Sabrina Watson, an upscale lawyer from a wealthy African-American family, meets and quickly falls in love with Jason Taylor, who comes from a working-class background. After a whirlwind romance, they decide to marry and plan a wedding at Sabrina’s family’s luxurious estate on Martha’s Vineyard. The Watson family is led by Sabrina's mother, Claudine, who is overprotective and has high expectations for the event. On the other hand, Jason’s mother, Pam, a postal worker, feels left out and somewhat disrespected by the Watsons' opulent lifestyle and their more refined approach to the wedding.

As the wedding day approaches, tensions arise between the two families due to their differing backgrounds and values. Misunderstandings and cultural clashes pose significant challenges, turning the wedding preparations into a battleground for acceptance and compromise. Despite the ongoing conflict, the couple faces personal tests of their commitment and love for each other. The dynamics between the families force everyone involved to confront their own prejudices, perspectives, and priorities, leading to moments of reflection and growth.
