  2. Best Woman is referred to Maid of Honor because There's no a such of Best Woman at the wedding.


    Only Best Man & Maid of Honor at the wedding

    1. I think it's supposed to be a fun play on words. Since the Groom, in this case, in "From Friend to Fiance," is asking a female friend to stand beside him on his wedding day, it appears he is referring to her as "Best Woman," instead of the typical phrase, "Best Man."

    1. So looking forward to seeing A Feeling of Home. I always enjoy a good country setting in these Hallmark movies, like "A Country Wedding" or "Autumn Dreams!"

  5. Oh it feels like summer here already! Warm temps and flowers all in bloom. Like the new movie added...it looks like it might be the best one of all of them. To be perfectly honest...none of the summer movies look like they will be my favorites...just not that exciting! Too many repeated storylines and none of them I saw from the preview show had a spark...but I will watch, you never know one might surprise you!
