Bridal Fever (2008)

Directed by Ron Oliver

Written by Karen McClellan

from the Hallmark Channel-

It's a literal race to the altar when a steamy romance novelist with a long line of torrid romances - and ex husbands - sets out to help a single bachelorette ditch her bridesmaid gowns once and for all.

Gwen Green (played by Andrea Roth), an aspiring editor at Hearts Desire Publishing, is growing tired of being one of the only women left from her group of college friends not to be married. She and her friend Sandra (Melinda Deines) have tried every dating option in the book to no avail, until Gwen is assigned to work with Dahlia Marchand (Delta Burke), a famous romance novelist who has begun writing her steamy memoirs, detailing - among other things - the parade of famous men who have fallen in love with her.

Soon, Dahlia takes Gwen under her wing and promises to find her a husband in just six months, quickly introducing her to Mark (Vincent Walsh), a handsome and successful bachelor. With everything moving so fast, Gwen has to decide if Mark is the right man for her, or if her perfect match may come from a more unlikely source. Making matters more difficult is the fact that Dahlia's memoirs read more like one of her novels and less like the honest tale of the 'women behind the myth' that her fans are dying for. With time running out on her personal and professional deadlines, Gwen's head begins to spin, and it seems like everyone is catching "Bridal Fever!"

Gwen, dear Gwen, played by Andrea Roth, who reminds me of Heather Locklear, is the editor of a best selling writer named Dahlia Marchand, played by Delta Burke.

Dahlia has this air of grandeur, and she has shooed away a lot of people from her life, including Gwen's predecessors.

For one reason or another, Gwen wins Dahlia over, and Dahlia becomes like Gwen's fairy godmother of sorts by trying to look for the "perfect man" for her. If there really is such a man, he probably is in heaven right now, and I mean that literally. :-p

No. I won't lie to you. I still want to get married one day. IF that is my path, then it will happen, but right now, I am choosing to be happy in my current state of life.

Sam Panofsky(Nigel Bennett) and Dahlia Marchand had a beautiful past, but when things started to go sour, they let each other go, but couldn't forget about each other even after thirty(30) years.

Thirty long years. Sigh. I don't know if I have the energy to wait for someone that long, but maybe, just maybe, if it's true love...

Nah. At my age now, thirty years later would mean I would already be an octogenarian of sorts...that is, if we are still alive by then.

I enjoyed watching this, and it had me glued to the screen without bathroom breaks. Honestly, I thought I would get bored. Thankfully, I was wrong.
