Good night, see you later.

Bye-bye, dear.

Hello, Richard.

Oh, hi, Mom.

Dad.

There's six boys outside.

There's six boys outside in the car waiting for Joanie.

The safety in numbers, dear.

They're all in the back seat, Marion.

Well, see, they're letting Joanie drive.

Well, did you have a nice time at the wedding?

No.

Yes.

Well, did you go to the same wedding?

Marion, I don't see how you could have had
a good time at that wedding.

I mean, I thought it was ridiculous.

Oh, it wasn't.

It was just a beautiful way to celebrate a wedding anniversary
after all these years, to renew your marriage vows.

Listen to this, Richie.

Two 50-year-old people, see, they get all
dressed up, and they have a wedding

ceremony in front of their children and their grandchildren,
marching up and down the aisles like silly teenagers.

I'm telling you, I almost bust out laughing.

You did, Howard.

You just humiliated me.

Yeah, well, I'm gonna go comb the rice out of my hair.

I'll be right back.

Howard.

You know, our wedding anniversary.

Our 25th wedding anniversary is next week.

I know.

And it would be the best present that I ever had if
we could get married again, just like the Andersons did.

Not a chance, Marion.

I mean, we'd look ridiculous.

Now, look, I'll give you anything you want.

You can have a new dishwasher, a mix
master, a new vacuum cleaner, anything.

But I'm not going through another marriage ceremony.

Go for the dishwasher, Mom.

That's what I'd take.

Oh, Richard.

See, your father just doesn't understand.

All my life, I've wanted to have a real wedding.

You mean another real wedding?

No, I mean one.

Mom, are you telling me you and Dad never had a wedding?

Richard, sit down, dear.

I've promised your father I would never tell
you children about the way we were married.

But, Richard, your parents were married in
the Milwaukee bus depot.

Oh.

Mom.

It happened when he was in the arm,
and we were all set to have this great big

church wedding, and then they gave him two hours
warning just before they shipped him off to New Jersey.

And you caught up with him at the bus
terminal before he left?

Exactly.

Oh, it was really horrible.

The chaplain was allergic to the fumes from
all the buses, and he had to wear a gas mask.

I could hardly hear him say the words.

And then the bus driver said, all aboard, and the

sergeant was yelling, let's go,
Cunningham, get to Keystone.

On the bus?

You know what Keystone means, don't you, Richard?

Yeah, I know.

And then your father didn't have time to get a wedding ring,
so he slipped a little peppermint lifesaver on my finger.

How could he do that?

Well, he'd sucked it just long enough to
make the whole thing.

Oh, man, I tell you, Mom, after hearing that story, I
don't blame you for wanting to have a second wedding.

Oh, it just would be so nice.

I had my heart set.

I had my heart set on it.

And you're going to have it, Mom.

You are going to have it.

You just leave Dad to me and all the arrangements.

I'm going to take care of everything.

Oh, Richard, it's such a big job.

I want to do it, Mom.

I want to do it for you.

All right, I'm going to get started.

Oh, thank you, Richard.

Oh, it's okay.

Now, where are you going?

I'm going to go find Fonzie.

He'll be a lot of help in a situation like this.

Hey, Mom, you know, you could win big
bucks with that story on Queen for a day.

You think about it.

All these years... Here's a real wedding.

It's now or never.

Come hold me tight.

Kiss me, my darling.

Where have you been?

I've been looking for you for three days.

I had a date.

For three days?

The girl chained herself to my couch.

Blanche?

Yeah.

Yeah.

All right, what's up?

All right, you know how you, me,
and Joanie have been trying to think of

something to get Mom and Dad for their anniversary?

I don't want to hear again about it.

I want to hear about his and her bowling ba*ls.

Yeah, that's a much better idea, Fonz.

All right.

Turns out, they never really had a decent wedding.

So I thought we could throw one for them.

You know, get all the trimmings, make it really nice.

We could pay for it.

So, uh, what do you think?

I guess you like it, huh?

I'm going to give you something I don't usually give out.

Very rare.

A double.

You deserve it.

Oh, thank you, Fonz.

Okay, we only got one problem.

What's that?

That's Dad.

He refuses to do it.

He thinks it's silly.

Have they been fighting?

Yeah.

It has not been a happy home.

Al, could I use your phone, please?

Oh, I'd rather you didn't, Howard.

I'm expecting a call from Jermaine.

If her dog likes me, I'm in.

Hey, Dad.

Paul Richie.

Thanks, Al.

What are you doing here?

Well, I had to take a walk to cool off.

Your mother and I had an argument over
this second wedding thing.

I don't know.

Somebody put her up to this.

She didn't think of this on her own.

Probably one of those ding-dong friends of hers.

Well, probably not exactly a ding-dong.

Sounds to me like conference time.

Yeah, I think you're right, Fonz.

Excuse me, Dad.

It'll just take a second.

Not you.

Him.

Follow me.

What are we doing in here?

This happens to be my office, Mr. C.

Oh, really?

Your secretary out to lunch?

You know, I'm very disappointed.

I'm very disappointed.

I think very highly of you, and I just wouldn't want
everybody in town to start calling you a selfish bum.

Well, who's saying that?

So far, only me.

I get it.

The second marriage, huh?

I'm sorry, Fonz.

I just can't go through with it.

I feel silly.

Silly?

Silly.

Silly, Mr. C?

You think Mrs. C feels silly when she
chops up your veggies very, very tiny

because when you come home, you're really
too tired to chew?

Well, I work hard.

You think that she feels silly when she
makes you hot food, wraps it in aluminum

foil, goes down through the streets of
Milwaukee every winter?

Huh?

To your hardware store, through raging
wind, numb to the bone so that her husband

can have hot lunch in his little tum-tum, huh?

You think that's silly?

I'm a selfish bum, Fonzie.

You see that?

The word's getting around.

Dad, Mom's here.

She's looking for you.

I'm going to do it, Richard.

I'm really going to do it.

I am going to go out there and ask your mother.

No, I'm going to beg her to marry me.

Oh, that's great.

Will you be my daddy?

This whole party is on Richie, Joanie, and me.

Oh, thanks.

That's a beautiful present.

I know.

I'm sorry, guys.

I just got to talk to someone.

It's that dog.

I don't think he likes me.

He just growled and hung up.

I'll talk to the dog.

Mr. and Mrs. C are getting married again.

Oh, that's nice.

Congratulations, Howard.

Thanks, sir.

What do you got to do now is go out there
and pop the question?

You're right, Fonz.

I'm going to go out there and I'm going to
be romantic and sweep her right off her feet.

Oh, I can't wait for this.

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.

What do you expect here for the groom to be, huh?

Thanks, Fonz.

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.

Thank you.

Howard, there you are.

I'll bet your back is all stiffened up again.

Now you just come home and I'll rub some liniment on you.

Oh, you're so nice.

Hey, Marion, there's something I want to say to you.

I need privacy for this, Fonz.

I can dig it.

Restrooms, now!

Everybody, hustle, hustle!

They won't bother you till you're through.

Howard, what?

What are you gonna do?

Sit down, Marion.

There's something I want to ask you.

Go ahead.

Well, next Sunday is our 25th wedding anniversary.

Well, first 25 years have been just wonderful.

And I was wondering if you
would... Hey, where is everybody?

They're all in the bathroom, Ralph.

Wow, what a coincidence.

Well, I'm sorry, I didn't know you were here.

I can't tell you, but it's a surprise.

Where was I?

You would be honored.

Oh, yeah, yeah.

Well, I don't have much to offer you, Miss Pelt.

Wait a minute.

It's some kind of joke, right?

Ralph.

I know.

I open the door and they wrap me up in toilet paper, right?

Ralph!

Well, I can get out of it.

I've done it before.

See?

A truck!

Now go on, Howard, please.

Marion, I don't have to make any speeches.

I know what to say.

I love you.

Will you marry me?

Yes.

Hi, Joanie.

Hi.

Did you get rid of Mom and Dad yet?

Oh, I didn't have to.

Mom took Dad to meet her mother.

Oh, maybe this time she'll like him.

Oh, that's probably the caterers.

Hi, I'm Bernie Cross.

And I'm Gil Crawford.

Anything you can do, we can do better.

Oh, nice slogan.

My son thought it up.

Oh, please, please come in.

All right.

Well.

Hi.

Did you have any trouble finding the place?

No, no, he drove.

Well, have a seat.

You certainly come highly recommended from Al Delvecchio.

Oh, yeah, we haven't seen him in years.

He's still good looking.

Well, yeah.

As you probably know, we're interested in
having you cater a wedding.

Yes.

Oh, congratulations.

You know, I can't recall seeing a lovely
couple in your song.

You didn't attend my wedding, did you?

I wasn't invited.

Actually, the wedding is for my parents.

Yeah, it's kind of a renewal of marriage.

You know, if you had invited me,
I would have been at your wedding.

Well, we had to cut it off somewhere.

As I was saying, the wedding is for my parents, and, well,
we thought we'd just have it right out here in the backyard.

Oh, a renewal of vows?

Yes.

See, that's a lovely idea.

Are you going to hold it in a church?

No, no.

We were thinking about just having it here in the backyard.

You know, nothing too big.



Very nice.

Do you have any idea how many guests?

We'll be coming.

Hey, that's a good question, Gil.

We thought 30 or 40.

Gee, I don't think you can get that many
people in this room.

Have you considered holding it outside?

Like in the backyard?

Maybe they don't have a backyard.

Oh, yes.

Yes, we do.

Well, then what's the problem?

Here, bite on this.

Yeah.

All right.

Let's see.

Which of you actually performs the ceremony?

We both do.

Me and Gil.

We're both ordained ministers.

Oh.

We're also notary publics.

That's where the money is.

Well, I guess that covers everything.

Oh, wait, wait a minute.

What about food?

Oh, gee, no.

I had a big breakfast.

But how about you, Gil?

I ate with you.

Oh, that's right.

No, it sounds good.

I'm talking about food at the wedding.

Oh, we'll probably be hungry by then.

Of course.

Yeah, well, see, we thought that you would supply food.

We also thought you'd supply, oh,
tuxedos, musicians, tables, chairs,

you know, flowers.

Hey, you know, that's not bad.

I'm real sorry about being late for the meeting.

How's everything here?

Excuse me for a minute.

I'm in deep trouble.

Why is that?

These guys have a few lights out in the old marquee.

I'll tell you, Fonz, it's not going right.

I mean, I'm not sure that these people should do it.

Will you relax your freckled self?

I'll run a check.

Okay.

I'd appreciate that.

All right.

Very nice to see you guys.

Hi.

You all set on what we need?

Oh, yeah, sure.

Renewal of vows, 30 or 40 people,
backyard, food, tuxedos, flowers.

See you Sunday.

Oh, you're a slice of heaven.

I knew we came in right, guys.

That's great.

Thank you.

Thank you very much.

See you again.

Don't worry about a thing.

We'll take care of it all.

Thank you.

Thanks for coming.

Yeah, it was nice of Al to recommend us.

Yeah, well, he was best man at my wedding.

Sure, throw it in my face.

Oh.

Can I ask you a question?

Why do you get yourself worked up in such
a way here for no reason?

Worked up?

Yeah.

No reason.

Look at that.

His face is throbbing.

Get over here.

You must have a lot of tension in your love life.

You know, you're on the way to Tickville.

Fonz, you should have seen these guys.

Oh, that's great.

Now, you got your sister all nervioso, too.

All right, all right.

I'm going to calm down.

Ray?

I just want this to be so nice for Mom, you know?

It should be classy.

Yeah.

It should be dignified.

It should be dignified.

What's that clown doing?

Cartwheels.

Mr. Cross, Mr. Crawford, please,
can I talk to you for a second?

What is a clown doing at a wedding?

He's here for fun.

He goes over like gangbusters at kiddie parties.

You guys do kiddie parties?

Boy, you've heard of us?

All right.

All right, I'm going to stay calm now.

Wedding's going to start very soon.

I want you to get rid of the clown.

Oh, okay.

Don't tell him, Bernie.

Why don't you like clowns?

I like clowns.

Well, never mind, Bernie.

But not at a wedding.

Lose them, Bernie.

Thank you.

I feel so much better.

All right, now, has the photographer shown up yet?

Yes, he has.

Well, where is he?

Right there.

Oh!

Chachi!

Chachi, you hired Chachi Arcola to be the photographer?

Al recommended him.

Oh, come on, Rich, I'll do a good job.

You gotta see the great shots I took of the clown.

He just fired the clown.

You fired the clown?

Well, what are you gonna do next?

Beat up the tooth fairy?

All right, all right, the clown can stay.

Bernie, tell your cousin he can stay.

All right, I gotta get out of here.

I'm gonna go check and see if Mom and Dad are all right.

Oh, gee.

High-strung kid.

I'd sure hate to cater his wedding.

All right, guys, let's pose for a picture.

Perfect.

I can't believe this.

Will you look at us?

How could that catering outfit make such a
mistake on our suits?

Maybe we put them on wrong.

Maybe no one will notice.

No one will notice.

Hey, guys.

Nice outfits.

Who's your talent?

All right, all right, Chachi, Chachi, Chachi.

Just don't call any attention to us, all right?

Can he call attention, Malph?

Are you kidding?

What are you doing?

Let me know if you want to buy these back, okay, guys?

Can I have two wallet size for my parents?

Potsie!

Oh, what do you mean you do?

Come on, come on.

Oh, oh.

Don't tell me.

Cross and Crawford.

Even he didn't recognize us.

You and I'm cutting it.

Hello, Mr. Burkhart.

Kind of loud, isn't it?

It's a party.

You know parties.

No, I don't.

Never have them, never go to them.

Interesting life.

Do you have a permit for the fire?

What fire?

In the bathtub.

There's a fire in the bathtub?

Are you kidding?

There's a fire in the bathtub.

Excuse me, Mr. Burkhart.

I'm gonna fix your way.

Why don't you go wash your face?

Hey, grab a stick and join us.

They look delicious, Bernie.

I don't want any hot dogs.

Oh, that's too bad.

The hamburgers haven't thawed yet.

Oh, come on.

Hot dogs and clowns, you're ruining those.

Al, if you please.

Oh, Rich here.

Richie Cunningham meets Jermaine and k*ller.

How do you do?

It's... Ow.

What a nice day for a wedding.

Horseshoes.

How could you have possibly recommended Cross and Crawford?

Well, I was best met at Gil's wedding.

Yeah, I heard all about it.

He didn't even invite Bernie.

Who cares?

The whole wedding's a fiasco.

Now hold it, hold it, hold the wedding.

We can't start the wedding.

Chachi.

Fonz.

Fonzie.

Fonz, we can't start the wedding because
if you just look around, I mean,

you see the guys, look, they're cooking things over there.

Richie, Richie, Richie.

Let me ask you one question.

Who lit your fuse today?

Who lit my fuse?

Your parents in there, they look beautiful.

Your sister's in there, she's pretty as a picture.

Why do you insist on ruining this lovely affair?

Lovely affair?

Thank you very much, Chachi.

Let me tell you something.

You're the best man here.

Just start the wedding.

It's time to start the wedding.

See there, it's total chaos.

For I love you truly, truly dear.

Dearly beloved, we are gathered together
here at the site of our wedding,

and in the face of this company,
join together this man, this woman,

this woman, holy matrimonial, any man, show
just cause, or they may not fully be joined together.

I'd like to speak up now.

You're right.

I'm sorry, Beth, but I can't stand it anymore.

I don't know what you're getting so excited about.

It seems that everything is going on.

That's what it is.

You say what is ever on your mind, Richard.

Thank you.

I'm sorry, everybody.

Mom, I'm sorry.

I wanted this to be such a wonderful day for you, and Joanie
and Fonzie and me, that's what we talked about, right?

And, Dad, you didn't want to do it, because
you were afraid you'd be embarrassed.

Well, now you've been embarrassed.

I don't know.

I guess I just blew it.

Richard, don't blame yourself.

It's the thought that counts.

Oh, Richard, Joanie, Arthur, what you three
do, it's just, it's just a beautiful, beautiful thing.

I'm not going to remember the flowers or
the food or the service.

What I'm going to remember is the love
that made you do this for us.

What about the clown?

The clown I'll remember.

Oh, come on, I'm only half married.

I don't have a ceremony.

Guys, one of you finish.

Gil, you take over.

I'll go check the hamburgers.

Marion, wilt thou have this man
to be thy wedded husband, to

live together after God's order,
to the holy state of heaven?

Wilt thou love him, comfort him,
honor and keep him in sickness and health,

to make him all of it, all of it,
so long as he own shall live?

I will.

Do I go on?

Yes, go on, reverend.

I'm also a notary public.

That's where the money is.

Just go on.

Power vested in me by the state of
Wisconsin, I now pronounce you man and wife.

How would you make us the bride?

This is the strangest wedding I have ever been to.

Thanks.

Thank you.

There you are, young man.

And what great tale is this?

That's our bill.

Boy, that's a real stinger.

I hope you can handle it.

That was a lovely wedding, Bernie.

Yeah.

The clown really made it.

Yeah.

All right, everybody.

Well, I gotta tell you, I can't remember having such a
good time doing something I didn't really want to do.

Hey, come on, Fonz, a toast, huh?

Oh, yeah.

I've got a toast.

I hope that we're all here.

Yeah, happy, smiling, 25 years from now
when the seas do this one more time.

Oh, happy days.

These days are mine.

Share them with me.

Oh, baby.

These happy days are yours and mine.

These happy days are yours and mine.

Happy days.
