Elizabeth, a down to earth school teacher and Donovan, a reserved NewYork businessman, are very different. Which means their engagement and wedding is nothing if unpredictable.

Some six months after they first crossed verbal swords at a Washington D.C. dog show, schoolteacher Elizabeth Scott and businessman/philanthropist Donovan Darcy are blissfully in love and newly engaged. With Donovan in agreement, she looks forward to planning a small autumn wedding with the help of her mother and sister. After Donovan's previously scornful Aunt Violet (Frances Fisher) makes a heartfelt apology for her past behavior, Elizabeth is glad to include her in the planning process. As the weeks fly by and the arrangements for the wedding grow more elaborate, Elizabeth feels the burden of expectations she will face as Mrs. Darcy. Worse still, Donovan himself is wrapped up in his work and increasingly unavailable to her. Reminded yet again of their tremendous differences in background and temperament, Elizabeth can't help but ask herself: should she marry Mr. Darcy?—Happy_Evil_Dude

After a whirlwind courtship, handsome New York businessman Donovan Darcy and feisty history teacher Elizabeth Scott are engaged to be married. Donovan's snobbish Aunt Violet, who has clashed with Elizabeth in the past, tries to make amends by pulling strings to book Manhattan's historic Grace Church for the ceremony - resulting in a wedding that must be organized in two months' time. Now Elizabeth, who dreamed of a small garden ceremony, finds herself planning an increasingly large society wedding. When she turns to Donovan for help, he's oddly distant - because he's secretly planning a world tour as a surprise honeymoon. Will the wedding unite the couple or drive them apart?
