SYNOPSIS:

A wedding is the backdrop for four intertwined tales of four stages of modern American romance: Attraction, Dating, Commitment, and Disaster.

Sexy barfly Kim captures the heart of uptight Hollis even as he composes a love letter to another girl. Turning men into puppy-dogs comes naturally to Kim... but in this case her own feelings are getting a bit out of control.

Arrow-stiff Jane is surprised when her blind date Reggie pulls out an egg timer and sets it for five minutes. Five minutes later she is appalled when he invites her to bed, pointing out that women supposedly know within five minutes of meeting a man how far they'll "go". Chaos ensues.

A friendly cooking competition between lovers and rival wedding caterers Sarah and Rudy goes haywire when she shows him up in the kitchen. Naturally this leads to recriminations, accusations of infidelity, and other verbal foreplay.

Yuppie Barth makes the boardroom presentation of his life: a proposal of marriage to the equally industrious Claudia. Everything is perfect -- including the ring for which his assistants shopped everywhere. But Claudia wants flowers and violins, not charts and graphs.

These four stories unfold in real time and through flashbacks as we discover who is actually getting married -- in other words, which couple gets a "happy ending" -- or do they all get one? (Of course they do... but not quite in the ways they expect.
