Maya Chen has planned 47 flawless weddings. The 48th goes viral when the groom's cake collapses onto the officiant and the hashtag WeddingDisasterPro trends for seventy-two hours. Her firm fires her within the week. With savings running out and her reputation in ruins, Maya takes the only job her battered roster can land: a referral from a desperate bride in Seattle. The catch arrives when she reads the groom's name. Daniel Park. Her college boyfriend. The man she left, or who left her, depending on whose version you believe. Maya drives to the first consultation planning to keep her head down and her sunglasses on. The fiancee, Sophie Beaumont (31), greets her at the door and immediately says: I know who you are. I Googled you before I called. You are still the best. Sophie does not appear to consider this a problem. Daniel does not recognize Maya until the second morning when he spills his entire coffee. The next four weeks produce: a venue that double-booked them with a corporate conference, a mother-of-the-bride named Vivienne Beaumont who treats the wedding as a diplomatic summit, a florist who only communicates through interpretive arrangement, and the slow dawning realization that Maya finds Sophie far more interesting than she finds Daniel. The film is a comedy about competence, old stories, and the particular courage required to want something new. Nobody makes a speech. The ending earns its warmth without sentimentality.
