Synopsis
Harry - or Harish, as his assimilated Indian parents named him - is 22, handsome, charming, and about to begin his adult life in New York City. It should be the perfect situation for a single guy, but Harry's not taking any chances. He's determined not to be vulnerable to a "love marriage" that will leave him bitterly divorced like his parents. To the shock of his family and friends, Harry announces that he wants a traditional arranged marriage to an eligible young woman from India. With his old-fashioned uncle's help, Harry eventually finds the "perfect" Indian girl and persuades his parents to accept his decision. Soon, elaborate wedding plans are underway and Harry's American friends join him on his trip to India, where he'll meet his bride Nita for the very first time. But just as the marriage is imminent, Harry wonders if tradition will really help him find foolproof happiness. He asks himself if his budding friendship with Theresa, an appealing American girl, might actually suggest something deeper than friendship alone. And once he's in India for his wedding, meeting his fiancee, surrounded by friends and family, and hoping for the security that tradition and rituals can provide, Harry starts to think that no amount of planning can make a marriage risk-proof. With two families and two cultures watching events unfold, what will Harry do?
