Speaking
of
the
question
of
who
plans
the
wedding
for
the
planner…
fans
of
the
film
weren’t
the
only
ones
hoping
for
a
sequel.
Ellis
told Entertainment
Weekly in
2019 that
he
had
originally
envisioned
a
trilogy
(and
a
whole
TV
series)
and
the
next
installment
had
Mary
going
full
bridezilla
as
she
and
BFF
Penny
(consummate
cinematic
best
friend
Judy
Greer) planned
her
and
Steve’s
wedding.
“The
drama
of
it
is
she’s
become
exactly
the
kind
of
thing
she
hated,
and
she
takes
a
step
back
and
figures
out
what’s
important
to
her,”
Ellis
explained.
Meanwhile,
there would
be
some “grit”
between Mary
and
Steve,
who
might
realize “they
weren’t
looking
at
each
other
realistically”
during
the
events
of
the
first
film. “There
were
some
interesting
romantic
questions
there.”
But
what
would
a
third movie
entail? “We’d
also
batted
around
the
idea
that,
during
the
planning
of
the
wedding,
Mary
found
out
she’s
pregnant…
Which
would
lead
to
the
third
movie:
Mary
planning
her
daughter’s
wedding!”
Ellis
shared.
However,
their
idea
was
that
Mary
and
Steve
split
up
at
some
point
but
found
their
way
back
to
each
other while
getting
ready
for
their
kid’s
big
day.
“The
idea
of
what
she’d
want
for
her
daughter
and
what
her
daughter
wants
would
come
into
play,
and
whatever
her
journey
was
in
the
second
movie,
in
the
third
movie
she’d
learn
a
lesson
and
try
to
teach
her
daughter
what
she’s
learned
and
probably
try
to
talk
her
out
of
the
grand
spectacle
of
it
all
because
it
doesn’t
mean
anything,”
the
British
writer
said. “What’s
important
is
the
person
you’re
going
to
be
with,
and
she’d
try
to
teach
her
daughter
that
lesson.”
Ugh,
we’re
so
conflicted! While
that
could
be
a
fun
movie
(and
one
that
could
be
made
right
now,
incidentally),
is
the
thought
of
Steve
and
Mary
divorcing
something
we
even
want
to consider?
Kinda
defeats
the
purpose
of
the
early-’00s
rom-com.
