Tess, Monica, and
Andrew observe unseen as Kevin Abernathy proposes to Alison Miller in
a forest glade. Six months later, the angels are wedding coordinators
for the couple. Although preparations have proceeded apace, Monica
feels she has forgotten something, and Tess admonishes her to remember
because Kevin and Alison's future depends on it. Wedding day jitters
are compounded by Kevin's eccentric Aunt Augusta and his klutzy
sister, Peggy. But the arrival of Alison's estranged father, Stan
causes her to have second doubts about the nuptials. Kevin is
especially taken aback because his bride-to- be had told him her
father was dead. To prove his love, he reads the wedding vows he wrote
but is dismayed to learn that Alison hasn't written her own vows yet.
While Tess tries to keep the wedding guests entertained, it becomes
evident the wedding may not occur. Amidst the chaos, a mysterious blue
envelope goes unnoticed in the bridal prep room. Monica wonders why
Stan showed up until Tess reveals she invited him. Kevin's parents
comfort him, while Tess urges Alison's mother, Harriet to tell the
truth--Stan wrote to Alison all these years like he promised. Harriet
withheld the letters, initially out of spite for her ex-husband, then
to cover her own deception. Confused, but knowing the truth, the bride
and groom decide to proceed with the wedding. Monica then realizes she
has forgotten to ask God's blessing on the event. After praying, she
discovers the blue envelope and halts the ceremony. A distraught
Alison runs off, but Kevin chases after her. Returning to the glade
where they got engaged, the couple receives a revelation from Monica,
Tess, and Andrew. Informed that marriage is a sacred institution, of
which God should be made a part, the couple also learn the envelope
contains the results of their blood tests. One of them has leukemia.
Realizing true love can endure a life-threatening illness, Kevin and
Alison are married by the three angels in the sight of God.
