[edit] Plot
Lopez plays a San Francisco wedding planner, Maria 'Mary' Fiore. She is too consumed with planning others' events and has a bad memory with her ex-fiance who cheated on her just before their wedding day in her car to worry about her personal life until she is saved from a nasty accident by Dr. Steve Edison (McConaughey).

Fiore and Edison spend a wonderful evening in the park, watching an old movie (Two Tickets To Broadway), dancing and nearly kissing before being interrupted by an untimely rain shower. After glowing to her friends that she had finally found a man that she likes, she soon learns that Edison is engaged to her biggest client Fran Donolly (Wilson).

After the revelation, Fiore is reunited with a childhood friend Massimo (Chambers) who asks Fiore to marry him; after a little persuasion, she says yes. Fiore reaches the altar with Massimo, but their wedding is halted by her father who knows she is not truly in love with Massimo. Meanwhile, Donolly and Edison's wedding fails (due to their own doubts about marriage) and Edison rushes to city hall to try to stop Fiore and Massimo's wedding himself. With help from Massimo, Edison finds Fiore and asks her to dance at the park where they first met and fell in love.

The original actors set to play Mary and Steve were Jennifer Love Hewitt and Brendan Fraser, respectively. Both eventually dropped out due to scheduling conflicts, leaving Lopez and McConaughey to be the eventual stars.

The movie debuted at number 1, making Lopez the first actress and singer to have a film (The Wedding Planner) and an album (J. Lo) at number one in the same week.

Many of the scenes were shot in Golden Gate Park, specifically at the Music Concourse (between the old De Young Museum and the old California Academy of Sciences) and the Japanese Tea Garden.

The 2004 made-for-television movie I Do (But I Don't), starring Denise Richards and Dean Cain, have a similar plot: a complicated relationship between a wedding planner and a fireman who is engaged to Richards' character's client.
