When Jordan wakes up the next morning unable to recall the night before, she panics when she finds she is in movie star Matt Swift's hotel suite with a gigantic diamond on her finger and a marriage certificate lying nearby. Matt explains that the previous night they got on stage with a Journey cover band, won $6000 at the craps table, went to the hottest nightclub in town and got married at a Las Vegas wedding chapel. When Matt learns that Jordan was engaged and the reason for the bachelorette getaway, Matt promises Jordan they can have the marriage annulled and she can put this nightmare behind her in a couple days.
