Beth picks up four coins and a poker chip from the fountain and as soon as she returns to New It's never a good idea to taunt a goddess, though, and Venus takes a highly comical form of revenge. Disappointed, Beth swigs Dom Perignon from the bottle and jumps in the fountain, taunting Venus. That is, until she sees him kissing an Italian woman.
At the wedding, Beth feels like she's making a connection to Umberto's best man, sports writer Nick (Josh Duhamel, a.k.a Fergie from the Black Eyed Peas' man). The wedding will take place in Italy during the same week Beth is in charge of a crucial exhibit of artworks depicting pain. She's stunned when her younger sister Joan announces she's marrying Umberto, a Roman she met on a plane two weeks ago. She barely even believes in love, since she's never found a man she loves more than her job as a curator at the Guggenheim art museum.
Beth (Kristen Bell) doesn't believe in all that romantic nonsense. If you take one of those coins, whoever threw it in will fall in love with you. They throw coins in the fountain for good luck in love. Still, in this movie, modern Romans still pay homage to the Fountain of Love, flanked by a larger than life sculpture of the goddess. Okay, so many Romans are Catholic these days, and not Pagans like their ancient ancestors. They worship Venus, the ancient Roman goddess of love, lust and beauty. What do the Romans do? When in Rome, do what the Romans do.
