The Wedding Date (2005) is a romantic comedy Clare Kilner and starring Debra Messing and Dermot Mulroney. The film blends romance, humor, and heart, making it a delightful movie for fans of feel-good love stories.

The story revolves around Kat Ellis (played by Debra Messing), a successful but emotionally wounded woman who is invited to her younger sister’s wedding in London. The problem? Her ex-fiancé, Jeffrey (played by Jeremy Sheffield), will be at the wedding, and Kat is anxious about facing him after their breakup. To avoid the awkwardness of attending the wedding solo, Kat hires a charming escort, Nick Mercer (played by Dermot Mulroney), to be her date.

Nick is a professional “wedding date” for hire—someone who accompanies women to events like weddings and helps them navigate social situations. As the two spend time together, their initial business relationship grows into something more, as Kat begins to open up about her fears and insecurities, and Nick’s charm and wit win her over.
