Can they survive the last-minute shocks -- or will the stress be too much for them to bear? Jason is studying abroad and wants to throw a surprise wedding for his girlfriend at a chateau in the French countryside.

Can Jason blow her away -- or will Melissa be crushed that he couldn't live up to her expectations?
