Ren's wedding to Denise is due shortly and he is not too happy about it. Another person that isn't too happy about this marriage is Edith. She summons Michelle, telling her that if Ren marries Denise, he'll join the Communists. Edith has hatched a plan, which requires Michelle and her girls to kidnap Denise. Then, Edith can take her place at the altar and marry Ren. They agree not to let Ren know about the plan. Von Strohm is getting heat from Gen. Von Klinkerhoffen after the paintings were stolen from Gruber. He commands Gruber to somehow get Ren to reveal the whereabouts of the paintings. Edith arranges a romantic dinner for her and Ren at the caf. It is supposed to be a reprise of their honeymoon night before Ren is to marry Denise (or at least, so he thinks). The next morning, Michelle informs Edith that she has kidnapped Denise and put her in a mine shaft. Edith hurriedly goes to put on the wedding dress. Meanwhile, Ren is getting ready as Gruber arrives to question him. He is most disappointed to learn of the wedding. Ren assures Gruber and Von Strohm that the paintings are safe. Finally, the ceremony starts and Ren is shocked when Edith briefly lifts her thick veil to him. However, Edith's plan goes awry because Yvette and Mimi have substituted the priest with Crabtree, thus making the ceremony invalid.moreless
