Sometimes the happiest day of all can be the most heartbreaking. Freddie (Tom Riley) and Maura (Sally Hawkins) are getting married, only not to each other. While Freddie is entering his second marriage with the neurotic Sophie (Jade Yourell), Maura's motives for marrying Wilson (Ariyon Bakare) are more for money than love. Then, when the two wedding parties end up at the same reception venue, the house of cards looks set to collapse on the newly weds, guests and all.

Maura’s 8 year-old daughter Molly is increasingly suspicious as to her mother's marital intentions. Meanwhile, the well-intentioned Wilson is being monitored by two bungling detectives, sceptical as to whether or not this marriage is the real-deal. When Maura clashes with Freddie, she risks blowing her ruse.

Increasingly paranoid about Freddie's commitment to a second marriage, Sophie goes off the rails, leaving the party and drinking herself silly with newfound friends. Freddie meanwhile, is stuck in the middle of it all. Can Freddie claw back his relationship with Sophie, or is he looking for love in all the wrong places? Will Maura and Wilson's cover be blown? And can Sophie find happiness beyond the contract of matrimony? The vows have only just been spoken, but the honeymoon period is over.

Written and directed by Stephen Burke, HAPPY EVER AFTERS gives a modern twist to the classic screwball comedy. With a manic mix of romance, deception, sex and love, it offers something fresh and new to the wedding movie genre.
