Plot

As part of a Life Skills field trip, Chuckie has to pretend to marry Fridge, Angelica to Susie, Harold to a girl named Harriet, who is just like him, Darryl to Brianna, and various others. Mr. Pangborn and Ms. O'Keats are chaperones for the trip. Chuckie feels like Fridge is ignoring him when the latter doesn't respond to anything the former says. Harold and Harriet quickly bond over their common interests. At the bridal shop, Angelica is trying on a dress, despite it being unnecessary for the field trip, but she gets stuck in it, so she and Susie are left behind when the latter helps her.

Meanwhile, Tommy, Dil, Phil and Lil sneak out of school so that Lil can get an autograph from her idol, a famous soccer player.
