Synopsis

Judy doesn't believe that dreams can come true and the last thing she needs with her wedding to the feckless Shane just a few weeks away is to have her head filled with romantic notions by Max, an OAP with a silver tongue and an obsession with Marilyn Monroe. To make matters worse, her sister is pregnant. Again. Her Mum is overdosing on romantic fiction, her Dad is moaning about the cost of the wedding and her Gran is in a world of her own, dancing to Andy Williams and disgracing herself on a hen night that Judy didn't want in the first place. Romance may not be dead, but it's certainly on the critical list as Judy has to make important decisions about her future.
