Fast forward to the present, and young Melanie is a New York-based fashion designer engaged to the most eligible bachelor in the city, Andrew Hennings (Patrick Dempsey). She has even changed her name to Melanie Carmichael so that her Southern roots aren't detected.

After Andrew proposes, Melanie decides to make a trip to Alabama to give her parents the news and finalize her divorce from Jake (Josh Lucas), her estranged husband. A series of events take place here, including a fallout with her childhood friend, Bobby Ray Bailey and Melanie begins to learn more about Jake's life here.

When Andrew arrives and learns of Melanie's real background, the wedding is canceled, but he soon decides he still wants to be with her and the preparations go forward as planned.
