"Those who can't wed, plan" is the expression used to sum up Mary Fiore's (Lopez) life. Never able to find the man she wants to marry, Mary has transformed herself into San Francisco's best wedding planner. Until on day, she is saved from certain death by Dr. Steve Edison (McConaughey), her knight in shining armour. The dream is bought to an abrupt halt however, when Mary discovers that Dr. Steve is the only the groom in the biggest wedding she has ever had to plan!
What we have here is a nice, run of the mill, formulaic romantic comedy that never does anything to rise itself up to the stellar heights of 'When Harry met Sally' or 'Notting Hill'. Ok Lopez and McConaughey look good together on screen, but the material they have to work with never really pushes their acting abilities. This is a shame as the characters are very likable and it could have been so much more, but it does make a good date movie.
