Two discarded lovers swap vows at a double wedding disaster.

Eleanor Vance flees her own ceremony when the groom next door crashes in, declaring she is his only love despite his dying fiancée waiting nearby. The narrator stands humiliated as his mother collapses from shock. In the wreckage, he locks eyes with the other abandoned bride and quietly proposes they exchange partners. That impulsive pact binds them for three years and produces two children, creating a fragile new family built on mutual rescue rather than romance.
