Jenny & Brian’s story continues in Hallmark’s All of My Heart: The Wedding

Whew. There was a lot going on in this chapter of the All of My Heart movie franchise, right? Jenny and Brian’s wedding, expanding Jenny’s Home Made, the possibility of losing the inn, long-lost family members, potential love matches and baby goats – it was a lot.

(If you’re curious about the songs you heard in All of My Heart: The Wedding, then scroll down!)

We return to Buck’s County and Emily’s Country Inn to find Jenny (Lacey Chabert) and Brian (Brennan Elliott) blissfully in love and preparing for their fall wedding. These two are so good together. They’re sweet without being saccharine, romantic without making me cringe, they tease and support and generally bring out the best in each other. Chabert and Elliott not only have great chemistry, they are so comfortable with each other at this point, they feel like a couple.

So life for our loving duo is moving along nicely. The wedding planning is fairly smooth. Business at the inn is good thanks to the article written by Susan (Lara Gilchrist), the travel blogger who fell in love with General Store owner Tommy in All Of My Heart: Inn Love.

More familiar faces pop up in town as Jenny and Brian run errands. We get plenty of shots of Gabby and her new litter of kids who actually steal a couple of scenes. I’m 90% sure Chabert and Elliott ad-libbed a few lines because of those adorable baby goats and their shenanigans.

Yes, all is romantic and idyllic at Emily’s Country Inn.

Enter Meg, Jenny’s long-lost second cousin once removed, played by Pauline Egan – you might recognize her from perennial Hallmark favorite December Bride. As another descendant of Emily’s, Meg has an equal claim to the inn and property, one she wishes to exercise immediately for unknown reasons.

Really, this is what I kept stumbling over with the plot: why does Meg insist on getting her money out of the property right now? We’re told that she’s an accountant who only trusts numbers due to a bad break up, but that doesn’t explain why she’s pushing Jenny and Brian to decide whether to buy out her share or sell the inn and split the proceeds within a few weeks.

But we must have conflict before the wedding, so demand Meg does and Jenny and Brian try to figure out how to save their beloved inn. Jenny’s Home Made is doing well and bringing in some extra money, although where Jenny finds the time to run the inn, plan a wedding, be present in her relationship and bake all those scones by herself, I do not know. I digress. Brian suggests expanding that side of the business to help raise the funds needed to buy out Meg and Jenny readily agrees. It’s Jenny who lands their big break – the mailman’s wife’s brother works at Township Foods, a major distributor, and gets them a meeting with an executive.

After navigating some other obstacles, handily resolved by the deliciousness of Jenny’s baked goods, they get a trial order from Township Foods that could lead to a contract. Yes! They are saved!

Alas, they are not. For some reason, they entrust delivery of this first, crucial order to a guy with a thousand-year-old van which, predictably, breaks down on a dirt road with no cell phone service. They lose the account and it appears the only answer to their dilemma is to sell the inn.

Wedding plans continue, but the bride and groom are both less joyful due to the pending loss of their home. Sure, they can buy another house, but they’ll miss the peace and purpose they found at Emily’s. Maybe they’ll buy another inn. Maybe they’ll open a restaurant. No matter what, they’re committed to weathering this storm together and the way they alternate panicking and reassuring each other is pretty endearing. 

Eventually, Tommy rallies the town to support Jenny and Brian. They do a bit of fundraising and come up with about 25% of what’s needed to buy out Meg’s share of the inn. Seeing how beloved Jenny and Brian are, and after spending time with her cousin and learning to trust her, Meg decides she doesn’t need an immediate buy-out after all. They can pay her off over time, and who knows, maybe she’ll open her own accounting firm nearby. There’s a certain real estate agent she’s interested in getting to know better.

With the inn safe, Jenny and Brian’s wedding is the joyous, romantic affair it was meant to be. Vern gives away the bride, Tommy and Susan (whose name was Denise in the last movie?) are in love, Meg and the realtor might have a future, Brian’s friend Harry asked Jenny’s friend Casey to be his date at the wedding, and Brian and his father have finally reconciled.

Is it happily ever after, or will we see Jenny and Brian again? Perhaps next year will bring All of My Heart: Honey, We’re Going to Need a Crib!
