The Wedding Palace is turned upside-down when Kate Bell, Annie, Jane and Sammy's demanding mother, shows up for a visit with big news. Ralph is touched when Amanda calls in a favor and gets him an audition with a noted music producer. Meanwhile, the marital friction between Russell and Jane grows. Annie discourages bride Maria Connelly, who's planning a "Sound of Music" theme wedding and wants to dress accordingly.

Amanda Pontell begins working as a wedding planner and craftily garners new business for The Wedding Palace. After Amanda uses some slightly unethical tactics to book new clients, Sammy reminds her that money isn't the only thing that matters when planning weddings. Meanwhile, Annie and David rekindle their romance.
