The premise.

• Two weddings, one clerk, one afternoon. The certificates are swapped and filed before anyone reads them.
• Adrian’s merger requires him to be married by the end of the quarter. The name on the paper matters less than the fact that a paper exists.
• Nora’s agency is one bad review from closing. Adrian’s family becomes her biggest client and her legal spouse on the same day.
• They set a rule: ninety days, separate lives, one public appearance a week.
• Every public appearance requires Nora to design a moment. Every designed moment leaves a real mark.

Main characters.

• Nora Vance — F, 27, wedding planner. Runs a two-person agency out of a converted flower shop. Can build a proposal for a stranger in four hours and has never been proposed to. Practical to the point of armor. Want: Save the agency and get out clean in ninety days. Need: To be the person someone plans a day for, instead of the person planning it..
• Adrian Kessler — M, 32, hotel group heir. Took over the family group after his father’s stroke. Reads contracts the way other people read faces. Has not had an unscheduled hour in four years. Want: Close the merger and keep the hotels in the family. Need: One thing in his life that he did not negotiate for..
• Priya Raman — F, 29, Nora’s business partner. The agency’s second half and Nora’s conscience. Sees the whole thing coming from episode four and says so, loudly, every week. Want: Keep the agency and keep her friend from self-destructing. Need: To stop fixing people who have not asked..
• Camille Doyle — F, 31, the intended bride. The woman Adrian was supposed to marry. Not a villain. She wanted the merger, not the man, and she is furious about the incompetence, not the loss. Want: The merger, on her original terms. Need: To admit she also wanted to be chosen..
• Walter Kessler — M, 66, Adrian’s father. Recovering from a stroke, sharper than he lets on. Figures out the arrangement in episode twenty and says nothing for thirty episodes. Want: To see his son want something. Need: To apologize for teaching him not to..
