— ARRIVING IN LONDON
INT. LONDON HOTEL – LOBBY – DAY
Ross, Monica, Chandler, Joey, Ronnie, and Jake arrive, looking exhausted. Everyone’s dragging bags and bickering. British accents everywhere.
Ross (grinning)
"Can you believe it? I’m getting married… here! In London!" Said to the group
"If only Emily’s dad didn’t look like he eats grooms for breakfast." Chandler said
Joey (to concierge)
"Can you tell me where I can find Big Ben? And is it true your cookies are just biscuits pretending to be dessert?" He asked
Ronnie (whispering to Jake)
"I swear Joey thinks he’s in Mary Poppins." She told her boyfriend
Jake (smirking)
"If he starts singing about chimneys, we’re switching hotels." He said to her

— HOTEL ROOM ASSIGNMENTS
INT. HOTEL FRONT DESK
"We asked for two rooms with double beds." Monica said
Receptionist (cheery)
"Unfortunately, there’s been a mix-up. We have… one room with two doubles, and one room with a king."said
Jake (eyeing Ronnie nervously)
'I mean… we’re not gonna take the king room, right?" He says
Chandler (grinning)
"Unless you’re planning a honeymoon, I’d say no." Her brother answered her boyfriends question
Ronnie (deadpan)
"Yeah, let’s stick to “cozy but platonic.” she said
Monica and Rachel’s names are on the king room. Chandler and Joey argue over who gets to room with Jake. Ronnie ends up with Monica… for now.

— LONDON TOURING
INT. STREETS OF LONDON – LATER THAT DAY
Joey’s got a huge tourist map. Chandler’s dragging his feet. Jake and Ronnie fall behind, walking closer than usual.
Joey (excited)
"Look! That’s the Tower Bridge! And that pub? That’s where David Bowie supposedly threw up once!" He said to them
"What a magical country." Ronnie said bored
"You okay? You’ve been quiet." Jake asked her
"I dunno. London’s beautiful. It just makes me think… like, about real stuff. The future. You and me." She told him
Jake looks at her. A real pause.
"Same." Said the boy
"That’s terrifying." She said
(smiling)
"A little. But not in a bad way."he told her
They keep walking. He takes her hand. She lets him.

— REHEARSAL DINNER DRAMA
INT. WEDDING VENUE – NIGHT
Ross and Emily’s families are mid-argument over cultural differences. Ronnie and Jake sit quietly watching everything explode — like a romantic comedy gone wrong.
Ross (nervous)
"Right, so… the flowers will go here, and the band will—wait, what do you mean “bagpipes instead of violins”?"he asked worried
Emily’s Uncle:
"It’s tradition! You must honor it!" Said
Chandler (to Jake)
"Fun fact: this is what emotional disaster smells like." Said to the boy
Jake (to Ronnie, low)
"Why do weddings make me feel like I’m doing something wrong just by not knowing how to love forever?" He asked his girlfriend
(quiet)
"Because everyone here keeps pretending it’s easy." She said to him

— LONDON NIGHT WALK
INT. HOTEL HALLWAY – LATE NIGHT
Ronnie and Jake sneak out for a short walk under the London night sky.
"First wedding I’ve ever been to." He told her
"Same. What’s your review?" She asked him
Jake (grinning)
"8/10 — solid drama, confusing dress code, emotional undercurrents."he told her
"I like being here. With you. Even if we don’t belong."she said
"You belong everywhere, Ronnie. Especially here." He told her
(They share a soft kiss — not intense. Just warm. Present. Then walk together, hand-in-hand, into the London night.)

📞 MEANWHILE IN NEW YORK – PHOEBE & RACHEL
INT. RACHEL’S APARTMENT – NIGHT
Phoebe (on the phone):
So Joey saw the Queen, Monica’s hair is huge, and Ronnie is officially smitten with that Jake kid.
Rachel (panicking):
Should I go? I mean, what if Ross actually marries her?
Phoebe:
Well, statistically speaking… yes. That’s kind of the point of weddings.
