Imagine Me & You is a British film written and directed by Ol Parker. It centers on the relationship between Rachel and Luce (Piper Perabo and Lena Headey), who meet on Rachel's wedding day.

The movie takes its title from a line in the song Happy Together.

Story

Rachel is marrying Hector (called Heck, played by Matthew Goode) and Luce has provided the flowers for their ceremony. As Rachel walks to the altar, her gaze meets Luce's. The connection between the two women is instant and intense. When Rachel accidentally loses her wedding ring in the punch at the reception, Luce rolls up her sleeve and plunges her hand in after it. She also makes fast friends with Rachel's younger sister, Beth (nicknamed "H" because her mother exclaimed "Jesus H. Christ!" upon discovering she was pregnant).

Luce is invited to dinner with Rachel, Heck, and Coop, Heck's best friend and a perennial bachelor. Rachel suggests they fix up Luce with Coop, until Luce mentions that she's gay. Heck takes this news in stride and Coop is undeterred in his good-natured attempts to sleep with Luce.

While Heck works long hours at his increasingly unsatisfying job, he encourages Rachel to be friends with Luce. The two spend an evening together, visiting a football match and an arcade (which becomes the setting for a Dance Dance Revolution sequence). At the end of the night, Luce walks Rachel back to her flat. Their goodbye grows awkward from tension, and Rachel tries to kiss Luce. She withdraws at the last moment.

Rachel continues to deny her attraction to Luce in an effort to remain loyal to Heck. For her part, Luce has no wish to break up a committed couple. Rachel even confronts Luce directly about their feelings at Luce's flower shop. She tells Luce that a romance between them cannot happen, leaves, and abruptly returns seconds later to kiss Luce in the back of the shop. They are interrupted by Heck, who has stopped by to pick up flowers for Rachel. He has sensed the distance growing between them and partially blames himself. Hearing this, Rachel sorrowfully informs Luce that she can't betray Heck again. She goes so far as to confess all to Heck, who feigns sleep but later turns to Coop for support. Coop angrily confronts Luce and she decides that being near Rachel without being with her is too hard. She makes plans to go on an extended vacation out of the country, leaving care of her shop to her mother.

Heck loves Rachel too much to abide her deep unhappiness and eventually lets her go so that she can be with Luce. With the help of her parents and Luce's mother, Rachel tracks down Luce as she takes a taxi to the airport. The two reunite in the middle of a crowded London street.
