My Cousin's Wedding
A twist on the traditional romantic comedy, My Cousin's Wedding follows Gina, the cousin of the groom, the cousin of the groom, as she takes a breather outside the rehearsal dinner and discovers Ashley, a party-crasher who says she's the cousin of the bride. But after a few minutes and an almost make-out session, we discover Ashley's not actually the bride's cousin, but the groom's ex -- and here to win him back. Thus begins a farcical whirlwind of characters entering and exiting, declaring their love, taking it back, and ultimately - making the right choice. Because every decision is the right one, as long as you make it. This is a comedy of errors about the nature of love and impossibility of making decisions.
