It Had to Be You (2000)

In the heart of the bustling city, Charlie Hudson, a retired NYPD crisis negotiator, is on the verge of marital bliss with Claire Parker, a stunning business maven. Claire meticulously orchestrates a wedding planning weekend amidst the glamour of New York City, from the grandeur of The Plaza Hotel to the luxury of Bergdorf Goodman. However, an unanticipated business venture snatches Claire away, leaving the groundwork for their nuptials in limbo. Parallel to Charlie's story, Anna Penn, an earnest school teacher, is primed to register for her wedding with David Allen, an ambitious advertising executive. However, David's absence forces a change of plans, and fate interweaves the paths of Charlie and Anna. Over a transformative three-day span, they find themselves navigating the complexities of wedding planning together, their union stoking a flame of self-discovery. In the midst of their journey, they encounter a colorful ensemble of wedding consultants who, whilst assisting them, challenge the very fabric of marriage. Charlie's former partner and confidant, Henry Taylor, drowns in his police tasks and spirals into alcoholism, seeking solace from his deep-seated loneliness. Anna's lively best friend, Tracey Meltempi, a vivacious hairdresser, questions Anna's decision to abandon her quest for passionate, "crazy love" and settle for David. As the weekend draws to a close, the course of their lives significantly divert from the paths they'd meticulously paved. What began as a mere weekend of wedding planning morphs into a journey of profound self-realization. Their individual stories of love, loss, and longing converge, and fate ushers them back to each other. Through their intertwined destinies, four wounded hearts embark on a quest for truth, healing each other in the process.
