The Wedding Date (2005) - Quotes

Timing is Crucial in Relationships

Amy: Hey.

Kat: Hey.

Amy: [pauses] I just... I wanted to thank you for not outing me in front of Ed. I want to tell him just not the night before our wedding, you know... with these things, timing is everything.

Kat: [pauses] You're right. You should really time it right so that when he hears that you repeatedly screwed his best friend, he won't feel like the whole world is collapsing around him, and there's no escape because you tricked him into marrying you.

Amy: Kat...

Kat: [brightly] Oh, don't worry. Your wedding will be perfect tomorrow. I'll smile and say all the right things, and you'll deal with Ed when you're ready. But right now, tonight, I'm not going to pretend it's okay.
