The opening scene introduces the main characters who are preparing for a wedding. Tracey, the bride, is seen in a white robe getting ready. Her mother wears presentable clothes as a housewife. The father is casually dressed and relaxed. Workers at the venue wear pale, similar outfits. Men seen later are dirty and rough-looking, implying a link to the film's title "The Hangover". Tracey receives a call that raises concerns about whether the wedding will happen on time as planned.
