About Abigail and Alexa Save the Wedding
Penelope and Chase are a perfect couple – she’s a bubbly Californian, and he’s smart, charming, with political ambitions. They’re planning a dreamy California wedding, but their mothers aren’t thrilled.

The Mother of the Bride, Alexa Diamandis, a chic Greek woman, doesn’t believe in marriage. She raised Penny as a single mom, supported by wealthy friends. The Mother of the Groom, Abigail Blakeman, a Connecticut garden club matron, thinks the wedding would be simpler at their golf club, especially with the family’s finances in decline.

When fate forces them to take over the wedding planning, the two very different women work together to make the dream wedding a reality. How far will they go to make it happen?
