Tracy's father leaves her alone after scolding her about her attitude and condescending behavior. He accuses her of being "made of bronze." After he leaves, Tracy drinks an enormous amount of champagne to drown out the pain and hurt he's inflicted upon her. The image of the bride.... all alone left alone and drinking heavily (and quickly) reveals that Tracy is not the ice queen her father perceives her as being.
