Speaker 1: Hey, everybody, welcome to Girls Gone Hallmark, a bonus episode
0:14
Speaker 1: from Long Story Shorts podcast. I'm Megan, I'm Wendy. Today
0:18
Speaker 1: we are discussing our thoughts on One Perfect Wedding, the
0:21
Speaker 1: third installment in the Hallmark Spring Fling series. This is
0:25
Speaker 1: a third of five movies and I.
0:30
Speaker 2: Yeah, what third fot oh in the Springing?
0:35
Speaker 1: Okay, oh, yes, we will not that's trilogy, correct, got it?
0:39
Speaker 1: As we mentioned, this is a bonus episode. Our regular
0:42
Speaker 1: podcast episodes drop every Tuesday morning, and the sleep we
0:45
Speaker 1: talked about our favorite travel destination. So hop on over
0:49
Speaker 1: and give that one to listen if you haven't already.
0:53
Speaker 1: But first, Wendy, do you have a synopsis of One
0:55
Speaker 1: Perfect Wedding?
0:56
Speaker 2: I do one perfect wedding. With her book tour in
1:02
Speaker 2: two weeks and his expanding business plans, Kara and Ben
1:06
Speaker 2: put their long engagement behind them and booked the chalet
1:09
Speaker 2: for a small wedding with friends and family, starring Taylor Cole,
1:16
Speaker 2: Jack Turner, and my favorite Christmas museum manager, Rukia Bernard. Yes,
1:25
Speaker 2: I love her?
1:26
Speaker 1: Do you love her?
1:26
Speaker 2: Spoiler alert?
1:27
Speaker 1: I love her too? I do too. So news and
1:30
Speaker 1: notes on this movie.
1:32
Speaker 2: I had found quite a few, actually awesome. This is
1:37
Speaker 2: the final film in the trilogy. The other two movies
1:42
Speaker 2: are called One Winter Weekend and One Winter Proposal. And
1:49
Speaker 2: I believe this movie was originally going to be called
1:52
Speaker 2: One Winter Wedding, correct, But they had some script problems,
1:58
Speaker 2: script delays.
1:59
Speaker 1: Maybe I read two different things, one that this script
2:02
Speaker 1: needed some work, and then that filming was delayed due
2:06
Speaker 1: to pandemic protocols. Oh so they filmed later, which is
2:11
Speaker 1: why I didn't make it into either the Holiday.
2:14
Speaker 3: Or the Year New Movies, right, Yeah, but then they
2:20
Speaker 3: ended up getting kind of a snowstorm in the middle
2:22
Speaker 3: of filming anyway, so it looks like a winter movie.
2:25
Speaker 2: Yeah, it didn't look like a spring movie. No, I
2:27
Speaker 2: mean it looked like real wintery for sure. For sure.
2:30
Speaker 2: I wonder if this was supposed to be slated in
2:32
Speaker 2: the New Year New Movies. For remember, A New Year's
2:36
Speaker 2: Resolution had been filmed like the year before, and then
2:39
Speaker 2: they popped that one in there, So I wonder if
2:41
Speaker 2: this was supposed to go. I don't who knows, who knows?
2:45
Speaker 2: Who knows? This was filmed in Whistler, British Columbia. Have
2:50
Speaker 2: you ever been there?
2:51
Speaker 1: I have not, but my husband has, and I love
2:53
Speaker 1: that he wants to go back.
2:55
Speaker 2: Oh really specifically at the Sasquatch Mountains. And I did
3:02
Speaker 2: see that filming wrapped February twenty twenty one. Man, they
3:07
Speaker 2: just turn and burn these things.
3:09
Speaker 1: Yeah, man, quick. Yeah. Taylor Cole met her husband while
3:15
Speaker 1: filming a Hallmark movie. Oh that's cool, and she got
3:18
Speaker 1: married in twenty twenty in a toned down ceremony with
3:23
Speaker 1: just a few guests, and the rest of it was
3:24
Speaker 1: live stream to the rest of their family and friends.
3:28
Speaker 1: And Jack Turner, the actor who plays Ben. He worked
3:31
Speaker 1: for Google for ten years before turning to acting.
3:34
Speaker 2: That's so funny, Like, I'm tired of this Google job.
3:38
Speaker 2: I'm gonna scream the steady paycheck. I'm gonna get into acting.
3:43
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I got pretty pretty consistently. It's so funny.
3:47
Speaker 2: So I do have a couple of IMDb reviews for
3:51
Speaker 2: this movie.
3:52
Speaker 1: I was looking at. One of them was so funny. Okay,
3:54
Speaker 1: I can't wait.
3:55
Speaker 2: Oh okay, well there was a whole bunch of them.
3:57
Speaker 2: I only pulled out two of them. Quote. I do
4:02
Speaker 2: love Megan's mom killing it as DJ. So Meghan was
4:07
Speaker 2: her bff and her mom had come in to officiate
4:12
Speaker 2: the wedding.
4:13
Speaker 1: Right. She was efficient, wasn't she? She married them, didn't she? Yeah,
4:17
Speaker 1: I don't know that she was supposed to be though.
4:19
Speaker 1: I think maybe that happened in the snowstorm. But she
4:23
Speaker 1: was the officiant, you're.
4:25
Speaker 2: Right, and then but she was also the trivia night
4:28
Speaker 2: you know, masters of ceremony whatever. Anyway, Okay, the next
4:32
Speaker 2: quote is shame on you for screwing up a great story.
4:38
Speaker 1: Well, the one that popped out to me, if you
4:39
Speaker 1: don't mind me adding one. It was the featured one
4:42
Speaker 1: on the IMDb homepage. It's not now. It says, why
4:45
Speaker 1: is Kara so suspicious of Ben after all this time?
4:48
Speaker 1: Why is Ben bald snow explanation? Why is the log
4:51
Speaker 1: cabin slash la now magically a completely different luxury hotel room?
4:55
Speaker 1: No answers to any of these questions in a very
4:57
Speaker 1: weak story lead to this poor rating.
5:00
Speaker 2: Okay, that's not true, because they did talk about while
5:04
Speaker 2: why the hotel looked different, they were doing construction to it, right,
5:08
Speaker 2: didn't He's like I do, I ah, yeah, I mean
5:12
Speaker 2: they never did talk about like why Caro was like,
5:17
Speaker 2: you know, suspicious of Ben and why Ben looked different.
5:21
Speaker 2: There was actually a lot of terrible IMDb reviews about
5:25
Speaker 2: Bin's non existent hair. They were seeing things like he
5:29
Speaker 2: looks like a chemotherapy patient. I was like, come on,
5:32
Speaker 2: give me a break. That doesn't change anything.
5:36
Speaker 1: No, I know. I was actually bothered by the number
5:39
Speaker 1: of people who called out the hair missing hair.
5:43
Speaker 2: And as someone who never saw the two other movies
5:48
Speaker 2: that he had hair in and never seen this Jack
5:51
Speaker 2: Turner in any other ever movie ever, I thought the
5:56
Speaker 2: bald head, shaved head went with his care charter. His
6:00
Speaker 2: character's like this like snowboarding, like cool guy, company owner
6:05
Speaker 2: or whatever I thought it fit. I thought it was
6:07
Speaker 2: some of my book people change their hair, like give
6:11
Speaker 2: me a break.
6:12
Speaker 1: Oh my god, I'm so annoyed by that. What was
6:15
Speaker 1: your first impression of this movie.
6:19
Speaker 2: As a standalone movie. Like I said, I hadn't seen
6:22
Speaker 2: the other two. I thought it.
6:24
Speaker 1: Was really good. I really enjoyed it. I liked it too,
6:29
Speaker 1: But I wrote, what I have cared more if I
6:31
Speaker 1: had seen the first two movies.
6:33
Speaker 2: Yes, especially after reading that, I AMDB reviews because there
6:36
Speaker 2: were a lot of people who were upset with this movie.
6:39
Speaker 1: This does seem to be like a well, loved trilogy,
6:41
Speaker 1: and I did record the other two, but I have
6:44
Speaker 1: not watched them yet. So I could see how you
6:48
Speaker 1: could be invested in this foursome because I enjoyed them
6:54
Speaker 1: and I wished Sean had been there in person. We
6:57
Speaker 1: could talk more about that, but uh huh, I think
7:00
Speaker 1: that would have brought it all home. So let's jump
7:03
Speaker 1: to what we liked, all right, I have a huge list,
7:08
Speaker 1: all right, huge.
7:11
Speaker 2: Okay, They're kind of all over the place. It was
7:13
Speaker 2: a beautiful location. The snow looked legit y. Yes, there
7:20
Speaker 2: was like obviously some backstory that there was like a
7:23
Speaker 2: polar vortex happening during the filming of this. So like
7:27
Speaker 2: when they're out in the snow, that is not computer
7:29
Speaker 2: generated snow, they are in the.
7:31
Speaker 1: Snow in a spring movie. Finally, right, exactly.
7:35
Speaker 2: I loved Rukia Bernard. I thought she was a great
7:40
Speaker 2: best friend in this movie. She's just bright and lovely
7:45
Speaker 2: and I want more from her. But I want her
7:47
Speaker 2: to be a lead in a movie.
7:48
Speaker 1: Yes, she's always the sidekick, yeah, but I did think
7:53
Speaker 1: this was a much better role for her than her
7:55
Speaker 1: Evergreen character Hannah. I just I think she shines a
7:59
Speaker 1: little bit more in this role. But I was so
8:01
Speaker 1: happy to see her. I loved her. I loved her too.
8:06
Speaker 2: Do you want me to keep going or do you
8:07
Speaker 2: want to yours?
8:08
Speaker 1: Go ahead?
8:09
Speaker 2: I loved Megan's mom. I wish I had, I wrote down,
8:13
Speaker 2: I wish I had more women figures like that in
8:15
Speaker 2: my life. You know who's just gonna like, let me
8:18
Speaker 2: pour you a cup of tea and let's chit chat
8:20
Speaker 2: and give me some like wisdom. You know. I loved her.
8:26
Speaker 2: I loved, loved, loved Kara's final wedding dress.
8:30
Speaker 1: Yes, that was on my list too.
8:32
Speaker 2: The lace detail, her whole wedding look, her hair was perfect.
8:35
Speaker 2: I loved it, loved it, loved it, loved it. I
8:42
Speaker 2: liked the mysterious angle, like the lodge story and she's
8:46
Speaker 2: trying to work it out or whatever. And I didn't
8:50
Speaker 2: even hate this suspicion around Ben, even though I thought
8:54
Speaker 2: that would be like kind of a red flag, like
8:56
Speaker 2: you're marrying this guy, but you have all these like
8:59
Speaker 2: concerns that he's secretive, that you might want to have
9:04
Speaker 2: a talk about that before you get married. Two more things.
9:08
Speaker 2: I love the idea of a trivia night before you
9:12
Speaker 2: get married, like that's your rehearsal dinner or whatever. Right,
9:15
Speaker 2: what a fun idea. I wonder if people actually do that.
9:18
Speaker 2: I think that's so great.
9:20
Speaker 1: I've seen it done at a couple of showers. So
9:23
Speaker 1: much fun.
9:26
Speaker 2: I loved the meaning behind Ben's cuff links that Sean
9:30
Speaker 2: sent him. Did you know they were like squirrels?
9:34
Speaker 1: Yes?
9:35
Speaker 2: And she asks him, like, what's the meaning behind? Yeah,
9:39
Speaker 2: and he goes because squirrels are secretive, and apparently I
9:42
Speaker 2: had a lot of secrets, you know, as a college there.
9:47
Speaker 2: I don't know if their college roommates or whatever they were,
9:49
Speaker 2: but yeah, and finally they played an actual pop song. Again,
9:57
Speaker 2: someone's got a budget to play a Calvin Harrison ha.
10:01
Speaker 1: Yes, I know as soon as I started playing that, yep,
10:04
Speaker 1: I loved that too. It's like a real wedding, not
10:07
Speaker 1: just like casual band music playing in the back.
10:11
Speaker 2: Yeah exactly. Okay, tell me what you liked.
10:13
Speaker 1: You got everything. I had everything on my list you had.
10:16
Speaker 2: But that wedding dress was so pretty. I lived it.
10:20
Speaker 1: Loved the wedding dress. It reminded me a little bit
10:22
Speaker 1: of Princess Kate's wedding dress. I know hers was different longer,
10:28
Speaker 1: but I had that the lace up top. I loved
10:32
Speaker 1: that dress, and I was not at all sad that
10:34
Speaker 1: her original dress was ruined.
10:36
Speaker 2: Me neither me neither.
10:39
Speaker 1: Okay, let's talk roadblocks placed in the way of our
10:42
Speaker 1: movie couple.
10:44
Speaker 2: Well, the biggie is the sister mixes up the dress
10:50
Speaker 2: styles colors when ordering.
10:53
Speaker 1: Yes, yeah, yeah, yes, I only said the only reason
11:00
Speaker 1: Night hands a day is because it's not so much thing.
11:02
Speaker 1: It would stop it from getting married more like wedding hygiens.
11:05
Speaker 2: But yeah, okay, fine, fine, but getting married there was like,
11:09
Speaker 2: you know, weather was a problem.
11:12
Speaker 1: Right, Ben is keeping secrets.
11:17
Speaker 2: Her third book, Pitch Deadline was like a happening.
11:22
Speaker 1: In these twos, there was a lot.
11:25
Speaker 2: There was a lot happening.
11:26
Speaker 1: I wonder if the original script had more to do
11:30
Speaker 1: with Megan and Sean. And then because he couldn't be there,
11:34
Speaker 1: they had to maybe throw in some more stops on
11:40
Speaker 1: the way to Kara and Ben's wedding to have conflict.
11:45
Speaker 1: I don't know.
11:47
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, because at first they were gonna get married
11:50
Speaker 2: at city hall or whatever, and then she couldn't do
11:52
Speaker 2: it because her dad couldn't be there, and that was
11:54
Speaker 2: just like whatever, you know, they made mention to like
11:57
Speaker 2: another wedding that didn't happen. So were they supposed to
12:01
Speaker 2: get married in the second movie? I wonder, and something
12:04
Speaker 2: happened there?
12:05
Speaker 1: I don't know. They talked about Rome and how that
12:06
Speaker 1: didn't work, and I don't know the answer to that.
12:08
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm curious too.
12:11
Speaker 1: What did you wish for?
12:14
Speaker 2: All right? I wished for an actual appearance from Sean.
12:20
Speaker 1: Yes, so I have that too. I wish Dushane Williams
12:23
Speaker 1: had been present on set, and I read an interview
12:26
Speaker 1: with Rukia Bernard that said the pandemic and other commitments
12:29
Speaker 1: kept him away. If it can't work around that, well,
12:33
Speaker 1: here's what I think. I think because of quarantine requirements.
12:38
Speaker 1: You know, in Canada they were having to quarantine for
12:40
Speaker 1: two weeks prior to filming. So if he's just coming
12:43
Speaker 1: in to film this from something else and then he
12:46
Speaker 1: has to go back and potentially quarantine for another two
12:48
Speaker 1: weeks before filming that, I wondered if that was the
12:52
Speaker 1: issue that he couldn't work around, like all the quarantine
12:55
Speaker 1: going back and forth.
12:57
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, I hated it. I hated that part of it.
13:00
Speaker 2: I wrote down is he going to be best Man?
13:03
Speaker 2: Via iPad, like I thought somebody was going to be
13:05
Speaker 2: holding the iPad up, yeah, because he was technically the
13:08
Speaker 2: best man.
13:10
Speaker 1: Yeah, Ben says, you're the best virtual best man. I
13:12
Speaker 1: could have ever rusked, right, But they never show.
13:14
Speaker 2: I thought maybe the sister Zoe would be holding like
13:16
Speaker 2: the iPad during the whole but thank god they didn't.
13:19
Speaker 1: Like because I write, but he is on the phone
13:21
Speaker 1: at the wedding. You know they did that in Evergreen too,
13:24
Speaker 1: and I just I suppose it's an interesting way to
13:29
Speaker 1: bring them in. It's just unfortunate that, you know, these
13:33
Speaker 1: characters couldn't be in the movie, and because it's a series,
13:38
Speaker 1: it's not like they can just replace them.
13:40
Speaker 2: Right then, I would say put the movie on hold again, right,
13:46
Speaker 2: And yeah.
13:48
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a disservice to the actor that they have
13:50
Speaker 1: to appear on a screen in their movie.
13:54
Speaker 2: Right right. I mean I guess I could look like sideways, like, Okay,
14:00
Speaker 2: you know, it's COVID and they had to deal with
14:04
Speaker 2: this kind of you know, protocols or whatever, so I'll
14:08
Speaker 2: just go with it. But it still bothered me because
14:12
Speaker 2: I mean, movies get put on hold all the time, right, right,
14:17
Speaker 2: So production wise anyway, and the fact that like he
14:21
Speaker 2: proposed to Megan at the end via iPad. I just
14:25
Speaker 2: know I hated that. It was beautiful, but I hated
14:31
Speaker 2: the whole thing. I hated it.
14:33
Speaker 1: They did a good job as they could have, but
14:37
Speaker 1: who wants an iPad proposal? Nobody?
14:40
Speaker 2: Right, nobody. That's why I'm like, why just write that
14:44
Speaker 2: part out of the story then? But maybe they felt like, well, listen,
14:48
Speaker 2: I'm here for like, if they spin this off and
14:51
Speaker 2: make it a Megan Sean you know, right, they get
14:55
Speaker 2: a fourth their wedding, Yes, exactly, But I was not
14:59
Speaker 2: into that whole at all.
15:02
Speaker 1: I also wished for more wedding trivia.
15:05
Speaker 2: Oh did you?
15:07
Speaker 1: They did two questions and then you fast forward to
15:09
Speaker 1: the end and they're handing out the trophies. I feel
15:12
Speaker 1: like they could have put a little more effort into
15:14
Speaker 1: this moment, and I think that would have been fun.
15:17
Speaker 2: You know, what would have been cool if if it
15:19
Speaker 2: was kind of a shout out to the fans of
15:21
Speaker 2: the trilogy, who would have been able to answer questions
15:25
Speaker 2: from like the two previous movies, like you know, details
15:28
Speaker 2: of that would have been really fun. Yeah, it was
15:31
Speaker 2: kind of like She's like, oh, it's half time. Now
15:33
Speaker 2: give me some more details about this uh whatever this
15:38
Speaker 2: whatever she was looking for, I can't even remember what
15:41
Speaker 2: it was. Whoever was a minority shell shell company owner
15:44
Speaker 2: of the Yeah that was Hilara lave On. Yes.
15:50
Speaker 1: The last thing I wish for is that Megan didn't
15:54
Speaker 1: have such a burden on her shoulders, that Kara had
15:57
Speaker 1: done more of the wedding work. It was so bizarre
15:59
Speaker 1: to me that she's like, Hey, maybe my wedding planner
16:00
Speaker 1: and just like give up your life for the next
16:02
Speaker 1: two weeks. And I just had that made of honor helping.
16:05
Speaker 1: But Kara doesn't do any.
16:06
Speaker 2: She doesn't do jack shit. Yeah nothing.
16:09
Speaker 1: It's that one thing to ask for help is another
16:11
Speaker 1: going to be like, I'm just going to relax and
16:12
Speaker 1: enjoy these two weeks and can you just please paint
16:14
Speaker 1: these gold.
16:15
Speaker 2: That was a bit odd because everybody knows, like if
16:19
Speaker 2: you're diying anything like that takes a lot of time,
16:24
Speaker 2: and to like gold leaf all those pine cones or
16:27
Speaker 2: whatever like that would have taken forever. Like, yeah, that
16:32
Speaker 2: was crazy. I needed less of Zoe Ben's little sister.
16:37
Speaker 1: So funny I read that in another review. I thought
16:40
Speaker 1: she was cute and fun. I enjoyed her.
16:42
Speaker 2: No, I definitely saw over written all over that girl
16:44
Speaker 2: from from Go she like the salads were wrong, right.
16:51
Speaker 1: I don't know.
16:52
Speaker 2: I just I don't I just didn't love it.
16:56
Speaker 1: I didn't love it.
16:57
Speaker 2: I like that he had her as her like woman,
17:00
Speaker 2: and I would love to see like more weddings move
17:06
Speaker 2: that way. I mean, I know people do that, but like,
17:08
Speaker 2: why do you need like all seven brides or seven
17:11
Speaker 2: bridesmaids and seven you know what I mean? Like, let's
17:15
Speaker 2: men and women can have friends of the opposite sex
17:18
Speaker 2: and good friends, and they can stand up for you
17:20
Speaker 2: when you get married, don't you think absolutely? Yeah?
17:24
Speaker 1: I think so too.
17:25
Speaker 2: Just a side note, how I feel about weddings in
17:27
Speaker 2: twenty twenty one. I need less high Jinx music. H
17:34
Speaker 2: I don't know if I just hate it. And this
17:36
Speaker 2: is why this is what bugs me about it is
17:38
Speaker 2: that it's not giving me the viewer any credit, Like
17:43
Speaker 2: I understand what's happening, Like you know, something mysterious is happening,
17:47
Speaker 2: or something's going to go wrong, or I don't mean
17:51
Speaker 2: the music as a cue to tell me like that's
17:54
Speaker 2: going to happen. It just bothers me. Hate it so much.
17:58
Speaker 1: And I feel like this movie was primed for hyjinks
18:01
Speaker 1: because the couple is already in place, so we don't
18:03
Speaker 1: have the will they or won't they drama. They're not
18:07
Speaker 1: getting together, they're already in a relationship, they're already heading
18:12
Speaker 1: toward their wedding, so they had to create drama somehow,
18:16
Speaker 1: And you kind of knew it was going to be
18:18
Speaker 1: in you know, pine cones dropping on their heads and
18:22
Speaker 1: mismatched wedding dress colors. And I saw the hyjinks coming
18:27
Speaker 1: from a mile away.
18:28
Speaker 2: Yeah, So did you need the music right? I don't know.
18:32
Speaker 1: I don't know.
18:34
Speaker 2: I would have liked maybe a little explanation or recap
18:40
Speaker 2: of the other two movies at the beginning, but I
18:43
Speaker 2: did think it stood alone just fine, so as not
18:49
Speaker 2: seeing those other two movies. Like I enjoyed it on
18:52
Speaker 2: its own, but like I would have loved some sort
18:55
Speaker 2: of recap.
18:57
Speaker 1: If you remember, in the Evergreen movies, Hands and His
19:00
Speaker 1: character is narrating everything about the town and all the
19:03
Speaker 1: people that we have met in the previous movies, and
19:05
Speaker 1: part of it is because there is a bit of
19:08
Speaker 1: a rotating cast of characters in those movies. But I
19:12
Speaker 1: was hoping for the same thing happening here, because these
19:15
Speaker 1: movies are several years apart. So while you do have
19:17
Speaker 1: the fans you are, you do get people like us
19:21
Speaker 1: that are coming in fresh. I agree that it's sood alone,
19:23
Speaker 1: but I also agree I would have preferred some sort
19:25
Speaker 1: of when we last left our couple exactly.
19:29
Speaker 2: Did you have anything else you wished for?
19:31
Speaker 1: That's it? Time for digitsy that I have a few
19:36
Speaker 1: I have. Maybe we should talk about buying a resort
19:39
Speaker 1: with the person we're going.
19:40
Speaker 2: To marry anyway, right, Okay, I didn't have that written down,
19:43
Speaker 2: but you're right, Like he's just I'm guessing he's like
19:47
Speaker 2: some billionaire or I mean, he's got to be a
19:50
Speaker 2: billionaire if you're going to buy a resort, right.
19:53
Speaker 1: So, right, is it him buying the resort or is
19:56
Speaker 1: it his business buying the resort? Those are two different things, right, Like,
19:59
Speaker 1: if it's your compan and he making a deal, I
20:01
Speaker 1: don't need to be a part of that. But if
20:03
Speaker 1: this is coming out of what are going to be
20:04
Speaker 1: our joint shared finances, it seems like a pretty big
20:07
Speaker 1: deal that we should maybe have a conversation about.
20:11
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know why he was so secretive about
20:13
Speaker 2: that part, Like that was I mean, he was just
20:15
Speaker 2: trying to save like his snow camp or whatever.
20:19
Speaker 1: But yeah, that was Yeah, why is it secretive? Why
20:23
Speaker 1: couldn't he have just said, hey, here's what's going on,
20:26
Speaker 1: unless he thought she wouldn't like it, in which case
20:28
Speaker 1: that's a big red flag. Totally he's doing it thinking
20:31
Speaker 1: knowing that she's going to be unhappy about it, or
20:34
Speaker 1: soon she'd be unhappy about it.
20:35
Speaker 2: It was like, you know, she went to her dad
20:37
Speaker 2: and Megan both and just was like Ben's being really
20:41
Speaker 2: secretive and strange and he's making decisions without me, like
20:46
Speaker 2: or you know, she was kind of bothered that he
20:49
Speaker 2: booked the chalet for their wedding because they didn't do
20:52
Speaker 2: it as a couple, but she wasn't doing anything for
20:57
Speaker 2: the wedding, right like you mentioned. So it was just
21:00
Speaker 2: it's weird. You would think that they would have a
21:02
Speaker 2: conversation about like, hey, what's happening. Something seems off with you?
21:08
Speaker 1: But yeah, say, hey, I know you're trying not to
21:11
Speaker 1: burden me the week of our wedding, but it actually
21:13
Speaker 1: is bothering me that you're so secretive and now I'm
21:15
Speaker 1: spinning it out into a much bigger deal in my
21:18
Speaker 1: mind than it probably is. Right, So would help me
21:21
Speaker 1: if you would just talk to me. I hate when
21:23
Speaker 1: people say things to me in real life like oh,
21:25
Speaker 1: don't worry about it, or it's not a big Like
21:27
Speaker 1: I am gonna worry about it now that you're not
21:29
Speaker 1: telling me what you're what's going on here makes me
21:33
Speaker 1: want to know much more.
21:34
Speaker 2: Right? Right?
21:37
Speaker 1: Did you see that?
21:38
Speaker 2: What was Megan wearing at the wedding?
21:40
Speaker 1: I don't know.
21:42
Speaker 2: It's like, where'd she get that outfit?
21:44
Speaker 1: Yeah? Right, I don't know if she just had it
21:46
Speaker 1: packed into her bag.
21:48
Speaker 2: In their color scheme that you know, because yeah, I mean,
21:52
Speaker 2: she looked adorable. But I just was like, oh, I
21:54
Speaker 2: thought maybe she was gonna wear the purple wedding dress.
21:57
Speaker 1: But anyway, Look, no bridal salon can deliver a dress
22:02
Speaker 1: in a week, can they not know?
22:06
Speaker 2: No?
22:06
Speaker 1: You can walk in and buy a dress off the
22:08
Speaker 1: rack and hope they have it in your size and
22:10
Speaker 1: walk out with it. But you're ordering a customed dress
22:14
Speaker 1: like they were like, we want this dress in this color.
22:16
Speaker 1: No dresses take weeks and weeks and weeks. So sorry, friends,
22:21
Speaker 1: but you cannot you were gonna have to like hope
22:24
Speaker 1: that somebody had something on the rack for you to
22:25
Speaker 1: go home with.
22:27
Speaker 2: That's fit, right, because alterations take time too.
22:31
Speaker 1: Yes, yeah, yeah, there was no fitting. There was no alterations.
22:36
Speaker 2: They're so funny. Okay, let's talk about Kara's dad. I mean,
22:40
Speaker 2: how old could he be? He wasn't much older than
22:43
Speaker 2: she was.
22:44
Speaker 1: Yes, I was thinking the same thing. She had a
22:46
Speaker 1: very young dad. He was maybe fifty maybe.
22:50
Speaker 2: And how old is she in her thirty I mean,
22:53
Speaker 2: I guess it's possible.
22:54
Speaker 1: But I mean I would put her at thirty five.
22:58
Speaker 2: Yeah, so what would that make fifteen?
23:01
Speaker 1: Yeah? It was I did. I did notice that he
23:04
Speaker 1: seemed like a quite young dad.
23:06
Speaker 2: Oh, and I don't know the story, like neither of
23:09
Speaker 2: them had parents there other than Kara's dad, Like, yeah,
23:14
Speaker 2: his parents were dead, her and mom was dead, I.
23:17
Speaker 1: Think, which I think is why they had to give
23:20
Speaker 1: the Zoe character a spot in the movie. A because
23:23
Speaker 1: Sean's not there to be a physical like presence for
23:27
Speaker 1: Ben to have someone at the wedding. Yeah, and also
23:32
Speaker 1: so he would have some sort of family presence. I
23:35
Speaker 1: think had Sean been there in person, then we wouldn't
23:40
Speaker 1: have had so much Zoe.
23:42
Speaker 2: That would have been fine with me, right, I am
23:45
Speaker 2: trying to look up. I want to see if okay,
23:48
Speaker 2: So Taylor Cole is, Oh, she's here with dark hair
23:53
Speaker 2: that looks really good on her nineteen eighty four, so
23:56
Speaker 2: that's she's thirty sixty six.
23:59
Speaker 1: And then what's said the dad? Play bye? She'll be
24:04
Speaker 1: thirty seven this month.
24:05
Speaker 2: Blake Staddle, I can't find anything. He's not that much older.
24:12
Speaker 2: He's probably in his forties, maybe fifty. Anything else or
24:16
Speaker 2: did you see that anything? Did you say that.
24:19
Speaker 1: Her dad brings her her mother's wedding dress the night
24:22
Speaker 1: before the wedding so that she can sew a piece
24:24
Speaker 1: into her wedding dress. It is the night before her wedding. Now,
24:27
Speaker 1: of course this solves the problem of having the purple
24:29
Speaker 1: wedding dress, and she has something to wear, but she's
24:32
Speaker 1: not going to be sewing something into her wedding dress.
24:35
Speaker 1: It's a very busy time the night before her wedding.
24:39
Speaker 2: You know, she's like cutting the dress up. Yeah, they
24:43
Speaker 2: show her like I think, like removing the stitches or whatever. Right,
24:47
Speaker 2: but then the dress like pristine the next day. So yeah,
24:51
Speaker 2: I mean luck would have it would be like if
24:53
Speaker 2: she totally took it apart and then decided that she
24:56
Speaker 2: needed the to wear the dress and they zipped it
24:59
Speaker 2: back to together real quick. You know.
25:01
Speaker 1: Yeah, did you.
25:04
Speaker 2: See the actual snowflakes on their eyelashes?
25:08
Speaker 1: Yes, falling and there was snow falling and actually landing
25:11
Speaker 1: on their shoulders. And loved it.
25:15
Speaker 2: Oh, there was a really funny scene at the beginning.
25:18
Speaker 2: They're supposed to be in Seattle, where like rains all
25:20
Speaker 2: the time, and they're walking under an umbrella. It's not
25:24
Speaker 2: raining one and there's people in the background without umbrellas.
25:29
Speaker 2: It was so weird, like why have the umbrella, like
25:33
Speaker 2: it's not even raining.
25:35
Speaker 1: What did you rate this movie?
25:37
Speaker 2: Like I said, I kind of liked it. I gave
25:39
Speaker 2: it three stars.
25:40
Speaker 1: I did do exactly three.
25:41
Speaker 2: Ah, look at that.
25:43
Speaker 1: I liked it.
25:44
Speaker 2: I really liked Ben, I really liked Kara. I thought
25:48
Speaker 2: they were great actors and a lot.
25:51
Speaker 1: Of natural chemistry. I could see them as a couple.
25:54
Speaker 2: Yeah, me too, Like it didn't feel forced. I was
25:58
Speaker 2: wondering with him. I was trying to play if he's
26:00
Speaker 2: like a British actor, because he kind of sounded like
26:03
Speaker 2: he had an accent.
26:04
Speaker 1: To have an accent.
26:05
Speaker 2: Oh he does. Where's he from?
26:07
Speaker 1: Do you know to know? Oh?
26:09
Speaker 2: How do you know he has an accent?
26:10
Speaker 1: Because I heard it on his instagram? Oh did you know?
26:13
Speaker 2: You did a deep dive on Jack Turner's instagram.
26:16
Speaker 1: Deck the Hallmark.
26:20
Speaker 2: Here we go, I'm hanging out with the boys from
26:23
Speaker 2: Deck the Hallmark.
26:24
Speaker 1: On today's episode. Oh definitely things.
26:27
Speaker 2: One perfect wedding and one perfect curry.
26:29
Speaker 1: So give it a listen where you listen to your podcasts.
26:32
Speaker 2: We'll check it out on YouTube for free. Thanks.

Speaker 1: I mean that is where I heard it.
26:37
Speaker 2: That's a game changer for me too. Right, I'm going
26:41
Speaker 2: to have to listen to Deck the Hallmark, which I
26:43
Speaker 2: do often listen to. I really like those guys. I
26:48
Speaker 2: wanted to tell you. I forgot to mention. I got
26:52
Speaker 2: a message on our Girls Gone Hallmark instagram about Ryan Pavey.
26:58
Speaker 2: We talked about Ryan Pavey last week and we were
27:01
Speaker 2: talking about how he's a little bit stiff or like
27:05
Speaker 2: his cadence seemed a little like Uh okay, So she
27:10
Speaker 2: wrote here she listened to our podcast and she said,
27:15
Speaker 2: you mentioned finding paybe a bit stiff. I don't know
27:19
Speaker 2: if his speech pattern was part of that. He attributes
27:24
Speaker 2: that to his mother being a grammar quote unquote Nazi,
27:30
Speaker 2: and as a result, he over enunciates everything.
27:34
Speaker 1: Interesting.
27:35
Speaker 2: Yeah, isn't that.
27:37
Speaker 1: Yeah, I still said to him I like him too.
27:40
Speaker 2: I like him too, and now I like Jack Turner,
27:42
Speaker 2: so yeah.
27:44
Speaker 1: Yeah, Hey British, why can't he be British? British people
27:47
Speaker 1: behave in the States. Come on, seriously, I think you're
27:51
Speaker 1: mything the Mark here on this one, Hallmark. This is
27:53
Speaker 1: a whole new world, all right.
27:57
Speaker 2: So, speaking of Ireland, we talked about Ireland and our
28:00
Speaker 2: regular podcast on Tuesday. Megan, are you looking forward to
28:06
Speaker 2: as luck would have it?
28:07
Speaker 1: I'm so excited and not just because it's said in Ireland,
28:10
Speaker 1: but because it stars Juanna garcias Wisher, who I adore,
28:14
Speaker 1: and it also stars Alan Leech, who if you were
28:17
Speaker 1: a fan of Down to Abbey you will know him
28:19
Speaker 1: as Tom Branson.
28:20
Speaker 2: It's like, oh.
28:22
Speaker 1: Like, I'm so excited for this movie.
28:24
Speaker 2: Please don't let me do see, I'm thinking it was
28:28
Speaker 2: not slated to be a Hallmark movie, Like I feel
28:31
Speaker 2: like maybe this was supposed to be something.
28:33
Speaker 1: Else and Hallmark bought it. Yeah, because it's like powerful
28:38
Speaker 1: actors and powerful location. Yeah, yeah, exactly exactly, Bromcom. That
28:43
Speaker 1: just couldn't make it happen because of COVID.
28:46
Speaker 2: Maybe I don't know, but I'm excited. I'm looking forward
28:49
Speaker 2: to it.
