synopsis from wikipedia :
At the height of the Christmas shopping season in New York City, Jonathan Trager (John Cusack) meets Sara Thomas (Kate Beckinsale) as they both try to buy the same pair of gloves at Bloomingdale's. They feel a mutual attraction, and despite the fact that each is involved in other relationships, they end up eating ice cream at Serendipity 3 together, and soon exchange goodbyes. However, both realize that they have left something at the ice cream bar, and return only to find each other again.
Considering this to be a stroke of fate, Jonathan and Sara decide to go out on the town together, and end up in Central Park, where they are ice skating on the Wollman Rink and Jonathan teaches Sara about Cassiopeia. Jonathan says that freckles on Sara's arm match the pattern of the Cassiopeia constellation. At the end of the night, the two are forced to decide some kind of next step. When the smitten Jonathan suggests an exchange of phone numbers, Sara writes hers down, but it flies away with the wind. Sara is very determined that they should allow fate to take control of their future. Jonathan begs to have her phone number. Sara asks Jonathan to write his name and phone number on a $5 bill, while she writes her name and number on the inside cover of a used copy of Love in the Time of Cholera. If they are meant to be together, she tells him, he will find the book and she will find the $5 bill, and they will find their way back to each other. Jonathan is not satisfied with this so they go in a hotel with 28 floors and go into different elevators to see if they both choose the same floor. They each take a single glove from the pair they purchased. They both press floor 23, but a child gets on the elevator with Jonathan and presses all the buttons, so it is too late when he reaches floor 23. They think they've lost each other forever.
Almost seven years later, Jonathan is at an engagement party with his fiancé Halley Buchanan (Bridget Moynahan). On the same day, Sara comes home to her house to find Lars Hammond (John Corbett), a famous new age musician, proposing to her. As their wedding dates approach, each find themselves with a case of cold feet, and decide to return to New York in an attempt to find each other again.
Jonathan and his best friend Dean Kansky (Jeremy Piven) return to Bloomingdale's in an attempt to find her name using an account number on the original sales receipt for the gloves. They meet the same salesman (Eugene Levy) and eventually end up with only an address. There they meet a painter Mr. Mignon, who has very little recollection of Sara. However, he does recall that she lived there for a short time after being referred by a placement company, which he identifies as being located in a shop next to Serendipity 3. Jonathan and Dean follow the lead to find that the agency has moved and its former location is now a bridal shop. Jonathan takes this as a sign that he is supposed to stop looking for Sara, and get married to Halley.
Sara meanwhile takes her best friend Eve (Molly Shannon) with her to New York, where she visits the locations of her date, hoping that fate will make Jonathan turn up. At the Waldorf Astoria, Eve bumps into an old friend who is there to get married the next day. The old friend, Halley, invites Eve and Sara to the wedding without anyone realizing the groom is Jonathan. Failing in their search, Sara and Eve console themselves with a coffee at Serendipity. Eve is handed the $5 bill as change, but neither notices anything at the time.
During the wedding rehearsal the day before the big event, Halley hands Jonathan a copy of Love in the Time of Cholera as a groom's gift, having noticed him picking up the book every time they're in a used bookstore. It is the copy that Sara had written in, and he immediately sets off to find her. He gets to the house but sees people in her house being intimate, when it's actually Sara's sister and her boyfriend. Jonathan tells Dean that he wouldn’t have wanted to break off what they have and comes back home for the wedding.
Sara decides not to go to the wedding, and starts to return home. She returns to the Waldorf to retrieve her belongings, where she finds Lars, who followed her to New York. Walking with Lars to Central Park, she sees Cassiopeia in the sky, and breaks her engagement with Lars. On the plane the next day, Sara is asked if she wants a headset. To her surprise, she finds her wallet got exchanged with Eve’s. She pays the flight attendant $5 for the headset, and realizes she has the same $5 bill which Jonathan wrote on seven years earlier. Now that she knows his full name, she gets off the plane to search for Jonathan. His neighbors tell her he’s getting married the same day. She rushes to the hotel only to see a man, apparently cleaning up at the end of the ceremony. She is in tears until the man says the wedding was called off. Eve then gets in a cab to go home while Sara plans to keep looking, later Sara remembers the jacket she left in the park.
Jonathan, in the meantime, is wandering around Central Park. He finds Sara's jacket and uses it as a pillow as he lies down. As the first snowflake drops, the other glove floats to him and he sees Sara. They introduce themselves to each other formally for the first time. The film concludes with Sara and Jonathan at Bloomingdale's enjoying champagne on their anniversary at the same spot where they first met.
