Sydney
Bennett is back! And her pursuit of perfection is alive and well. Naïve to the
core, Sydney believed that when she finally married the man of her dreams, the
hard part was over. Following a civil ceremony as a means to keep Louis from
being deported, Sydney continues to plan the fairytale wedding that she had
dreamed of since the age of five. Much to her chagrin, she discovers that her
mother-in-law is planning what seems to be a rival wedding in France that SHE
has been dreaming about for her only child since before he was born. How will
poor Sydney be able to ensure two perfect weddings in the midst of Louis’
fruitless job search? Especially when her mother-in-law’s idea of perfection
appears to be having Sydney embarrass herself in front of hundreds of French
people that she has never met?
As if she
didn’t have enough on her mind already, Sydney finds herself faced with the
trials and tribulations of being a wife. Sydney had always heard that marriage
was hard, but she thought that this was just a ruse that married couples
portrayed in a bid to make single girls feel less desperate. But as the bills
pile up and emotions run high, she realizes that there may just be some truth
to this statement. And as she watches Louis’ perfection fade away before her
very eyes, she begins to wonder if she made a rash decision in marrying a man
that she had known for a mere six months.
With all of
the obstacles that Sydney and Louis will encounter, will they be raising their
glasses in celebration or watching their impulsive marriage crash and burn? One
thing is for certain, Sydney and Louis Durand are headed for one hell of a
toast…
