EXCLUSIVE: Jonathan Bennett, who recently signed an exclusive, multi-picture overall deal with Crown Media Family Networks, will headline and executive a new movie for Hallmark called Wedding of a Lifetime.

Brooke D’Orsay (A Dickens of a Holiday!, Grace and Frankie) will co-star in the original that’s currently in production to air later this year.Bennett (Mean Girls) and D’Orsay play an engaged couple who have been together since their days as high school sweethearts in a close-knit mountain town, but have found themselves in a rut and out of love.

As Darby and Jake prepare to break the news of their separation to their families, they inadvertently find themselves entered in a “romantic relationship competition” hosted by a popular national daytime TV show after being nominated by the whole town.

The grand prize is a televised, all-expenses-paid “wedding of a lifetime!” Though Darby and Jake are uncomfortable pretending they are still engaged, they decide to continue with the show.
