A warm, comedic examination of pre-marital jitters and commitment anxiety set against the texture of New York City family life and wedding logistics.

Donna and Michael are getting married. But first, they have to plan the reception, get the tux, buy the rings, and cope with their own uncertainty about the decision. Michael fears commitment. Donna has her doubts about Michael's immaturity. Both are getting cold feet.
