Full story (spoilers)
The film opens with a flashback to Chloe and David Baker's 10th anniversary, showing a couple deeply in love despite minor quirks like teeth-grinding and coffee-stealing. Ten years later, the reality is starkly different: Chloe is a high-stress family lawyer and David is a struggling entrepreneur. They have grown distant, sleep in separate rooms, and finally decide to separate. Their plans are interrupted when their daughter Amanda arrives home to announce she is marrying her boyfriend Jeremy in just one week at the same Maine resort where her parents honeymooned. To avoid ruining Amanda's happiness, Chloe and David agree to pretend they are still happily married for the duration of the trip. Upon arriving in Maine, they are greeted by Nico, the resort manager who remembers them as the 'perfect couple.' They are forced into a single suite with one bed, leading to awkward negotiations over sleeping arrangements. The 'faking it' becomes physically dangerous when Chloe accidentally sets Amanda's vintage wedding dress on fire with a candle, forcing David to douse it in the bathtub. They spend the week participating in activities designed to celebrate romance, including a high-altitude hike that triggers Chloe's intense vertigo. In a pivotal moment on a suspension bridge, David helps Chloe overcome her fear, mirroring the support they once gave each other. Meanwhile, David struggles with a failing business deal and Chloe manages a pro bono divorce case back home, both realizing that their work-life imbalance contributed to their marital decay. During a night of dancing and a 'limbo' contest, the couple begins to rediscover their spark, but the charade collapses when Amanda catches them in a heated argument. Chloe confesses the truth about their separation, leading Amanda to call off her own wedding, fearing that love is inherently temporary. However, the honesty actually serves as a catalyst for healing. Chloe and David realize they still love each other and decide to give their marriage a 'reset.' They convince Amanda and Jeremy to proceed with the wedding, explaining that marriage isn't about being perfect, but about falling in love with the same person over and over again. When a massive storm washes out the bridge and prevents the minister from arriving, Chloe uses her legal connections to have a retired judge friend grant her temporary authority to officiate. David receives news that his business has finally been funded, and the film concludes with a successful wedding and Chloe and David's reconciliation.
