"All we want is a simple wedding," agree Mark and Colleen as they get engaged. And their simple wedding stays simple, for about two minutes. Then the families get involved. There are the McMasters, who think the Frobisher's are a bunch of snooty dudes, and the Frobisher's, who picture the McMasters as a crowd of hillbillies. The bride's father keeps offering the soon-to-be-wed couple thousands of dollars to elope. The bride's mother decides to call in her sister, who becomes a drill sergeant. The groom needs a best man so he enlists his Uncle Josh, who's an old hippie. The bride's kid sister wants the bride's old room, if she can talk Dad out of it, who wants it for a den, if he can talk Mom out of it, who wants it for a quilting room. The two mothers are literally dueling over the rehearsal dinner seating chart while the bride and groom wonder where it all went wrong.

The Festival Playhouse was awarded the 2011 Image Award by the Arvada Chamber of Commerce.
