Everything I Know About Love

This recipe was given to Alderton by her mother and is meant to help impress people at dinner parties without putting in a lot of effort to do so. The ice cream is made from scratch, and the apple pizza is made with marzipan, puff pastry, fresh apples, and topped with apricot jam.

Alderton realizes that the thing she hates most about Scott and Farly getting serious, is that she no longer sees Farly’s family as much. Since she and Farly grew up together, Alderton frequently visited Farly’s family; now, she only sees them a few times per year, and Scott is the one accompanying them on trips or visiting on weekends. Farly tells Alderton that Scott has asked her to move in with him, and she assures Alderton that nothing will change. Farly moves out on Alderton’s 25th birthday, and one of their friends from university, Belle, takes Farly’s old room. Three months later, Scott plans to propose to Farly, and he wants her friends to be there.

The evening of the proposal, Alderton drinks most of the couple’s celebratory champagne and drunkenly toasts them with a speech from the film My Best Friend’s Wedding. Farly asks Alderton to be her maid of honor.
