BRAN'S MOVIE SYNOPSIS
Jenny is helping plan her sister's wedding. But there's something missing - this wedding blessing wine that every successful marriage in her family has toasted with at the wedding. They thought they still had a bottle in the case but apparently they're out. There's only 1 bottle available, going up for auction in 16 hours in Rome! So Jenny decides she's gonna hop on a plane, get the wine, and come home in time for the wedding.

She gets there just in time for the auction. She arrives at the same time as Arrigo. They hit it off until they discover they're both here for the same bottle of wine. They get into a bidding war but then this random extra ends up winning it at the last second.

She ends up having to go to Italy where another bottle may be available. But who does she see on her trip but one Arrigo. Both heading to the same place for the same bottle of wine. You'd think that would bring out the worst in both of them but they're actually really nice. They end up at her relative's house who feeds her yummy food. But, alas, no wine.

So they continue to journey, trying to find the same wine but sticking together. Sparks are flying. He measures her for a dress. All normal Hallmark movie stuff.

There's a crazy miscommunication but they're finally able to talk through it.

She returns to the States without the wine. Luckily for her, Arrigo finds a bottle behind a random bar. Just as the bride and groom are going to toast with unblessed wine, he shows up at the wedding, wine in hand.

They dance and they kiss.
