Synopsis
A humorous look at the complexities of friendship. During an ostentatious wedding reception at a Tennessee estate, five reluctant, identically clad bridesmaids hide out in an upstairs bedroom, each with her own reason to avoid the proceedings below. As the afternoon wears on, these five very different women joyously discover a common bond in this wickedly funny, irreverent and touching celebration of the women's spirit.

Characters
Frances, early 20s female, a painfully sweet but sheltered fundamentalist

Meredith, early 20s female, the bride's younger sister, whose precocious rebelliousness masks a dark secret

Trisha, early 30s female, a jaded beauty whose die-hard cynicism about men is called into question

Georgeanne, early 30s female, whose heartbreak over her own failed marriage triggers outrageous behavior

Mindy, mid- to late 30s female, the cheerful, wisecracking lesbian sister of the groom

Tripp, late 20s male, a charming bad-boy usher to whom there is more than meets the eye
