Mark deklin reminds me that jerk from last man standing that was married to kristen ... joking all the time and saying nothing funny but very very smug ... i think its peculiar that canadians ruin a perfectly good whisky like crown royal by adding ginger ale to it and calling it ginger and rye ... i felt badly for shelley long during this film
Uninspired and newly single painter Sara is down on her luck and wants nothing more than to get away from her problems. When she decides to take a trip to visit her mom, she becomes involved in a mission to save a local church which is in danger of being closed down. Determined to help preserve the historic building, Sara embarks on a mission that not only gives her a new outlook on life, but enables her mother to rekindle a long lost love from her past. Starring Emmanuelle Vaugier, Mark Deklin and Shelley Long, The Wedding Chapel is a story about love, forgiveness and embracing new beginnings James Welch Henderson Arkansas 5/9/2021.
I was so distracted by the leads eyebrows it was extremely difficult to focus on the storyline. What I did manage to pay attention to seemed decent enough, but seriously, how did nobody notice how horrible those brows were?? They look like they were drawn on with sharpies! Nobody in makeup thought, "I'm just going to make these look a little less atrocious while I'm at it"? Also, Crown Royal is a subpar Whiskey and mixing it with ginger ale is being kind! Canadians are smart enough to know this.
On the day that Sarah (Emmanuelle Vaugier) hosts a not-so-successful showing of her latest oil paintings, this beautiful young woman is also dumped by her boyfriend! In truth, Sarah hasn't made enough time for the relationship, although the rejection stings. Therefore, she heads to her mother, Jeanie's (Shelley Long) house for comfort. Yet, Mom is bothersome, too. Sarah is neat and organized while Jeanie hasn't been the same since becoming a widow. The older woman's home is messy and shows signs of one neglected hobby, like learning the ukulele, after another. In a heap of mail, Sarah is aghast to learn that her grandmother's house is in the process of being sold to make way for a large development in a quiet little village. No, no, it can't happen, cries Sarah. The two ladies waltz off to the nearby town, where they find a city councilperson and lawyer, Roger (Mark Devlin). His advice is that they only way to stop the process now is to find something historical about a small chapel that sits near grandma's house and is part of the land purchased. Two more things occur. Sarah and Roger like the looks of each other, as singles, but spar frequently at various encounters. Then, amazingly, Jeanie is startled to learn that a former beau she thought was killed in Vietnam is ALIVE and living in her hometown, too. He, like her, is widowed. Will there be romance in the air AND will the beloved properties be saved? This lovely, wonderful flick is just right for any fans of romantic drama, with some comic elements, too. Long may be the only well-known cast member but Devlin and Vaugier are attractive, talented folks who charm the audience very well. Then, too, the small town scenery is gorgeous while the story has some twists and turns that keep the entertainment on a high level. There is likewise no objectionable material, so even tween girls will enjoy it. Do you sense that you are a viewer who will like this movie a lot? Don't delay, get it soon!
Emmanuelle Vaugier was great and beautiful but like others have mentioned, I couldn't stop staring at those eyebrows. Lol I had no idea that was Shelley Long or Cindy Busby. Worth watching I think. It was a bit different.

- GoofsIt is very odd that buildings that are not being used or lived in (both the church and the Robertson family home) and are slated for demolition have well manicured gardens with freshly planted or potted flowers.
