Garcia plays a twenty-something wedding planner who disapproves of her widowed mother's (Helen Shaver) whirlwind romance with a middle-aged businessman (Kenneth Welsh).

She partners with the man's disgruntled son (Perry) to try to try to scrap the upcoming nuptials, but an unexpected romantic development forces her to re-examine her feelings.

Garcia played Reba's daughter Cheyenne on "Reba," which now airs in syndication on Lifetime. Former "Beverly Hills, 90210" star Perry most recently appeared on HBO's short-lived "John From Cincinnati." Shaver's credits include USA Network's "The 4400," while Welsh recently appeared on NBC's "Bionic Woman" and in the film "Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer."
