"The Groomsmen: Second Chances stars Mean Girls actor Jonathan Bennett as former pro basketball player turned coach Danny, while his business manager and eventual husband Zack is played by This Biter Earth and A Night Like This actor, Alexander Lincoln. The bulk of the film focuses on Danny's attempts to suppress his feelings for his friend, while Zack plans his wedding to his partner Nolan (Adam Rhys-Charles). Yet, and this is a pretty hefty spoiler alert, on the day of the wedding, Zack confesses that Danny's feelings are reciprocated."
"The end of the film flashes forward, and shows Danny and Zack finally getting wed in Greece, the same location Danny and Nolan were set to get married in. The romantic comedy, which was first released in 2024, aired on the Hallmark Channel on Saturday (13 September), marking the first time a gay wedding had been shown on the hugely popular channel. The Hallmark Channel specialises in romantic and holiday shows and films."
"We are proud that this move is the first gay wedding movie in Hallmark history, but we are even more proud to be a part of creating a space where everyone can feel seen. We hope you enjoy watching it this weekend and we hope you see the power of what friendship and love can do."
