Christmas Wedding Planner

Kelsey begins her career as a wedding planner by taking on her cousin Emily's Christmas Eve wedding. The theme sets the tone for a high-stakes, detail-driven workflow. This moment marks her entry into a world where family expectations collide with professional ambition.

Kelsey is running late to a wedding-related event, causing tension with her mentor and aunt, Olivia. The delay stems from a shopping detour, signaling the first of many small obstacles in her day. Olivia's disapproval foreshadows the friction between personal loyalties and professional duties.

In the café, Kelsey meets Connor, Emily's ex-boyfriend. She asks for the last blueberry scone, but he refuses, creating a tense moment. She leaves for the event with a nagging sense that Connor is tied to Emily in unexpected ways.

At the venue, Aunt Olivia tells Kelsey to 'keep an eye' on Connor. The warning seeds doubt about his intentions and hints at a larger backstory. Kelsey weighs professional suspicion against personal history as she resumes her duties.

Connor makes a push by inviting Kelsey to collaborate on the case, hinting at shared history and a possible alliance. He tries to pull her into his PI world. Kelsey declines, choosing to remain independent for now.

During Emily's dress fitting, Kelsey uncovers that Emily and Connor were growing serious before Connor abruptly left. The revelation deepens her suspicions about Connor and his involvement in Emily's life. The moment raises the emotional stakes for the wedding planning.

Kelsey notices Todd acting flirtatiously toward the store owner, fueling suspicions about his fit as Emily's fiancé. This observation pushes her to dig deeper into Todd's relationships and motives. The stakes of the wedding begin to hinge on who can be trusted.

Kelsey decides to team up with Connor, telling him that Todd and the store owner are dining at Turbo's on Wednesday night. The plan gives them a concrete target and time for their stakeout. The partnership marks a shift from rivals to uneasy allies.

As they spy on Todd, mishaps reveal growing attraction between Kelsey and Connor. Their pretend relationship starts to feel real, complicating professional boundaries. The investigation becomes a test of trust and feeling.

During the dinner, Kelsey and Connor discover that Todd and the store owner are friends. Todd thanks the store owner for a favorable deal on Emily's dress, unveiling a motive behind their behavior. The revelation broadens the conspiracy surrounding Emily's wedding.

Aunt Olivia reveals to Kelsey that her uncle paid Connor ten years ago to leave Emily, and recently paid him again. The disclosure reframes Connor's actions as part of a larger family pressure. Kelsey begins to question who is manipulating whom.

Connor explains he took the money thinking it was a loan to help his friend George keep a family restaurant, unable to fully justify the recent transactions. The lack of a clear explanation deepens Kelsey’s mistrust. She ends the conversation conflicted and unsure what to believe.

Before the wedding, Connor tricks Kelsey into meeting and reveals the money story, hoping to repair trust. He admits he misread the money's purpose and what happened with Emily. Caught off guard, Kelsey leaves, still uncertain about him.

Connor arrives at the wedding with dirt on Todd: a servant was pregnant and told him everything. The dramatic reveal forces a confrontation and shakes the wedding's foundations. In a bold final move, Connor proposes to Kelsey, and she accepts as the ceremony concludes.
