Weddings aren’t just about the happy couple A funny, touching, hopeful story of love, marriage and second chances

Its the day before her daughters wedding and things are not going well for Gail Baines.

First thing, she loses her job (or quits, depending who you ask). Then her ex-husband Max turns up at her door looking for somewhere to stay. He doesnt even have a suit. Instead, hes brought memories and a cat looking for a new home.

Just as Gail is wondering whats next, their daughter Debbie discovers her groom has been keeping a secret which could throw the whole wedding into question
