Plot

A perfectionist's boyfriend breaks up with her during a parachute jump and she goes viral as "the wedding crasher" for crashing her parachute into a TV news anchor during his wedding. She is later unexpectedly hired by the wife of a man who is running for mayor to be a wedding planner and create a fun party atmosphere for the reception. Her fiancé, the mayoral candidate, wants more formal planning for the ceremony itself, going so far as to hire the equally perfectionist and demanding wedding planner Lawrence Phillips. The two wedding planners butt heads while Captain Ritchie, a local tour guide, searches for his "Cinderella" whom he never saw again after meeting her on a tour.
