summary: Jordan's mother sets him up on a lot of blind dates with women, none of whom cause him to feel sparks. Meanwhile, he has to prove himself as a wedding coordinator by doing a fabulous job on the newsworthy wedding of a fancy client, whose best man in none other than the only guy Jordan has ever felt sparks with, Jamie. Unfortunately, when Jordan tried to start something with Jamie last summer, he got nothing but rejection in return. Now, to plan the wedding, Jordan and Jamie have to spend a lot of time together.
