Summary

The biggest society wedding of the year is scheduled for Chicago's prestigious Church of the Good Shepherd. The famous bride is movie star Lisa Julian; the groom, a prominent physician.

The lavish marriage ceremony will be the Reverend's first formal wedding. But the groom isn't the first lover in the beautiful Lisa's colorful life. A whole list of jilted suitors have said yes to the glided wedding invitation's RSVP... and now someone intends to make sure that 'Till Death do us part' comes just after the last whispered 'I do'...
