The plan is to sing their popular single Marry Me and tie the knot just after.

Except, just moments before the big moment, Kat sees a viral video of the man of her dreams kissing her assistant. But instead of becoming a mess and showcasing he was heartbroken, Kat approaches the stage and marries a complete stranger picked from the crowd.

The stranger emerges to be Charlie Gilbert played by Owen Wilson who is a divorcee and is present in the concert with his teenage daughter and his best friend played by Sarah Silverman

After getting hitched in strange circumstances, Kat and Charlie focus on making the relationship work. The big question is can both of them find a common ground and make their strange marriage – a modern fairytale.

Marry Me Cast

The global superstar Jennifer Lopez is seen in the lead as Kat Valdez who is also a hugely successful pop star who is seemingly on the top of her life initially. In one of the behind-the-scenes videos, Jenifer Lopez is seen talking about how she wanted to present the life of a celebrity in the modern era.

“The fact that you are a celebrity in the public eye, people feel like they have a right to know everything and it’s just like ok, but I do get to have something for myself right?” She says, before adding, “And that’s what we wanted to show in this movie, not just the celebrity that is Kat Valdez but the human being.”
