Although her flaky mother ( Jill Clayburgh) encourages her to return home, Annie rents a bedroom from British immigrant Gil ( Matt Lucas) and his lazy overweight sister Brynn ( Rebel Wilson). After her bakery failed, she lost her boyfriend and all of her savings, and now works in a jewelers store selling engagement rings.

At the engagement party, Annie meets the other bridesmaids for the first time: Lillian's marriage cynical cousin Rita, Lillian's idealistic newlywed friend Becca, Doug's brash sister Megan, and Doug's boss' seemingly perfect and wealthy wife Helen.
