Woven into a disastrous traveling experience are surprisingly cynical comments about marriage. The idea of being joined in holy matrimony seems repulsive to Ben's best friend Alan (Steve Zahn) who, along with almost everyone else the hapless groom encounters, urges him to think twice about being "tied down" to one person for the rest of his life.

She stood by her insistence that no one asked her to lie or offered her a job in exchange for her false affidavit, and refused to agree that the President was lying when his testimony contradicted hers, conceding only that her memory or interpretation differed from...
