Life is good for the Rose family. They live on the idyllic Kapiti Coast where the sunsets are spectacular, parking is still free and second-hand bargains abound. Jill and Brian Rose are happily married, their daughter, primary school teacher; Cheryl will shortly follow in their footsteps when long time boyfriend, mechanic, Stew proposes.
Clouds gather however, when it becomes apparent that Cheryl has issues with her mother’s voracious bargain hunting, which she fears will ruin her wedding.
So much so, that Cheryl won’t tell her mother or wear her engagement ring, much to Stew’s disappointment. It’s a small town so it doesn’t take long for Jill to find out - via envious co-worker Gracie. This causes a serious rift between mother and daughter, in fact between the whole family, as Jill feels her trust has been betrayed, throwing into doubt her whole reason for living and putting her bargain hunting abilities on the back burner. Unable to comfort her best friend, Jill’s best friend, Muffy is at a loss.
Garage owner Waz's exuberant wife Sugarpuff steps in and helps Cheryl and Stew organise their wedding.Meanwhile, Model-T fanatic Brian Rose becomes ill and in very dramatic circumstances manages to save his own life. His near death experience brings the family back together. But the wedding reception is in jeopardy due to a major misunderstanding.
Will Cheryl and Stew get to live happily ever after-
