Merry Matrimony

About the movie

In the approach to Christmas, Brie Traverston, an art director with a New York City media firm, is given a last minute three week assignment due Christmas Eve of designing a magazine spread on Christmas weddings, her making partner at the firm riding on how well she does. The client, Isabella Elias, is flying in Paris based photographer Eddie Chapman for the assignment. The issue for Brie in doing a good job on this assignment: Eddie is her NYU college sweetheart, who she has not seen in seven years since that Christmas he announced he had been accepted into the Masters program in photography in Paris, when she was expecting him to ask her to marry him. Despite their vow to each other at that time to reconnect following her graduation from NYU in a year, they, out of circumstance, never did reconnect until now. While Brie wants to keep her and Eddie's relationship strictly professional, she admits to herself and her assistant Megan Hocking that she still has feelings for him. Brie may get her Christmastime heart broken once again with Eddie if the rumors are true that he and Isabella are a couple and on the verge of their own happily-ever-after.—Huggo
