Carmen and Dave are overwhelmed meeting the wedding planner--so much to do and so little time! First on the agenda is David LaChappelle's photo shoot for the wedding invitations that has them stripped naked and dead in the morgue. Later on, Dave shows the first signs of frustration when Dad and Stepmom come over to help plan the big event.
Carmen fantasizes about a fairy tale wedding while Dave, well, he remembers the time they f**d on a suburban California street. Meanwhile, there's a ton of stuff to do before Dave takes off for his Jane's Addiction tour and leaves the reigns in Carmen's hands: pick the right wedding cake, choose the best flowers and squeeze in Carmen's dress fitting.
With Dave still in Europe on the Jane's Addiction tour, Carmen is left in charge back on the home front. There are major decisions to be made regarding the location of the wedding, the blushing bride gets to select her wedding band from the jewelry store where Madonna shops, and Carmen's friends throw her an extravagant Bridal Shower, involving a blow up doll and a midget stripper.
Carmen spends her morning checking out a new location for the wedding and in the evening Dave returns triumphantly from the first leg of his European tour. The next morning the reunited couple focus on who's going to sit where at their wedding before heading to Vegas for their combined bachelor/bachelorette party.
Carmen and Dave sign their marriage license just days before the wedding. Later, Carmen weeps as they listen to their wedding song and cuddle. To freshen up for the big day, Dave decides to do some spring cleaning--on himself! When the family physician makes a house call, C & D get to play doctor with each other. This all leads up to the rehearsal dinner where the bride and groom's families meet for the very first time.
This is the morning of the wedding and there's still a lot to be done. Carmen wakes up in the hotel room to find her room still has no heat. Back at the house Dave is trying to relax not sure what to do with himself. The entire hotel is preparing for the wedding with the last minute details consuming the wedding planner's staff. Carmen and the bridesmaids get made up as Dave and the groomsmen prepare for the ceremony to begin.
A heady mix of tears, laughter and unruly parrots! Carmen and Dave exchange heartfelt wedding vows, but one of the live birds in the ceremony squawks now instead of holding its peace. Then comes the party. There's the usual cake cutting and bouquet tossing, but there are also playmates and tipsy celebrities. Dave and his friends even get on stage and jam. All parties must end and this one does as Carmen and Dave drive off into the future.
