Paul and Jamie Buchman are young urban newlyweds who try to sustain their marital bliss while sidestepping the hurdles of love in the '90s. When their planned evening alone turns into an impromptu dinner party, Paul and Jamie prove to be very resourceful in finding quality time together.

Paul nervously anticipates an impromptu reunion with an old college flame and nobly invites a curious Jamie to accompany him and Selby. But he can't help competing with Selby for his ex-girlfriend's attention -- while Jamie discovers a secret about the former relationship that even Paul doesn't know.

An apartment-bound Paul and Jamie want to make the most of their Sunday in Manhattan and finally agree to a strict precise agenda. But their best-laid plans are waylaid by wailing relatives, well-intentioned friends and street-clogging parades -- and just getting to 14th street will be a moral victory.

A pouting Paul reluctantly agrees to give up his Saturday to shop for a sofa with Jamie. But their sofa safari hits two snags when Paul objects to Jamie's choice of a "love seat" and when he learns that his good buddy Dr. Mark Devanow was Jamie's gynecologist.

Paul and Jamie both anxiously await the results of professional projects that could further their respective careers: For him, it's a TV documentary he directed, for her, it's a ludicrous public relations proposal. But when Jamie lands her account and a TV network rejects Paul's film, he struggles to put on a happy face during her raucous celebratory party.

Paul feels like the odd man out when Jamie's exceedingly picky parents come to visit. And while her handy dad shows mechanically challenged Paul how to remove a hair clog from the plumbing, Jamie shudders every time her parents question her choices.
