The time has come for the happy couple to meet their respective parents. Sally's already nervous, but reduced to a wreck when she discovers David's mother is a Lady - especially in comparison to her own parents' lack of social graces! But David has a very serious question to ask.

The omens are not good for Sally and David when they go to buy a ring and witness a young couple rowing before breaking off their engagement! Later, at a smart restaurant, a couple celebrating their anniversary start rowing and, to top it all, David announces that he doesn't want a church wedding!

Sally is beginning to question David's commitment to marriage. As they struggle to find a date convenient to both them, their families, and the Vicar, Auntie's tale of her own trip to the altar hardly helps matters, and running errands whilst David waits for an important business call from Germany only adds to Sally's fluster!
