Carmen and Dave meet the wedding planner and are overwhelmed by how much they have to do. They have a photo shoot (for the wedding invitations) with David LaChapelle that has the couple stripped naked and posing dead in a morgue. Later, Dave's father and stepmother come over to help plan the big event.

The couple chooses flowers and a cake for their wedding before Dave departs on a European tour with Jane's Addiction and leaves Carmen to continue planning on her own in his absence. Carmen has a fitting for her wedding dress.

Carmen must make decisions regarding the ceremony location, since Dave is still on tour. She chooses her wedding ring at a jewelry store where Madonna shops. Carmen's friends throw her an over-the-top bridal shower, involving a blow-up doll and a midget stripper.

Carmen visits a new location for the wedding. In the evening, Dave returns from Europe. The next day they work on the seating chart for their wedding. Carmen and Dave travel to Las Vegas, where they have a combined bachelor/bachelorette party.

Now only days before the wedding, Carmen and Dave sign their marriage license. Later, Carmen weeps as they listen to their wedding song together. Dave decides to have a physical to get himself in shape for the big day and has the family doctor make a house call. This leads up to the rehearsal dinner, where the bride and groom's families meet for the very first time.

Carmen, who is staying at the hotel where she and Dave are to be married, wakes up on the morning of the wedding and finds that her room has no heat. Dave, back at the house, tries to relax before his nuptials. The hotel staff prepares for the event, and the wedding planner takes care of last minute details. Carmen and her bridesmaids have their hair and make-up done. Dave and the groomsmen get ready for the ceremony to begin.
