Kat Ellis, a single New Yorker, returns to her parents’ house in London to be the maid of honor at her younger half-sister Amy’s wedding. The best man is her former fiancé, who dumped her two years ago. Anxious about facing him and eager to impress, she hires a suave escort, Nick Mercer, to pose as her boyfriend.

Kat intends to make her former flame, Jeffrey, jealous, but Nick convinces everyone, including Kat, that they are madly in love. Kat then finds herself slowly falling for Nick as he gradually falls for her.

The night before the wedding, Kat discovers Amy slept with Jeffrey when they were still together, and he dumped her because he believed he was in love with Amy. Nick had discovered this a day earlier, and when Kat learns the truth, she feels betrayed from all sides and pushes Nick away. He decides to return to America, leaving Kat the money she had paid him.

On the wedding day, seeing Kat distressed, her stepfather asks her if Nick “is the guy for you.” Kat realizes he is, so she sets off to find him. Meanwhile, just before the wedding ceremony, Amy confesses her betrayal to her fiancé, Ed, but professes her love for him.

Upset, Ed chases Jeffrey out of the church and down the road. Jeffrey insists he gave up on Amy and believes he’s done nothing wrong. To which Ed calls him a “back-stabbing weasel,” though Jeffrey believes he’s not in the wrong since he slept with Amy before she and Ed dated. Ed shouts that Jeffrey was engaged to Kat, proving he was still in the wrong for what he did to Kat.

Nick picks up Ed in a car as Jeffrey disappears into the woods. They talk about love, and Ed decides he loves Amy more than he is angry. To make it clearer he should go back, Nick tells Ed if he returned, the couple would end up having great makeup sex. They return to the church, with Nick as the “new” best man. Just before the ceremony, Nick tells Kat he realized he’d “… rather fight with you than make love with anyone else,” and they kiss passionately.

Kat and Nick begin a real relationship, and he gives up his job. Amy and Kat reconcile. TJ, Kat’s cousin, also apparently enjoys a moment with Woody after the wedding. Jeffrey learns absolutely nothing, and at the end is seen trying to get the attention of a female neighbor.
