Maddie says she doesn't believe in that kinda thing. And the woman says, "Well you have nothing to lose." So she properly shows Maddie how to make a wish. "Close your eyes and mean it." Maddie says, "I wish I was marrying Paul Kennedy. Well it didn't work." And the woman said, "didn't it. How could you tell?" Maddie says, "Isn't there supposed to be an earthquake or a lightening bolt or something."
