This movie starts off sweet enough, with Libby and Ben having an instant connection. They have so much in common and chemistry right off the bat. But when Libby finds out that Ben is anti huge wedding, she goes completely crazy. She literally yells and gripes at him through most of the movie. I understand that Libby is worried that his on a budget wedding book might hurt her wedding planning business. But she takes it way too personally and treats Ben badly. He takes it in stride though and still actually likes her. One can only assume it's because she's beautiful. Or he is a glutton for punishment and likes Libby's fiery personality. I just know that she got on my last nerve.

At one point, they are both talking to a bride and groom to be. Ben is college friends with the groom, Alex, and gives him budget friendly ideas. Libby, on the other hand, gives the bride, Annie, expensive dream wedding ideas. This causes a rift between the to-be married couple and they break up. Libby and Ben work to get them back together and also give them a low cost dream wedding. It works and everything is set in motion, until Annie and Alex decide to elope. This leaves Libby holding the bag on all of their wedding expenses. Ben comforts her and promises that everything will be ok. He will help her so she won't lose her business from this financial blow.

THEN, it cuts to the wedding on a boat that Annie and Alex were supposed to have. Libby is happy and smiling. So I'm thinking, "Did they talk Annie and Alex into not eloping? Or did they get money from them? Is this a new wedding on a boat? How did Ben help Libby fix the money issue? What is going on?" Well, I find out that this is LIBBY AND BEN's wedding!!! They just took the place of Annie and Alex. Say what? Sure, Libby and Ben have a connection and they do get along while planning together. But, she was so ridiculously mean to him for most of their time together. Now they just get married. Talk about a completely RUSHED ending.

Overall, this movie isn't very memorable. When trying to remember details, I find that's it's difficult. And I literally JUST watched it. What I WILL remember is how Libby was just as annoying as Ben was charming.

I love Hallmark movies, but I really like a few of them. This is one of the even better ones. These two have different ideas about what a wedding should be. The man thinks you should save your money and be practical, because he was once hurt. While the woman thinks it is your one perfect day and you should make it special. The only weird part is the end. OK watch James Welch Henderson, Arkansas 6/18/2021.

Libby Boland (Alexa PenaVega) is a hard-working wedding planner starting up with her assistant Michelle. She meets Ben Reynolds (Shawn Roberts) at a wedding convention and sparks fly. He's a writer and he's promoting his first book, 'Wedding Day Do's and Don'ts'. To her horror, his book advocates for cheap unadorned weddings.

This is Hallmark doing a Hallmark movie. Of course, Libby is a wedding planner. The guy is so clueless that he doesn't get why she's mad. He's literally destroying her business and doesn't know why she's not head over heels over him. It would be so much better if he doesn't do the puppy dog face and go full antagonist. He comes off as dumb which his character is definitely not. It's not endearing to her and it's very frustrating. He needs to understand her point of view or else he comes off as a bad match. That's the crux of this movie. They need to be a good match but the movie does nothing other than they're relatively photogenic. She's no catch either in her superiority. Neither are appealing and they only match as infuriating characters. There is a way to do this but this movie has no clue getting there.
