Alex (Perry) and Isabel (Hayek) get more than they bargained for from a one-night stand. After Isabel finds Alex and lets him know she's pregnant, the two take the next logical step: getting married on the UsefulNotes/LasVegas strip that very night.

* CompleteTheQuoteTitle: The title doesn't really make sense considering it's a romantic comedy, until you hear the Music/ElvisPresley lyric "Wise men say / only fools rush in / but I can't help / falling in love with you" in the film. This in turn refers to the saying "Fools rush in where angels fear to tread."

During a montage of Alex and Isabel learning to live together, Isabel walks in to use the bathroom while Alex is brushing his teeth and Alex flees the bathroom, clearly Squicked out.

He says "Tamazula" and the local replies "trambia!" Alex doesn't realize the local understood him and that trambia is ''how'' he gets there...until the local tells him in English what trambia means.
