One surprise proposal.
One moment that will change everything.

At the top of the Eiffel Tower, a young man proposes to his girlfriend, cheered on by delighted tourists. But in that moment everything changes, not just for the happy couple, but for their family and friends at home.

Mother of the groom, Grace, finds that her son''s impending wedding means that she''s spending more time with her ex-husband - surely she''s not falling for him all over again...

Bridesmaid, Leila, is determined to put on a brave face for her best friend, but she''s still nursing a broken heart since ''The One'' walked out on her a few months ago.

And cake-maker and widow Vonnie is only just daring to let love back into her life - yet with someone determined to stop her blossoming romance, it''s looking less sturdy than the wedding cake!

It''s clear that romance is in the air, but will all three women find their own chance at happiness before the big day?
