Making promises you can't keep

Warning: Spoilers
I found this movie extremely annoying. It starts out with Olivia's daughter calling her mother back from a much deserved romantic getaway because she couldn't wait for her to return was selfish and ridiculous. Then the bride. I understand wanting your spouse's family to like you but she was a complete fraud. Changing almost everything about your wedding to COPY theirs, literal days before the date to impress your in-laws is pathetic and disrespectful to the place of business (this would no doubt be impossible in reality). To make it worse and even more annoying was Mick saying yes to everything and telling Olivia he had it all under control when he didn't and couldn't deliver. His arrogance and his avoidance in asking for help could have ruined this couples wedding. I'm not sure who was worse. The insecure little girl who knows it takes months to plan a wedding and trying to make drastic changes in two days or the fiancee who clearly saw her struggling for acceptance and ignoring the problem or Mick who was clearly out of his league and thought just saying yes to everything when he had no idea what he was doing was okay or the sister who was clearly manipulating the bride's insecurities and then playing it all off as if she had no idea what she was doing. In the end, of course, the bride didn't so much come to her senses, but was told of her mistake and then was lucky enough that they were able to change it all back. Not much character growth here. Although being made a fool does tend to hit home a lesson, this insecurity seems deeply rooted. She also wants to quit law school and become an artist, which I guess it's good she's marrying into money. I just had no respect for the main characters and that's important in making a connection. The acting was fantastic and the setting was stunning. I adore Wedding March series just not this one.
