Bride Wars

Emma Allan and Olivia 'Liv' Lerner, childhood friends, share a dream of a spectacular June wedding at the Plaza Hotel. This fantasy is sparked by witnessing a wedding in the hotel's grand halls two decades earlier, creating a lasting impression on both women.

After the tragic loss of her parents, Liv's life takes a different turn as she becomes a determined attorney at Ropes & Gray. Meanwhile, Emma decides to follow her passion as a middle school teacher, embracing a life that often includes putting others before herself.

Liv discovers a Tiffany box in her closet and is filled with excitement, believing Daniel will propose soon. However, it is actually Fletcher, Emma's controlling partner, who proposes that very night, setting off an unexpected series of events for both women.

The next day, Liv confronts Daniel about her proposal expectations, only to find he also has plans to propose shortly. This unintentional misunderstanding ignites a fervent competition between Liv and Emma, completely unbeknownst to them.

Emma and Liv enthusiastically dive into the wedding planning process, enlisting the help of wedding planner Marion St. Claire. Each woman selects June 6 for their wedding date, unaware that they would soon be vying for the same day.

Tensions rise when a third bride, Stacey, refuses to change her wedding date, leading Emma and Liv into a fierce competition to secure the venue they both desire. This budding rivalry begins to strain the fabric of their friendship.

The friendship between Emma and Liv starts to fray after Liv prematurely announces her wedding date. This simple miscommunication quickly spirals into a series of passive-aggressive acts, revealing the underlying tensions in their relationship.

As Emma and Liv vie for wedding dominance, their rivalry escalates with increasingly petty acts of sabotage. Liv disrupts Emma’s dance classes while Emma retaliates by sending Liv mismatched candy for her gown.

Amidst their wedding planning chaos, both women's relationships with their partners become strained. Liv's frustration with Daniel grows, while Fletcher’s controlling nature makes Emma increasingly restless, highlighting their respective struggles.

The tension comes to a head when Fletcher confronts Emma about her growing confidence and assertiveness. Meanwhile, Liv opens up emotionally to Daniel, even as her work life threatens to push her towards a demotion.

As the wedding day approaches, Emma’s father gives Liv his blessing, bridging a gap that had widened amid tensions. In a frantic attempt to make amends, Liv sends her assistant Kevin to swap a disruptive DVD, resulting in unexpected chaos.

During the wedding ceremonies, a chaotic moment arises when the wrong DVD plays, leading to a humorous skirmish between Emma and Liv. This incident becomes a pivotal moment that forces both women to reflect on their actions and relationship.

After the comedic bust-up, Emma finds the courage to confront Fletcher, recognizing she is not the person he fell in love with years ago. While Liv continues with her wedding, Emma chooses to be by her side as the maid of honor.

Fast forward a year, Emma and Liv enjoy a girls' night out, reflecting on their journeys. Emma reveals she married Nate, and both women share the delightful news that they are expecting children with the same due date.

Joy fills the air as both Emma and Liv celebrate their impending motherhood. The bond of their friendship strengthens as they embrace this thrilling new chapter in their lives, brimming with excitement for what the future holds.
