Rick Hays
Genres

Starring
Fiona Gubelmann, Ben Lawson, Amber Stevens West
Tagline
Get ready to fall badly in love.
Overview
Charlotte and Brandon meet online just after their previous relationships have imploded; in an effort to make themselves more appealing, they have fudged, exaggerated, re-imagined, and outright lied about their pasts in an attempt to be each other's perfect match. Now that they've said their "I do's" they are about to get a funny, hellish, and eye-opening look at just who they've vowed to spend the rest of their lives with. Will familiarity breed contempt... or bliss?
