Harlene and Attie's future together is threatened when the bride-to-be's awful ex-flame shows up with information she doesn't want her fiance finding out. And Harlene's not the only Frye keeping secrets: Sammy Jo refuses to tell her family she's moving even though all her bags are already packed. As if that isn't enough, Dewey can't figure out why people keep on asking him to give his sister away and busybody Ozella Meeks has somehow ended up as the wedding coordinator.
