Today’s the day. Ryan and Grant, the model of a perfect urban gay couple are getting married. The ceremony is set to be a small affair with only immediate family on the invite list. What could possibly go wrong? The answer isn't everything… it’s everyone, in this dark comedy with a timely message. Five couples, siblings and spouses of the bound-for-the-altar boys, all prepare for the day’s celebration with one thing on their minds: the state of their own relationships. Reflection and a few shattered conversations reveal that true love travels on a gravel road, as we follow these lovers through booze, babies, bulimia and a host of other trappings that beset the modern marriage. Throw in a meddling mother-in-law, a wise-ass street punk, a sexually ambiguous priestess and a bartender with a bad case of verbal diarrhea and you have a wedding list like no other. With everyone present, bodies and stories collide – testing the bonds of matrimony and challenging notions of monogamy as each couple tests their vows. In this age of gay marriage, Everyone humorously examines the pleasures and pitfalls of tying the knot and keeping it tightly bound. – KS
