Ok I worked my butt of looking this up for you so please take time to read this thank you.
So there is a guy from New York, he is the leader of the Greek house in his college and his name is Don his friends Benard McGlorey and Rich Tarn just got sent home from the war in Iraq and there college dean and his daughter come to congradulate them. While her father is out of the room she invites them to a masked frat party. Benard had a baby with his girlfriend a couple of years ago, and Benard's girlfriend, is being secretly loved by Rich. So Benard and Far are fighting and he tries to tell him not to love her. Benard swears that he will never get married, although he loves his girlfriend. He is irrasponsible. At the frat party, Far's brother, Yao (who is jelous of Far) is telling Rich that Far told him hat he is not happy for you and he wished he stayed at war...forever. Rich is angry at Far and they have a fight. Rich then relises that Yao was lieing and Far and Rich make up. Later at the party after a few funny jokes and stuff Rich then tells Far a secret that he is engaged to Benard's girlfriend. So then Far and his friends and his brother eavsdrop on Rich Benard's girlfriend btw his girlfriends name is Vell. So a couple of days later since the wedding is in a few days Yao try's to change Rich's asperations saying he shouldn't be married. Rich doesn't listen to him and keeps making plans for the wedding. So then since Yao has a short tempure he goes to the open window of Rich's and Vell's bedroom window with Benard where they are sleeping (they are never and not having sex just sleeping together) so then Benard climbs in the window and yells at them. Vell feels guilty and decides the next day at the church not to marry Rich, and she runs away from the alter. Benard and Far humiliate Rich at the church and Rich passes out at the shock and embarassment of everything and his father awakes them once Far and Benard leave. So Yao (as nasty as he is) convinces Rich to fake his death so then Far and Benard can pay a fine. Soo then Frankie, Rich's uncle blames Far and Benard for Rich's pretend death. Benard then escapes but, Far goes to jail. Inside the cell he kills himself. So then the three of them, Frankie, Rich and Yao get caught by a police officer when they are talking about there plans about faking Rich's death and the three of them go to jail. When they are walking in the jail they see Far dead, and a knife in his chest, so his cousin Larry Pedi takes his place as the Greek House leader. Later on Vell decides she loves Benard and needs there baby to have a loving father so they get married but, they are wearing masks at the wedding and they don't tell who they are. At the alter they take off there masks and everyone is very suprised that Benard and her are getting married since he swore never to get married and it's not Rich. At the end of the story Benard wispers to Vell, in the limo going to there hunny moon, "even though you have betraded me I decided to give you another chance, I love you and I can break a swear for you...your worth it."

Callie is a rockstar, give her ten points for all of that I just want pipe in you can pretty much Shakespeare in any time and it works, so just think about the story and update it, it seems like the plot should be the same, just ppick a locale and make it work.
