When I came to this country, I came with nothing.
I parked cars while I went to school.
And I learned English.
I later worked as a carpenter until I got myself into college.
That's where Ingrid and I met.
She was studying interior design
and I was studying architecture.
And one year later, we were engaged.
We had very little money,
so we got married at a community center.
Well, actually a bingo hall.
We were so in love.
Everyone pitched in with something in the wedding.
The local pastelería baked the cake.
My cousin, Junior, bought me a tux.
My Tío Walter played with his band, Los Inmortales...
until they had to kick us out the next morning.
When her father asked me how I planned to support his daughter...
I said, "I'm gonna be an architect."
And he said, "An architect? You should have picked a rich wife."
When Sofi was born, I didn't know how I was gonna look after her...
but I promised myself she would never struggle the way we did.
Are you gonna work all night?
No. I'll be right there.
Oh, I love what you're doing with it.
So, I built our house on my own,
and ten years later,
we were the most sought-after firm in Coral Gables.
So, tell me, if I did everything right...
how the hell did I end up here?
...committed to this marriage.
-That's not fair. It's just unfair that... -Billy. I understand.
-...she would start with that accusation. -I understand.
-Oh. Sorry for the offense, Your Honor. -I'm talking about our marriage
and she thinks it's some personal attack.
How dare I question His Majesty?
-Guys, please. -We're all just supporting characters...
-in the Billy Herrera show. -Billy and Ingrid...
Let's stop accusing each other, shall we?
Let's try this exercise instead.
When you do this, I imagine Y.
Again?
It's very effective, and I don't think we've done it in a while.
-I can check in my calendar. -All right. All right.
When you don't answer after I speak...
I imagine that you find me boring.
And I don't wanna be with someone that finds me boring.
I wanna be with someone that finds me interesting.
Not some stubborn old man who's stuck in a rut and takes me for granted.
-You feel you're being taken for granted? -Oh, yes.
I feel taken for granted.
When you call me a workaholic and a stubborn old man,
I imagine that you take for granted
everything that I've sacrificed to get our family to this point in our life.
Look, I never asked for much.
We've been marching to your beat for years, Guillermo Herrera.
It's the same routine.
Sitting, watching sports. Watching the Fishing Channel.
The Fishing Channel?
He likes to guess the weight and the price of the fish.
I'm a fly fisherman.
-It's an art form, okay?
You watch it, you unwind, you relax. I work very hard...
For what?
...and I felt like you were judging me on the Fishing Channel thing!
I didn't know there was a whole channel.
For what? We have everything we need.
Our daughters are grown
and we should be free to travel, to go to Greece.
Again with Greece.
It's a metaphor! You won't venture outside your own bubble.
Okay, look. I came to this country with nothing.
I slept on my Tío Walter's floor. I parked cars.
I became an architect, I built my firm out of nothing.
I sent my daughter, Sofi, to the top law school in New York.
She had absolutely nothing to do with that.
I supported my daughter, Cora
after she dropped out of college, so please explain to me
why is it every time I come here, I am the bad guy?
All right, look. You both have been coming here for over a year, right?
-Oh, yes. -Oh, yeah.
So, I'm gonna ask you point-blank.
Do you still want this marriage to work or not?
-I'm here. -No.
You're not gonna change, Billy.
And I'm tired of trying.
I'm tired too.
Okay.
Well, just because your marriage has devolved into rancor and reprisal
does not mean that this divorce has to as well.
Since these issues are very fresh in your mind,
you both need to gather your entire family together
and you tell them without blaming one another.
So, when do we wanna do this?
We'll do it tonight.
Absolutely not tonight. My daughter is coming home from law school tonight.
We can't lie to them. They're gonna read us like a book.
It's gonna be a little bit of a harsh welcome-home party, don't you think?
Either way, you're not gonna protect them from the shock of this divorce.
Thanks for the help.
Great.
We'll do it tonight.
Huh?
A bigger smile.
So, you wouldn't consider yourself a postmodern kinda guy?
No. Postmodernism has no regard for tradition.
Neoclassic architecture, on the other hand
demands you that you respect the lineage of what you're trying to recreate.
So, I'm more neoclassical, more traditional.
Which is why you have so many clients in Miami.
Maybe so.
I mean, Herrera Architects alone brought Cuba to Coconut Grove.
I think architecture is a great way for us to connect to our culture,
to our home.
Will you excuse me? I just realized I need to get home.
-Sofi? -Yes.
Coral Gables?
Yes. Home sweet home.
Sofi?
She's not here yet.
Oh, good. I was thinking, tonight? It's way too rushed.
Perhaps we should take a little bit more time with Doctor Saeger
you know, so we can plan how to break the news to the girls.
Billy, it's time.
It's too soon.
Why can't we just, you know, give her a warm welcome
and then we'll break the news in a few days.
Because I need to get this off my chest. And I'm not gonna lie to them.
Where is my Sofi?
Not here yet, Ma.
She must have run out when she smelled how many onions you're using.
-Really? -Let me get some oranges.
I'm warning you, do not take over my kitchen today, please.
Oh, and one Vicks isn't enough?
It kept your father alive for decades.
Yeah. Ma, it's my house.
But Sofi deserves a good welcome party.
Sofi deserves a small family dinner with Billy, Cora, and me.
How can you say that your mother is not a member of the family, huh?
Chi Chi, why don't you stay for dinner? You know you're my favorite.
I'm not lending you any money. Has he been gambling?
Where's the graduate?
Hola, Ingrid, Chi Chi. What's cooking?
I'm just trying to fix the ropa vieja. She added too much onion.
Oh, hey. It smell delicious.
Tío Walter is here.
Tío, why don't you stay for dinner?
I'd love that.
One happy family.
Please, just a moment.
I don't care if you invite the entire freaking neighborhood.
We had an agreement.
We had a plan. So we're doing it tonight.
Valentina loved working with Cora and her designs.
Gracias, Cora.
Thank you.
How much longer?
Huan is almost done.
She's been going on about this dress for weeks now.
We're dying to see it.
Oh.
She hasn't shown you the design?
No. She wanted to surprise us.
You didn't show your parents the sketches?
God, no. They would have freaked.
Yeah, well, now they're gonna freak on me.
Just don't look my mom in the eyes when she's yelling
and it'll be over before you know it.
Ready.
Okay. Well, how do you feel?
Like a woman.
Guess we're just gonna have to let them freak.
It's not even a dress.
This was an unforgiveable mistake.
But I promise you, this is not what Ophelia stands for.
What part of "quinceañera gown" did you not understand?
Not every girl wants to grow up to be a Disney princess.
You have worked at this store for one month
and you already think you're Stella McCartney.
This is a quinceañera store.
Yeah. Well, maybe it's time you stop being so old-fashioned.
Maybe it's time you found another place to work.
Already on it.
I thought you'd be more like your sister.
That's my ringtone.
Come on, Huan.
Sof?
Wrong daughter.
Hey.
-Hey, Dad. -Hey, baby.
What's up? Did Ophelia like your designs?
Not really. She decided she wanted to go in a different direction.
What kinda direction?
One where I don't work there anymore.
-I quit. -What?
Wait, what?
Mamita, you just started a month ago.
Okay, great. That's great.
So what's next? What's the plan?
Well, I've made it pretty clear that I don't wanna go to college.
So, why can't I use my college fund to start my own business?
Here we go again. The college fund is for college hence the word "college fund."
I know, papi...
No, you don't know, Cora. I mean, I've said this before.
My college fund was me parking cars at 16.
I'm not gonna pay for you to cut in the front of the line.
If you want something in life, you have to earn it.
That's the way it is, that's the way life is.
Still beating those drums, eh, Billy?
She needs to learn how to follow through.
And you know I'm right.
In all these years, not once.
Hello! Mami!
Oh, my God. We missed you so much.
I missed you, mami.
I'm so happy. Welcome.
Thank you, Mom.
Oh, my beautiful princess.
Hey, cuz.
Papi?
Dad?
Tell 'em.
Right here, right on top of my head.
What?
You lost me.
Stop.
No.
Familia, I hate to interrupt you,
but I've got something I'd like to say.
Yes. There's something that we wanna say, Ingrid and I.
That we wanna propose a toast to Sofia.
Since the first moment you started to speak,
we knew that you were an old soul.
And that you were kind and you were very self-aware and very disciplined.
And that discipline helped you
not only in college, but also on the tennis court.
Yeah.
And also at law school at NYU.
That discipline also helped you pass the bar in New York and pass the bar in Florida.
And now you have two competing job offers.
We're gonna throw the New York one away,
and you're gonna come down to Florida, and...
Oh, Corita.
My other darling.
Since you were a little girl, you always wanted to play dress-up and design dresses.
Apparently not quinceañera dresses...
I guess, but dresses that fit your style
and your mood on a particular day.
That's very nice, okay.
To Sofi and Cori.
Cora.
All right, great toast. Okay, so I...
I also have something to say.
Of course.
You all know me.
I have no life. All I do is work.
I mean, 100-hour weeks, weekends by my computer...
but then there was this guy...
and we spent long hours together.
We worked on the same case and...
Oh, hell with it.
-I'm engaged. -What?
Oh, my...
Congratulations.
Thank you.
Look, mami.
It's beautiful, mi amor. So fast.
Look at it. Isn't it beautiful?
-What's happening? -Guys, thank you!
Oh.
Oh, if only my Luisito would be alive to see it. He was a saint.
Yes, I know.
Oh, my God. This is gonna be so much fun.
Okay, okay, okay. One second. One second. One second.
Just one second.
Who is he?
Like, who is he?
What does he do?
When did you decide this?
Who is he?
His name is Adán. He's from Mexico.
And he's smart and he's sweet and he listens
and he's constantly trying to surprise me, but he does this thing where he...
he bites his lip every time he's trying to hide something.
And it's so cute.
And he's opened my eyes to so much.
He's taken me camping and surfing.
I meditate.
-He's even got me doing yoga.
Yoga, camping, and surfing.
So when I found out that I was going to Mexico...
I couldn't leave him behind.
So... I proposed.
You proposed?
-Hold on. -Exactly.
-You proposed? -Yes.
You proposed to him?
He didn't propose to you?
Can you do that?
-Of course. -Yes.
I mean, you can do that, but does anyone do that?
-She did. -I did.
-That's my girl. -Wait... Okay.
What about waiting until you have achieved some of your career goals?
Papi, I've already achieved career goals.
I'll always keep growing, and he's who I wanna grow with.
And I felt it the second I met him.
We shared an Uber one day and we had the most incredible conversation
but for some reason we didn't exchange numbers.
I don't know why, and I almost always regretted it.
But then a whole year later, I run into him at work.
It turns out that we worked in the same building the entire time.
-It's a sign. -Yes.
Yeah, it's a sign.
Two weeks later our firms partner up on the same class-action case...
and we end up on the same team.
I just looked at him and I said to myself,
"Oh, my God. I'm gonna marry this man."
And I am.
-Kismet. -It's kismet.
-Well... -How romantic.
Very romantic.
-He's from Mexico? -Yes.
And you're going to Mexico?
Yes.
Are you moving to Mexico?
Papi. Yes.
I need to get some air.
-Papi, papi, come on. -Billy.
Papi.
Now you know how Luisito felt when you asked for Ingrid's hand.
Oh, my God, mami.
What a moment, mi amor.
I have one more thing to say.
What is it?
Cora.
Yes.
Would you be my maid of honor?
Yes. Of course. Yeah. I mean...
-Yes? -Of course.
You two are so cute.
-That's cute. -Wait, what was that?
Is that your dad's car?
What?
No, it's el Porschecito. That's him.
Another tantrum.
Well, nobody's perfect, okay?
I got this.
He's gone insane.
No, no, no. It's okay.
Let him go.
Really?
I give you the biggest news of my life, and you just pick up and leave?
I went outside, I got some air...
and then the guys called. I forgot I had a game...
Okay, can we...
...so I came to play this game.
Look at this hand, a beautiful hand. I'll go...
Can we talk?
Long live the bride!
And you told them?
I told them you were going to Mexico and that I was gonna miss you.
What do you mean, Mexico?
-All right, Dad. Come on. -México.
Let's go home. Adán's on his way.
No, no. We just started a game here. Have a seat.
Oh, for the love of God.
How much for your seat?
50 dollars.
Pay up.
This will be interesting.
Okay. Vaya.
You wanted to play?
Go!
Yeah. Why Mexico?
Dad.
Julio Cesar Chavez was Mexican.
And Maromero Paez is too.
No Maromero Paez is Chicano, not Mexican.
Because there is a job that matters to me there.
And that's where Adán is from.
That's why I'm going to Mexico.
But you were gonna be Florida's governor one day.
What are you talking about?
Talking about that you need to grow up a little bit more before you get married.
I'm concerned you're gonna pass on all these opportunities
because you got married too early.
Play!
Tell me about it!
Marriage is already hard. Why make it harder?
In my house we only allow Cubans, Christians or Cohorts.
Your daughters sound like very lucky ladies.
Dad, look at you and Mom.
You got married young...
and you started from nothing, and now you get to enjoy it together.
Pass! Now I'm playing against
two enemies and a traitor.
And you've spent the whole game passing.
You passed on four, you passed on two.
Here's the four/two!
Now, can we go?
Pleasure doing business.
Let's go.
Billy! One last game!
She's the boss!
Sofi!
He still has to ask me for your hand in marriage.
Ay, Dad.
Hi, quelite.
Way to dodge a bullet, big guy.
Did I have a choice?
Oh, we're supposed to play the perfect family until Sofi gets married?
Or we could say...
"Sorry to spoil your happiness, but we're getting a divorce. Mazel tov."
Mami, papi...
this is Adán Castillo.
This is my mom, Ingrid Herrera.
Mrs. Herrera, such a pleasure to finally meet you.
Please call me Ingrid and give me a hug, mijo.
And this is my dad, Guillermo Herrera.
Mr. Herrera, such a pleasure, sir.
Likewise.
Sofi told me you have a beautiful garden
so this is my contribution to the family tree.
How thoughtful.
You know what, let's find a place where it's gonna be happy.
-Okay. -Follow me.
So sweet.
You are so sweet.
I'm glad you liked it.
I love it. Thank you.
That was very thoughtful.
Thank you, Guillermo.
Wow, this house has so much hearth, you know?
Hearth?
Yeah. It feels like a home.
Good word.
I built this house when nobody would hire me
so I hired myself and I slowly built it into this.
Wow.
You're talking about the house, he's talking about the home.
He'll soften up. He's just a little nervous.
Yeah, so am I.
Oh, look at the girls when they were little. They were so perfect.
Oh, my God.
-Quelite, look at your hair. -My babies.
Oh. Stop, Mom.
What?
You love me way too much. God.
What is that, "quelite"?
-Yeah, I was wondering too. What is it? -Oh, oh.
Go.
So when all the summer associates would have lunch,
Adán kept whipping out this Tupperware full of these, like, weird vegetable stews.
And, by the way, he's an amazing cook.
And all of us were like, "Ew, what are you eating?"
-You remember that? -Yeah, yeah.
And I said, "quelites."
So they started calling me quelite.
But then Sofi tried them, loved them
-and I started calling her quelite. -Me quelites.
-Oh, that's so sweet. -Get it?
I love it. I love it.
Well, I guess the stories behind the nicknames
are never as good as the nicknames themselves.
Would you like a drink?
-No, thank you. -I'm good.
I'm okay.
Come to my office.
-Come on. -Yeah.
You're coming too?
Are you implying we shouldn't?
No, no.
I feel like I'm in trouble.
-Yeah. -So,
you said you found a law firm in Mexico?
Yes.
International one?
Yes. Well, actually it's a non-profit.
-A non-profit? -Yeah.
It gives aid to refugees coming into the U.S. from Mexico.
How is the money in that?
Well, the money is decent.
Decent?
So, how do you propose to support my daughter?
Wait.
He's not here to support me, Dad. We're supporting each other.
And we're not making decisions based on money.
I wish I didn't have to make decisions based on money.
Right.
Anyway, Mr. Herrera, I know I was supposed to ask for your blessing...
before marrying your daughter...
Blessing. Permission.
One of those.
But she beat you to the punch.
-Yeah. She gave me a pretty good punch too. -Yep.
-That I did.
We start in September, so things have been pretty crazy, as you can imagine.
That's why I didn't have a chance to come to Miami until now
to tell you both personally
that you have truly raised the best daughter in the world.
She inspires me every day to be a better man.
I wanna learn from her, I wanna be like her...
So nothing would make me happier
than to have your blessing to marry your daughter, sir.
Yeah.
But a non-profit...
-Billy! -Papi!
Of course you have my blessing.
-Did you say you start working in September? -Yeah.
-That's in two months. -Yep.
When did you plan on getting married?
August.
We wanna squeeze in the honeymoon before going to Mexico.
Of course. But don't you think that's a little crazy?
How are we gonna pull together a wedding in one month?
Yes, that's too rushed.
Why don't you wait a year? Or two.
You know, get to know each other a little bit.
No. We want to start our lives together.
I understand, but that's a bit tight.
It's gonna drive up the cost.
That's the least of our worries.
Well, papi, we don't want some big, fancy wedding.
We want something simple and...
Intimate.
And intimate.
And we wanna pay for it.
Two lawyers who are out of college
working for a non-profit are gonna pay for the wedding.
I'm the father of the bride,
the father of the bride will be paying for the wedding.
If I could just explain the situation...
There's nothing to explain.
I am the father of the bride, and I will be paying for the wedding.
And I'm gonna be walking my daughter down the aisle.
Sir, thank you so much for a great night. You have an amazing daughter.
-I'm a very lucky man. -Yes, you are.
Nine a.m.?
-Bright and early. -Perfect.
I can't wait.
-Let's go. -Where do you think you're going?
With Adán.
No, no, no. I don't know. Hey, hey, hey, hold on.
I don't know what you guys do in New York.
Whatever you do in New York stays in New York. In Miami...
In Miami, in this century, you can sleep with your fiancé, Billy.
Good night. Have a wonderful night.
Thank you, Mom.
Be well.
-Adán, quickly flee while you still can. -I love you, Dad.
Go, go, go.
-Come on. -Are you sure your dad's fine with this?
No, trust me. Trust me.
I know my dad.
I don't see what she sees in him...
with his fake bohemian, vegetarian soft voice.
"I wanna learn from her. I want to be like her."
Seriously? Grow a pair.
And, "We're not gonna make our choices based on money"?
You know what that means? We're gonna be supporting them.
Well, fortunately you love to work hard.
So money won't be an issue.
She is gonna eat him alive.
He's nothing like us.
Maybe that's the point.
Mm mm.
Really?
I need my space.
You expect me to sleep on the couch.
Only until the wedding's over.
Then you can get your own place.
Sweet dreams.
Billy.
What a day.
Dad, where are you?
Hello?
Dad, where are you?
He's probably hiding.
Dad!
Hey! Hey. Look at this.
I had a rush of inspiration
and I wanted to capture it before it escaped me.
How are you? Hi.
-You good? -Good.
You're gonna wanna get changed.
The wedding planner's here in 20 minutes.
Wedding planner? What wedding planner?
We didn't have a wedding planner.
Why do we need a wedding planner?
Because we have one month to plan a wedding, and who's gonna do it? You?
-You. -Don't look at me.
So, who is this person?
Her name's Natalie Vance.
She has a beautiful Instagram. Very professional.
And she is highly recommended.
Natalie Vance with a beautiful Instagram. Great credentials.
She ever done a wedding?
Well, she used to work with Becky Weisz, so she's done many.
Oh. Very impressed. Coffee?
I'm so sorry. Do you have tea by any chance?
Tea?
-I'll get that.
She's here.
Hi. Is this the Herrera residence?
Herrera.
Herrera residence?
La familia.
And the bride.
Oh, my God, you're literally gorgeous.
And a lawyer? It's not fair.
Thank you so much for doing this. You are saving our lives.
All right. So, we have a month to secure a venue...
catering, dresses, send out invitations,
make a registry, and design a website.
Ooh, refill.
So, what are we thinking about theme?
-A theme? -What do you mean, theme?
-Theme? -I didn't think about a theme.
Okay. What do we want?
Big wedding? Small? Day? Night?
-Night. -Big.
-Day. -Small.
We were thinking maybe just like a small ceremony, very intimate.
Maybe like a sunset ceremony by the beach would be nice.
Or at a barn.
-Rustic. -Like mason jars and burlap.
A barn? A beach?
Whatever happened to a priest and a church?
Yes. You know, the wedding party.
Your train down the aisle.
-Tuxes. Ice sculptures. -Gala.
Just give me one second.
We don't want a Catholic wedding.
What are you talking about, you don't want to have a Catholic wedding?
Who's gonna officiate then?
My guide Monica from the Zen Center, New York.
So, a yoga class instead of a wedding?
-Quiet.
Okay, all this is lovely, but we need to think of a theme.
We were thinking, "Old Miami." You know, tradish but fresh.
-Kind of old school. -New school.
-Cigars. -Old cars, like, Cuba, who is she?
-Salsa. Salsa music. -Salsa dancing.
-Salsa verde. -Salsa roja.
Salsa...
Picante.
Don't you have some, like, presentation or something to show us?
Yes, papi.
Kyler, Wi-Fi.
TV. Thanks, girl.
Yes, girl.
Can't wait.
Okay. First pitch. Flamencos and flamingos.
How are these two ideas even related?
-Well, it's a Latinks wedding. -Latinx.
A Latinx wedding in Miami.
First of all, I don't know what Latinx means.
Second of all, flamenco is from Spain,
and they're from Mexico, we're from Cuba
so how do these ideas connect?
Teachable moment.
Thank you for holding me accountable.
This is the work.
This is why we march.
Kyler, skip the slide about the queso fountains.
The point is that this is not cultural appropriation...
rather cultural...
-celebration. Right? -Celebration.
A celebration is fine, but not a Broadway production.
Do you have a business card?
No.
Where are your offices?
I thought you said she had experience.
She came highly recommended.
Okay, boomer.
Sorry that I don't have little businessman cards
that pillage and plunder our mother earth.
You're from a different generation, right?
When you were born, babies smoked cigarettes,
and the milkman delivered milk
and, like, World War II had just happened.
But times have changed, and there is nothing
that I can't do with this phone.
The point is, I'm not a wedding planner.
I'm more than a wedding planner.
I get that you guys wanna be a little different, right?
Bohemian and kinda have, like, Tulum vibes.
While you wanna be like a Tommy Bahama guy, right?
You're like, smoking a Cuban with your buddies and your clientele
and just have this, like, earthy billionaire-style wedding.
I got you. Okay?
My job is to be your financial advisor,
family therapist, and stylist.
Your job is to enjoy the event.
So give me a guest list and a deposit.
Do you have a layaway plan?
"Layaway plan."
I love dad jokes. So random.
Okay. Let's forget the theme...
and in the meantime, let's go find us a venue.
You want a venue?
I got a phone too.
Aquí.
Thank you.
Really? The Biltmore?
Creature of habit, your father.
I was on the remodeling committee.
We know, Dad. You tell us every time we come.
All right. Let's go.
Good to see you.
Hey! What do you think? Look at this place. Amazing.
Amazing. Look.
-Hey, Colin. -Mr. Herrera.
Hi. Good to see you.
Will you let Michelle know that her favorite architect is here to see her?
How are you? Good?
So do you prefer the green lentil
or the butternut squash soup?
Butternut squash.
Delicious, huh? Butternut squash, right?
Okay.
Here's the idea.
We got an orchestra right here.
Bang! Orchestra.
Dance floor.
And then we're over here, family table.
Family table. Long family.
One set of tables here.
Herreras. Castillos. Wedding.
Biltmore. Splendor.
Are you gonna have Los Inmortales?
Course we're gonna have Inmortales.
Tío Walter and the Inmortales breaking out the classics. Everybody's happy.
Wait, Dad. You know I love Tío Walter,
and no offense to Los Inmortales...
but there's not only Cubans at this wedding, there's also Adán's family,
our friends, and we don't want an orchestra.
We want a DJ.
A DJ?
Yeah, a DJ.
And this room is too big for 50 guests.
Fifty guests? Try 50 cousins.
Plus, we have friends, my clients.
Dad, I don't wanna get married with 200 strangers I haven't seen in, what,
ten years?
Plus, I barely know half your cousins.
I barely know half my cousins.
What better situation than to reconnect with them at a family wedding?
Let me just get one thing straight.
This is our wedding, Dad.
Well, yes and no.
Yes and no?
Yes and no.
Your name is on the invitation, but my name is on the checks.
Okay. So, because your name's on the check,
you get to call all the shots?
Yes. Traditionally that's the way it works.
The one with the gold makes the rules.
Sofi, please. I just want to give you away
in front of my community, my friends. This is important to me.
Did you just say, "Give me away"?
Dad, I'm not something you could just sell off.
Let's stop this, okay?
I didn't come across the Atlantic Ocean
to sleep on Tío Walter's floor
- -to put myself through school, to build the firm
so I can afford something like this...
for you to stand there and tell me I can't celebrate
this extraordinary moment with our family, our friends.
Dad, Dad, Dad. This is about us.
Okay. I'm gonna interject.
The other day, I was listening to this incredible podcast
with Drake talking about the immigrant experience.
-Did you guys hear this? -No.
Anyway, I know that he is Canadian and you guys are Latinx...
but it got me thinking about immigrants.
Exiles.
Exiles. I'm so sorry.
The point is, it's always the same, right?
The parents wanna preserve their traditions and their kids don't.
Tale as old as time.
And I relate, you know.
I wanted a Sex and the City theme for my bat mitzvah
and my parents wouldn't let me.
I'm a Charlotte.
I'm a Samantha.
And you, missy, need to be a little Carrie in this narrative
while Mr. Big over here needs to stop mansplaining how to throw a wedding.
Okay, papi. Check it.
It's a collab, right?
You gotta be happy, you gotta be happy. And we're gonna make it work.
Deal? Let's go find a wedding dress.
Okay, guys, the appointment is in 15 minutes.
Am I paying for the dress or the rent?
Meringue...
cake...
boring...
too bridal.
Excuse me?
Hi. What other designers do you carry?
I'm afraid we don't have anything for you here.
I think you might be in the wrong store.
I'm gonna have to ask you to leave.
I'm just messing with ya. I don't work here.
My God, I can't take you anywhere.
Cora, this is Vanessa, Adán's cousin.
Also a very good friend of mine from New York.
-Hi.
All right, fam, here is the scoop.
We won't have time to customize a dress,
so we're gonna have to alter one that's off the rack.
Daddy, what is the budget that we're working with?
Budget?
Whatever she wants.
I love that, that's beautiful
but keep in mind that you never wanna
put a bride in a dress she can't afford.
So, prices usually range from about here...
to here.
So, where do we land?
Well, how about there?
Okay.
Get me Esé Azénabor, Vera Wang, and Zuhair Marad.
Fun.
I mean, this just...
This whole thing is just not...
It's just not me. It's not me.
It's just so heavy.
Try the Vera Wang.
No.
Plus, Dad would kill me.
Please.
You could ask for a fitting with the Vera Wang herself
and he would still cave.
That's not true.
What happened with Ophelia's?
You know, I just don't think I'm built to have a boss.
So, I'm gonna start my own thing.
Don't you think you need a little experience for that, Cora?
Like what? College?
Like college. Yes.
You know, not everyone has to follow the rules, Sof.
Okay.
Tía Pili could have made her dress, you know.
She made your dress.
Yes, she did.
And I looked like an extra in a Pat Benatar video.
And I looked like a maître d' from Versailles.
Yes, you did.
-Here she comes. -Oh.
I can't wait!
-I know, I know.
-Okay, what happened?
I don't know, I just wasn't...
I wasn't feeling it.
Now what?
Y ahora, I was thinking that...
Cora...
why don't you make my wedding dress?
-What?
-You're a designer? -She's a very good designer.
No. Not yet.
You said you wanted a break.
This is your break.
Yeah, but I don't have the money,
I don't have the materials, and we're running out of time.
Yeah, see...
You know.
Isn't it a little bit of pressure with the time we have
for her to do all these dresses?
I'll tell you what...
instead of being, like, here, you know...
we can be, like, here.
Well, let's give all that to Cora.
-Yes! -Yes. Cora!
Do my bridesmaids' dresses as well.
Oh, no.
That's five plus one. That's...
Six dresses.
Piece of cake.
-There goes your commission.
What have I done?
I come bearing wine and bridesmaids.
Oh.
Hi.
Hey, Justin, please take this to the patio. Please. Thank you.
Come in. It's open.
Adán.
Mr. Herrera.
Welcome. Come in.
We're watching the fight.
How are you?
Good, good, good.
Did your parents come here too?
No, no, no, they landed.
I just wanted to come real quick to talk to you about something
-before they got here. -Great, perfect. I wanna talk to you too.
Let's have a drink.
At- 00 a.m.?
It's never too early to toast Adán and Sofi.
To Adán and Sofi.
Salud.
Sir, I just wanted to get something off my chest.
You know, I came to this country with nothing.
I worked hard, I put myself through school,
I built my own company, and with that effort,
I was able to build this house.
And you, if you work very hard,
one day, you will also be able to build a house like this.
And about that, you know, I'm kind of in a...
The thing is this, that my daughter, Sofi...
she's used to a certain lifestyle.
And, you know, and I know you wanna make her happy.
-Right? That's all you want. -Yes, and I'm so happy
-that you and I are talking about it. -You have so much potential
to do that. But that non-profit situation is just not gonna cut it...
because, at the end of the day, we as men...
we get judged by our ability to provide.
-And, you know, I... -Because it's all about...
Yeah, and I feel uncomfortable having this conversation.
-I don't really know how to say it, but... -Hey, hey. Hey.
Look at me. There's no shame in it.
If you ever need anything,
-you come to me. -Yeah.
And you see, my father...
Dude! Dude! What a cross!
Get up you bum!
You see that? He ain't gettin' up.
Poor guy.
Poor guy?
-Okay. -I just feel sorry for someone...
who has no choice but to fight for money, you know?
Would you like me to change the channel?
-No, no, no, sir, this is your house. Please. -No, no, no.
What sport would you prefer to watch?
I don't really watch sports.
-You don't watch sports? -No.
You play sports?
I like hiking.
Hiking's not a sport.
Your father never taught you any sports?
He never took you to any games?
No, he did. He has a soccer team
and we had to go watch 'em play every week until I got tired of it.
Hello, men.
-Adán, your parents will be here soon, right? -"Has a soccer team"?
-Yeah. -I need to warm up the fricassee.
Let me help you.
What's up with that glass jaw?
I know.
He's out.
He got him right in the bun.
-Yeah.
-Yep, that's them. Let me go get 'em. -They're here?
They're here.
-Adán, wait. I gotta ask you a question. -Are you coming?
-Let's go. -Hey.
What did you do to your hair?
In case you hadn't realized, our daughter's getting married in two weeks.
You look very nice.
Mm.
Nice of you to notice, Guillermo. Come on.
Hernán.
Behave.
Hey!
Mr. Herrera, this is my father, Hernán Castillo.
Give me a hug, in-law!
A moment ago we were nothing.
...and now we're family.
That's true.
-Ingrid, right? -Yes!
You're just as beautiful as your daughter.
Oh.
-Hi.
Hi, I'm Julieta, nice to meet you.
Hi, Julieta, hi. You must be Adán's sister.
Guillermo Herrera.
Well...
I'm actually Hernán's wife.
Nice to meet you.
And actually...
this is my mother, Marcela.
The former Mrs. Castillo.
I'm gonna show you something.
This is little Hernáncito.
-Look at how cute he... -Adorable.
This is Adán's baby brother. How cute is he.
I wanna show you something.
You're not gonna believe it.
You're not.
I'm gonna show you.
-Just wait, wait, wait. -You better take the baby.
-You take the baby. Yeah. -I'm gonna show you.
I got his birthday tattooed.
Beautiful.
-Beautiful. -Lovely.
And I'm gonna put yours and your brother's, okay?
Ingrid.
-Show me your beautiful home, please. -Absolutely.
-Come on. -Yes.
-Thank you, sweetie.
How was your trip? Was it good?
Good drinks. You know, champagne...
Yeah.
Whoa, whoa, whoa...
Does he own a soccer team?
Yeah.
Don't you have to be a multi-millionaire to own a soccer team?
You know how in Mexico, there's two beer companies?
I'm aware.
He owns one of them.
When were you gonna tell me this?
Oh, I tried.
But you didn't let us speak.
-Working pro bono, huh? -Oh, boy.
If I had a private plane, I'd be making houses for the homeless.
You know what's gonna happen? Our grandson's gonna grow up to be a brat.
Because of course, she's gonna have a boy.
You know what I mean.
I just hope that Sofi finally wakes up after this
before Adán trades her in for a new model
you know, like father, like son, the Castillo tradition.
Look at the age on this poor girl.
-That's not gonna happen.
You know, I heard from Sofi that Hernán took his grandfather's brewery
and made it into the biggest one in Mexico.
So it's not like he didn't do something to get here.
Sofi told you this?
Yes.
You know, she's not just daddy's little girl, right?
Showtime, baby. Come on.
-Thank you.
Oh, uh. Sir, I'm allergic to shrimp.
-Then let's get that away from her. Billy. -Please, sir.
Excuse me?
How did you two meet?
I was his healer. Yeah.
So that's what they call them...
Ladies, please.
How are the wedding arrangements going?
Have you found a church?
Yeah, well, about that...
No, no, they don't want a Catholic wedding.
-No? -No.
I'm sorry, I'm just curious, but do you speak Spanish?
Of course we do.
So why are we speaking English?
Well, because we're in the United States.
We got here very young and we had to learn English.
We spoke Spanish at home. But everyone spoke English at school and the streets,
so it was hard to preserve it.
Of course.
Oh, my God! I need to burp the baby.
She has been like that since she become a mom.
-The death of the maiden. -Exactly.
Time to get a new toy.
Okay.
Where do you want to hold the reception?
Well, actually, we haven't found a place yet.
We're looking for something special.
Well, actually, we have found something special.
It's called the Biltmore Hotel...
and it's the place that I was on the remodeling committee.
But apparently my daughter doesn't find it unique enough.
Dad...
No, I mean, we were married in a bingo hall.
But my daughter, I guess, has now become bored with the Biltmore.
Dad, I'm not...
I'm not bored by the Biltmore.
It's just that it's a little too fancy for us...
and like we've said before,
we want something smaller and,
-And intimate. -and intimate.
Maybe, like, by the ocean, or here.
-Yes. -Sofi, no.
That would never work.
This house is way too small.
-Small? -Pa.
Well, I wouldn't really consider this house small.
I don't mean small like "small."
I mean small like, my guest list alone is five hundred people.
-Five hundred? -And we haven't...
even counted your mother's and stepmother's guests, you know.
Pa, this is our wedding
and you have to be respectful of our choices. Right?
These kids. They spend four years in America
and suddenly they are gringos.
What do you expect, mijo?
That I'm gonna be a guest at my own son's wedding?
Yes.
I think five hundred guests is a bit much.
-Don't you think? -Yeah, it's big.
You should see the weddings in México.
Amazing.
Yeah, well, we're not in México. We're here in Miami...
and the costs here are much different.
Don't worry about the money, consuegro.
How many guests were you thinking?
I'll cover the rest.
-You'll cover the rest? -Yes.
-Breathe.
I don't want to burden you with my needs.
Well, no, okay, and I'm sorry, I appreciate the gesture
but I am the father of the bride
and the father of the bride pays for the wedding.
I don't care about those old traditions.
Yes, but I do care about those old traditions
and that's the way it's going to be done, thank you.
Fine.
But then, let me throw a little engagement party
for the families to meet.
I have a boat here, in the marina.
-We can do it here. -Sounds fantastic.
-Perfect. -Thank you, Hernán.
-Thank you. -For the wedding.
-Yes. -To the wedding.
To the wedding.
Cheers.
Consuegro, I don't care about the old traditions.
I pay for the rest. Come to my boat.
We could all get tattoos.
You know, at least he's trying to be gracious and kind.
And I'm not? I invited 'em to the house, didn't I?
What am I supposed to do?
Take 'em skydiving?
-Oh, boy. -Anyway...
we should go over the ground rules,
so nobody suspects we're getting divorced.
Good call.
Can we hold hands?
We can.
Can we dance?
If necessary.
-How about a kiss? -Absolutely not.
No.
So, what can we do?
How about the usual?
We get to the party as a couple, we say hello to everybody,
then you ignore me for the rest of the party.
No one will suspect a thing.
Tío, this is an intimate party, not a fishing trip.
I want to make them ceviche.
Oh, my God.
How rich is this guy?
That's his boat?
Good thing it was intimate.
Hey, consuegros!
Grab some champagne and come aboard!
What is he, a Bond villain?
Whoever he is, he's my new best friend.
Look! Ozuna!
Thank you, my friend.
Ozuna!
Michael Mann and Don Johnson came every Saturday
to eat at my restaurant when they were shooting Miami Vice.
My husband ran the place, and I was the cook.
Amazing. And then what happened?
Luisito died, and we had to close the place.
He was a saint.
I'm so sorry.
No, no, it's fine.
-As I was saying... -Ma, Ma...
prima Yolanda's looking for you.
Something about the flan being better than yours.
She doesn't even know how to beat eggs.
That flan is from a bakery.
I thought you needed a break.
-No, she's lovely. -She is.
I can see where you guys get your spark from.
Oh, thank you.
Adán said that you were an interior decorator?
-He did? -Yes.
Well, it was a while ago, but I did some things.
Well, I just bought a hotel chain.
Maybe you can help me to remodel it.
Really?
I have to warn you. I don't come cheap.
Nor should you. Come on, let's go dance.
-Let's do it.
Cora tells me that...
Los Inmortales won't be playing at Sofi's wedding.
Times change, I guess.
No priest, no church.
Wow.
Tío, I can't keep fighting Sofi on everything.
I get it.
But if we don't preserve our tradition, who will, son?
Who will?
Hold this.
There is Ozuna.
Ozuna!
Ever hear of the Immortales?
Come with me.
Excuse me, sir, does it have shrimp?
So, how's the father of the bride?
A son is a son until he takes a wife,
but a daughter's a daughter all her life.
A little old-fashioned.
Classic never dies.
Touché.
Anyway, I'm going to need you to docu-sign this here and here.
Mariachis?
A hundred pounds of carne asada made with wagyu beef?
Floridian wagyu can be a bit chewy, so we're importing it.
Of course. Imported. Who authorized this?
Um, Hernán.
Oh, Hernán.
You have ten thousand dollars in fireworks. Who is he?
The Great Gatsby?
I don't know who that is, but...
A thousand guests?
A thousand guests!
Well, that went well.
Excuse me, I need to talk to you.
Billy, meet my mom.
You raised an angel, such a beautiful thing.
Thank you, love.
Okay. We are here, join me.
I have a surprise.
-Another one? -Yes.
-Great. -Natalie!
Where is... Natalie, join us. Come on.
Wow.
I just bought a pied-à-terre. Come on.
-You bought this? -What?
It's more like I traded it in.
A friend of mine who could not repay a loan
from our bank said to me...
"Take my house in Miami." And I said to him, "No..."
But you always need a house whenever you want to come and visit.
So I said, "Why not?"
It is beautiful. Spectacular.
But I want to change the color.
I also like Spanish architecture
so I thought you'd like it.
No, Billy?
It's Italian.
Billy...
Be good.
That is not working, the fountain.
Please call Pancho to fix it, okay?
Thank you, love.
Hernán, this is such a beautiful home.
I agree. It would make a great spot for a wedding, don't you think?
Yeah. I mean, we just want to get married.
You wanted an outdoor wedding.
What better way to break in the new place than doing it here, right?
What do you say, Natalie?
But we can't even find enough salad forks.
Suck it, Kyler.
Yes, we can!
No, we can't.
-I'm sorry? -I said...
No, we can't.
You don't get to waltz in here
and impose your will on the wedding
that I'm throwing for my daughter.
What I am imposing?
Ten thousand dollars in fireworks,
ten crates of tequila from Guadalajara, mariachis,
a hundred platters of carne asada.
I offered to pay for them.
Am I not supposed to have my traditions
at my own son's wedding just because you don't approve?
Traditions?
What part of México does wagyu beef come from?
It's a modern spin.
Yeah? At 150 bucks a pop. And then you hit on my wife.
-Dad! -What?
Billy, not now. No.
I think you should take a step back, pal.
No, you take a step back, my friend.
I didn't come across the ocean with two cents in my pocket...
You came by plane.
Yeah. But a lot of us didn't.
And we didn't come to this country
so some aging hipster in a yacht...
could come in and impose a thousand-person wedding on us.
Speak to me in Spanish, you Napoleonic Cuban!
I'll talk to you in Spanish, you clown!
What about you, whitexican?
Who are you calling "Cubano," eh?
No.
You tacky whitexican.
So are you, bro! So are you!
What the hell is wrong with you crazies?
Shut up!
What is all this Sharks versus Jets shit?
We're all Sharks here.
You should be ashamed of yourselves.
You're taking a day that's supposed to be all about our kids
and making it all about you.
How could you embarrass our family like this?
This house is beautiful.
And it's what our daughter wants.
No. That's not what I want.
So the one with the gold makes the rules?
Yes, the one with the gold makes the rules.
He offered to pay, Billy.
Yeah? Well, I'm the father of the bride, not him.
And I call the shots, not you.
And I don't approve of weddings with no shoes.
And I don't approve of weddings with Zen priests.
And I don't approve of a wedding with a thousand guests.
And I don't approve my girl marrying that boy.
Dad!
You're just the father of the bride.
You don't get to approve who I marry.
So in two weeks,
I'm gonna walk down that aisle
and I'm gonna marry that man...
whether you're next to me or not.
And if you don't wanna be there, Dad...
that's on you.
I'm so sorry.
You went too far.
Shit.
Okay, come on.
You don't need to keep pretending. Just answer him.
Answer who?
David. The guy who keeps texting you.
Oh, please. You're pathetic.
-I'm pathetic? -Yes.
Who is it? And why do you keep hiding?
-I'm not hiding. -Go on, just answer him.
-Oh. You want me to answer him? -Yes.
Okay. Fine.
"Hi, David.
"Can't talk right now.
"But when can we finally meet
to discuss divorce proceedings
"because I can't take this one more second.
"Thank you."
-Send. -Who's David?
My lawyer.
You know, today was supposed to be fun.
But you ruined it for everyone.
And why?
Maybe because things weren't being done to your standards.
Who made you the standard bearer of everything?
I thought you would have gotten the message by now
but it's clear that that's not gonna happen.
I'm done.
I'm not a bridesmaid, that's for sure.
I thought maybe you're her friend from college or something.
-I don't know. I mean, you look good. -Okay.
Do we love it?
-You look amazing. -Oh, my God!
That is gorgeous.
-Cora, it's beautiful. -Cora, seriously.
-You did an amazing job. -Oh, my God.
It's okay.
Don't worry. It'll be done by the wedding.
Some people actually like for their sleeves to fall off.
-Yeah. Yeah. -Yeah.
-Trendy.
Can I try mine on?
I need two more days.
Two more days? The wedding's in four.
-No. We're running a little behind. -A little?
Don't start with me, Sofi, okay?
You're gonna make me nervous.
I'm gonna make you nervous?
-Is that my wedding dress? -Yeah.
I based my design off of it.
With the shoulder pads.
Yeah.
Try it on.
Yes. Yes, Mom. Yes, please.
It's Sofi's moment, not mine.
No, Mom, no. Don't be silly.
-We'll get violent. -You have to.
-Really? -Yes, you can.
-Come on. -I'll help you put it on.
I don't think I'm gonna fit into this.
Try it on! Try it on! Try it on!
Okay, okay, okay.
Well, you can always not close the zipper.
Wait, wait, wait.
-Okay. Okay. -After all these years.
I've never been so scared putting on a dress.
-Okay. Here we go. -Oh, my Lord.
-I really should have gotten the Vaseline. -Yeah.
You gotta grease me up.
Mom, be careful you almost fell!
You're gonna knock me over.
-Okay, hold it. -Okay. Okay.
-Okay.
-Whoa! Oh, my... -There we go. There we go.
I feel really bad for her. Like...
Hi.
Am I interrupting?
I got snacks.
From Vicky's.
Okay.
Put it over here and I'm on my way.
I'm sorry.
Still mad at you.
You know.
Cora made this?
Yeah.
She's good.
She's a mess, but she's good.
Ta da!
-Oh, my God!
-Gorgeous. -Beautiful.
-We need to take some pictures. -Oh, my God.
Today is your day.
No, Mom. No. We can share it.
What is up, my Mexican brother?
Are you ready to see the real Miami?
-Yeah. Yeah. -Yeah.
Can I get a hell yeah?
-Hell yeah.
Hey, it's not your funeral. Tonight is your night.
Hell yeah.
Where's your dad? He's not coming?
He wasn't feeling well.
Hey, what is this, a funeral? Come on, move over, move over.
Let's go.
You beautiful thing!
Wow.
I love you, my darling! Oh, my God.
I'm gonna get a heart attack.
Oye, hey, where's the bachelor?
No, no, no.
Somebody call 911. The party police is here.
Acting like a dead fly, huh?
Guys.
-It's not so easy, bro. -No, no, no. Hey, hey, hey.
-Hey. -Good girl.
-Hey. Hey. No, no, no. Hey. -Watch the loafers!
Hey, hey, hey.
Billy's around. Billy's around. Come on. Billy's around.
It's your turn to get down.
No. You're gonna have to go through him.
Amor, how are you?
How's the bachelor party?
-I can't hear you. How's dinner? -It was good.
We tried this new restaurant by Coconut Grove
but I think we're gonna call it a night.
Yeah. Same here.
We're just gonna grab a couple beers and head home.
You don't have to pretend.
I don't like the whole exploiting women for money thing.
You know that. The...
Then why did you have Junior plan your bachelor party?
Amor, gotta go. Love you.
Let's get you laid, abuela.
Thank you.
Let's dance.
I don't think I should.
It's our children's wedding!
That's true.
Your daughter, my son, our children!
Okay.
Uh...
The things I said...
to you and about you the other day at the island
was inexcusable.
Billy...
My dad gets under my skin all the time.
-That's very kind of you. -I understand.
That's very kind of you, but you deserve an explanation.
I haven't been myself lately because...
Ingrid and I are getting a divorce.
Billy...
I'm so sorry. I...
We were gonna break the news to Sofi the other night...
but then she announced her engagement to you
so you can understand how I felt
when I learned that her new boyfriend was gonna take...
Take my girl away from me to Mexico.
My whole family's falling apart.
So I'm sorry for taking it out on you. I know it's not your fault.
Although at the end of the day...
of course it is.
Just to set the record straight...
it wasn't my idea to go back to Mexico.
What do you mean?
Well, I love New York.
No one knew who I was. I could be myself.
And when I met Sofi, I knew she liked me for who I was.
So why are you going back to Mexico?
She found a job that mattered to her there.
So you're following her back to your country?
Yeah.
Ironically.
Yeah.
What about you?
New York, your career? Your own plans?
My plans are to figure out a life next to your daughter.
And when she saw all the immigrants
stuck at the Mexican border, you know...
she told me how much you guys struggled to get here.
And she felt like she had to do something about it.
So I just chose to join her.
I'm gonna tell Sofi about the divorce
after you come back from the honeymoon.
So I'm gonna need you to keep this quiet.
-Billy... -Listen, I know it's a tall order.
I just want you to understand that...
Well, I didn't want you to get married without knowing that I approve.
So you approve of this marriage, then?
Of course I do.
I'm sorry. Did you need some privacy?
-No, we're all done here. -Yeah.
Come on, papi.
What's the matter with you? You have a heart condition.
I can die doing what I love.
Okay, great. One last kiss. Let's go.
Come on. I'm taking you home.
-Wait, no... -Yeah. All right. Here we go.
See you later, alligator.
I feel like I've gotten a lot of pressure from you.
-Shots. Let's go! -Okay.
It's the first time that I go out since Hernáncito was born.
I don't wanna go.
I'll look after Hernáncito if you wanna sleep in.
-Yeah. -Did you pump milk?
Yes.
It's in the fridge. Would you do that?
-Yes. I will. -Yes.
-Gracias.
You know, I thought you hated each other.
No. We just like to make Hernán think
that we're fighting over him.
This is truly an evolved state that you two are in.
-Come on, let's go dance. Come on. -No. That's my drink.
Whoa, whoa. No.
-It's your bachelorette party. -I know.
I'm just worried that you're gonna wake up hungover tomorrow
and you have all those dresses to finish.
-Hey. Hey, hey. -Just saying.
Relax. I got this.
Cora, the wedding's in two days.
All I'm asking is for you to take it just a little bit more seriously.
Right. Yes. You're...
Sofi, you're such a wise soul, and I'm such a mess.
-You're not a mess. -Why don't I follow your example.
I'm gonna go back to work
-while everyone else is out here celebrating. -That's not what I meant.
-Have fun! Bye! -Wait. Really?
She'll forget everything tomorrow.
Good God.
-Two more, please. -Yes, please.
And one for her.
Papi.
Papi, there's a storm coming.
I don't think so, sweetheart.
It's veering off into the warm water.
Yeah. But what if it doesn't?
I mean, your whole family has flown here.
Cora's been working on the dresses forever.
We've been planning this wedding
for an entire month.
I mean...
Do you wanna cancel it?
No, no. I don't wanna...
Whatever you wanna do, I'll support you either way.
I don't wanna cancel it.
I'm just having, like, a bad feeling about this.
I don't know, it feels like this is a sign.
I mean, maybe we're rushing it.
Maybe we're rushing all of this.
Quelite, hey.
It's not a sign, and we are rushing things
precisely 'cause we wanna start our lives together as soon as possible.
-No? -Yeah.
Yeah.
So we decided to get married during storm season in Miami.
-It's my bad. -Kind of.
Hey, we're a team. We can get through this.
Now, let's go to this rehearsal dinner.
One, two, three.
Don't roll your eyes at me, honey.
Petals to the left and petals to the right.
-My head is about to burst.
It's miraculous!
At what time did you leave the club?
Two in the morning.
You?
I left the club at six.
Is it too tight? Hey, no.
Tyler. Tyler. Not that dress. That's not your dress.
This is your dress. Go in there, put it on. And...
Cora, honey. Cora, rehearsal. Come on, let's go.
Huan, please take care of her and finish pinning her.
And I gotta go.
You don't pay me enough for this madness.
What are you doing?
Rehearsal has started!
Are you kidding me?
I want to finish burrying the knives to prevent the storm!
Mom, don't be ridiculous.
Give me those knives.
You see?
I really like him.
You two make a beautiful couple.
I learned from the best.
Where is Cora?
-Let's go. Come on. Okay. -Here we go.
Bridesmaids. And it's one, two. One, two.
Cora, let's go. Come on. One, two. Elegant.
And now, who's gonna give this girl away?
I'd like to.
Okay.
The groom's mother just called me an everything bagel.
She says I'm everything she ever wanted to taste in one bite.
The little puppy has a bite.
Out with it.
I've known you for a long time.
What's wrong?
Come with me.
What's going on?
You know how Ingrid and I have been going to therapy?
Yeah.
Well, it hasn't panned out, and she wants a divorce.
You're getting divorced?
Cora. Cora, Cora. Don't you...
No! Mom.
Pfft. Are you getting divorced?
What did she say?
Mom?
Billy.
Dad?
Cora?
-Can someone say something? -Girls.
We never intended for you to find out like this.
Divorce?
What do you mean, divorced?
You can't get divorced.
Was there someone else?
-No! -Mami, butt out, please.
We don't get divorced.
Not even when I found out that Luisito had a second family,
-did I get divorced? -What?
What?
I need to get out of here.
Quelite, Quelite. Wait, wait, wait. Calm down, okay?
We're gonna figure this out, I promise.
How? How?
-They've been lying to us the whole time. -No.
They didn't have a choice. What else were they supposed to do?
Did you know?
What? No. No.
-Oh, my God. -No. Quelite, wait. Please.
-Sofi, Sofi! -Get off of me.
It wasn't his fault. I told him not to say anything.
You told Adán, Billy?
What the hell were you thinking?
Look at us.
You fighting. You lying.
I can't get married like this.
-No. Amor. -Oh, Billy.
Was there shrimp in this?
-Oh, God. -Come on.
You made this mess. Go fix it.
Hey, have you seen Sofi?
May I sit down?
This is where your mom and I got married.
Don't worry about us. Live your life.
Because people like Adán,
they don't come along that often.
How, Dad?
Everyone says that marriage is a dying thing,
but you guys were one of my few pillars of hope.
Why are you getting a divorce?
That would be unfair for me to answer with your mom not here
but I will tell you that it's not her fault.
-So you wanted it? -No.
Then what happened?
I think your mom wanted a partner.
A partner that she can enjoy her life with.
And I stopped being fun.
I stopped being her accomplice.
Her friend.
Why don't you just start doing it?
I'm afraid that ship has sailed.
Not if you don't let it.
All I can tell you is that...
if I would have been more like Adán...
this probably wouldn't have happened.
Dad, you are like Adán.
-No. -Yes.
You're sensitive.
You're vulnerable.
You're supportive.
You just don't dare to show it.
That's the difference.
You need to get back,
because Adán is probably losing his mind right now.
Oh, God.
-She'll come around. -You think so?
Absolutely.
-Hi. -I'm so sorry.
-I swear... -It's okay. It's okay.
It's the last secret I'll ever keep from you.
Please, please, please marry me.
Everything will be okay.
I really hope so, because you suck at lying.
Is that a yes?
It's a yes.
The wind has risen and we've lost power.
Sergeant Cora, lock the hatch.
Aye, aye, Captain.
Corporal Sofi, I need a head count.
One, two, three, four.
Lieutenant Herrera, engage the cryosleep chamber.
Engaging, sir.
Help!
Quickly!
Hurry up!
Billy!
Billy, please. Get in here quick.
Hurry up!
-Hurry up! It's stuck. -I got it. Get out of the way.
-It's stuck. -Get out of the way.
What happened?
Just a shutter got stuck.
We're gonna need a mop.
Guess the storm sped up.
We've seen worse.
Yeah.
Get some rest. We got a big day tomorrow.
Dad?
Can you stay with us a while?
Mom?
Sing it, Sam.

Cora, it's beautiful.
-You like it? -I love it.
-Come here. -I love it.
-It's amazing. -Oh, my God.
I'm so glad you like it.
I love it. Thank you.
-Thank you so much. -Which one's mine?
-Chelsea, this is you. -Wow, you really are a designer.
And, Vanessa, I made this one for you 'cause I know you hate dresses.
Thanks.
Okay, watch your step.
Papi.
I made this for you.
It's a pearl from Mom's wedding dress.
Watch your step.
Take your time.
Okay. Thank you, mamá.
-Dad, you want me... -Let's go.
Gotta move.
Okay. I'll be right back. I forgot to pee.
What?
My God, it never fails.
We're making good time. You okay, baby?
A little nervous, but I'm good.
What the hell's going on?
What are you looking at?
The bridge collapsed.
Get me as close to it as possible, please.
-Okay. That's... -Oh, my God.
No, no, no. I have a wedding inside.
Okay, I don't think you understand.
Listen to me for a second.
Call the chief of police, tell him that Junior Herrera...
-I just want you to understand something. -Junior, take it easy.
-This is his wedding. That's his house. Okay? -Okay. Hold on.
Settle down, now. Settle down.
Officer, I understand that the bridge might be compromised
but we need to get across.
It's not safe to cross.
A portion of the bridge collapsed
-in last night's storm. -We have a wedding on the other side.
I understand, but it is not safe to cross.
My life's work is in there. Please, you need to let me go through.
-Bridge collapsed in last night's storm. -Kyler.
-No one can cross. It's very dangerous. -What happened?
Give us your worst.
Hey, Natalie.
There are a couple more palm fronds than we were bargaining for
-What? -...and their flowers...
are not really looking very good.
No, no. But can we have the wedding there?
The wedding's not happening here.
We can't use the venue. It's done.
What are you talking about?
It's over. It's done.
The tent collapsed. The wedding's over. I'm so sorry.
She's right.
It's over.
We can get married some other time. Some other place.
Wait a second. Sofi.
We just had a bridge collapse. We had a storm.
I mean, how many more signs do we want?
Okay. Don't panic, okay? I got this.
Let me call the Biltmore, see if we can get in there.
I'm done. I'm done.
Give me a second.
We'll get married another time.
-When? -I don't know.
Biltmore Hotel. How can I help you?
Hello?
Wait, hold on. Hold on.
You never wanted a wedding in a hotel.
You wanted something unique, something special.
You wanted a beach or a barn.
What about...
What about our home?
You never wanted a wedding with 800 strangers.
Right?
So, this is your day.
Take it as an opportunity
to have the wedding you always wanted.
Let's have it at our home.
Our home.
-Let's do it! Let's do it! -Yes!
-Let's do it!
Junior! Get Junior Jr. and a text chain.
Get everybody to bring something by- 00.
-I can't go back to dog walking. -Hey.
Oh. Pull yourself together. What's the matter with you?
You've done this a million times.
I'm not a wedding planner.
What do you mean, you're not a wedding planner?
-I'm a fraud. -What?
You're more than a wedding planner.
I only interned for Becky Weisz for three months.
And by "interned," I mean, I picked her kid up from school.
I picked up the wrong kid.
They sent out an Amber Alert, okay?
I'm a joke.
All right. All right, all right. Enough of that, enough of that.
You said yourself, there's nothing you can't do with a phone.
-Okay? -Okay.
You're a she-boss.
We're gonna do this. Just, what do we need?
I could redirect some flower trucks to the house.
That's something.
It'll be shabby more than chic.
But I guess we can make it work.
Mami, call las tias...
-and tell them to start cooking now. -Go! Go!
Where's Tío Walter? Tío Walter!
Yeah. Say no more. Inmortales are back.
Inmortales.
Kyler, it's back on!
-Let's go. -Let's move.
-Sofi, here. -Thank you.
-Wine, wine, wine. -Cheese, cheese.
Thank you. Tortillas.
-Thank you, Javie. -Go, go, go.
Cora, are you getting the cakes?
Uh. Yeah? Great.
We're gonna need chips. I almost crashed into you.
It's fine! Just basketball it.
Hey, everybody. Thanks for coming. Thanks for the support.
We're gonna turn this house into a wedding venue.
Okay. So we're gonna need to pool from the neighbors
as many tables, chairs, plates, and silverware as we can.
Yeah, and, Antonio, if you have any complaints,
-just share that. -Wait, no, no, no.
I have an Uber code. No one's bringing their car.
What is that?
The pig.
Okay. Well, bring el cochino to the back.
Excuse us. Excuse us.
-Come on, move it or lose it. -Watch it. Coming through.
-I'm sorry. Is that the cake? -Careful.
-Yep. -Unfortunately.
Could it match any less? Jesus.
Three-for-one.
JoJo Siwa called. She wants her wedding cake back.
I got you. Here we go. Nice and easy. Come through.
Okay. Hi, kids.
Okay. We're gonna take all the petals and put them in the bowl.
Good. Just like that. In the bowl.
Great. In the bowl. Good.
Okay. Ingrid, I'm gonna set up the backyard,
you look after the food.
Okay. You know they're gonna destroy the whole house, right?
We'll remodel it later.
200 people in four hours? Impossible!
Ladies! How can we help?
What can you make in four hours?
Mole.
Yeah. Get in here. Sold.
Mole and ropa vieja?
Who the hell cares?
-Marcela, do you cook? -Sure, I do.
Where's an apron?
-In the drawer. -Line the table up on the back patio.
Careful.
Has anyone heard from the Zen guide?
-Help us out here, guys. We have this... -Here. Hold the end.
-Right here. Thank you. -Thank you.
Send every case of champagne you've got.
And ten boxes of the best Mexican cigars. Okay?
Mexican cigars? I can't wait.
Oye, where's Julieta?
She's sick from the shrimp.
Time's running out. Let's go.
Oh, my God. What happened?
The bridge collapsed, so I swam here.
Well, don't make this about you.
-I'm sorry. -Kyler!
-I'm sorry. Yes, you're right. -Hurry!
I need your help.
We got this.
Here you go.
Junior? How's that pig?
-He's seen better days. -Good.
Tío, where are the rest of Inmortales?
They passed away.
Play louder. Over here.
Oye. Junior Jr.
Put that down.
And help me with the lechón.
It's hot. Be careful. Ready?
Okay.
Watch my loafers.
-Is this all you got? Such a small pig? -Yes, Chi Chi.
I hope you threw some sour orange juice on it.
-Yes, Chi Chi. Yes. -I could have cooked it.
Is the Herrera wedding here?
Yes, the wedding is here.
-Billy. -Sí.
Where do we put them?
Hey, I got an idea.
This way, gentlemen.
Okay. Come on. Come on.
All the way up!
-Papi. -Ready?
Yes. And you?
No.
Watch your dress.
Yeah.
Okay.
Let's go!
What is she doing here?
Adán's Zen teacher couldn't make it because of the storm,
so Natalie's officiating.
I guess she is more than just a wedding planner.
God, I hope so.
-Cora? Cora. Cora! -Cora. Cora.
Come here.
Look at her sleeve.
-Look at her sleeve. -Oh, my God.
Holy shit. Take this.
-Do you trust me? -Yeah.
Oh.
There. Beautiful. Yes. Great. Gorgeous.
Good, thank you.
-Looks good, looks good. -You sure?
Yeah. Mamá.
Don't worry, mi amor. You look even more beautiful.
-Help me with the veil. -Yeah.
-I'll be up front. Good luck. -Thank you, Mom.
Oye, Ingrid.
No one could ever give this girl away...
but for the sake of some old tradition,
if someone's gonna have to walk her down that aisle...
then I want it to be the both of us.
Shall we?
Yeah.
Come.
Damn you, Billy.
Hola.
Bonjour.
Bienvenidos a this wedding.
I would like you all to use your mind's eye
and visualize what this wedding could have been.
Custom crystal chandeliers,
synchronized flamingos dancing in a fountain
and a build-your-own blini-blintz bar that was
truly so beautiful.
But things don't always go as planned...
in life, or in love.
And sometimes, when your plans crumble and crash...
life surprises you...
and gives you a moment more perfect...
than one that you could ever imagine.
So, trust, surrender...
and a little love from your fam is truly all that you need.
And now...
do you, Sofi Herrera Castillo, take this man to be your wedded husband?
I do.
And do you, Adán Castillo Herrera...
take this woman to be your wedded wife?
I do.
He took your last name?
And now, under the eye of God,
and surrounded by your loving family...
I now pronounce you husband and wife.
You may now kiss the bride.
Cuban?
Pre-Castro.
It's good.
You know, Billy...
every summer my buddies and I
take a big fishing trip in the Sea of Cortez.
You know, cigars, tequila, mezcal.
I think you'd enjoy it.
Plus, Adán doesn't like fishing.
Or boxing.
Soccer.
Or baseball.
Or strippers.
Where did I go wrong with that kid?
To be perfectly honest...
I can't think of a place.
I'd like to propose a toast.
Not yet, I have a lot of things to say.
I came to this country with nothing.
On a raft...
in the middle of a hurricane, surrounded by sharks.
-Oh.
All kidding aside, to my beautiful Sofi.
When you told me that you were moving to Mexico,
I feared that all our efforts coming into this country
to wanting to strive and to do better were gonna disappear.
That our family traditions were gonna disappear.
Things have been coming at me...
very fast...
and it's been a struggle for me to keep up.
But when I realized the kind of life that you wanted to build...
I started to learn that it's time for me to let go of my past
and embrace the future.
And that fills me with so much excitement and joy and pride...
for the kind of person you wanna be.
To Adán.
You came to my house and you said, "I wanna be like Sofi."
And now, I just wanna be like you.
I'm blessed to have you in my life.
And to my dear Ingrid.
I shouldn't have taken this long to say this...
but you know how proud I am of all the houses that I've built...
but the only one that truly matters...
is the home that you have built.
And I thank you for that.
And I love you madly.
So, I humbly ask for all of you to forgive...
this stubborn, old...
proud Cuban man...
for taking so long to realize these simple things.
Let's raise a glass to Adán and Sofi...
wish 'em the best of luck and much love.
To the bride and groom.
-Having eyes. -To having eyes.
-Oh, my gosh, here he is. -How you doing, girls?
-Good. How are you? -I'm good.
-Nice speech. -You liked it?
I thought the speech was a little corny. Get over yourself, dude.
-Okay. -Hold on.
I like her.
Hey.
You've always had your way of doing things...
and I've always had mine.
But after seeing how you designed
these dresses for this wedding,
if you wanna start your own business...
I got your back.
Thank you, papi.
-Whoo!
And I'm very proud of you.
Proud of you too.
You got your unique wedding.
I'm gonna miss you, Dad.
I see you chose our song for your dance.
Yes.
Except, I didn't choose it for us.
Bravo!
Where are we, Billy?
What are we doing?
Let's go to Greece.
What?
Well, if you're gonna dump me, why not go out with a bang?
Oh.
True.
So, what are the ground rules?
Hm.
Can we hold hands?
Yes.
Can we dance?
I think we're doing that.
Can we kiss?
