Plot
One year after the events of the first film, Amber and Richard are still happily engaged. The news media company she worked for went out of business, so her friends are unemployed. At Christmastime, Amber and her father Rudy travel to Aldovia to plan her wedding. She continues to blog about royal life with Richard.
