Hallmark’s synopsis reads”

Rebecca (Tobin) and Adam (Epstein), a recently engaged Jewish couple, are beginning to feel like their union may be jeopardized by their different values and beliefs. Rebecca is all about home and family and Adam is all about work. Adam is not as connected to or as familiar with Jewish tradition as Rebecca. Adam is ambitious and is considering taking a job in LA for a promotion to vice president, while Rebecca really wants to build her life close to her family, her synagogue, and her rabbi (Michael Benyaer, “The Exchange”). As their wedding day approaches, Adam’s focus on work begins to interfere with their wedding planning and Rebecca starts to wonder if he might not have time for their wedding or their marriage. Their mothers come together to help Rebecca and Adam realize their priority is focusing on their love.
