After a difficult season of grief, she's taken over the family business of coordinating the town's most beautiful and memorable weddings with the help of her friend and co-worker Roseanne (Fields). However, when the charming and incredibly irritating Marco (Cupo) opens a legal practice that specializes in divorces right next to her wedding chapel, Wendy is going to make sure that she stops at nothing to promote her business and the sanctity of marriage. Along the way, Wendy learns that self-discovery and moving on are the ways to finding true happiness.

On the Author, Diann Hunt:

I am sad to share that author, Diann Hunt, passed away on November 29, 2013, following a long battle with cancer. She was 58. Diann left behind a beautiful family, her husband, two children, seven grandchildren, and dear friends, to whom we extend our deepest sympathies and prayers. Diann had written 25 faith-filled books. Her writings have certainly touched my life and the lives of many of her readers.

This is how Diann Hunt is described in the dust jacket, of many of her books... "Diann Hunt wrote romantic comedy and humorous women's fiction targeted to Christian women of the Baby Boomer generation. She'd lived in Indiana forever, had been happily married forever, loved her family, chocolate, her friends, her dog, and, well, chocolate."

I know many of her fans are excited to see her work developed for this Hallmark Movie.

Please let me know in the comments below, if you have read any of Diann Hunt's books. I absolutely loved the "Smitten" Book Series, in which see had written one of the four Novellas in each book, along with writers and friends, Colleen Coble, Denise Hunter, and Kristin Billerbeck.


Actresses Lisa Whelchel and Kim Fields:

"For Better or For Worse" stars actresses Lisa Whelchel and Kim Fields, who both starred in the popular 1980's sitcom, "Facts of Life", where teenage girls, Blair (Lisa Whelchel), Jo, Natalie, and Tootie (Kim Fields) lived at a boarding school under the watchful eye of Mrs. Garret.
