PUBLISHED OCT 1, 2020

One of our favorite onscreen teachers John Keating (played by Robin Williams) said, “Poetry. Beauty. Romance. Love. These are what we stay alive for”. This particular line from the iconic movie ‘Dead Poets Society’ holds true for most hopeless romantics. No matter how practical and rooted in reality we are, the romance genre movies do bring a smile on most of our faces. And maybe amid all the chaos that we are going through, a good romantic movie is required to help us relax for some time. Hallmark’s new rom-com ‘My Best Friend’s Bouquet’ is everything nice and romantic. Here’s all you need to know.

Release date

‘My Best Friend’s Bouquet’ will premiere on Saturday, October 10 at 9 pm ET on Hallmark.

Plot

According to a release by the channel, Josie Hughes is a hopeless romantic. She believes in the kind of romance shown in black-and-white movies where the leading lady finds her one true love and gets swept off her feet. There’s something else also she believes in -- the wedding bouquet always finds its way to the right person when tossed by the bride. At her friend Emma’s wedding instead of their not-single friend Athena, single Josie ends up with the bouquet. She starts dating eligible bachelor Will after meeting at the reception and this somewhere makes her long-time friend Alex, who secretly harbors feelings for her, a bit sad. But Josie feels this is happening because of the bouquet and Will may be ‘the one’. So, is Will actually ‘the one’ or is there hope for Alex? We need to wait till next week to find answers.
