The film premiered on the Lifetime Movie Network on January 11, 2019.Miya Ellerson (Katie Leclerc), the owner of the N' Style Salon, is happily engaged to Ian Ferguson (Jeff Schine). However, things begin to take a frightening turn after Miya receives an invitation - to the wedding of Ian and his deranged ex-fiancée Lori Parker (Hannah Barefoot).When Lori resurfaces and Miya is subsequently stalked by a veiled figure in a bridal dress, she's convinced that Ian's ex-fiancée is out to sabotage her upcoming wedding to him out of spite. Unfortunately, the police don't believe her story, and even the initially supportive Ian begins to doubt Miya's sanity. She must not only save her relationship with him, but also his life.Additional details and a trailer are available on the production company's website.

Dying Clue: While not able to identify the perpetrator, Mark tells Ian that a woman dressed as a bride was responsible for his car accident, which leads Ian to realize Miya's been telling the truth all along. Lori intends to silence Mark for good before he can reveal any more potentially implicating information, but her attempt on his life fails.

 A Bride's Revenge / int_28cd01ca
comment
Disappeared Dad: Ian's father Grant is nowhere to be seen, as he died nine years before the film's events. On a different note, Lori and Rose resented their father Brady for leaving their mother Nancy behind to live on his own. When the latter was 16, her desire to "destroy his home like he did to [theirs]" culminated in the arson that accidentally killed him.

Implied Death Threat
 A Bride's Revenge / int_3255968b
comment
Implied Death Threat: Downplayed, as Lori threatens to inform the police that Rose was their father's accidental killer if she stops going along with her plan. In the film's climax, when Ian is reluctant to commit suicide by drinking orange juice that's been mixed with rat poison even as she holds him at gunpoint, Lori makes quite a few threats of this sort, which range from inverting this trope to playing it straight.

Kick the Dog
 A Bride's Revenge / int_34dcfc96
comment
Kick the Dog: Lori loves this trope to death. She exaggerates it at one point by unhooking the leash of Ian's dog Winston, walking him to the side of a busy street, and allowing him to run into oncoming traffic—resulting in his death offscreen. At Deborah's funeral, she "apologizes" for "not knowing" that Miya's mother was dead. She then twists the knife in even deeper by revealing Miya's whereabouts on the day Deborah died, making it known she's been following her around, and labeling her a "crazy" woman... all in front of Ian. In the film's climax, she mockingly says to Ian that it's "so sad" seeing Deborah's crypt at the Brentcliff Mausoleum.

Make It Look Like an Accident: When the brides resort to murder, this is the method used. It applies for the murder of Ian's mother Deborah, and it almost works when Rose appears in front of Mark while he's driving. He ends up crashing into a tree, but then ultimately survives.

Never the Obvious Suspect
 A Bride's Revenge / int_438e94fa
comment
Never the Obvious Suspect: Lori is a crazed and delusional woman who clearly resents Ian, but the bride's face remains hidden for much of the film thanks to her veil - suggesting that not everything is as it seems. Subverted almost halfway through the film. The bride unmasks herself to reveal Lori under the veil after she kills Ian's mother Deborah... ...except she also has an unwilling accomplice - her younger sister Rose - who dresses up as the bride whenever Lori does not. This is part of a twisted scheme to make Miya appear to be crazy. When Miya spots a rose painted onto a fingernail of her colleague/friend Sandra, she suspects her to be Rose using a false identity, only to be quickly proven wrong. However, the rose was painted by Caroline - one of Miya's other colleagues - as part of a Frame-Up since she is the real Rose.

The Reveal: The house fire that killed Lori's father Brady 14 years before the film's events was an act of arson perpetrated by Lori's younger sister Rose. Lori blackmailed Rose into being her accomplice, threatening to let the police know that she was the arsonist who accidentally killed their father if she refused to do so. The final part of the Parker sisters' plan is to lure Ian to his late mother Deborah's crypt at the Brentcliff Mausoleum so that Lori can force him to commit suicide before they kill Miya.

Revenge: Lori's motive for concocting her scheme against Ian, as she wants both him and his new bride to be to suffer. Revenge by Proxy: A large part of Lori's plan for revenge includes this, as she sets up his dog Winston to die by allowing for him to run into oncoming traffic, kills his mother Deborah, and instructs Rose to play chicken so that his brother Mark gets into a car accident. When that fails, she shuts off his life support system, but he in saved in time by hospital staff.

Oh, Crap!: Miya's reaction to discovering an incriminating bridal dress and veil in a closet at the Parker residence. Seconds later, she has a similar reaction upon realizing that Caroline is Rose Parker. A few more moments pass as Miya tries to escape out the front door while Rose desperately asks her to "wait" and "just stop," only to come face-to-face with Lori, who knocks her out by hitting her over her head with a brick.

Speak Ill of the Dead: Lori has nothing nice to say about dead people who she absolutely despises, and neither does her mother Nancy. The same applies to Lori's younger sister Rose, who accidentally killed their father Brady. One example of this happens after Lori kills Deborah via a Staircase Tumble. She has these thoughtful words to say about both her and Ian, which Rose listens to offscreen while standing in her older sister's doorway.

It Was Here, I Swear!: On what would have been her first anniversary with Ian, Lori sends Miya an invitation to their cancelled wedding. When both Ian and Detective Watts ask to see it, she's unable to find it because Rose threw the invitation away when she wasn't looking. After Miya is almost attacked by Rose acting as the bride in a restaurant bathroom, she rushes out to tell Ian. When he comes to look, the only woman present is an innocent blonde in a white dress. Cue Miya desperately trying to convince Ian she's not crazy. It happens again when Miya spots Lori acting as the bride and fleeing from the Ferguson residence in the wake of Deborah's murder. Detective Watts mentions how no intruder was spotted by anyone else.
