However, Frank's heart is heavy as he learns that his brother's bride-to-be is Daphne, the woman he has always secretly loved. Torn between his duty to his family and his own desires, Frank decides to attend the wedding, determined to face his unresolved feelings for Daphne and the consequences that may follow.
