Jimmy and Gretchen tell fake love stories to prospective wedding planners as they don't have a traditional love story to tell. Jimmy calls their own story "an ugly, uncomfortable, haunting, and brilliant love story".
Tropes
- The '90s: The fake love story starts in the late part of the decade where the Jimmy and Gretchen stand-ins are a pair of movie loving hipsters.
- Canon Character All Along: The final shot shows that the people used for the Gretchen and Jimmy stand-ins are another married couple that used the wedding planners' services.
- Cyberspace: The Jimmy stand-in goes through this to get to an obscure French director's hidden movie.
