Lyssa, a childhood friend of Phoebe and Piper, is getting married. At the very last minute, she phones Phoebe to ask her to be bridesmaid. A written invitation apparently has gotten lost in the mail. A misplaced invitation won't be the last aspect of the wedding in Serenity Cove that goes awry. Nixies, magical beings of some sort, wreak havoc on the wedding plans as they conspire to ruin the food, the dresses and just about anything these water beings can dream up.
Beneath the surface, however, there loom larger problems. Lyssa's wedding to James, an archeologist who explores the mythology surrounding the keeper of the lighthouse whose ghost is blamed for much of what goes wrong in Serenity Cove, will take place on the one-hundredth anniversary of a wedding between the keeper and his bride-to-be Trudy that never took place. Taken from the keeper because the lighthouse failed to illumine during a terrible storm that caused the ship that was transporting Trudy to crash onto the reef, Trudy died and was lost at sea. Swearing revenge, the keeper has acquired demonic powers that will require the utmost concentration of the Charmed Ones in order to prevent the keeper from exacting his revenge upon all living things.
To make matters worse, when James stumbles across an old pocket watch, the keeper is able to possess James. It is he who will marry Lyssa, not James. Indeed, the keeper must marry Lyssa for her family has been entrusted with guarding the Light of the World, a very powerful stone whose power the keeper requires in order to unleash his vengeance. Marrying Lyssa will allow him to gain access to the Light of the World, as Lyssa's parents plan to present it to their daughter.
