A wedding planner gets tangled in her own guest list when an old flame turns out to be the groom's best man in this 2023 Thai romantic comedy.
What is Congrats My Ex! about?
Risa built her career on other people's happy endings, running a wedding planning company with a tight-knit team of friends who can turn any venue around in a weekend. When a lavish wedding lands on the books for a couple named Arun and Monica, the job looks routine at first: flowers, seating charts, a nervous mother of the bride. Then the past walks in wearing a suit. An ex-partner surfaces inside the wedding party, and Risa has to keep the event on schedule while old feelings resurface at the worst possible moment. The film leans into the awkward comedy of running into an ex at work, using the pressure-cooker setting of a wedding countdown to force conversations that both people have been avoiding for years. Around Risa, her circle of friends supply the comic relief and the reality checks, pushing her toward honesty even when logistics say there's no time for it.
