Doug è un corriere del Queens. Mentre lui desidererebbe soltanto un televisore a 70 pollici, la sua casa è invasa da parenti. Carrie, la moglie, un giorno decide di sorprenderlo e gli sistema un impianto a grande schermo così che Doug possa seguire con gli amici le partite in tv. Le cose cambiano quando Arthur, suo suocero, rimasto vedovo da poco, si insedia a casa Hefferman trasformando la sala tv di Doug nella sua stanza da letto…Ma non basta, anche Sara, sorella di Carrie e aspirante attrice, si trasferisce nella casa…
While cleaning out the Heffernan freezer, Carrie comes across the top tier of her and Doug's wedding cake, and reflects back to the time when they got married. As she takes a trip down memory lane, Carrie remembers her uneasiness prior to their wedding day and her desperation in needing a sign from God to be sure about the marriage. The priest calms Carrie's insecurity by informing her that she and Doug actually met years before when they were kids. Carrie feels that that's a "sign" from above, but Doug later learns that it was Danny, his cousin, whom she met, not him, and is afraid to tell her the truth. Also, Arthur convinces Doug's parents to cover the cost of the wedding, and then proceeds to spend all their money to make the day extra special.
