Description: John Beckwith and Jeremy Grey are divorce mediators in Washington D.C. who have a habit of crashing weddings to meet and seduce women. After a successful season of wedding crashes, Jeremy convinces John to attend the wedding of the U.S. Secretary of the Treasury’s daughter, William Cleary. At the event, the duo targets Cleary’s other daughters, Gloria and Claire. Jeremy ends up hooking up with Gloria on a nearby beach during the reception, but she becomes overly possessive and obsessive. Meanwhile, John tries to win over Claire, the maid of honor, but faces interference from her arrogant and unfaithful boyfriend, Sack Lodge.
When Gloria invites the pair to an extended weekend at her family’s Maryland estate, John insists on accepting the invitation to get closer to Claire. During their stay, they encounter various challenges: the Secretary’s wife harasses John, Gloria’s brother Todd makes advances toward Jeremy, and Gloria’s obsession with Jeremy escalates to a disturbing level. Sack also causes trouble, injuring Jeremy during a game of touch football. At dinner, John spikes Sack’s drink to get him out of the way and spend more time with Claire.
The next day, John and Claire grow closer during a sailing trip, while Sack’s prank during a hunting expedition leaves Jeremy with a gunshot wound. As Jeremy recovers, John and Claire share a romantic moment on a secluded beach, where Claire admits her doubts about Sack and kisses John passionately. Meanwhile, Gloria tends to Jeremy’s injuries and reveals her true nature, leaving Jeremy to realize he might actually have feelings for her.
