Sex and the City
A few years after the events of the television series, Carrie Bradshaw and Mr. Big are in a committed relationship and preparing to move in together. They find an expensive penthouse in New York City, which Big buys for them both to live in. Concerned about her lack of legal rights if they separate, Carrie considers selling her apartment to contribute financially. Big proposes marriage, and Carrie accepts.
Carrie is invited by Vogue editor Enid to be featured in the magazine's bridal couture "Age Issue". She models several designer gowns and is especially drawn to a Vivienne Westwood dress, which is later gifted to her by the designer. The attention surrounding the dress leads Carrie to deviate from her original plan of a small, intimate wedding to a large, elaborate extravaganza. The scale of the event begins to cause anxiety for Big, who has been divorced twice.
Miranda Hobbes is struggling in her marriage to Steve. Their intimacy has declined due to work and parenting responsibilities. Steve admits to having an affair, and Miranda decides to leave him. At Carrie and Big's rehearsal dinner, Steve attempts to reconcile with Miranda, but still hurt and upset by his betrayal, she bitterly tells Big that marriage ruins everything. On the day of the wedding, Big experiences doubts and calls Carrie to cancel. Carrie, heartbroken, leaves the venue. When Big tries to speak to her outside, she hits him with her bouquet.
Miranda admits to Charlotte York that she may have upset Big, but Charlotte dissuades her from telling Carrie, as Big has always had doubts about marriage. Carrie travels to Mexico with Miranda, Charlotte, and Samantha Jones on what was meant to be her honeymoon to recover from her heartbreak. Upon returning to New York, Carrie hires an assistant, Louise, to help her reorganize her life. Louise eventually reconciles with her ex-boyfriend and moves back to St. Louis to marry him.
Charlotte, who previously faced fertility challenges, learns that she is pregnant. Miranda confesses to Carrie that she made a discouraging remark about marriage to Big the night before the wedding. Carrie is angered and blames her for influencing Big's decision. Miranda later apologizes, and Carrie forgives her. Carrie encourages her to consider forgiving Steve, and the couple attends counseling and reconciles.
Samantha is living in Los Angeles with Smith, whose acting career is thriving. She becomes increasingly dissatisfied with the dwindling sex in their relationship, especially as she finds herself attracted to her neighbour, Dante. Rather than cheat on Smith, who supported her through her battle with breast cancer, she turns to comfort eating. Eventually, recognizing her unhappiness, she breaks up with Smith and moves back to New York.
A heavily pregnant Charlotte runs into Big at a restaurant, and the encounter causes her water to break. Big takes her to the hospital and waits nearby in hopes of speaking with Carrie. Harry informs Carrie that Big had sent her numerous emails, which she discovers were stored by Louise. The messages include famous love letters and an original note apologizing and expressing his love.
Carrie goes to the penthouse to retrieve a pair of shoes and finds Big there. They reconcile and get married at New York City Hall in the simple original dress suit she had intended to wear before being gifted the Westwood gown. Miranda, Charlotte, and Samantha arrive to celebrate with them, having been invited by Big. The four friends later raise a toast to Samantha's 50th birthday and the years ahead.
