Ana Maria Macedo is a Brazilian model and fashion designer. In 2008, she had planned the wedding of her dreams but her Swedish fiance, Jon Jonsson, got cold feet and canceled the ceremony. Comparing the event to the film Sex and the City, Macedo said, "I'm a real-life Carrie Bradshaw, jilted by my own Mr. Big."NY Post: Brazilian Beauty Wed at Last (June 16, 2009)

Like the movie, Macedo had her own happy ending when Macedo and Jonsson wed on June 13, 2009 at St. Bartholomew's Church in New York City.

Just like Chris Noth's character, Mr. Big, in Sex and the City, Jon Jonsson ended up jilting his bride after a case of cold feet. Also like Mr. Big, the handsome and successful Swede watched his wedding explode from 80 guests to a transatlantic event with 250 guests. Never one to seek the spotlight, Jonsson cracked under the pressure and called of the wedding.

A week after the wedding was supposed to have occurred, Jonsson apologized to Macedo with two bouquets of roses. He gave her white roses and said, “This is for peace" and then gave her red roses and told her, "This is for how much I love you."NY Post: "I Was Jilted Like a Real-Life Carrie Bradshaw" (July 20, 2008)

The couple eventually wed on June 13, 2009.
