City planner Remy McIntosh and architect Lane Anders are back from the best-selling novel, Just the Three of Us, to plan their Christmas wedding! When Remy married Kate, he'd only done so because it was the right thing to do, as she was pregnant with Braden. This time around, he's marrying for love, and he wants everything to be just right.
At the time of their engagement, Virginia didn't allow same-sex couples to marry, so Lane suggests they splurge and plan the perfect wedding in Hawaii. Because the island is so far away, Remy hires someone local to plan everything for them. He hates giving up so much control, but the wedding planner is someone Lane knew in high school, so she can't be all bad, can she?
Unfortunately, things go wrong right from the start. Remy hopes to spend a week alone at Christmas with his lover in Hawaii before their families arrive for the wedding. But his son is erroneously booked on the same flight as Remy and Lane, and they have to spend their romantic tropical holiday entertaining a nine year old boy. Then the wedding planner disappears for the weekend to participate in a surfing competition.
When Remy decides to obtain a marriage license on his own, he discovers he needs proof of his divorce, which he doesn't have with him, and Kate's stuck in Virginia in a freak snowstorm that may ground her plane until after the wedding is scheduled to take place.
As things continue to spiral out of his control, Remy doesn't know whether to laugh at his troubles or cry with frustration. Will he and Lane get to say “I do” on an Hawaiian island beach? Or should they just throw in the towel and elope back in the courthouse in Virginia?
