Synopsis

Victor arrives home from the UK to marry his fiancée, the uptight Nicole Hernández who wastes no time planning the fairytale wedding of her dreams. With Nicole's snooty mother meddling over every detail, Victor finds the cost is far beyond his budget. Despite repeated warnings from his best friend Omonigho whom Nicole loathes—along with his Warri-based family, most notably his no-nonsense Aunt Foweh—Victor is pressurised to appease not only Nicole and her mother, but also the equally demanding Hernández sisters—Stacey, Nancy, and Augusta. With the help of a high-end wedding planner, the Hernándezes overlook every detail of Nicole's big day while Victor's own suggestions are either ignored or ridiculed.

Trouble ensues at the couple's native engagement ceremony when Victor sprays his bride with naira notes instead of dollar bills. He apologises, but Nicole's bridezilla demands persist. He now regrets breaking up with Angela, the ex-girlfriend he left for Nicole, and attempts to win her back despite his engagement. However, she sees through his facade and advises him to resist keeping up appearances for clout. During a pre-marriage counseling session, Victor and Nicole stir up chaos when she focuses more on her Candy Crush and ignores the meeting. He breaks up with her, a move Omonigho approves, but upon discovering Angela now has a new man, he reconciles with Nicole.

Victor recruits his friends to stand in as decoys via a phone conversation with the Hernándezes after they insist on booking celebrity music artistes to perform at the wedding. A stag party is held, and the next morning Victor, hungover from the night before, is horrified that he is late for the wedding. His groomsmen worsen the situation by hiring kekes to take him and his groomsmen to the church, fulfilling an old pact. They arrive in the middle of Mrs Hernández' interview with HipTV, causing her embarrassment live on air, and she slaps him in front of his horrified friends. Upon realising Nicole will forever remain an ungrateful snob after she rejects his ring, Victor storms out of the church, his friends in tow.

Victor and his groomsmen arrive at Angela's house and beg her to consider rekindling her old relationship. Although she accepts his apology, Angela has not forgotten the hurt she endured after he abandoned her, and chases them away with a whip.
