Mother of the Bride

After a year at Discovery Resorts in London, Emma Winslow is taken by surprise when her boyfriend RJ proposes to her. This joyful moment is tinged with apprehension as Emma worries about how her mother, Lana, will react to the news.

Emma returns to her hometown of San Francisco, eager to share her exciting news with her mother, Lana. However, their reunion is complicated by the fact that Emma hasn't informed Lana about her relationship with RJ yet.

Upon returning home, Emma drops a bombshell—she plans to abandon grad school to run her own business while promoting Discovery. While Lana is initially supportive, her enthusiasm quickly dims upon learning about the upcoming wedding.

After revealing her plans to marry RJ at a lavish resort in Phuket, Lana expresses shock but claims to be happy for Emma. The wedding is funded by Discovery, which adds a layer of complexity to the situation.

Lana travels to Thailand with her friend Janice, excited to be part of the wedding planning. However, things take a turn when she encounters RJ's father, Will, who holds a significant connection to her past.

While in Thailand, Lana reunites with former acquaintances from Stanford and discovers RJ is the son of Will Jackson, her ex-boyfriend. This revelation brings back unresolved feelings and memories of heartbreak.

An embarrassing moment occurs when Lana unexpectedly runs into Will while he is in a vulnerable state. This leads to a quick exit and highlights the tension between the two as old emotions resurface.

Lana confides in Emma about her past trauma with Will, expressing concern over RJ. Emma feels protective and advises her mother to let go of the past, insisting RJ is not like Will.

As the wedding preparations progress, tensions rise when Discovery's brand manager, Camala, sidelines Lana from key decisions. Lana feels unappreciated and excluded, leading to friction in their mother-daughter relationship.

In a heated moment during a game of pickleball, emotions overflow as Lana and Will showcase their undeniable chemistry. Emma, witnessing the tension, worries that their connection might complicate her wedding.

Feeling marginalized by the wedding planning process, Lana decides to rebel and joins her friends for some fun, which includes skinny dipping. This act of defiance comes with consequences and further strains her relationship with Emma.

After a fight about the wedding dynamics, Emma recognizes how the situation has affected her mother. She reaches out for reconciliation, emphasizing her own autonomy over wedding decisions, leading to a heartfelt moment between them.

At the final dinner rehearsal, Lana overhears Will talking about another woman, triggering her insecurities about their past. This moment casts doubt on her relationship with RJ and highlights unresolved feelings.

Ultimately, Lana and Will confront their past, navigating through old wounds and misunderstandings. This confrontation allows them to explore the possibility of a new beginning together.

In a surprising twist, Will proposes to Lana once more, asking for a second chance. This heartfelt moment signifies a new chapter for both of them, leading Lana to embrace the future with hope.
