No one in the movie had a clue what the outcome of the movie would be - not even Isitt herself. Isitt was inspired to make a wedding comedy after watching her sister plan her wedding. After months of planning her sister went blind on her wedding day. Isitt claims it was the best wedding she had ever been to.
