The premise
Cara and Ben book the Clara Lake chalet and head back to where their romance began for a small, intimate wedding with friends and family.
How unusual is it?
Honestly? Not very — and that's the charm. It plays the hits, which is exactly the point for a cozy night in.
Who’s in it
You’ve seen this pairing before: Taylor Cole and Jack Turner have made 4 Hallmark movies together.
