beautiful wedding." "Too bad it's not real." "Yeah." "I guess dreams never are right." "You and I both know that's not true." "Maybe not, it's just..." "It just feels like that right now." "Oh hey, um can you make sure that Katie gets this?" "Eddie bought it specifically for her." "He went out the day after the party, so kind of inspired me to do my own little mini toy drive." "Thank you." "Of course." "Merry Christmas." "Merry Christmas." "Claudia, hey, you don't usually come to set on shoot day." "I want to make sure we finish strong." "Isabella's coming too." "Apparently, with her new fiancé." "Oh, there they are now." "George McIntyre?" "I wanted to tell you." "I saw them canoodling at Eddie's art show." "She made me swear not say anything." "In case it leaked to the press." "You know how socialites like to control the media." "Oh, Brie." "George, this is Brie Traverston." "She's responsible for all of this." "I love your work." "I have to say it inspired us." "We're planning a Christmas wedding." "Congratulations!" "Thank you, and this looks gorgeous." "And Claudia tells me inside is just as lovely." "Yeah, we had some issues with some of the lights." "Nonsense, I'm sure it's beautiful." "Lead the way." "I guess we could figure something out." "This way." "Oh, you're gonna love it." "Oh, Brie, you're kidding." "This is fantastic." "You did all this?" "You were right yesterday." "There was no point in having the shot if we couldn't make it look perfect." "It's beautiful." "It's exactly what I envisioned." "It's the perfect Christmas surprise." "I see you met George." "I did, which was also a surprise." "I thought you and Isabella were..." "A couple?" "Yeah." "That's why you ran out of my place the other night." "Yeah." "We're good friends." "I introduced her to George." "In return she's helping me network here in New York." "It's time for me to come home." "Really?" "Really." "To you." "Here comes the bride." "We still have a shoot." "Right." "Back to work." "Back to work." "If I could just get the bride and groom in front of the tree?" "Perfect, yeah." "Happy, in love." "Perfect." "Ooh, Eddie." "Can you do one of George and me?" "Christmas card." "Our readers are going to fall in love with this." "Thank you Brie." "Thank you." "I just want to get a few more shots out here to finish off." "Let's get you guys in front of the Rolls Royce." "Alright let me see happy in love." "You know, this is the best day of your life." "♪ I'll make you mine on Christmas day ♪" "♪ Christmas time is here again ♪" "♪ Christmas time is here again ♪" "I think we got it." "That's a wrap everyone!" "Good job, very well done." "Oh Brie great shoot." "Thank you, Merry Christmas." "Merry Christmas." "Hey." "Hey." "How's it going?" "Tired, but for good reason." "Modern Era Bridal will have their Merry Matrimony just in time for Christmas." "Yay!" "You can go home now." "Yay." "Did Claudia make you partner yet?" "She said she's bringing it up at the next board meeting." "Good." "You deserve it." "Oh I spoke to the owners." "And they said we can keep the interiors as is until I can get a crew in to dismantle it the day after Christmas." "That's great." "That means everyone can go home and some time with their loved ones for Christmas." "You too." "I will." "I promise." "I couldn't have done this without you, thank you so much." "Is my bag and everything inside?" "It's by the Christmas tree..." "Okay no, no, no, no, I can get it." "You go home, you're my hard working assistant." "Have a Merry Christmas." "Thank you." "The Christmas Queen did it again." "Job well done." "We did it." "Go team." "To the Christmas Queen!" "And to the Christmas King." "Cheers." "Did you make a Christmas wish this year?" "Did you?" "What do you know about Christmas wishes?" "There's a tree at NYU." "You make an ornament and send someone you love a Christmas wish." "And with a little bit of magic, they'll received it." "Did it work for you?" "I hope so." "Did you think anymore about what I said?" "I could hardly get through the shoot without thinking about it." "I don't know where we went wrong." "I just know that my life isn't right without you in it." "Remember at my art exhibit when I told you" "I was always traveling during Christmas?" "And finding it everywhere." "It was you." "It was always you." "And that's why..." "Brie," "Will you marry me?" "Yes!" "I hope it's everything you wanted." "You're everything I wanted." "I also have something for you." "Close your eyes." "I know it's so crazy but, we have the mansion until the 26th, and I know it's super late notice, but I really don't want anymore delays." "This means you're stuck with me forever." "No more Christmas's apart." "That's what I'm hoping for." "I love you, Eddie Chapman." "I love you." "I love Christmas weddings." "They're so..." "Romantic."
