In a bid to save himself from financial ruin so he can marry the love of his life, Jacqui, Steve agrees to marry Ana (Isabel Lucas), a Russian woman seeking a Green card in exchange for a huge sum of cash.

Behind closed doors, the deal is done. A secret wedding is arranged and in no time life will be back to normal, or so Steve thinks…until a nosy family friend gets wind of the wedding plans and before sundown the whole Thompson family is gripped by wedding fever.
