The story begins with Charles attending the wedding of a friend, where he meets Carrie (Andie MacDowell), an American who seems perfect for him. However, after a brief and passionate encounter, Charles discovers that Carrie is already engaged to someone else. Despite this initial setback, Charles and Carrie’s paths cross repeatedly at various weddings, and their relationship grows in unexpected and heartfelt ways.
