BRAN'S MOVIE SYNOPSIS
Joy is a talented fashion designer in New York City but you wouldn't know it because her mean boss, Patrick, steals all her designs. Despite warnings from her friends Ashley and Leticia, Joy is really into a dude named Colton. They don't think he's just that into her. So, when Colton invites her to Colorado to meet his family and hints that he has an important question to ask, Joy is convinced a proposal is coming.
But, when she arrives in Colorado, she finds out that Colton's big question is "will you be my best woman cuz I'm getting marrrieddddd". Humiliated and heartbroken, Joy jumps out the window into a worsening snowstorm, determined to return home.
She gets to the airport but a bad snowstorm has grounded all the flights. So she rents the last car available and attempts to drive it but gets lost and drives onto a frozen lake which cracks! She falls in. She's about to die. But she wakes up in a cabin and meets Ridge Phillips, a rugged outdoorsman living in a remote mountain cabin.
I think it's safe to say that Joy and Ridge clash over their vastly different lifestyles. After she fixes a quilt that she accidentally ripped that was made by his late mother, they begin to open up about their personal disappointments, family struggles, and broken hearts.
Joy's friends launch a desperate search for her. They call Colton and he's like I don't know where she is! So the search is on!
Back at the cabin, wouldn't you know it, I think they're starting to like each other. After a night of drinking and talking, they kiss biggg ones and who knows what else.
The next morning, the storm clears and she's like well I oughta be heading out which makes him real sad given their night together. They get to the main road and the sheriff's office are pulling up with their friends in the car. Colton is also there and is like my bad. Ridge starts walking back to his cabin without even saying goodbye.
Back in New York, Joy comes back to work and is promptly fired because her friends emailed Patrick's boss proof of him stealing her designs. Naturally they fire her instead of him.
Ridge shows up unexpectedly, determined to tell her what he should have said before she left Colorado. He tells her that he loves her! They kiss BIG ONESSSS! She tells him that she wants to go to Colorado with him. Before they leave, she gets called back into the office. They offer her Patrick's job. She gets her own line. She says this isn't what I want for my life anymore. But after talking it over with Ridge, he helps her realize that she's just scared. So she goes and takes the job and then next thing you know, her and Ridge get married in Colorado!
