Synopsis: Upstart wedding planner Libby Boland makes dreams come true by designing romantic fairy tale weddings for her clients. Problem is there's no romance in her own life. All that changes when she falls for Ben Reynolds, author of the new book, 'Wedding Day Do's and Don'ts." Unfortunately, their blossoming romance is threatened when she discovers that Ben's book is a primer for getting married on the cheap -- completely incompatible with everything she believes. Sparks fly at a wedding expo where Libby and Ben battle over clients. But when Libby's livelihood is threatened, Ben finds a creative way to come to her rescue

Bridal Expo, right,

that would explain all

the white dresses downstairs.

Yeah, that would

explain the dresses,

and the florists,

and the caterers,

and the venue representatives,

and you know,

and wedding planners.

Everyone here, myself included,

we make a living

because of "the big event,"

so thank you very much.

I'm just offering

a different perspective.

A "small event" perspective.

Well, that's not gonna work.

Last year's theme was

"Go big or go home".

So, please, go home.

Let's think outside of the box.

Have you guys considered

Franklin Gardens?

Where's that?

Hawaii.

Place looks incredible.

Here is the tropical garden,

where you could say your vows.

This resort offers everything,

specialty shops,

multiple restaurants.

They even a heart-shaped pool.

This is a one-of-a-kind experience

for you and your guests,

a romantic weekend wedding

that you will never forget.

You will absolutely love

Franklin Gardens.

I swear, it's like they've trained

their birds to chirp on cue.

And Cassandra,

the spa is to die for.

It's how every bride should be

pampered before her wedding day.

That does sound amazing.

Sorry.

Alex, Annie!

Hey, Michelle has

the contract for you to sign.

Actually, we're just heading to

an event, but we'll come by after.

Of course. Have fun.

All right.

- See you.

- See you.

Sorry about that.

So, if this is something

that interests you,

I would suggest

picking a date now,

because they get

completely booked.

It's a lovely place,

but...

We saw Ben Reynolds

speak, and...

afterwards, we bought his book.

It's like he says

in the first chapter,

"I don't see what

all the big fuss is about".

Well, Daniel,

the "fuss" is the fact

that this is your one

and only wedding day.

Something you'll cherish

for the rest of your life.

She does have a point.

But, Honey, I...

just don't think we're ready

to make that decision.

Can we talk to you tomorrow?

Of course.

Great.

Thanks again.

Thank you.

Talk to you soon.

What just happened?

I'll tell you

what just happened.

We lost a client, and they lost

the wedding of their dreams.

...You can spend thousands of

dollars for a resort near the water,

or you could get married

on the beach

with a permit that costs

a few hundred bucks.

Thank you.

In other words, the resort is

a "Don't" and the beach is a "Do".

Hi.

Hey, everyone, have you met

"Weddings by Libby"?

Thank you, "Book by Ben".

Hi, everyone.

"Weddings by Libby"

is down on your left.

The place

where dreams come true.

No hard feelings?

Not one.

On the house.

Please, I insist.

Would you like me to sign it?

No, thank you.

Can I take you to dinner?

I'll take a rain check.

Everybody's got to eat.

I think we did pretty well

for our first day.

We've got at least

six interested couples, and...

Libby...

you want to... focus here

for a few minutes?

"Consider the bang

for your buck.

Does a limo get you there

any better than... "

Seriously, who pays

$16.95 for this?

Except for me,

'cause I'm doing research.

So it's one of those,

"Know your competition" things?

My gosh, he's not

our competition.

He has a little book he's selling.

So what?

So you do care what he thinks?

I don't.

Clearly, you do.

No, everybody's

talking about it,

and I figured

it can't hurt to read it.

Give me a break.

Listen to this.

"When shopping for

the bridesmaids' dresses,

"consider something

elegant but versatile.

"Let's face it,

"you pick some crazy color

to match your place settings,

and those dresses

will never be worn again".

He can't be serious.

There's a reason that

you pick a color scheme.

Well, he is kind of right

about never wearing it again.

I've got three dresses

that will forever remain

in the back of my closet.

We are...

"Body... by Bobby".

Are you ready!

Let's go, on my count!

One! Two!

And punch.

One, two, three...

He's suggesting

that the bride and groom

have a friend go down

to the flower mart

the night before the wedding

and purchase flowers.

So the flowers are a "Do,"

but the florist is a 'Don't"?

Yeah, and then

he expects these amateurs

to actually arrange the flowers.

He says it will get more people

involved in the ceremony.

What a joke.

"Music", the more you

add, the more it costs.

"You start with a soloist and

a string quartet at the ceremony,

"then a band or a D.J.

for the reception.

Instead, create a song list...

I'm sorry, is he actually

suggesting pulling out an iPod...

...and hitting shuffle?

- Yes!

- Ooh...

"If you control the music,

you never have to worry about

the chicken dance again".

Well, the chicken dance

is awkward.

Are you agreeing with him?

See? It's a little awkward.

Don't do that.

Do not do that.

It's awkward!

Wow, your twitter feed

is really blowing up.

What are they saying?

Cindy B tweeted,

"Blown away by the panel,

loved Libby's speech".

Purplesky says, "Weddings

By Libby" had the best booth.

It's where creativity meets

wedding awesome-ness".

Well, Purplesky is brilliant.

I'll say so.

There are also a lot of tweets

linked to the Bridal Expo page.

All pretty good.

"Libby rocks".

"Libby is still

the queen of the ball".

What?

It's nothing.

It's just...

Well, they can't all be good.

I can take it.

From PattyCakes,

"The big wedding is old school.

"The trend at the Expo

is to dump the big event".

"Old School?"

How is it old school?

She wrote that on our page?

Actually, it was retweeted.

From guess who?

Yeah, no, I know who it is.

He's got a ton of hits

on his twitter following, too...

You know, good for him.

Good for him,

let's just start fresh.

Okay.

Facebook page.

I posted a lot of new pictures.

Good.

We got 132 likes.

Nice.

Including Ben Reynolds.

What?

He liked our page?

Why does that surprise you?

He likes you.

My gosh...

And you like him.

I do not like him.

Okay, Libs,

if you say so.

I should go.

We have another

early start tomorrow morning.

Okay, even if I did like him,

it couldn't ever work.

I mean, we're

complete opposites.

Well, opposites attract.

It's impossible.

Everything I stand for,

everything I love, he hates.

Libs...

please listen to me.

You spend all of your energy making

your clients' dreams come true.

You live through the romance

of other people.

When are you going to stop

running the show

and let yourself fall in love?

You like this guy.

So, for once,

why not follow your heart?

- Good morning.

- Good morning.

I saw that you liked

our Facebook page.

I did.

That was nice.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

I read your book last night.

I don't agree with much of the

content, but you write well.

Thank you.

I think.

Did you major in English?

I majored in economics

and philosophy.

Is that where you formulated your

theories on love and marriage?

No, that came later.

Going my way?

If it isn't the happy couple.

Still not getting married?

No.

Well, that's too bad.

You make such a lovely pair.
