husbands-to-be, everything seems to be going perfectly – the
dates are set, their dresses are beautiful and the maids of
honor – each other – are as joyful as can be. However, when
the pair of friends receives the bad news that their

bliss is ruined. With neither willing to give up her dream
wedding, Liv and Emma declare themselves to be engaged in
