As the trailer suggests Emma is getting married to RJ in Netflix's Mother of the Bride. And, Lana, Emma's mother, is flying to attend her daughter's wedding in what appears to be Phuket, Thailand. But the catch is that she has never met Emma's fiancé or his family before the big event.

She arrives at the location with Emma's aunt Janice and the two meet RJ and his father for the first time. To Lana's utter disbelief, RJ's father Will, is the same person she had dated back in college. She decides to be coy about their past relationship, dubbing it as not so "serious."

But her comment is retorted by one of Will's friends who laughs it off and says:

"Are you serious?"

This is followed by a line that details the true nature of their bond and her thoughts about the entire incident. It says:

"My daughter has to fall for the son of the guy who ripped my heart out."

The trailer proceeds as the audience gets a glimpse of the drama that is about to unfold following their meeting after so many years. The trailer promises drama between the two exes, as they try to move past their previous arrangement. It also promises a lot of bitter-sweet moments between the movie's leads. And, lastly, it promises romance and comedy.
