A romantic comedy about death and second chances unfolds as 30-year-old Julia Holmes prepares to marry Aaron DeMinthe at Whitfield Chapel, a dream she's had for years. With every detail of her wedding meticulously planned, Julia is blindsided when Aaron announces his desire to hike the last leg of the Appalachian Trail before their wedding. Despite her reservations, she reluctantly supports his decision. Tragically, just 48 hours later, Aaron is struck by lightning while summiting Mt. Katahdin, leaving Julia devastated and inconsolable. Surrounded by friends and family, including Lincoln Douglas, who was with Aaron during the accident, she struggles to cope with her loss. In search of closure, Julia returns to Whitfield and unexpectedly takes a job as a Weekend Wedding Assistant. As she guides four brides down the aisle—a path she was meant to walk herself—Julia grapples with her choices and the unexpected turn her life has taken. Amidst the weddings, she reflects on her past and wonders if she can ever find true love again.
