and after the couple reaches the end, Frisco exclaims: Well,
we did it! We're married!
Toasts are made to
the happy couple, including one by Tony. Later, after working the
receiving line, the happy newlyweds have their first dance as Frisco
serenades his wife with "Lady of My Heart."
Frisco:
Lady of my heart, tell me who you are, you've waited int he dark,
and I need you with me." Watching the couple dance, Sean and

rendezvous later. Neither know that Alan and his private eye are at
that very moment searching Sean's penthouse.
Anna and Duke,
meanwhile, are doing their best to annoy one another. He charms
Robin, much to Anna's chagrin, and Anna's attempts to get Duke to
discuss his possible mob connections fail repeated. Then, before
Frisco and Felicia sweep off to the honeymoon, they throw the garter
and bouquet. Felicia deliberate tosses the bouquet to Anna, who
blushes afterwards when Duke, who's standing behind her, catches the
garter.
