Local journalist Cassie is getting married to hot-shot, reliable Timothy and his mother Sylvia nicknamed 'Monster-in-Law' wants to plan the entire wedding. When Sylvia books the exclusive ID Images to take photographs of the extravagant do, Cassie has no idea what she's walking into.
The elusive JM, ID Images' newest photographer, just so happens to be Jared, Cassie's first love and ex-fiance, who broke off their engagement to travel and take photos of far-reaching wonders. He's back to pay for his next wild adventure.
Cassie decides it's best to pretend not to know him, but when she's asked to write an article for her newspaper, she's tasked with a column surrounding all things wedding related. When Cassie jokingly writes a column meant for herself depicting her situation, a co-worker submits it in place of the real article and it's soon making headlines, with readers asking the age old question - Who Will She Choose?
