Wedding-phobic Charlotte Bennett (Jen Lilley) does the runaway bride thing twice. She gains some success as a chocolatier. Her groom-to-be James Cooper gives up on another attempt and cancels their upcoming wedding. She decides to secretly organize it herself. She has an interview with an important chocolate magazine's Nicole Sweeney (Jessica Lowndes) who is selecting America's top chocolatier. It turns out that Nicole is James' the-one-who-got-away.
Why not just elope? Just go to city hall. The premise of this Hallmark romance is a little light. It could still work. I don't think the lead has the comedic chops to pull this off although she's nice enough. Lowndes' looks is a little shocking. She seems to have done one too many surgeries. It's probably the movie's intention to make her look high maintenance to take on the villain role. I can see this being reworked to be a much better rom-com. As it stands, it's an average Hallmark at best.
