Now he wants to one-up her by retrieving the charm first? Sarah refuses to let that happen. The race is on. When Sarah and Ben arrive in Atlanta, instead of finding the wedding charm there’s a letter from the bride’s grandmother directing the bride and groom to complete a series of tasks in order to prove their commitment to each other.
