Malgré les aspects ridicules du mariage dont elle s'est toujours moquée, c'est un fait : Lola aimerait aujourd'hui qu'Arthur lui demande sa main, au grand dam de ce dernier, qui s'était toujours cru à l'abri de ce genre de péripétie. Mais pour Lola, il n'y a plus d'alternative : c'est le mariage ou la rupture ! Arthur refuse de céder, le couple se sépare… avant de se retrouver. Blessé par cette séparation, Arthur se laisse alors convaincre, mais à la condition que leur mariage soit bien différent des autres.
