When she's laid off, Niki realizes that being practical hasn't exactly paid off for her. So, for the first time ever, she throws caution to the wind and books a last-minute flight for her friend Diya's wedding.

When Niki and Sam join Diya, her husband, and their friends on a group honeymoon, their connection grows deeper.
