This was a very quick interview, but I enjoyed it. I&#8217;m a huge fan of this young actress, and I think she has a big career ahead of her. She&#8217;s already been a hit in &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/tvmeg.com\/index.php\/daytime\/yr\/\">The Young and The Restless<\/a>,&#8221; where she was half of a very popular couple as Summer to the handsome young Kyle (squish name &#8220;Skyle&#8221;). Even before that, playing Summer meant she was related to half the town on the show, making her an integral part of everything. She was also part of the four-season comedy &#8220;Life in Pieces,&#8221; which I loved. It was great to talk to her about this fun and romantic movie. It was really lovely to see Chandler Massey as her love interest, too. He is most known for playing Will on &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/tvmeg.com\/index.php\/daytime\/days\/\">Days of Our Lives<\/a>.&#8221; Both of them have won multiple Daytime Emmy Awards and have done a few Hallmark movies, so pairing them up is genius. If you&#8217;re a long-time Days viewer, you may recognize the mayor (also the bride&#8217;s dad), Roark Critchlow, who played Mike Horton! And yes, if you&#8217;re wondering, a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.businessinsider.com\/professional-bridesmaid-hired-by-strangers-to-be-their-friend-2020-7\">professional bridesmaid<\/a> is a real thing.

Now she uses her talents to help brides navigate the tricky emotional and social dynamics that go along with planning their big day in addition to the practical. Her latest client, Alexis Shepard (Francesca Bianchi,\u201dA Million Little Things\u201d), is the daughter of Columbus\u2019 mayor who is up for reelection. Alexis\u2019 wedding promises to be the event of the summer with lots of scrutiny, so the mayor\u2019s team hires Maggie to join the bridal party and help keep everything on track. But no one can know that Maggie is a hired bridesmaid, so she is introduced as Alexis\u2019 old friend Maisie. Unfortunately, Henry Whittington (Massey), an ambitious local reporter assigned to the society story is sniffing around hoping to get close to the mayor for a scoop on the pending development of local park land. To pull off her assignment, Maggie must coordinate three unhelpful bridesmaids, and keep Henry focused on the wedding while hiding her identity, even as she begins to grow closer to him.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Professional Bridesmaid\u201d is from Lighthouse Pictures Inc. Marguerite Henry is executive producer. Shawn Williamson, Jamie Goehring and Robert Lycar serve as producers.
