Plot

Junior wedding planner Lauren Crandell is assigned a wedding for Darla Tedanski, the daughter of a prominent family by her boss Gennifer "G", who promises her a long overdue promotion if she does well.
The next day, Lauren meets quirky, hunk firefighter Nick Corina when he rescues a groom from a failed 'grand entrance.' She feels an immediate attraction, but when Lauren accidentally meets Nick again that night, she sees Darla hanging on him. Yes, when she checks, Darla's groom is "James Nicholas Corina." She tries to forget Nick and focus on Darla's wedding plans while a bridal magazine interviews G, who takes sole credit for all their weddings - for which Lauren has done most of the work. Darla turns out to be a "Bridezilla", a controlling, egotistical child of privilege who has lost perspective about her wedding day. Lauren's main relief is the humour and camaraderie of Marc, Darla's long-suffering, overtly gay aide.
That night, Lauren's mother Cookie invites Lauren and Lauren's one-year-separated husband Brad to dinner. Not knowing Brad cheated on Lauren, Cookie wants Lauren to give the marriage a second chance, but all Lauren wants is for Brad to stop stalling and sign the divorce papers she sent him weeks ago.
