Out at the Wedding
Alex Houston's little white lies are spinning out of control! After telling her fiancé, Dana, that her entire family is dead, Manhattanite Alex whisks off to her childhood home in South Carolina to serve as her estranged sister Jeannie's bridesmaid. She tries not to steal Jeannie's thunder by telling her family that a) she's engaged, and b) the man she's going to marry is a Jewish African American, but things get a little mixed up. A rumor spreads at the wedding that Alex is gay and Dana is a woman. When her family reacts in a surprisingly supportive way, Alex decides to go with it. It's easier than telling the truth, right? But when Jeannie comes to visit Alex in New York, and the decision is made to hire sexy lesbian Risa to act as Alex's lover, things really start to get out of hand. Smart, funny, and beautifully made, Out At The Wedding explores the sometimes comically bumbling way in which we come out to the people we love – whether gay or straight.
