Ms. Matched

Libby Boland is a successful wedding planner in Seattle who lives by the mantra that 'no dream is too big' for a bride's special day. At a major Bridal Expo, she meets Ben Reynolds, a charming man who helps her set up her booth. However, the spark quickly fades when Libby discovers Ben is a financial planner promoting his new book, 'Wedding Day Do's and Don'ts,' which encourages couples to skip expensive traditions in favor of financial stability. Their rivalry intensifies as they are both featured on a panel where Ben suggests a drive-thru wedding in Vegas is a viable alternative to Libby's high-end visions. The conflict becomes personal when Libby's potential clients, Alex and Annie, begin listening to Ben (who is Alex's former college roommate). Ben's pragmatism and Libby's idealism pull the couple in opposite directions, eventually causing Alex and Annie to break up because they cannot agree on a budget or a vision for their future. Feeling guilty for their roles in the split, Libby and Ben reconcile and work together to reunite the couple. Alex and Annie agree to get back together on one condition: Libby and Ben must co-plan the wedding as a 'Dream Team.' This leads to a series of compromises, including a wedding on a harbor cruise boat, catering from food trucks, and a sample-sale wedding dress. During this process, Ben reveals his cynicism stems from a failed marriage to a woman named Marilyn (whom he referred to as 'Carolyn' in a story about a man named 'Len') that left him broke and heartbroken. As the wedding day arrives, Libby has transformed the boat into a beautiful venue that balances romance and budget. However, in a bizarre twist, Alex gets cold feet regarding the 150 guests and the couple decides to elope to Fiji instead. They leave a note for Libby and Ben, explaining that the wedding is fully paid for and they should not let it go to waste. Realizing they have fallen in love despite their differences, Libby and Ben decide to use the venue, the cake, and the guests to get married themselves right then and there.
