Jane Nichols (Katherine Heigl) has been a bridesmaid for twenty-seven weddings. One night when she is attending two weddings almost simultaneously, she is trampled by a crowd trying to catch the bride's bouquet. A man helps her up and introduces himself as Kevin Doyle (James Marsden). He helps her to her taxi and brings her home. He is on his way home when he realizes Jane accidentally left her planner in the cab, and Kevin picks it up. It turns out that Kevin is the person who writes the Commitments page for the New York City Journal, under the pseudonym of Malcolm Doyle, who happens to be Jane's favorite writer. However, he aspires to write larger articles, real articles. After seeing Jane's planner, he decides to write about "the perpetual bridesmaid" so he can advance his career.

The next day, Kevin sends Jane flowers, but she does not know he was the one who sent them. Her friend from the office, Gina, confirms that Jane is attending her engagement party that evening. It is revealed Jane is in love with her boss, George (Edward Burns), who is the only one who doesn't know about Jane's feelings for him. Jane's younger sister, Tess (Malin Akerman), comes to visit and decides to come to the party. At the party, George asks if what he left on Jane's desk was all right with her, if their new type of relationship was all right. Jane is convinced by her friend Casey (Judy Greer) that he was the one who sent her the flowers. Jane later learns he had left a dry cleaning slip on her desk, right before she is about to confess her love to him. Kevin appears and Jane has her planner returned. He has torn out a week and written his name and phone number on every Saturday for the rest of the year.
