Doesn’t Mama know best?
Karen broke up with her last boyfriend three years ago. Since then, she has not dated the same guy twice, and only one man in ten has received so much as a goodnight kiss as she turned him away. Karen is an artist, lives in a cluttered loft, and gushes over vivid sunsets.
Her mother tells her she needs a husband.
Mark still dreams of his almost-fiancée. His date book has been empty since he threw her out a week before he’d planned to ask for her hand. A math professor at the College, he loves order, and an elegant proof is a thing of beauty.
His mother tells him he needs a wife.
Their mothers feel certain Karen and Mark will make the perfect couple, but, left on their own, these opposites will never attract. What can two determined women do to assure their children are happy?
After much discussion, they formulate a plan.
They become matchmakers.
They entangle their children in a series of blind dates, extracting promises that they will go out together not once, but three times.
They monitor their progress.
Since both Karen and Mark have abandoned all hope of ever falling in love, their mothers suggest that, in the absence of love, a marriage of convenience is a live option.
They look forward to the wedding.
Karen and Mark, however, are as stubborn and headstrong as their mothers. Could anything possibly go wrong with their plan?
