Ahead of Worst Man’s release this August, it is time to meet the cast. Here are some of the unforgettable characters at the heart of this sun-soaked chaos!

Set against a luxury island wedding where nothing goes to plan, the story brings together a wildly entertaining ensemble — each with their own secrets, motives, and complicated ties to the couple. Check out a snapshot of some of the key players.

Meet the wedding party:

• Radcliffe Raleigh–the Worst Man, a charming relationship-ruiner with principles and not enough sleep
• Chris Kafka–the Best Man and best friend of the Groom, a romantic, a fan of control, and a man who desperately wants his friends to have the wedding they deserve
• Battista Lovely–the Groom, an anxious, superstitious man who is as much motivated byfear as love
• Natsuko Nevis–grouchy data broker, as well as Rad’s best friend and occasional accomplice
• Domino McElligott–the Bride, a shy, but kind-hearted, woman very beaten down by her mother
• Valentina McElligott–the mother of the Bride, a controlling and manipulative mother andall-around evil billionaire
• Merritt Tilford-McElligott–the sister of the Bride, and largely estranged from the family thanks to beefing with their mother
• Chester Lovely–the father of the Groom, Dad Vibes given human form
• Francesca Lovely–the mother of the Groom and, possibly more importantly, mother to Templeton Dandelion Meriweather Lovely
• Galatea Tilford–wife to Merritt, supportive to a fault and far too obsessed with true crime podcasts
• Kamilah Kimberlite–the Maid of Honour, thecentre of every stage she’s on
• Rayna Rosales–the other friend of the Bride, almost as good at being a friend as she is a hypochondriac
• Waldo Honeychurch–cousin of the Bride, a well-meaning all-around human disaster
