Steve Martin narrates this romantic story about a man who is being forced to plan for his daughter's wedding. When the man (also played by Martin) wants no part of this, his wife (Diane Keaton) and daughter (Kimberly Williams) plan the wedding behind his back. The girl's fiancee is well-received by the family (even though the father is stubborn in liking him). The beautiful ending involves the wedding inside a big church and the reception back at the home of the bride's family. A modern-day Cinderella story that's a fabulous example of happily ever after!
