Plot
'Happy Wedding' is about Hari (Siju Wilson) love life and his eventual happy wedding. Manu (Sharafudeen) is Hari's cousin brother and close friend. His first college love life with two timing Shahina (Anu Sitara) is portrayed in an environment with his friends Manu, Asha, Tyson, and Pareekutty and their days in an engineering college. His current love interest is a socially outgoing girl Lakshmi who openly flirts with many and shows interested in many. Hari's third infatuation from a bus-trip that turns into a love is the crux of the film. Intervention of a Matrimonial Consultant for handling difficult cases for a prime fee changes Hari's life, which is inspired from 2015 Hollywood film The Wedding Ringer while the rest follows a lingering similarity to Premam, but with a different direction.
