Meet the wedding party:
THE BRIDE AND GROOM
Celine and Luke are meant to get married and live happily ever after. But Celine's more interested in playing the piano, and Luke's a serial cheater.
THE BRIDESMAID
Phoebe, Celine's sister, is meant to finish college and get a real job. Instead she pulls pints, lives with six flatmates, and has no long-term aspirations beyond smoking her millionth cigarette.
THE BEST MAN
Archie, Luke's best friend and ex-boyfriend, is meant to move up the corporate ladder and on from Luke. Yet he stands where he is, admiring the view.
THE GUEST
Vivian, Luke's other best friend and other ex, was meant to put up with Luke's bullshit when they dated. But she didn't. And now she is contented, methodically observing her friends like ants.
As the wedding approaches and these five lives intersect, each character will find themselves looking for a path to their happily ever after - but does it lie at the end of an aisle?
Hugh and Grace are two young professionals with pretty teeth and a house in south Dublin.
They are in mutual unrequited love with each other. Hugh is in love with the surprisingly vulnerable reality of Grace, but she is known to herself and everyone she knows as a girl-who-has-it-all. Grace is in love with the dashingly marriageable idea of Hugh, but has yet to engage with the actually-very-neurotic-sometimes-even-Catholic reality of him.
Watching on is Tara - Grace's sister, dry and pragmatic and truth-telling - and Archie - best man at the wedding, he has spent ten years being Hugh's boyfriend, with the slight complication that Hugh hasn't been his boyfriend back.
As the wedding approaches and the key players converge, each will find themselves looking for a path to their happily ever after - but does it lie at the end of an aisle?
