Hallmark Channel's
Memorial Day Weekend Event

Hallmark is celebrating the Memorial Day weekend with a Rom-Com-A-Thon Movie Event - All Day Sunday and Monday.

I personally recommend these movies:

Sunday, May 30, 2021:

One Perfect Wedding
The Convenient Groom
Perfect Match
June in January

Monday, May 31, 2021:

The Perfect Bride
My Boyfriend's Back: Wedding March 5
My Best Friend's Bouquet
From Friend to Fiancé
A Country Wedding

*While I like many of the movies listed above, especially A Country Wedding, The Perfect Bride, June in January, etc... I think the Hallmark Channel missed a great opportunity here to play some movies that have a patriotic theme.
