==Plot== Elwood, an architect, is preparing for his wedding to Rina. Rina's mother, Minerva, returns from London for the wedding, while Elwood's mother, Clara, has been doing odd jobs. Minerva and Clara meet and clash, discovering Clara's affair with Minerva's husband. Rina tries to reconcile them with a bridal shower on a yacht, but a storm leaves them stranded on an island. Despite constant fighting, they eventually reconcile when Clara helps Minerva after she steps on a sea urchin. Elwood and Rina's search for their parents leads to their abduction by rebels, from which they are saved by the military. Elwood blames Rina, leading to their breakup.

Minerva and Clara are found near SM Mall of Asia and return home to find funeral services underway. The wedding is called off, but Minerva and Clara try to reconcile their children. Their efforts fail, leading Minerva to hire actors to stage a kidnapping to push through the wedding, but real kidnappers abduct them instead. The news of their abduction reconciles Elwood and Rina. The kidnappers demand Rina marry Elwood for their release. The police intervene, saving Minerva and Clara, and Rina marries Elwood. Minerva returns to London, telling Clara to keep in touch.
