Movie Review:

Please know, I have not pre-screened this movie; however, like many of you I have seen the commercials, which includes two brides getting married. This is one of the four wedding ceremonies the lead characters attend through the course of the film. Due to this storyline, I will not be watching this movie. I know there are people of all faiths (or no faith at all) who believe as I do - in traditional marriage. My family and I have chosen to do what is right for us - according to our beliefs and Christian faith. The Bible speaks strongly against this and we will always stand on God's Word. I'm not worried about what the world thinks about me. My only concern is what God thinks!

I know Hallmark wishes to be more "inclusive" with their movies, but this one does not include my (and many others) values. I feel very excluded now from the Hallmark movies I've always loved.

Before any of you view this film, I wanted to make certain you all are aware of this storyline - so you can choose what is right for you.

If you're interested, I spoke more in depth about this subject - *HERE!*


See or Skip:

I must recommend skipping this movie for those who believe in traditional marriage - as I do.
