My Fake Fiance

Jennifer Verti has spent all her savings on buying her first house, but all of her belongings have recently been stolen while trying to move in. The theft leaves her financially and emotionally shaken as she tries to start over. This loss sets the stage for the rest of the film's schemes and consequences.

Jennifer and Vince meet at a wedding and instantly clash, forming mutual distrust. They derail into a discussion about weddings and are surprised by the cash and gifts couples receive, imagining how easy it would be to earn such income. The encounter seeds a complicated attraction beneath the surface.

After the wedding, Jennifer loses all her belongings again and arranges to meet Vince for lunch to propose a fake romance and engagement. Vince shows interest in the plan, seeing a potential payoff in playing along.

Jennifer's brother-in-law decides to sleep over at the hospital, so Jennifer agrees to take their two children for the night. Vince spends time with the kids and proves he can handle them, bonding with them in the process.

After the kids fall asleep, Vince tries to sleep on an air mattress which springs a leak. Jennifer invites him to sleep on the bed with her, and the two share a kiss, beginning to blur the lines between fake romance and real attraction.

The young boy reveals that their college money is being used to pay for the wedding, threatening the children's future. Vince realizes that the ruse has spiraled into something far more serious than he anticipated.

Vince's estranged father, who recently hit it big at the racetrack, tries to make amends by giving six thousand dollars. He is invited to the wedding, and Vince uses the money to finance the wedding instead of paying off his loan to 'The Monkey'.

At the wedding rehearsal, Jennifer's sister delivers a heartfelt speech that drives Jennifer away from the room. She confesses to Vince that she can't go through with the marriage, revealing the depth of her internal conflict.

Jennifer's sister is given the wedding vows Jennifer wrote for Vince, and Vince writes his own vows and hands them to the sister. This moment signals a shift from a sham engagement to a genuine commitment brewing beneath the surface.

Before the ceremony, Jennifer tries to tell her father that the engagement is a hoax, but he interrupts to express his belief in Jennifer and Vince's future together. His reassurance complicates her resolve but underscores the pressure of family expectations.

Jennifer reluctantly walks down the aisle as her father continues to express his optimism about Vince. The preacher begins the ceremony, and a line about 'Some just want all the gifts' makes the crowd laugh, momentarily lightening the tension.

When the preacher invites the vows, Vince begins to read the vows Jennifer wrote for him, but tears them up and speaks from the heart instead. He proclaims his real love for Jennifer, transforming the moment from a ruse into a declaration.

The emotional moment culminates as Vince asserts that he truly loves Jennifer, signaling the end of the pretend romance and the beginning of a real commitment. The ceremony softens into a heartfelt declaration of love.
