The film’s director Richard Curtis brought back a sizeable portion of the cast for the ten-minute short, which showed how all the characters are doing in the present day.

Martine McCutcheon pops up again as Natalie, and it appears that she and David are still very much together.

They reconnected in New York in the years since the first film, and returned home to London so Joanna could ask Daniel (Liam Neeson) for Sam’s hand in marriage. N’yaww.

Where his instincts for gift wrapping aren’t quite as welcome, unfortunately.
The short ended with David (Hugh Grant) making a speech that has become quite poignant after the week’s events:
Love Actually fans were DELIGHTED by the whole thing:
Just the pick-me-up we all needed. Thanks, gang!
