He is flat out perfect. However her wedding is in to be held in Alabama her birth state, where she had to divorce her ex husband before remarrying.

Reese gives up a financially sound relationships with many upsides in New York City for a selfmade buisness man in the poverty stricken state of Alabama where life would definitely have its turmoil.

For reasons unknown at times, people always tend to choose love over what is ideal and have a higher percentage to succeed. For love people do crazy things sometimes. But whats to blame for these decisions that drive parents crazy? I'd say movies just like these. Movies directed and dictated in Hollywood always have love story end with happy endings rather than what may seem logical and what many people actually do in life. But many times in real life do people really make these head scratching decisions. Say a single mother has a child with some type of disease. She meets this man that can financially provide for her son but then runs into an old old old ex boyfriend that she still loves. Who does she choose? I think 90% of the time she chooses the ex boyfriend. But why? Movies that people watch everyday whether it is a romance or not tends to have a happy ending. And everyone just wants a happy ending. Why can't romance be a logical subject? When it comes to other important things such as work, we do the logical thing. We don't always like work but we still go. This only shows that society has its ideals of what it wants the people to do and it is engraved in our minds, even though we may think it is our ideals it really isn't.

All in all, Love and romance is just a luxury where logic has no place. And those who choose logic don't usually get their happy ever after. That is why we see so many unfaithful partners and domestic troubles. We may choose what makes us feel better and a love happily ever after is more powerful than a methodically life chosen happily ever after and all of these thoughts are nothing more than ideas plotted into our very minds from the day we were born.
