Liz and Jonas are in love, it’s the day before their wedding and
everything is perfect. The only thing that could go wrong is an act
of nature. And the only thing that can make it right will be an act
of God.
The wedding is to be held at the Peery Hotel in Washington D.C., the
very spot that Jonas and Liz met. Liz arrives in a great mood only to
be met with a new staff, a loitering homeless man, and an unwanted
wedding guest, Aunt Meg. All of this she can handle, just as long as
Jonas makes his flight into town. Unfortunately Jonas decides to
squeeze in one last meeting, and must take a later flight. Even more
unfortunately, all later flights are canceled as a monster blizzard
sweeps across the eastern seaboard. Forced to seek alternate
transportation, Jonas catches a ride from a helpful cabbie, Andrew.
Back at the Hotel, Liz is shattered as she receives phone call after
phone call from guests unable to make it to town. Her wedding is
ruined, her parents won’t be there, the groom may not be there, and
Aunt Meg is. She is so upset, that she gets into a fight with Jonas
on the phone, causing him to call off the wedding, and ask Andrew to
take him back to New York. Liz breaks down at Jonas’s decision not to
show and tells Monica, Gloria, and Tess about the wedding she always
wanted, and how she’ll never get it. Later that evening, the angels
show up at Liz’s door to throw the pre-wedding slumber party she
wanted to have.
Around the same time, Jonas wakes up in the cab to find that Andrew
drove him to the hotel despite his request to the contrary. Angry at
the interference, he storms out of the cab and into the blizzard. He
quickly gets lost, and is forced to call another cab. As soon as he’s
made the call, his cell phone rings, it’s Liz. She tries to apologize
but Jonas is forced to cut the call short when he is held up at
gun-point. Andrew and a homeless man (sent by Tess) help Jonas to his
feet, replace his stolen clothes and help him back to the hotel. Tess
has spent most of the day and the evening bringing the homeless off of
the street and into the boiler room of the hotel.
The next day, the wedding banquet is prepared yet none of the guests
have arrived. Monica tells Liz that just because things aren’t
turning out the way she expected, doesn’t mean they won’t turn out
well. At Monica’s prompting, she invites all of the homeless people
to attend the wedding banquet. Making the most of the disastrous
wedding, she sees that all of her new guests are well fed and
entertained. Jonas watches from the hallway, dressed as a vagrant.
He falls in love with her all over again, but can’t bring himself to
go inside. Liz comes out of the banquet while his back is turned, she
mistakes him for another homeless person, and invites him to have the
last plate of food, the one she was saving for Jonas. He turns
around, revealing his identity, and they reunite. |
