In Prime Video’s comedy-drama film, ‘You’re Cordially Invited,’ the occasion for celebration turns into a war when two people are pitted against each other to secure the same location. Jim is a single father who has raised his daughter with nothing but love. So, when she decides to get married, he wants the best wedding venue for her, which is the Palmetto House. Similarly, Margot loved her sister, Neve, more than anyone else in the world. So, when she decides to get married, Margot knows that she must give her sister the best wedding in the world. That can only happen at the Palmetto House. When the place is double booked with weddings, Jim and Margot end up at each other’s throats to make sure their loved ones have the best wedding. In the end, however, things take a very unexpected and different turn. SPOILERS AHEAD.
Margot Gets a Surprise in the Mid Credits Scene
At the beginning of ‘You’re Cordially Invited,’ Margot is presented as a lone wolf who has great professional success but doesn’t seem to have had much luck on the romance front. She is not yet married and while this is not a problem to her, it does make her feel a bit removed from everyone else around her as most of the people are married and have kids. Eventually, she meets Jim, and not only does he succeed in charming her, but he also gets the approval of his family, who already seem to be fans of his. So, in the mid-credits scene, when Jim proposes to her, no one is surprised.
By now, a bit of time has passed since the wedding and things have been so well between the couple that Jim is confident she will say yes to her proposal. He even hires Neve’s husband’s dance troupe to celebrate her “yes,” but things turn out very differently. As he gets down on one knee, Margot realizes what is happening, and she tells him not to go forward with it, as he knows she doesn’t have a soft spot for weddings. To him and everyone else on the spot, it seems as if Margot is refusing to marry him. But it’s not exactly like that. It turns out that Margot wants to marry Jim, but she doesn’t want to go through the whole thing of a wedding ceremony. She proposes that they should elope rather than plan the whole thing and do it the conventional way. It is weddings she is opposed to and this is not a revelation.
From the beginning, Margot is presented as a person who prefers to stay away from her family gatherings because they rarely turn out enjoyable. Mostly, there is just drama and tension. While things have taken a turn for the better, Margot still doesn’t want to go through the chaos of all that, especially on her wedding day. So, she wishes to elope, and Jim does not have any objection to that. He is highly supportive of her, which is also displayed in the scene where she screams at her mother to support her statement of not taking the highway when going back home from the wedding. There is a good chance that he will jump on the idea immediately, and while there might not be a wedding in the future, Margot and Jim are getting married for sure.
