Plot Synopsis

Business consultant Caryn Briggs is still single at 30, but is in no rush to wed. She's always been skeptical about marriage, thinking the commitment would mean throwing away her future. She has let a string of steady boyfriends get away in favor of her own freedom. When she attends a fundraising event with friends Gregg and Stephanie, she playfully agrees to have her fortune read at a charity booth run by soothsayer Madame Rue, who ominously predicts she'll have an engagement ring by spring or she'll never marry. She doesn't give much thought to Madame Rue's fortune as she starts a new job with friendly, laid-back boss Tom Halsey, with whom she has a lot in common. But when Stephanie and Gregg's fortunes come true, she worries she might be closer to a ring than she thought from her uptight boyfriend, Bryce. Suddenly, very nervous about an impending proposal, she's shocked when Bryce breaks up with her, claiming she isn't marriage material. Finally faced with the truth, she must admit to herself she needs to get over her fear of lifelong commitment. As she forces another try with Bryce, she also forges a friendship with Tom, whose growing feelings for her are no secret. With spring approaching fast and no ring in sight, she wonders if Madame Rue meant to doom her to a lifetime alone and must learn that the true sacrifice isn't getting hitched, but giving up on a real, lasting love.
