The movie as a whole was okay, but it wasn't much to make me eager to watch it again. Along with that, there's also the massive elephants in the room: the aunt, the cousin, and the ex-fiance.
The movie has an annoying habit of making it seem like the main character is 100% wrong for being bitter at her cousin for stealing her fiance and then marrying him within months. To make matters worse, her meddling aunt keeps pleading for her to forgive her cousin with the reasoning being "for family". She seriously says this SOOOO many times that I've lost count.
The ex-fiance even tries to explain his reasoning for cheating and breaking up with the main character as being that the two of them didn't get to know each other that well and that the engagement was rushed due to the main character's "obsession" with having a Christmas wedding. This made me roll my eyes because the ex-fiance had little issue getting engaged to her cousin after knowing her for a short period of time and then marrying her during the following Christmas season.
I nearly gave up on this film when these three ambushed the main character which led to her actually forgiving them! It's seriously the most unrealistic thing I've seen in a Hallmark Channel movie along with the main character actually going to her cousin's wedding.
If you're perfectly fine with backstabbing meddling family members who act as if what they did wasn't all that bad, then this movie is for you.
