Big Ain't Bad
Jade Jenise Dixon, Sean Blakemore
Though Ric and Natalie are well matched and seemingly happy, the soon-to-be groom finds himself too weak to resist engaging in a one-night stand, which, understandably, sends the would-be bride running in the opposite direction. Luckily, or so it would seem, she finds a wealthy suitor perfectly willing to include her among his accolades. Ric, now thoroughly lovelorn, sets off in hopes of proving that status and expensive gifts aren't valuable if there's no love involved.
