"I Me Wed" is a silly film about the independently-minded woman Isabel Darden, who decides to make a statement by marrying herself.
In the process of planning this event, Isabel falls in love with young Colin. When he protests that the sacredness of the ceremony would be lost and that he wants to marry her to enjoy that ritual, Isabel refuses to change the plans and proceeds with the ceremony that has turned into a media circus.
The act of marrying herself turned Isabel's best friend, Amy, away from her. It apparently ended the longstanding association with Isabel and her contractor, the father of Colin. Above all, it seemed to end the loving relationship of Isabel and Colin.
While the cast was likable, especially the engaging wedding planner and the location filming in Boston was great, the film itself struck too deep a chord in demonstrating the cult of narcissism today.
As the Frank Sinatra song goes, Isabel wanted to say, "I did it my way." But the way that it came out was "It's all about me." The protagonist discovers that her narcissism had the potential to wreck her life. And for Ms. Darden, that is darned pathetic.
