Plot
Robbie Hart (Sandler), a wedding singer, is looking forward to his own upcoming wedding to his long-time girlfriend, Linda (Featherstone). He's singing at the last gig he has before his own nuptials when he meets the reception hall's new waitress, Julia (Barrymore). She is engaged, too, to a man named Glenn Gulia.
The day of Robbie's wedding arrives and when the bride is supposed to come down the aisle, Robbie instead sees his own sister, who has a note. Apparently Linda "isn't coming." Robbie is devastated. His friends and family try to cheer him up, but he's a wreck. Linda finally arrives at Robbie's house and explains that she is not in love with the way he is now -- that she only loves the way he used to be, when he was in a "real" band, not a wedding cover band.
Robbie tries to go back to his work, but it does not go well. His miserable situation gets in the way of his ability to entertain guests at weddings. Julia, the waitress, tries to cheer him up, and asks him for a favor. She asks him to help her plan her wedding, because of his experience with weddings. He's reluctant to, at first, but eventually agrees.
As Robbie and Julia begin to spend more time together, they start to become closer. Julia asks Robbie what went wrong with Linda, and Robbie admits that he should have known that Linda wasn't the one, because once, when they were flying over the Grand Canyon, Linda wouldn't change places with him to let him look out the window, even though she had seen it before. Robbie asks how she knew that Glenn was the one, and Julia says that she knew she wanted someone she could grow old with -- "and Glenn will make a really good-looking older man."
Julia's cousin, Holly, asks to be set up on a double date with Robbie and Glenn. Julia gets jealous and ends up drinking until she gets sick. While the girls are in the bathroom, Robbie has a chance to see Glenn in action. It turns out Glenn is a womanizer who has been cheating on Julia frequently for some time and doesn't intend to stop after marrying her. Meanwhile, Holly is confused when Robbie turns down her advances -- until she realizes that Robbie has a crush on Julia. In an attempt to win Julia, Robbie goes to get a job downtown, one with "security", why Julia is marrying Glenn according to Holly. He ends up embarrassing himself, however, with his lack of real world knowledge.
Julia and Robbie both grow more confused as their feelings grow stronger. Robbie finally decides to tell Julia how he feels, but mistakenly gets the impression that she is happy to be marrying Glenn and changes his mind. Heartbroken, he gets very drunk and stumbled home, to find Linda, his ex-fiance, waiting for him by his house. She tells him she wants to get back together, and Robbie reels and passes out. In the morning, Julia decides to tell Robbie how she feels, but she is astonished when Linda answers Robbie's door, wearing only a Van Halen t-shirt. Julia says, "You must be Linda," and Linda says, "Yeah, that's me, Robbie's fiancee." Julia is gone by the time Robbie wakes up and kicks Linda out. Meanwhile, Julia, now hopeless, wakes Glenn up and tells him she wants to get married right away, and he happily offers to go to Las Vegas with her.
