'Step into the glamorous world of Penelope's Couture where wedding gowns are created for Sydney's elite.

'For many years Penelope has built up a reputation not only for her exquisite gowns, but also for the added mystic 'extra' that comes with each sumptuous creation: a reading of her clients' future in their coffee cups.

'However, the murky grounds of the coffee can reveal unexpected secrets... When shocking revelations are seen in Penelope's own cup, gowns and emotions go flying as the elegant world of her salon is turned into chaos!

'Into this crazy mix add: Elly (her daughter), who takes her mother's profession a little too literally and is about to step into her own wedding gown - and marriage - number three; her quirky staff; some difficult socialite brides and two Greek matchmakers who put internet dating to shame... and you have "Grounds for Marriage" ...'
