Vision

[Winston]
Aggie, what kind of arrangements would you like?

[Aggie]
Oh, no, you're doing fine, Win-

[Winston]
No, no, no, this is *your* party, sis!

[Aggie]
Oh, I've never been any good at this, really!

[Winston]
Close your eyes

[Aggie]
What?

[Winston]
Close your eyes

Do it

All right... now, I want you to picture Janie in that wedding dress you just told me about. Have you got it?

[Aggie]
Yes

[Winston]
It's the big day. Two hundred guests fill the main hall. Suddenly, the room goes all hushed... as Janie appears, a princess in her bridal gown, surrounded by garlands of flowers

Can you see it?

[Aggie]
Yes

[Winston]
What color are the flowers?

(Upstage, the lights start to glimmer as an apparition of the affair begins to take shape.)

[Aggie]
Pink

No-

Peach

No...

Apricot blossoms
Just like the ones on her veil
Apricot blossoms
Set off with baby's breath
And white roses

[Caterer]
Lovely

[Aggie]
Apricot and white ribbons hanging everywhere

[Caterer]
Can do

[Aggie]
And freesia
I've always loved the scent of freesia

[Winston]
Lavender freesia

[Caterer]
That will be extra

[Tom]
Extra *what*?

[Aggie]
This candlelight
White candles tied with pastel bows
In tall silver sticks

[Winston]
Now, I want you to look into the dining room and see the tables. What color are the cloths?

[Aggie]
White
Crisp, starched white

[Winston]
Underskirted in lavender. And the napkins?

[Aggie]
Apricot set
On simple white china
With one white rose
At each place
And the guest names printed

-no, no, no, written, in a beautiful hand, on white cards, with the word... "Welcome" above each

[Caterer]
She's got a knack

[Winston]
And the cake. Tell me about the cake!

[Aggie]
Oh, the cake is... so elegant. The cake is white...

White cake with apricot cream filling
Three tiers!

[Winston]
With a little bride and groom on the top!

[Aggie]
No! There's only one bride in the room. And that's... my Janey!

The cake is... dripping in icing flowers. Flower that match her wedding bouquet

[Winston]
And the music?

(The wedding is now visible, as in a dream... the room takes on color... a chandelier appears... Janey enters in her wedding gown...)

[Aggie]
And the music won't ever stop
Not from the moment you walk through the door
It fills the room
Like a concert hall
Cinderella's ball
Swirling and spinning a magical spell
That will make you forget all your worries
Everything's golden
Nothing goes wrong
Inside this song
In this candlelight
On this perfect night

(Ralph, dressed in white tails, joins Janey...)

And then there they are
The impossibly beautiful pair
Just to look at them makes you ache
To care like they care
To feel what they feel
And believe
That it's real

This is what getting married should be!

(Ralph takes Janey's hand, and they dance)

Look...

He's taking her hand
As they float down the stairs for their dance
To a different song
Even more heartbreaking
Even more full of romance

(The couple separates and begins to drift off as the chandelier flies out...)

And you know from now on
If you ever should hear that sweet song
You'll remember this husband and wife
The lovely young girl
In her wedding gown
And her flower crown
Gliding across the floor
In the arms of the man who adores her
The man she'll adore
For the rest of her
Life
