Movie Description
In this romantic comedy an engaged woman goes to Italy to find out if the man her Ouija board said she was meant for actually exists. While there she meets and falls in love with a man who claims to be the one, and she must decide whether or not to trust fate.
Synopsis
Faith is a young girl in Pittsburgh who learns from a Ouija board that her destined soul mate will be a man named Damon Bradley. As a teenager, she is told the same thing by a fortune teller. Now in her twenties and teaching in a Catholic elementary school, she has decided to marry a steady, but rather dull, podiatrist, and has "almost, but not quite" given up on the hope of finding Damon Bradley. However, ten days before the wedding, a chance call from an old school friend of her fiance's sends her scurrying to the airport in a last ditch, frantic effort, before her marriage, to find her destiny.
