Willow (Cook) needs an Inn for her sister's wedding, all the other venues are booked. David (Ayres) owns an inn but he is not willing to rent it out for the wedding because he plans on selling it at the end of the holidays. This story is about Willow and David working together to plan a perfect wedding for her family and to bring happiness back to he and his daughter. Her family used to own the inn, but sold it when her father died. There is some history to be unearthed. Will David allow them to rent the inn, will he sell it, or is there a better option somewhere in the middle?
I love Cook, she's in my top ten female leads for Hallmark. I like Ayres a lot, he can bring comedy with his characters on his expressions and delivery. Together these two just didn't quite bring the magic. He brought some humor, but they don't mesh well. She does not reciprocate his humor, and so it feels like some of it falls flat, making him seem callous. I was a bit frustrated with his stubbornness, it seemed flimsy and unwarranted. My theory is that it was due to the lack of chemistry between them. The story is underdeveloped, they needed more script, it's not inviting, there is no real adventure, just standard Hallmark fare with no thrills.
