Plot

Going to the Chapel follows Emily Anderson, a wealthy bride grappling with cold feet on the day of her wedding to mild-mannered architect Jesse Moore. But before Emily can confess her true feelings, the ceremony is crashed by the bank-robbing Bad Elvis Gang, who are on the prowl for the Heart of Dresden, a $250 million necklace on loan for the event. But when the heist goes awry and the local sheriff's department surrounds the chapel, Emily will become the unlikely ringleader of her own hostage situation in a last-ditch attempt to escape walking down the aisle. Teaming up with head bank robber Tom, Emily must navigate the police, her dysfunctional family, and her own romantic past if she wants to get out of this chapel in one piece.
