In the premiere episode, we are introduced to the Hollywood and royal Oxenberg-Van Dien family, which includes leading man Casper Van Dien, real-life princess and actress Catherine Oxenberg and their ""blended"" medley of children—3 from previous relationships and 2 of their own union. The cameras follow their every move as the couple embarks on a whirlwind adventure to renew their marriage vows, finding the perfect jewels and gowns, and then getting the whole family situated on their ""special"" island. At the same time, Catherine is forced to deal with the consequences of a serious medical issue she has battled for years.

Charity begins at home when Catherine suddenly decides to throw a blow-out benefit party at her Malibu digs with just one week to put it all together. The whole family pitches in with a garage sale and a pre-school performance, except the lead singer, Maya, gets sick. Complications escalate when the guest list grows, rain threatens to put a damper on the party and Casper wears the wrong shirt.
Real-life princess and actress Catherine Oxenberg (""Dynasty,"" ""The Omega Code""), her husband and Hollywood leading man Casper Van Dien (""Starship Troopers,"" ""Tarzan and the Lost City"") and their five rambunctious children share a candid, behind-the-scenes look at their dynamic family in this new half-hour reality series.
