To mitigate the "Bride Wars" phenomenon, it is essential to reframe our understanding of weddings and female friendships.

The rivalry peaks at their joint bachelorette party, which devolves into a physical brawl. However, when Liv’s fiancé reveals he doesn’t want children (a dealbreaker for Liv), she calls off the wedding.
