Family Album question and a wedding

I was watching Danielle Steel's Family Album (I know, I know, but Mom and I watch her movies to mock all the rich family drama, plus this one had Joe Flanigan as a charmingly gay boy and the guy who plays Leo from Charmed), and I totally missed ( a very important part - aka SPOILERS )

. Can anyone explain what happened? *pouts*

In other news, I went to the wedding of the daughter of one of my mom's school friends. It was-- interesting. I had a glass of champagne since I'm legal now, but, uh, it gave me a headache so I'm thinking no alcohol for Ace. The flower girl cried all the way down the aisle, and the father of the bride looked ready to bolt, but the bride and groom were as happy as could be, which was nice. I got sunburned though.

And now I am apparently being dragged to watch "The King and I" with my mom and one of her other school friends. *shakes head*
