Created by my fiancée and me last night over post-wedding space shopping drinks:
Our movie opens with Denise, a cute, small town, self-made, 30-something professional, and her fiancé Brian walking around a NYC studio space. They are browsing for a potential wedding spot. Denise is energetic, smiley, and romantic in a nice sun dress (Mandy Moore?). Brian (called “B-side” by his friends) is in standard hipster tightness, expensively shabby. Brian (Justin Long?) is an attempt to profit on hipster backlash. Denise is the Drew Barrymore vanilla woman of every chick movie.
Due to Brian’s whining, they have no luck finding a space. Denise, at Brian’s mean, sarcastic urging, resolves to find another partner for wedding planning. Mother issues block that option and her best-friend, co-worker, and confidant Carrie is a Type-A, hater of love, children and cute, who while funny, has no interest. With few options, she stumbles upon an event planner named Ethan, new to her ad firm, that is so handsome and well-dressed, he must be gay.
Ethan and Denise manage to get a wedding on the schedule although Brian nixes all of Denise’s dream options (favorite flowers and such) as being “not deck” (cool). He spends his time not pursuing his career as a DJ/film maker and spending his enormous trust fund. His only contribution is to book a DJ, “Duchess Chill”, who he is sleeping with, unbeknownst to Denise.
Over the course of the many lunches and gown shopping scenes, Denise and Ethan really connect, but he is vague about his love life. Minutes before the wedding, she learns that he is not gay at all and actually crushes her. At the altar (decorated in Brian’s black) she decides to walk away from Brian and his money for Ethan. At this moment, Duchess Chill storms in and reveals that she is pregnant, confirming Denise’s decision in the eyes the congregation and world.
Cut to a new wedding montage, showing a beautiful ceremony complete with all of Denise’s favorites and dreams as she walks the aisle, Ethan beaming at her from on the stage, Carrie happy in a bridesmaid gown beaming at some other side character that we can assume she has found true happiness with.
The End.
Please note: This treatment is how Hollywood would see today’s pic, and has no bearing on real life.
Please also note: I am aware that this a complete rehash of The Wedding Planner, My Best Friends Wedding, and The Wedding Singer. I am not aware however how that would prevent this movie from doing really well.
