I can't believe I haven't seen the movie yet, it seems like almost everyone in the wedding industry has. But, if you're like me and never got around to seeing it on the big screen, here's a synopsis of the movie from 20th Century Fox:
Liv (Kate Hudson) and Emma (Anne Hathaway), best friends since childhood, are always there for each other, through good times and bad. They even become engaged to be married within a few hours of one another. Together they plan their respective weddings, each to take place at New York’s ultimate bridal destination, the Plaza Hotel. But a clerical error and subsequent clash in wedding dates pits the two brides – neither of whom will step aside – against each other, in a competition that quickly escalates into all-out war.
