From afar, everything appears to be in perfect condition, but as the day of the wedding draws near things seem to be different than they looked. The couple family’s conflicts and problems seem to be threatening their marriage.
Even though the Jenna and her husband-to-be to appear to be happy, their respective families are just the contrary of this and everything seem to be falling apart.
