Before the couple can act upon their impulses, they stumble into a mysterious light and are condemned to relive the day of the wedding.

Palm Springs

It’s the day of her sister’s wedding and maid-of-honour Sarah (Cristin Milioti) would rather be anywhere else. She proceeds to get drunk and flirty with Nyles (Andy Samberg), whose impromptu wedding speech has saved her from having to give one. They wander off and despite Nyles warning her not to follow him, Sarah ventures into a cave after him. There, she’s sucked into a vortex and suddenly wakes up. The wedding day has started all over again. Turns out that she, like Nyles, has fallen victim to a time loop, forced to relive the same day over and over.
