After a whirlwind courtship, handsome New York businessman Donovan Darcy and feisty history teacher Elizabeth Scott are engaged to be married. Donovan's snobbish Aunt Violet, who has clashed with Elizabeth in the past, tries to make amends by pulling strings to book Manhattan's historic Grace Church for the ceremony - resulting in a wedding that must be organized in two months' time. Now Elizabeth, who dreamed of a small garden ceremony, finds herself planning an increasingly large society wedding. When she turns to Donovan for help, he's oddly distant - because he's secretly planning a world tour as a surprise honeymoon. Will the wedding unite the couple or drive them apart?
