Saturday morning.

Things are pretty much the same for the usual Saturday morning at the Bing's. Erika and Jack sitting in the table arguing about some show they saw on Netflix; Monica is preparing breakfast while Chandler reads the news, though, we all know he's actually pretending. Yes, every Saturday morning is pretty much the same. Monica is proud, of course, she loves to have everything under control.

- So, do you think she's pretty? - Chandler suddenly asks with his glasses' temple in his mouth.
- Who? - Monica replies.
- Cynthia, you know, Ben's fiancé.

Monica finishes stirring the eggs and turns to Chandler holding the pan. She starts serving breakfast.

- I guess; I mean, Ross didn't really mentioned her, he was just thrilled Ben was getting married.
- I'm surprised we didn't meet her already.
- Don't you think he's too young to be getting married? I mean, why rush it? They are both so young.
-  Well, he is Ross's son. - Chandler explains.

Erika and Jack start eating their eggs, while Chandler and Monica continue arguing about Ben's wedding. How sad it was his own brother didn't ask her to be the wedding planner since she "did such a great job planning Phoebe's wedding".
- Right, because everyone loved your bossy, wedding-planner style! - Chandler answers smiling a little.
- Exactly! Thank you.
- I was being sarcastic... wait, am I not doing it right anymore?
- Who are you talking about? - Jack asks while taking the last sip from his orange juice.
- Your cousin Ben, remember him? He was at grandpa's birthday three years ago. - Monica replies while picking up the plates.
- Oh, yeah - he turns to Erika and continues - the old one. Erika agrees with a nod.

Chandler smiles.
- Could this little guy be any funnier?

- Okay, breakfast is over - Monica shouts; she's more nervous than she cares to admit. - We need to get ready and it's already ten.
- What? Now? - Chandler asks kind of annoyed - the wedding is not for another seven hours!
- Yes, I know that, but we need to shower the kids, shower ourselves, put on nice clothes and drive all the way to Manhattan. You know that.
- Alright - the wedding hadn't even started and Chandler is already bored of it. There's no point arguing, of course. In 16 years of marriage he hadn't once won a fight. Monica is "always" right. So, he just stopped trying.

Chandler stands up from his chair, picks up and holds Erika in his arms while shouting "It's shower time!" And they all go upstairs laughing to get ready.
