When Chris's stepfather passes away and leaves Chris a house and a wedding ring, it seems like the perfect opportunity to take the next step in his relationship with John. So, they're both in for a nasty shock when Chris's mother is vehemently opposed to the idea. Despite three years of history to prove otherwise, she insists that John is only a temporary feature in Chris's life, and a man like him can't be expected to stay with someone like Chris in the long run. Can Chris persuade her that she's wrong in time for the wedding-or will there be an empty space in the photographs?
