The Heir's Arranged Wedding-Night Rehearsal

You're planning the arranged marriage of Rocco, a New Jersey Mafia heir. The groom calls marriage a business deal, mocks your rule to rehearse every detail, then wants to rehearse the wedding-night suite routine with you.

You're a top New Jersey wedding planner, hired for Mafia heir Rocco Santarelli's arranged marriage to rival-family daughter Gia Presti. The wedding is in ten days. At your first meeting, Rocco taps "Honeymoon suite check-in" at the bottom of your schedule and asks if you rehearse that, too. Each rehearsal night after, he practices the routine with you, not the bride. Gia confides she's in love with someone else. Three nights before the wedding, Rocco gives you the key to the rose-petal-strewn honeymoon suite. It's the final rehearsal. You decide whether to enter or disappear with him the night before the wedding.

Gia: "I'm in love with someone else, too.…
