Hardworking workaholic doctor Tess' best friend since childhood, Amber, is getting married in Chicago. When her boyfriend, the self-absorbed Dex, bails on attending the four day wedding in order to go yachting to potentially further his career, Tess as the Maid of Honor gets paired with best man Michael. Michael is a jaded divorce lawyer who not only grumbles about the wedding assignments they are given, but seems to have something against weddings in general. However, these two make an amazing pair both on and off the dance floor...Tess and Michael.
"The men only have to worry about the three "s"s: Shower, Shave and Show up."
Random observation...am I the only one who thinks Maggie Lawson reminds them of Alicia Silverstone?
Maggie Lawson and Paul Greene have great on screen chemistry and really make this romance work. The film is set at a gorgeous golf course curated by the famous Jack Nichols in Chicago.
Highly recommend to romantics, I think you will enjoy this hallmark romance as much as I did.

Am not the biggest of fans of Hallmark's June Weddings films. Some have good casts and amusing moments, but more often than not they're too more of the same plot wise, over the top and also with too many annoying or/and bland characters. Expectations were a little higher than usual for 'My Favourite Wedding', having liked Maggie Lawson and Paul Greene in other things (with more familiarity with Greene) despite the plot not exciting me.
'My Favourite Wedding' turned out to be not an easy film to rate or review, but actually turned out to be pretty much what was sort of expected. It is watchable and there are definitely worse June Weddings films before and particularly since. To me, 'My Favourite Wedding' wasn't particularly good at the same time and that it was so unbalanced by the unlikeability of one major character really took away from me enjoying it any more than hoped.
There are good things. Both Lawson and Greene are more than game in their roles, Greene comes off better in the more subtle and relaxed performance and because his character is much easier to connect with. Lawson does have enough moments of charm and playfulness and if her character writing was better she would have made a bigger impression. The supporting cast also try their best.
It looks good, lovely scenery and slickly shot. The music is pleasant and fits tonally enough, the placement also not getting too much.
Really disliked Lawson's character however, far too disrespectful and self centered and Lawson overplays those traits on occasions, especially later on when the material becomes more contrived. Would have liked more chemistry between the leads, there are glimpses of it and there is some charm to it but it never fully connects and it never feels particularly well fleshed out. The same goes with the characters in general, with the only interesting (the only one to rise above cipher level) or likeable one being Greene's (and even he starts to frustrate a bit in the final act when he becomes on the naive side).
While some of the dialogue is light hearted, it is at other times rather flat and stilted and also felt forced in the conflict in the final act. Nobody expects a Hallmark film to be innovative, and most follow the same formula or similar. This was like seeing the same June Weddings film for like the tenth time at least and with little variation, making the story feel rather tired and too easily telegraphed. None of the situations are executed with much spark, and instead come over as bland and annoying. It is easy to predict what the ending is, but part of me really didn't want it to happen and that it would do something different but it went down the too easily resolved route.
Summing up, watchable but could have been more with a fresher story and a much easier to like female lead character. 5/10.

I enjoyed this one and was going to review it long ago, after I first saw it, but it was not yet available on IMDb. (What takes them so long to get Hallmark movies up on the site?) This movie follows the usual pattern: Competent and no nonsense woman saddled with a guy who takes her for granted attends a wedding and meets the laid back best man. Sparks fly after the usual friction between the two, and then the original boyfriend appears out of nowhere. Add to this a bridezilla surprise surprise. What sets this one apart is Maggie Lawson. She adds brightness and nice comic timing. I enjoyed seeing her again after Psych. Paul Green is one of my more favorite male Hallmark regulars, and the two play off each other very well. I am hoping Hallmark will have Maggie back soon.
Once again Paul Greene lights up the screen with his charm and being so darn handsome! Cannot get a bad angle on him! Not one!! Would watch every movie Paul is in. Cute movie, fun and witty !! Worth the watch
A promising doctor who is the most delightful person on the planet (always doing favors for others, overly thoughtful) suddenly turns into a mean-spirited person the second she arrives in Chicago. A man whom she's never met is kind enough to pick her up from the airport and she is instantly mean to him. She treats him like a plow horse. The change in spirit makes no sense and ruins her character - practically making the rest of the movie unwatchable.
