It follows the high profile weddings of Ingham chicken siblings Tamie and Johnny to their respective partners, Guillaume Brahimi and Rey Vakili.

Tamie and Guillaume were the first to wed, tying the knot overlooking the Eiffel Tower in Paris, with Johnny and Rey following with a lavish affair at the Four Seasons Hotel in Taormina, where the second season of The White Lotus was filmed.
