– THE WEDDING BEGINS
INT. WEDDING VENUE – EVENING
Guests are seated. Emily walks down the aisle. Ross looks nervous. Everyone watches.
Officiant:
Do you, Ross, take Emily—
(blurts)
"I, Ross, take thee… Rachel." Ross said
Everyone gasps. Emily freezes. Music stops. Jake instinctively grabs Ronnie’s hand.
Ronnie (under her breath)
"He did not just—"
"He did."Jake told her
Chandler’s jaw drops. Monica’s eyes are huge. Total chaos ensues. Emily storms out. Ross panics.

– AFTERMATH CHAOS
INT. HOTEL LOBBY – 30 MINUTES LATER
Ross is chasing after Emily. Guests are whispering. Rachel stands frozen. Monica’s trying to calm her brother. Joey is somehow still eating mini-quiches. Ronnie pulls Jake aside and out of the mess.
"I need air. Now." She told him
They slip upstairs, away from the storm.

– INT. HOTEL ROOM – NIGHT
Jake closes the door. Ronnie sits on the edge of the bed, still stunned by what happened downstairs.
_"You okay?" He asked her
"I hate weddings." She told him
(gentle)
"I know." He said
She looks at him. Her voice is quieter now.
"But I don’t hate being here. With you." She said
Jake crosses the room slowly. Sits next to her. Their knees touch. Their silence says more than their words ever could.
"I don’t want the world. I don’t want forever. Not tonight."
(She looks him in the eye)
"I just want you. Right now. If you want that too." She told him
(softly)
"Yeah. But only if you’re sure." He said
"I am." She said
She kisses him — deeper than before. No rush, just honesty. She gently pulls off her cardigan. He helps her out of it like it’s fragile. He stops when she hesitates.
"We can pause. Or stop. Or just sleep." He told her
(shaky smile)
"Jake. It’s okay. This time… I want to keep going."said to him
They lay back together. Slowly. Clothes gradually fall to the floor in gentle moments. The lighting is soft. Hands tremble. Eyes meet and stay there. There’s no music, no dialogue. Just presence. And care.

– MORNING AFTER
INT. HOTEL ROOM – NEXT MORNING
Light filters in through the curtains. Ronnie and Jake are lying under the covers, tangled together but at peace. No awkwardness. Just stillness.
(whisper)
"You’re quiet." He told her
"I don’t want the moment to end."she said
"Me either."
She rolls over and kisses his shoulder.
"It wasn’t perfect. But it was right." She said as she looked at him
"That’s better than perfect."he told her

> “It wasn’t fireworks. It wasn’t a movie.”
“It was soft. Careful. A little awkward.”
“But I chose it. And he waited. And when it happened, it felt like mine.”
“I don’t need to know the rest of my life. Just that I got to remember last night without regret.”
