Not because she’s a suspect, but because of “The Bride’s Curse”-an old jinx that dooms any bride not marrying for love, and their planner! No wedding planner in Lexingburg will work with Olivia until the crime’s origins are clear.

Now, Olivia must shift her attention from planning the event to solving the crime to clear her name. But when Olivia stumbles upon Lacy dead in the middle of a mock reception table, cake fork in hand, she feels her safety net evaporating. Instead she leans heavily on her super strict wedding planner, Lacy McBride, to keep her eye on the prize.

Olivia doesn’t want to admit that she’s trying to get hitched before her cold feet get the best of her. He’s beginning to get suspicious of her motives, since his blushing bride has gone from dragging her feet on a proposal, to suddenly running down the aisle. She’s ticking off her tasks rapid fire: flowers, food, and fireworks all are checked off just in time for Andrew to get hit writing a big check of his own. Olivia is on the warpath of wedding planning. Proof of vaccination is required for your dog to enter.Something borrowed, something blue, Olivia’s a bridezilla, and Andrew’s pretty scared too… This is a family-friendly event, so bring them all, especially your dog.
