So a husband, i.e. someone contractually obliged to be with her, seems like the answer. Which is how Jeanine came to be here in a wedding dress, beside an A-road on a rainy day, holding a sign that says, ‘MARRY ME’. Problem is, the various men who stop and talk to her have their own agendas (not all of them honourable).

Rival bride Jeanine seems the ideal target for her fury. Until Jeanine realises how to unite them all in their various frustrations...
