Dutch and Tulip are in love. And famous because of it. Yet they've never even kissed. As the world's largest Dutch kissing couple, Dutch and Tulip are the larger-than-life version of the cute little statues you see in people's yards. For decades, Dutch and Tulip have stood at the entrance to the town park, blessing couples as they married under their loving eyes. They are Holland, Indiana's claim to fame. But when a storm damages Dutch, the small town considers selling the aging couple. Discovering that Dutch and Tulip are in danger, Lily Mein knows she must save them and her own dream of getting married beneath the 57-foot couple. Problem is...not everyone wants Dutch and Tulip saved. Even bigger problem...Lily has no groom. Oh sure, she's found one; he just doesn't know it yet. She likes his backside.
