THE STORY: The Futrelle Sisters, Frankie, Honey Raye and Twink, are throwing a wedding. Frankie has almost made herself sick with elaborate preparations for her daughter Tina Jo's antebellum-inspired wedding. The Futrelle Sisters have never been strangers to gossip. After all, they did survive the scandalous breakup of their
almost-famous gospel singing trio, The Sermonettes. But Twink's desperate attempts
to get her boyfriend of fifteen-and-one-half years down the aisle, Frankie's ongoing
conversations with their dead mother and Honey Raye's tendency to race to the altar
at every opportunity have kept tongues wagging for years. In spite of her own marital
problems, Frankie has held steadfastly to the hope that she can pull off one "final Futrelle
occasion" with elegance and style with the help of the cantankerous wedding coordinator,
Miss Geneva. But on the day of the nuptials, mass confusion and antics you just wouldn’t
believe.
