The Wedding Ringer

Doug Harris, a successful tax attorney, finds himself in a panic as he realizes he needs a best man for his upcoming wedding to Gretchen Palmer. Despite his accomplishments, he lacks a close network of friends and grows increasingly desperate as the wedding date approaches.

After fainting from the stress of wedding planning, Doug is referred to Jimmy Callahan, who runs The Best Man Inc. This company specializes in providing best man services for grooms who lack the traditional camaraderie needed for their big day.

Initially skeptical of Doug's unusual request for a 'Golden Tux,' Jimmy listens as Doug expresses his dire circumstances. The prospect of earning $50,000 plus expenses ultimately convinces him to take on the challenge, setting an eccentric series of events in motion.

To keep his true identity hidden, Doug adopts the alias Bic Mitchum. This decision leads to a string of comedic situations as he and Jimmy navigate the complexities of wedding preparations while maintaining their cover.

Jimmy starts gathering a group of unique characters to form the groomsmen lineup. Among them are Fitzgibbons, a fugitive, and Lurch, a plumber looking to escape his mundane life, who all bring their own quirks to the unconventional wedding party.

Doug introduces Bic to Gretchen, surprising her with honeymoon tickets to Tahiti. To blend in better, Doug insists that Jimmy adopt the persona of a military priest, leading to a disastrous family brunch where Jimmy is forced to spin wild tales.

After an unfortunate mishap involving Doug's grandmother, she is rushed to the emergency room, adding to the growing turmoil of wedding planning. This incident creates further complications, forcing everyone involved to improvise even more.

The groomsmen engage in a variety of staged activities to impress both Doug and Gretchen. Their antics lead to a heartfelt slideshow at the rehearsal dinner, which wins over Gretchen and boosts Doug's confidence.

As the wedding day approaches, hidden truths start to come to light, leading to anxiety and tension among the groomsmen. Doug begins to feel the weight of their deception as the pressure mounts.

On the wedding day, with the family priest backing out, Doug comes up with a last-minute idea for Jimmy to officiate the ceremony in disguise. This decision leads to chaos as the ceremony unfolds, filled with unexpected revelations.

During the ceremony, Gretchen confesses her true motives for marrying Doug, leaving both Doug and Jimmy in shock. Overhearing this moment prompts Doug to reconsider everything about their plans and relationships.

Just as Jimmy is about to deliver his best man speech, Doug interrupts to reveal the truth about their facade. This confession triggers a series of humorous misadventures as everyone rushes to escape the awkward situation.

After the chaotic wedding, Doug pays Jimmy the contracted fee, and they begin to form an unexpected bond. This newfound friendship is solidified as they decide to use Doug's honeymoon tickets for a spontaneous trip to Tahiti.

In a comedic twist, a post-credits scene features Jimmy and Doug engaging in a hilariously competitive game of tennis. This moment hints at the continuation of their adventures, showcasing their ongoing camaraderie.
