As they leave the church, Piglet realizes that Kit has no idea how unhappy she is. She starts to walk into the street, but the photographer, Madeline, pulls her back so that she and Kit can take photos as a couple. Cecelia asks Madeline to take a picture of her family without Piglet, and as Piglet watches them, she realizes that they are a solid unit and that she is the outsider.

As Piglet, Kit, and Madeline drive away in the rented Rolls-Royce for photos at the house, Kit and Madeline both realize that Piglet is unhappy. Kit overcompensates by talking about how happy he is while Madeline takes photos of everything but their faces. When they arrive at the house, Piglet wants to check on the caterers, but Madeline and Kit insist on taking more portraits at the house. As Piglet’s mood gets worse, so does Kit’s, until they are barely able to look at each other. Piglet imagines a life full of fights and resentment and decides that she cannot pretend. She tells Kit that she cannot get over his lie and that marrying him hasn’t changed anything.
