Gavin's parents, Pam and Mick, are worried about their son's upcoming wedding and express their concerns to Stacey's mother, Gwen, who is uncharacteristically distant. Meanwhile, Stacey's brother, Jason, becomes increasingly annoyed with Gavin's best friend, Smithy, who won't stop singing karaoke.
As preparations for the wedding continue, a new complication arises: Stacey's ex-boyfriend, Gavin's former best friend, Nessa's on-again-off-again lover, Dave, shows up unexpectedly. The awkward encounter leaves both Gavin and Stacey feeling uneasy, but they try to brush it off and continue with their plans.
Despite the various stressors, the couple remains committed to each other and their impending nuptials. They both share heartfelt conversations with their respective best friends, Smithy and Nessa, which showcase their strong bonds and loyalty to each other.
