After a rough few years of on-again, off-again dating, Robbie and Sharon have finally decided to tie the knot. The couple are from North Preston, which is Nova Scotia's oldest Black community. Here weddings are larger than life, with bridesmaids by the dozen. Sharon wants it all. And Robbie... well, he just wants to get married. They have their hands full organizing a wedding party of more than 30, catering, invitations, bachelor parties, and the hall - often arguing about whether something really needs to be done right now. Toss in stress, sleepless nights, and money, money, money, and you've got a story that's by turns humorous and agonizingly frustrating. << I Made a Vow >> is an entertaining documentary with a stirring gospel soundtrack that reveals the ups and downs of nuptial planning in a unique and vibrant community where weddings are a huge affair.
