| Description |
Digby Mannering's getting married in the morning – 'Ding dong, the bells are going to chime' … or are they? For a start, the stag night has started badly: Digby's best man, Eddie, is the ex of Amanda, Digby's soon to be bride… awkward? No, what's awkward is that Eddie is also Digby's brother and is doing his best to sabotage the night and the big day. Now that's awkward! Can Digby appease his brother? And just what is Digby's mother trying to hide? And can Amanda draw any solace from her bridesmaids when all they want to do is drink champagne cocktails and play 'Twister'? |
