One burst pipe. One Polar Express disaster. One holiday wedding that proves love can survive anything—especially Chicago in December.

Riley James swore she could handle a simple Christmas wedding. Chicago, Union Station, her closest friends—it was supposed to be easy. But when a burst pipe floods the venue two days before “I do,” she finds herself ice-skating through chaos, dodging carolers, and trying not to cry in a Santa-themed bar crawl planned by Eli Weston.

Hayes Weston thought surviving a national tour with Riley was wild. Planning a wedding with her? That's another level. Between family drama, the holiday crowds, and the hundreds of kids in pajamas stranded at their “replacement” venue, even his calm is cracking.

Still, when everything goes wrong—the officiant stranded, the lights shorting out, the Polar Express audience refusing to leave—Hayes remembers why he fell in love with her in the first place: she laughs in the wreckage and finds magic anyway.

Because love isn't perfect. It's just perfectly theirs.
