Spoilers ahead

Mallory Rutledge [Julianne Hough] is a young bride-to-be on her way to Denver for her wedding rehearsal, and the journey begins with a quiet moment on a video chat with her sister, Ella [Penelope Mitchell]. Ella’s voice carries concern—she hasn’t booked Mallory’s plane tickets yet because she wants to be sure Mallory’s happiness is real.
