Marry Me at Christmas – Synopsis
Organizing a Christmas wedding is a true treat for bridal boutique owner Madeline Krug. She loves the challenge of finding the perfect dress for the bride and orchestrating an exquisite event. What Madeline didn’t expect was to be swept off her feet by the bride’s gorgeous brother, movie star Johnny Blaze. Jonny came to the quirky town of Fool’s Gold to support his sister — not to fall in love. Yet Madeline is the most extraordinary woman he’s ever met. Planning the perfect wedding leads to candlelit dinners and strolls through snow-covered streets. Madeline finds the real Johnny even more captivating than her celebrity crush. Will the action star be brave enough to take on the role of a lifetime?
Is Marry Me at Christmas worth watching? – Review
A Christmas wedding in a Christmassy town, there’s chemistry and Christmas joy aplenty. The acting is good enough to carry the story, it’s not overly cheesy, and the storyline itself is based on a book – so of course has a decent plot.
Conclusion
Definitely worth a watch, I wouldn’t put it at the top of the list – but also wouldn’t complain if someone else wanted to watch it.
