The Week Of 2018

Wedding Preparations Begin

Sarah Lustig and Tyler Cortice are just one week away from their wedding day. Tensions rise as both families face the challenge of planning a wedding that reflects their combined expectations and financial constraints.

Kenny's Financial Decision

Despite Tyler's father, Kirby Cordice, being wealthy, Sarah's father, Kenny Lustig, insists on paying for the wedding himself. This choice leads to a frugal yet chaotic affair as they scramble to organize necessary arrangements.

Hotel Room Upgrade Attempt

In his efforts to impress Kirby, Kenny tries to upgrade their hotel room for a more luxurious experience. However, due to poor management by the hotel staff, renovations result in extensive damage to other rooms, complicating the family dynamics.

Crowded Home

With hotel issues in full swing, the already crowded Lustig household must accommodate additional family members who can no longer stay at the hotel. This leads to an increasingly chaotic environment as everyone tries to prepare for the upcoming wedding.

Seymour's Misunderstanding

Kenny's elderly uncle, Seymour, is mistakenly believed to be a World War II veteran. To preserve the family's honor and counter media scrutiny, Kenny convinces the mayor to hold the wedding reception as a celebration of Seymour's supposed heroism.

Seymour's Passing

During Tyler's bachelor party, an unexpected tragedy occurs when Seymour passes away. Kenny struggles to cope with the fact that Seymour's health issues were due to diabetes, not battlefield injuries, leading to a blunder in their plans.

Cancellation of the Reception

As news of Seymour's passing reaches the mayor, the planned reception at City Hall is quickly canceled. Kenny and his family must devise a new plan to salvage the situation and maintain their reputation.

Bat Rescue Mission

To remedy the mayor's disappointment, Kenny, his wife Debbie, and Seymour’s son Charles hatch a bizarre plan. They catch bats and release them down the chimney of City Hall in an effort to divert attention away from the canceled reception.

Wedding Day Arrives

Finally, the wedding day comes, and despite the chaos and numerous setbacks, the ceremony surprisingly unfolds smoothly. Both families come together to celebrate the union of Sarah and Tyler.

Heart-to-Heart Moment

During the reception, Kirby confronts Kenny about his erratic actions throughout the preparations. This heartfelt conversation helps Kenny recognize that his behavior was driven by love for his daughter.

Mishap During the Reception

As Kenny and Kirby engage in their heartwarming discussion, a clumsy mishap occurs. Water unexpectedly pours onto the electronics, causing a fire that adds further chaos to an already eventful day.

Kenny's Remorse

Feeling guilty for the chaos and the missteps that led to the fire, Kenny confesses his true motivations to Sarah. In a touching moment, Sarah finds it in her heart to forgive him, reinforcing their bond as a family.

Reception Continues at Home

After the mishaps at the wedding venue, the reception continues at the Lustig home. This shift in location allows the families to celebrate together in a more intimate setting, strengthening their connections.
