In the 2001 film “The Wedding Planner,” Jennifer Lopez plays wedding planner Mary Fiore.
Mary is an ambitious San Francisco professional who organizes other people’s perfect ceremonies while struggling with her own romantic life. Her plans become complicated when she falls for Steve Edison, a pediatrician who is engaged to one of her clients. Her father also tries to arrange a marriage between her and Massimo Lenzetti.
The film was directed by Adam Shankman and released by Sony Pictures Releasing on January 26, 2001. It co-stars Matthew McConaughey as Steve Edison, Bridgette Wilson-Sampras as Fran Donolly, and Justin Chambers as Massimo.
A common mix-up is confusing Mary Fiore with Fran Donolly, the client whose wedding Mary is hired to plan. Another interesting fact is that Jennifer Lopez’s album “J.Lo” reached number one during the same week the film topped the U.S. box office.
