Determined to put the past behind her, Marni tries to move on and be civil to Joanna. But as she gets involved in the wedding preparations, old wounds are reopened, and their rivalry reignites.

Marni’s mother, Gail, also finds herself in a similar situation when her high school rival, Ramona Weaver, shows up as Joanna’s aunt and joins the wedding celebrations.
