THREE DAYS IN JUNE-ANNE

The happily ever after is only part of the story… A funny, touching, hopeful gem about love, marriage and second chances. It’s the day before her daughter’s wedding and things are not going well for Gail Baines. First, she loses her job—or quits, depending on who you ask. Then her ex‑husband Max turns up at her door expecting to stay for the festivities. He doesn’t even have a suit. Instead, he brings memories, a shared sense of humour – and a cat looking for a new home.

As the big day dawns, their daughter Debbie discovers her groom has been keeping a secret. The exes can’t agree on what’s best for Debbie. Gail is seriously worried, while Max seems more concerned with whether to opt for the salmon or prime rib at the reception, if they make it that far. The day after the wedding, Gail and Max prepare to go their separate ways again, but the questions about the future of the happy couple stir up the past for Gail. Because “happy” takes many forms, and sometimes the younger generation has much to teach the older about secrets, acceptance and taking the rough with the smooth.
