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

we lose more clients and money.

Okay, please just listen

to me, everybody...

Just relax, okay?

Okay, now, I'm sorry

that you feel this way,

but when Mr. Reynolds filled out

his application and paid his fee...

Which is not cheap,

as you all know...

Well, he earned his right to sell

his services, the same as any of you.

Now, it's called competition.

No, Brian, it's not competition

when somebody is here

to destroy our businesses

and ruin our livelihoods.

Well, that's a bit much,

isn't it?

Hey, guys!

Great party.

Here's to weddings.

What was going on down there?

Everybody left so quickly.

They were probably tired.

Party poopers.

Yeah.

Well...

- Good night.

- Good night.

Good night.

Yeah.

Good night.

I think you were

right about Ben.

I mean, so what, we have

a few philosophical differences.

He's a good guy.

And a terrific dancer.

Yeah.

I mean, do you see how his whole

face lights up when he smiles?

It's like...

Told ya.

I don't know 'Chelle,

My heart just pulses

every time I see him.

What?

Tell me I am not seeing this.

What? They're just

having breakfast.

That is so much more

than breakfast!

Libs, they're old friends,

probably reliving glory days

over bacon and eggs.

Don't be naive.

That is Benedict Arnold

meeting with the British.

Those are our clients,

and he's trying to steal them!

Libby, no...

Call it instinct,

call it intuition...

Call it crazy.

I'm a little worried that triple-shot

latte might be having ill affects.

How about a decaf?

You know what,

I'm going to walk in there,

and I'm going to tell that Judas

exactly how I feel about him.

Okay, you are overreacting.

I mean, what exactly do you

think they're talking about?

I don't know.

By the time he's done with them,

they're going to be eloping.

In Vegas.

With Elvis.

That's ridiculous.

Come on, let's open the booth.

Crazy lady...

I'm not saying that

you should elope to Vegas

and get married by Elvis,

but I am saying

that you shouldn't spend

all your money on one day.

I mean, you're going to need

every penny of it

for the down payment

on your house.

And we were thinking

about getting a place, right?

Yes, but...

we'll have lots

of time to do that.

But every month paying rent

is money not building equity.

And you're missing tax benefits

and write-offs...

What about our

family and friends?

And I really liked the idea

of arriving in a carriage.

What's more romantic

than butterflies?

I know, sweetie, but the

wedding you're talking about

costs... beaucoup dollars.

Probably more than that.

It's 3:
30.

They were supposed to

be here at 3:
00.

What did I tell you?

So they're running late.

What's the big deal?

The big deal is that Ben

has stolen our clients!

I'm gonna go find them.

Suit yourself.

Well, good day,

Weddings by Libby.

Where are you hiding them?

Hiding who?

Don't play dumb.

I saw you having breakfast

with my clients.

Alex and Annie?

What, were you spying on me?

Hardly.

I just happened

to be walking by.

I hope you're not filling their heads

with your ill-advised philosophy.

Well, they

invited me to breakfast.

Someone needs to speak

some common sense.

I knew it.

Knew what?

Ben, I think you should know,

some people at the Expo

are saying some

terrible things about you,

and I'm starting to think

they might be right.

Hey!

So glad I ran into you guys.

Did you forget about

our appointment?

It's okay.

Don't even worry about it.

So over the last couple of days,

you've had a chance to look around

get some information.

We did.

We definitely did.

Coming here has been

extremely eye-opening.

Well, that's great.

Hopefully, you had a chance

to figure out what you like,

what you don't like.

Yeah.

All the information,

all the opinions,

it really forced us

to start talking about...

Fight about.

Discuss.

Guys, you know what,

I know it can be

really stressful,

so why don't we just start

with something easy.

Are we still sticking to

a June wedding?

We don't have to do June.

Nothing's set.

Why don't we look at

something later in the year?

I love October weddings.

It won't be in October.

Okay, well, um,

November's kind of getting

a little late in the season...

We decided we don't

want a wedding at all.

I'm sorry to hear that.

Are you guys thinking

of a Justice of the Peace?

Not exactly.

Look, I'm not here to rush you guys,

so whenever you're ready,

"Weddings by Libby"

will be here to help you

with whatever you need.

We're not getting

married at all.

We're breaking up.

You're breaking up?

We realized

that we can't agree on anything.

It's not just

the venue or the cake.

It's everything.

If we can't compromise

and make one day work,

how can we make

a lifetime together work?

We lost Alex and Annie.

Not surprising, and probably

not a terrible thing.

They had no idea

what they wanted.

We would have been holding

their hand the whole time.

Actually,

they split up altogether.

That's awful...

and so unexpected.

They seemed so happy,

and in love, and cute together.

Well, now they're unhappy,

split up, and not as cute.

Man.

Break-ups are the worst.

You just want to curl up into a ball

and eat tuna casserole for days.

Tuna casserole?

We all have our own way

of mourning.

I make tuna casserole.

Then I eat it.

Don't judge me.

Okay, you're right.

Your tuna casserole

is my pineapple pizza.

- Pineapple pizza?

- It's good.

Give me a hand with this?

Ready?

My gosh, this is so heavy.

I think it's stuck.

Here, let me help you with that.

Thanks.

To the rescue again.

You are unbelievable.

I'm sure you heard what

happened to Alex and Annie.

Yeah, I heard.

If you would have just

stayed out of my business,

none of this

would have happened,

and they would still be planning

the wedding of their dreams.

Okay, wait a minute.

First off, they came to me,

asking for advice.

You had them walking

down some primrose path

to a wedding

they couldn't afford.

Just because you had

a bad experience

doesn't mean you should

ruin it for everyone else.

And I suppose

your six-year-old's version

of a pie-in-the-sky

fairy-tale wedding

is something

you still believe in,

no matter

what the circumstances.

Well, for some people,

love is real

and romance isn't dead,

so, no matter what you say...

You know what, you're

never going to understand.

So, just take your stupid book

"Do" get out of my life

and "Don't" ever call me again.

So...

what's with the pineapple pizza?

It's an acquired taste.

Have a slice.

I'll pass, I'll pass...

So, we need to keep

the buzz going,

and I propose

that we hit the road.

Here's your itinerary.

I thought you were talking about

a book tour.

These are all bridal expos

and wedding conventions.

Hey, that's our audience.

Yeah, but at expos,

I'm basically

pitching against vendors

that are there promoting

weddings and their services.

And once again, by the end,
