    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      One shot during the reception includes a complicated series of dance steps. After many failed attempts, an extra who happened to be a dance instructor asked to teach the actors how to perform the steps correctly.
    • Goofs
      If the wedding planner had to advise one of the three brides that she double-booked a date, wouldn't it have made more sense for her to simply tell the third bride that she made a mistake with her date? The other bride would have most likely gladly taken the 6th, whereas with telling Liv and Emma she was more likely to risk losing a customer.
    • Quotes
      • Marion St. Claire: It was quite a wedding and as I stood there watching I realized something I'd forgotten a long time ago. Sometimes in life there really are bonds formed that can never be broken. Sometimes you really can find that one person who will stand by you no matter what. Maybe you will find it in a spouse and celebrate it with your dream wedding. But there's also the chance that the one person you can count on for a lifetime, the one person who knows you sometimes better than you know yourself is the same person who's been standing beside you all along.
    • Alternate versions
      The UK cinema version was cut for a 'PG' rating. The cuts were: An aggressive use of 'bitch' to describe a female character. A character saying 'Mother F' when she hears her wedding date has been double booked.
