The happily ever after is only part of the story
A funny, touching, hopeful gem about love, marriage and second chances It's the day before her daughter's 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 expecting to stay for the festivities.
He doesn't even have a suit. Instead, he's brought memories, a shared sense of humour and a cat looking for a new home. Just as Gail is wondering what's next, their daughter Debbie discovers her groom has been keeping a secret As the big day dawns, the exes just can't agree on what's best for Debbie.
Gail is seriously worried, while Max seems more concerned with whether to opt for the salmon or prime rib at the reception, if they make it that far. The day after the wedding, Gail and Max prepare to go their separate ways again. But all the questions about the future of the happy couple have stirred up the past for Gail.
Because happy' takes many forms, and sometimes the younger generation has much to teach the older about secrets, acceptance and taking the rough with the smooth.
