Plot
A few years after the events of the television series, Carrie Bradshaw and Mr. Big are in a committed relationship and preparing to move in together. They find an expensive penthouse in New York City, which Big buys for them both to live in. Concerned about her lack of legal rights if they separate, Carrie considers selling her apartment to contribute financially. Big proposes marriage, and Carrie accepts.
Carrie is invited by Vogue editor Enid to be featured in the magazine's bridal couture "Age Issue". She models several designer gowns and is especially drawn to a Vivienne Westwood dress, which is later gifted to her by the designer. The attention surrounding the dress leads Carrie to deviate from her original plan of a small, intimate wedding to a large, elaborate extravaganza. The scale of the event begins to cause anxiety for Big, who has been divorced twice.
Miranda Hobbes is struggling in her marriage to Steve. Their intimacy has declined due to work and parenting responsibilities. Steve admits to having an affair, and Miranda decides to leave him. At Carrie and Big's rehearsal dinner, Steve attempts to reconcile with Miranda, but still hurt and upset by his betrayal, she bitterly tells Big that marriage ruins everything. On the day of the wedding, Big experiences doubts and calls Carrie to cancel. Carrie, heartbroken, leaves the venue. When Big tries to speak to her outside, she hits him with her bouquet.
