Always grounds for temporary heartbreak and temporary conflict in Hallmark World. And it’s such a shocker when Henry learns that “Maisie” is really Maggie and has not been forthcoming truth-wise. But it doesn’t trigger any questions or further research on the part of our crack investigative reporter. He narrows his search and up comes the bride, “rider,” and “Maisie,” Alexis’s horse. The “Huh, What” moment? Henry googles “Maisie Ryder’s” name and she doesn’t exist on the internet. Maggie knows nothing about wine and comes up with some real howlers. A champion rider, She names Maggie after her horse and tells everyone Maggie is a wine sommelier or distributor or something. The bride, put on the spot, came up with her name and cover on the spur of the moment. Much of the humor stems from Maggie’s cover story to protect her identity and function. Also kudos to Francesca Bianchi, who played the beautiful and down-to-earth bride. I wouldn’t be averse to seeing her again as the head girl. She had an expressive face and good delivery. I liked the actress, Lillian Doucet-Roche, who played the maid of honor. All were averted thanks to Maisie’s competence and professionalism. There were the usual almost disasters with dresses, the bridal shower venue, invitations, and gift bags, most of them courtesy of the Maid of Honor, a disorganized and flaky young lady trying too hard to make up for past missteps with her cousin, the bride. Henry falls hard and fast for Maisie/Maggie and is adorable doing so. He is running for office, doesn’t want to commit to a stand on the park just yet, and wants to avoid bad press. Maisie’s job description is soon expanded to include keeping Henry away from the mayor. But he just can’t help himself because he loves the park so much. He is under strict orders to stay focused on dresses, cakes, and flowers, rather than whether or not the Mayor is going to take a stand on saving a local park from development. As her love interest, Chandler Massey plays Henry, an investigative political reporter who is forced to cover her wedding. Hunter King plays Maisie Ryder (real name Maggie), an undercover “professional bridesmaid.” She has been hired to make the Mayor’s daughter Alexis’s road to her wedding as easy and as stress-free as possible. Hunter King seems to be being groomed for a role as a Hallmark regular and I’ve enjoyed Chandler Massey in previous productions with no reservations. There was one “Huh?,What?” moment, but it wasn’t anything big or super stupid. Or even anything even vaguely irritating. And what Hallmark fan doesn’t like weddings? The two leads, Hunter King and Chandler Massey, were young, attractive, and appealing, and the set decoration made it nice to look at. A pleasant diversion, especially if you are really into wedding stories, one of Hallmark’s main spring themes. This was light, fun, and amusing in spots.
