Eldest son Sunny and Shay's Indian wedding is fast approaching. Their experience is very different to that of parents Arvinder and Sarbjit, who had an arranged marriage 35 years ago and met for the first time on their wedding day.
Times have changed but their son's joyous occasion is overshadowed by Shay's difficult relationship with her own family. They don't approve of her marriage to Sunny and her attempts to patch things up have so far not gone as planned. As Shay reaches out to her family to be by her side on the biggest day of her life, will her dreams of a reconciliation come true?

Shay's mother - whoever and wherever she is - is a total idiot.
