"Peggy Adams has been waiting seven years for her boyfriend to propose. She’s at a friend's bachelorette party and feeling how out of control her life is when she starts downing martinis, meets a handsome stranger, and wakes up in his bed as Mrs. Luke Sedgwick.

"She doesn’t realize they’re hitched and sneaks out without waking him. Luke tracks her down and drops the bomb: they got married that night and he has the papers to prove it. Back in New York, Peggy presses for a speedy divorce, but Luke’s aunt in Connecticut won’t hear of it. They’re Sedgwicks, and WASPs don’t get divorced." -- Michelle Z. from In the Stacks.tv
