Your Character
He is your best friend husband's best friend, and the Best Man at their wedding. At the wedding reception, you can choose to flirt with him and kiss him. The next Monday though, you discover that he is the new CEO of the company you work for and when your boss takes credit for your hard work, you nearly explode. This lands you in hot water, and Best Man not only fires him but fires you as well.

When you decide to take the job as wedding planner for his sister, Nora, and her fiancee, he is surprised and perturbed that you neglected to tell them what had happened at your former job. In Chapter 2, Nora invites him along to the bridal dress shop with you, putting the two of you against each other. If you lose, he will be her wedding planner, which she told you previously that she doesn't want.

Nora
In Chapter 1, Nora teases you for talking to her older brother, Justin. She tells you that she doesn't want him to plan her wedding because he would plan a red carpet event with pyrotechnics. In Chapter 4, he gives you a second chance to redeem yourself by planning Nora's bridal shower. He knows she has wanted it at a specific restaurant that their family use to go to when they were growing up. He will take care of getting her there as long as you take care of everything else. In Chapter 5's premium scene, he says that Monica keeps Nora grounded while Nora brings color to Monica's life, and he had high hopes for them when he was first introduced to Monica.
