This is an endearing tale of breaking yourself down to build yourself back up. Espach certainly knows how to weave a wedding story that shows her expertise for the material. However, Phoebe was a bit shallow as a character and seemed to just be a sounding wall. While this could very well be her character, it felt like a cop out. Regardless, I did enjoy it!
