Why these tropes fit

Jess Canning is hosting her brother's wedding while guarding a secret: a past indiscretion with Blake Riley, the best man and a professional hockey player with a goofy reputation. Blake sees the wedding as a chance to finally pursue Jess, who resists him as she tries to prove her competence to her family. He works to show her his softer, more serious side beneath the playful exterior, while Jess grapples with the chemistry between them and her fear of repeating her mistake.
