Is that enough for a story? But they weren't high school sweethearts who split when one went off to college. No, their past is limited to a failed blind date. Still somehow Liam seems to know a lot about Emma. This is another story where the bride and groom completely leave town for the full six weeks leading up to the wedding so Emma and Liam have to "stand in". She keeps saying she is not a wedding planner even though she is a corporate event planner. She keeps telling her sister it will be "the wedding of your dreams." The writers sneak in a couple of "we are not together" disclaimers by the not-couple. But another deviation from the usual rom/com story about an employee is that the boss keeps telling her to stop working, not work faster. The story is relatively thin with the usual wedding planning things. It seems too good to be true that there are no disasters until... lets just say they stole one from the common Christmas pageant disaster. There is a very small side story where Emma's widowed mom meets someone.

I think Emily Tennant comes close to saving this. She is likeable with few faults. She and Alec Santos have quiet chemistry.

Every rom/com needs a conflict to throw a kink in the lead romance. This one revolves around the usual wrong assumptions but didn't seem that big a deal.
