Psycho Wedding Crasher (also called The Wedding Stalker) is a 2017 Lifetime Movie of the Week Psychological Thriller directed by David Langlois and written by J. Bryan Dick.Jenna Kravitz (Heather Morris) is a shy, orphaned young woman who lives with her Aunt Daisy (Joan Van Ark of Knots Landing fame), who owns Daisy's Wedding Corner. Making wedding dresses for Daisy's business, Jenna dreams of becoming a beautiful bride herself, though cruel Daisy repeatedly tells her she'll never find love. Jenna thinks she's found Mr. Right in Glenn Cooper (Jason Cermak). Problem is, he's the groom for the bride, Marci (Fiona Vroom), whose wedding dress she just finished making. After crashing their wedding, Jenna befriends Marci to get close to Glenn, but her obsession with Glenn becomes deadly.Obviously no relation to Wedding Crashers, though if you took the script of that movie and asked V. C. Andrews, Alfred Hitchcock, Tennessee Williams and Charles Dickens to rewrite it, it might end up looking something like this.

Chekhov's Gun: An actual gun in Chelsea's dresser drawer, later used by Jenna to kill Scott. Chelsea specifically mentioning her favorite brand of lingerie at the wedding reception, since seeing that brand of panties in her bed (planted by Jenna) leads Marci to conclude that she's sleeping with Glenn.

comment
The Ingenue: As a mild-mannered, bright-eyed, Endearingly Dorky blonde, Jenna ostensibly counts, which gets reinforced in the scene at Scott's apartment, where it's implied that she's a virgin (a detail she confirms in her Motive Rant in the final act). But as she's slowly revealed to be obsessive, psychopathic and murderous, this ends up being subverted.

Wounded Gazelle Gambit: After running out on her date with Scott, Jenna dishevels her clothes and bashes her own head before going to Marci and claiming Scott tried to force himself on her. Ironically, while Marci is quick to believe her claims, Glenn (the target of Jenna's obsession) is more apprehensive.

Single-Target Sexuality: Jenna has this for Glenn, emphasized when she goes back to Scott's apartment for what he clearly assumes will be a sexual tryst, but ends things after one kiss and runs away. In her Motive Rant at the climax, Jenna clarifies why that happened—she's a virgin and wants Glenn to be her first.

Abhorrent Admirer: Scott (Glenn's best man) has been pursuing Chelsea (Marci's bridesmaid and former girlfriend of Glenn) for years, but his oily personality turns her off. Jenna becomes one for Glenn at the climax when she tries to murder Marci, then traps him and tries to make him have a "wedding" with her, witnessed by a bunch of stuffed animals.

Revisiting the Roots
 Psycho Wedding Crasher / int_8eb3d48f
comment
Revisiting the Roots: With its low-key, slow-burning suspense style centered on a well-developed villain played by a familiar television face, this feels like a throwback to Lifetime's older thrillers and their NBC Monday Night at the Movies ancestors, as opposed to the more frantic, over-the-top thrillers with obscure actors that modern Lifetime favors.

Meet Cute: Jenna met Glenn when he showed up to drop something off at Daisy's house and he bumped into Jenna as she slipped on the front steps. In her mind, anyway, this was a straight version of this trope. Her obviously staged "don't I know you?" encounter with Marci at the golf clubhouse to kick off their "friendship" is a variation.
