00:00:01,468 --> 00:00:03,802
Dre: Black families have been
fighting to stay together
2
00:00:03,904 --> 00:00:06,338
since the moment we landed
on these shores.
3
00:00:06,440 --> 00:00:10,242
I'm luckier than most because
I'm surrounded by my family.
4
00:00:10,344 --> 00:00:13,612
Three generations
spread over five bedrooms
5
00:00:13,681 --> 00:00:14,847
and a guest house.
6
00:00:14,949 --> 00:00:16,982
And now something is happening
7
00:00:17,084 --> 00:00:19,451
that I never thought possible.
8
00:00:19,553 --> 00:00:21,487
My parents
are getting remarried.
9
00:00:21,589 --> 00:00:22,621
And they're about to have
10
00:00:22,723 --> 00:00:24,857
the pandemic wedding
of their dreams.
11
00:00:24,959 --> 00:00:27,426
Pops: Boy, move your big head!
You're blocking your mama.
12
00:00:27,528 --> 00:00:30,262
How am I supposed to see
my beautiful, blushing bride
13
00:00:30,364 --> 00:00:32,031
with your big head
in the way?
14
00:00:32,133 --> 00:00:33,365
Where's the broom, dre?
15
00:00:33,434 --> 00:00:35,601
I told you I want to jump
the broom this time.
16
00:00:35,703 --> 00:00:37,136
Ruby, are you sure
you should be
17
00:00:37,238 --> 00:00:38,637
jumping over things
at this age?
18
00:00:38,739 --> 00:00:40,139
Oh, baby.
I'm just saying.
19
00:00:40,207 --> 00:00:41,607
Here you go, mama.
We have your safety...
20
00:00:41,675 --> 00:00:42,908
Oh, baby.
Hmm?
21
00:00:42,977 --> 00:00:44,610
How about you
get me a broom
22
00:00:44,645 --> 00:00:47,146
diahann carroll would have
jumped on "dynasty"?
23
00:00:47,248 --> 00:00:48,447
Ah.
[ pops laughs ]
24
00:00:48,482 --> 00:00:50,549

that we do all the traditions
25
00:00:50,651 --> 00:00:52,284
we missed the first time.
Uh-huh.
26
00:00:52,353 --> 00:00:53,919
Including
keeping our vows.
27
00:00:54,021 --> 00:00:54,920
That's right.
28
00:00:54,989 --> 00:00:56,622
We gonna do
a money dance,
29
00:00:56,724 --> 00:00:58,624
and I'm gonna stomp
on the glass
30
00:00:58,726 --> 00:01:01,760
and get carried around
on a chair, like a jewess.
31
00:01:01,862 --> 00:01:02,761
Mm-hmm.
Like a what?
32
00:01:02,830 --> 00:01:05,164
And then
I'm gonna get everybody
33
00:01:05,266 --> 00:01:06,298
to throw rice at us.
34
00:01:06,400 --> 00:01:08,333
Actually,
they're using bird seed now
35
00:01:08,369 --> 00:01:11,703
because, uh, the birds' stomachs
explode with rice.
36
00:01:11,739 --> 00:01:13,806
You think they're gonna explode
at the wedding?
37
00:01:13,908 --> 00:01:15,140
Well, I mean,
probably not.
38
00:01:15,242 --> 00:01:17,276
Well, how about we not
[bleep] with tradition?
39
00:01:17,378 --> 00:01:19,144
Make it long grain.

anything my baby wants!

00:01:21,182 --> 00:01:22,714
Spare no expense, son.
42
00:01:22,817 --> 00:01:24,383
Like everything else,
43
00:01:24,452 --> 00:01:26,285
this wedding was going to
look different
44
00:01:26,387 --> 00:01:28,153
than it would have
in the past.
45
00:01:28,255 --> 00:01:31,090
Maybe we won't blow it out
quite the same way,
46
00:01:31,192 --> 00:01:32,691
but that's okay,
47
00:01:32,760 --> 00:01:35,427
because pops and my mama will
have the most important people
48
00:01:35,463 --> 00:01:36,662
standing there with them...
49
00:01:36,764 --> 00:01:38,230

What kind of man
would I be
53
00:01:43,637 --> 00:01:45,204
if I missed
my baby brother's wedding?
54
00:01:45,272 --> 00:01:47,873

to cdc recommendations

about traveling
during a pandemic.
56
00:01:49,844 --> 00:01:52,111
Oh, man, please. You know I
don't listen to the government.
57
00:01:52,213 --> 00:01:55,080
But I did get
a negative covid test.
58
00:01:56,383 --> 00:01:58,650
Well,
if that's the case...
59
00:01:58,752 --> 00:01:59,885
Come on in, brother.

00:01:59,987 --> 00:02:01,053
You weren't invited.
61
00:02:01,155 --> 00:02:01,987
But I'm here.
62
00:02:02,990 --> 00:02:04,156
I'll have
the chicken breast.
63
00:02:04,258 --> 00:02:05,324
You heard the man.
64
00:02:05,426 --> 00:02:06,792
Put him down
for the chicken breast.
65
00:02:06,894 --> 00:02:09,027
Chicken breast.
Yeah! He's family!

out of the blue,

having some trouble

No.

that he wasn't invited to.

Ohhh. So you guys
have invitations, huh?

I thought you just posted
a neon flyer to a lightpole

telling people
where the party was at.
What?

I'd be happy
if anybody in my family

surprised me with a visit
or a phone call or...

You know what?
Maybe just an e-mail

letting me know
my grammie had passed.

an old man I barely know

I put out fresh linens

he gets to take advantage.

I don't understand, dre.

I-I thought black people
were the ones

as their relatives.

you haven't earned the right

to use the term
"play cousins."

the wedding outside.

at a comfortable distance,

about the virus.

was cousins I don't know.
