Pressured by their parents to find spouses, Asha and Ravi pretend to date during a summer of weddings, only to find themselves falling for each other.

Pressured by their immigrant parents to find spouses, two Indian-Americans pretend to date in order to survive a summer of weddings but find themselves falling for each other as they struggle to balance who they are with who their parents want them to be.

After breaking off her engagement, leaving a successful banking career behind in the city, and moving to New Jersey for a fresh start (as a portfolio manager for an emerging market fund focused on eradicating women poverty, by helping them start new businesses with microloans), Asha Maurya (Pallavi Sharda) couldn't feel more alive. She is an economist by education. Tina (Ruth Goodwin) is Asha's EA at work & James (Damian Thompson) is her boss.

Her mother Suneeta (Veena Sood), on the other hand, thinks that her oldest daughter is about to miss a lifetime of happiness if she doesn't take her focus away from her new startup job and place it on finding a husband instead. Her dad Vijay (Rizwan Manji) cautions Suneeta against meddling with their daughter's life. Priya (Arianna Afsar) is Asha's younger sister and Nick (Sean Kleier) is her boyfriend. Priya and Nick live together, but her parents know nothing about it.

Taking matters into her own hands, Asha's mother creates an online dating profile in order to set Asha up with a "perfect" match. Suneeta sets Asha up with a Desi DreamDate on the internet. The guy shows up to her work, interrupts her critical business meeting with flowers. Due to this interruption Asha blows a critical investor pitch and now James gives her a tonne of homework to study every microloan their company has given in the last 25 yrs.

Enter Ravi (Suraj Sharma) -- or rather Ravi's parents (Dinesh (Manoj Sood) & Veena (Sonia Dhillon Tully)) -- who have the exact same idea for their son, who wrote Ravi's online profile. Ravi was youngest Indian to win the spelling bee and went to MIT at 16. Suneeta has already committed that Asha will meet Ravi. Priya wants the family to be happy at her wedding, and begs Asha to go on the date with Ravi. Asha agrees, and Suneeta also Guilts her into attending all weddings in their friend circle.

Asha and Ravi's reluctant first date is a bust, and they quickly discover that each is in a seemingly different place in their lives right now. Asha has just started a new job, while Ravi has just sold his start up, made some money, and is looking for a new challenge. Asha freaks Ravi out by coming on way too strong on the whole independent woman thing, and clears the deck by saying that "they" are never going to happen.

Suneeta takes Asha to a wedding, where the aunties are relentless and tell her that her ex-fiance Krish already got married to a younger woman. After realizing her mother is relentless and will not give up, Asha proposes a plan to Ravi that would be a win-win for both: a pretend relationship to be each other's date to get through the upcoming wedding season, as Asha is scheduled to attend 19 of these with her mom... She needs the time to do her homework assigned by James.

Yoshi (Julius Cho) is Ravi's best friend. Yoshi starts hitting on Priya, even though she is engaged to Nick. Through countless invitations, dances and dresses over the next three months, Asha and Ravi spend time with each other. Asha is always engrossed in her laptop, but Ravi continues to squeeze in time with her. They are videoed dancing at a wedding and the 4 parents already start planning a wedding date for them. Asha attends a corporate function with James and finds Ravi working as a DJ there under the nickname "Spellbound". Ravi tells Asha that music is the one thing that he does for himself. So, he is taking a break from work and sorting out his family. Asha kisses him.

Nick is a neurosurgeon and is working very hard (learning Hindi, taking bollywood dance lessons) to impress Priya's parents. His own parents divorced after 7 yrs, and he wants his wedding to last for 7 lifetimes. At another date, Asha finds that Ravi has been buying food from his dad's restaurant (as it has been struggling financially), via Yoshi (as his dad wont admit to any failures) and donating it to homeless food shelters across Jersey. They were about to have sex, when Asha falls asleep on Ravi's couch. The next morning Ravi and Asha admit that they like each other. They start enjoying each other's company through the rest of the wedding season. Asha falls in love with Ravi.

Asha gets another chance to pitch her fund to investors. This is the meeting she has been working for all summer. With encouragement from Ravi, Asha sells a vision of women empowerment in south east Asia, and aces the pitch. Asha is offered the head of the South East Asia division role. The company also received another massive investment from Red Star. Asha has to move to London and texts Priya that she has "BIG NEWS". Suneeta sees the text and assumes Asha and Ravi are getting engaged. She gets everyone invited, only for Asha to reveal the real news.

When the families pressure Ravi to propose to Asha, he tells his own truth that he dropped out of MIT and that he is a DJ. Asha also admits that she was only fake dating Ravi to keep her parents off their backs. But then Ravi reveals the name of his trust "Red Star", and its the same trust that made the big investment in Asha's company. Asha is really upset. He says Facebook paid him in stock for his DJ work and its worth millions. Ravi says that he loves Asha, but she says her heart is broken. Asha and Ravi are both miserable. Tina tells Asha that she needs to sign the London contract and go apologize to Ravi who really believes in her. Vijay meets Asha and encourages her to go to London.

The last wedding on the calendar is Priya and Nick. Suneeta tells Asha that she always knew that Priya and Nick were living together. She also tells Asha that she had a boyfriend from a different caste and her father married her off to Vijay. Suneeta wants Asha to go to London, but also says that Ravi loves her and is her happiness. On the day of the wedding, Priya is nervous and Asha calms her down by saying that if she doesn't marry Nick, she will regret it for the rest of her life. Asha then goes to Ravi and apologizes to him for being a great guy. back at the wedding, Nick makes a grand entrance on an elephant built on a outreach.

Ravi is the DJ at the wedding. Ravi proposes to Asha and she accepts. She stays in the US and spends her life with Ravi.
