Short description
Having already left three grooms at the altar, Maggie Carpenter is branded "the runaway bride" by jaded New York journalist Ike Graham. But, after his facts are called into question, Ike races to Maggie's hometown to save his reputation and report on her upcoming fourth trip down the aisle – during which he's convinced she'll run again. Though he's there on a muckraking mission, Ike can't help but fall for this breathtaking heartbreaker.
What's left behind the scenes
- Richard Gere's character shares a name with the actor's father.
- In many scenes, Garry Marshall cast twins and triplets, having noticed that there were so many of them among the infants in such a small town.
- Julia Roberts rejected all offers to film sequels to her movies until 2004, when Steven Soderbergh's "Ocean's Twelve" was released. Initially, she even refused to star in "Ocean's Twelve," the sequel to Soderbergh's "Ocean's Eleven" (2001). She only agreed to film "Runaway Bride" (1999) on the condition that it would be a complete story—one movie with no sequels.
- The 'duck face' made by Julia Roberts made it into the film at the insistence of director Garry Marshall (1934-2016). He had previously seen Roberts making the face while entertaining his grandchildren.
