Bovi Ugboma plays Victor, the newly engaged bachelor who takes it upon himself to give his materialistic fiancée, Nicole (Ini Dima-Okojie) a fairy tale wedding despite his reservations. The film was produced by Bovi Ugboma and directed by Aniedi Anwah, and premiered on 9 September 2016 in Lagos, Nigeria. Synopsis Victor (Bovi Ugboma) arrives home from the UK to marry his fiancée, the snobbish Nicole Hernández (Ini Dima-Okojie) who wastes no time planning the fairytale wedding of her dreams. With Nicole's snooty mother (Shaffy Bello) meddling over every detail of the pending occasion, Victor finds the total cost is far beyond his budget. Despite repeated warnings from his best friend Omonigho (Gregory Ojefua) whom Nicole loathes, along with his Warri-based family, most notably his no-nonsense aunt Foweh (Najite Dede), Victor is left with no choice. He is pressurised to please not only Nicole and her mother, but also the equally demanding Hernández sisters—Stacey (Toni Tones), Nancy (Amanda Mike-Ebeye), and Augusta (Thelma Ezeamaka). With the help of high-end wedding planner Caroline (Adunni Ade), the Hernándezes arrange every outline of Nicole's big day while Victor's own suggestions are either ignored or ridiculed. Trouble ensues at the couple's native wedding ceremony when Victor sprays his bride with naira notes instead of dollar bills; the couple fall out when Nicole accuses him of embarrassing her. Victor apologises, but her bridezilla demands persist. He now regrets breaking up with Angela (Omoni Oboli), the ex-girlfriend with whom he cut ties years ago, and attempts to win her back. However, she can see through his facade, and advices him to desist from keeping up appearances for clout. At a pre-marriage counselling session, Victor and Nicole invoke chaos she pays more attention to Candy Crush than she does the counsellor. He breaks up with her, a move Omonigho approves, but upon discovering Angela now has a new man, Victor reconciles with Nicole. Victor recruits his friends to stand in as decoys via a phone conversation with the Hernándezes after they insist on booking celebrity artists to perform at the wedding. A stag party is held, and the next morning Victor, hungover from the night before, is horrified that he is late for his own wedding.
