Juliet is determined to move up in the world - by marrying a doctor and having a big wedding. But she certainly doesn't take love too seriously. Tessa, her cousin, is a free-spirit who thinks marriage is a joke, but secretly craves love. Between them is Brendan, a young surgeon, who is becoming aware of the complexities of love and attraction, and the difficulties of wedded bliss. But for all three, finding true love becomes a serious business.
