Two months later, Colton and Lukas attend Violet’s wedding. Poppy has already attended two days of pre-wedding events. Colton reminds Lukas of their commitment to be on their best behavior and not further irritate Poppy’s family. Anderson approaches, making subtle mocking comments about Poppy’s relationship with the two men. Colton contrasts his behavior with that of their teammates on the Rays, who are accepting of their relationship.

Anderson implies that if Colton or Lukas doesn’t marry Poppy, she will leave them, and then judgmentally alludes to her pregnancy. Rowan, Poppy’s brother, behaves similarly to Anderson. Hank, her father, is slightly more cordial, and when Rowan’s insults become more pointed, Hank reprimands his son. Colton and Lukas commiserate over their rude behavior but vow to remain civil for Poppy’s sake.

Poppy is relieved to see Colton and Lukas after two days with her judgmental sister and mother. She cringes when they explain her family’s rude behavior, though she isn’t surprised. When they attend the rehearsal dinner, Poppy is surprised to see Tina and even more surprised when Violet explains that she invited her.
