Back in April, W+K Portland launched a campaign for Booking.com celebrating the lead-up to “Jordan & Chelsea’s Booking Wedding.” Now it appears that Jordan Peele and Chelsea Peretti‘s big day has finally arrived.*
First, though, Jordan parties it up with his buddies at his bachelor party. Keegan-Michael Key and Bobby Lee (who have both starred in previous spots in the campaign) join Peele for the event, which is not your typical bachelor party. Hosted at some kind of medieval-themed hall, things take a turn for the even weirder when Peele complains that he always thought his bachelor party would be a little less G-rated.
In “First Dance” the medieval weirdness extends to the wedding itself. Jordan and Chelsea’s first dance, as it turns out, is performed in full armor. “Thanks to Booking.com everything turned out perfect” the voiceover concludes, “Weird, but perfect.”
And with that, it would appear the long campaign has finally reached its conclusion. (Although it’s possible there’s still a wedding spot to to come). The campaign did indeed feature plenty of weirdness, but given the comedic talents involved, there were disappointingly few laughs.
SPOILER: Chelsea and Jordan got married IRL this April with Dog as their witness.
