A Charming Return to the Chaotic World of Weddings
In the much-anticipated sequel, 27 Dresses 2: The Mother of the Bride, we revisit the beloved couple Jane Nichols (Katherine Heigl) and Kevin Doyle (James Marsden) nearly two decades after they first found their own happily ever after. She famously served as a bridesmaid 27 times and eventually became a bride once, but Jane is now poised to step into what promises to be her most challenging and emotionally taxing role to date: The Mother of the Bride.
The film catches up with Jane and Kevin two years shy of their twentieth wedding anniversary. They are living a vibrant, if slightly chaotic, life in the heart of New York City, successfully running a major event planning company that they built together. Their professional world is the epitome of organization and perfection—a reflection of Jane’s innate need for control. This highly structured world, however, is violently upended when their fiercely independent, Gen-Z daughter, whom they affectionately call “Nic,” drops a bombshell announcement. Nic, a free-spirited art student, has decided to marry a musician she met just three weeks prior at Coachella, and they want to elope.
