Liv (Kate Hudson) and Emma (Anne Hathaway) are best friends who have planned every detail of their respective weddings from the time they were little girls playing “Here Comes the Bride” in their attics. They have always known, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that they will be married at New York’s ultimate bridal destination, the Plaza Hotel.
Now, at age 26, they’re both about to get married; they’re about to realize their dreams and they’re about to live happily ever after. Or maybe not… When a clerical error and subsequent clash in wedding dates pits these two reasonable, rational, respectful young women against each other, an explosion occurs that almost shatters their friendship.
Kate Hudson who both stars in and produces Bride Wars takes on the role of Liv, a succesfull lawyer who ise used to getting what she wants -the perfect job, the perfect man, and the perfect wedding. That is, until her best friend Emma played by Anne Hathaway, decides to claim the same dream. Emma, a schoolteacher who has always been god at taking care of others, but not so much in looking after herself, finds her inner Bridezilla and comes out swinging when she thinks her wedding day is at stake.
