Mackensie, Laurel, Emma, and Parker have been friends since childhood. Now, they run a wedding planning company called “Vows.” Parker’s obsessive-compulsive nature makes her the perfect person to plan out all the niggly details. Emma has a green thumb with the flowers—growing many of them herself—and is a whiz at decorating. Laurel creates cake masterpieces, as well as lovely pastry desserts.
