The night before the wedding Kym goes to confront her mother, (who is married for a second time) to find out why the mother put Kym in charge of her younger brother. Ten years ago, Kym got high while she was driving her brother. They got into a car accident and he was killed. So Kym and her mother fight about it.

Kym passes them and is brought home.

The next scene is Rachel's wedding. I liked the wedding the most out of any other part in the movie.

Kym stays sober during the wedding. Earlier on, Kym slept with the best man. He happened to be a recovering alcoholic who had been sober for seven years. Kym wanted to be like him. So Kym wants to go back to rehab. She wasn't ready to be around the day to day stress.

The last scene is the day after the wedding. Kym opens the front door and the woman from the rehabilitation center is there to take Kym back. The End.
