Joanna Garcia (so cute)plays Roxanne the daughter who does not want mommy to marry Jack. Now mom and daughter run a local bridal shop. Joanna tries every thing she can think of to disrupt their wedding plans including offering to plan the wedding, thereby hoping to delay it. She pokes and pries looking for anything to derail the event. Luke Perry shows up as the son of the groom to be. He is just as determined to break up the nuptials as Joanna is. His from greed and hers from being needy and not wanting any change in her life. There are a few scenes where the older couple are being very affectionate and I like that. There is no reason older people can't have romance and excitement in the later years. Mom begins to get suspicious as things go wrong, such as a wine auction that son and daughter show Jack so he will miss the meet and greet with moms friends, stealing jack's cell phone so he can't call to say he is late. Of course Joanna starts to come around when she sees that Jack is actually a good guy and mom does love him. Luke Perry is still trying to put the kibosh on things but now Joanna is fighting him tooth and nail, until a big bridal chain buys a lot down the street. The chain turns out to be owned by Jack and his son. Jack knows nothing about it because Luke is still trying to ruin everything. Luke is stopped when he needs daddy's signature and doesn't get it. At the end Joanna finds out Jack is still a good guy and sets up the reconciliation between her mom and Jack. The wedding goes off and all live happily ever after except for Luke. Oh yeah an old beau of Joanna shows up and they seem to rekindle the sparks from their past. A feel good movie for this time of year.
