Nice timing. The recently wed Jennifer Lopez stars as Mary Fiore — a wedding planner with walkie-talkie headset, cellphone, clipboard and video crews who guides happy couples from proposal to altar to reception and who, of course, just wants to be the bride.
Racing to
an appointment, she meets Dr Steve Edison (Matthew McConaughey) when her designer heel gets stuck in a manhole cover, a rubbish truck rolls towards her and Steve hurls her out of the way. As you do.
They have a perfect date and Mary believes she has met Mr Right. Until her millionairess client Fran (Bridgette Wilson-Sampras) introduces Mary to her fiance, who is of course Steve.
What will Steve do? The decent thing or the other decent thing? What will Mary do? The decent thing or ... ? If you liked Muriel's Wedding, My Best Friend's Wedding, Four Weddings And A Funeral, The Wedding Singer, you'll know what to expect, how it all comes out, and you won't be disappointed.
