Full plot (contains spoilers)

She is in her thirties, Parisian, a pharmacist, and has a problem: her close friends are getting married. Despite all the ridiculous aspects of marriage that she has always mocked, the fact is that Lola now wants Arthur to ask for her hand in marriage, much to his dismay—he had always thought he was safe from that kind of predicament. But for Lola, there is no longer any alternative: it’s marriage or a breakup! Arthur refuses to give in, and the couple split up… before getting back together. Hurt by the separation, Arthur is then persuaded, but on the condition that their wedding be very different from the others. So there they are: Lola, the snob, and Arthur, the misfit, with no real support from their parents and no real financial backing, searching for a sumptuous and original wedding.
