Should you give up on a sure thing for the possibility of a better thing?

Herman Edward Heckley is what anyone might call a manly guy. So what's he doing fighting off taffeta in a bridal salon? He's maid of honor for his best friend, Caroline Oakenfeld, in her wedding to a pencil-necked geek. But the closer he gets to the ceremony, the more he begins to wonder if he's missing out. If only he were the type of person who could figure stuff out besides hammer and nails.

Caroline is the type of person who can figure stuff out, and she's been in love with Heck forever. Frittering her life away until Heck wises up isn't part of her life plan, and she agrees to marry her boyfriend. But the closer she gets to the ceremony, the more she realizes she has to resolve her feelings for Heck.

For better or for worse.
