Here is the script for this movie:

-So, how was Jessica’s wedding?
-Brilliant! Her dress was something to feast your eyes on!
-And the reception?
-It was quite impressive. Fortunately Bob’s dad knows the manager of The Grand so he was able to pull a few strings and arrange to hold the reception there for half the normal price.
-Really? Great!
-Yes, you know the menu alone was enough to make your mouth water! Unfortunately I had to leave while the party was still in full swing, as I had to get up early for work the next morning. But it’s certainly given me food for thought for my own wedding!
