Wait, what?
The quirks and curveballs that make this one a little weirder than your average Hallmark. No spoilers, promise.
- The concept of a 'Bridal Boot Camp' that functions as a hybrid of CrossFit and intensive group therapy.
- A 'medicine ball sharing' exercise where participants must confess personal secrets before passing the ball.
- The groom-to-be being hired to take 'sexy' marketing photos of the woman he is secretly falling for while his fiancée is in the next room.
- A subplot involving a 1/16th Scottish man insisting on bagpipes and a kilt for his wedding.
