- A comic take on the issue of gay marriage, "Wedding Wars" asks the question: What would happen if every gay person in America suddenly went on strike? An argument between two brothers inadvertently triggers the strike, and it's up to the siblings to solve their differences before the entire country is shut down in this outrageous comedy that explores gay rights, equal treatment under the law, and what being a brother means.—Anonymous
- Ben Grandy is the campaign manager and head speech writer for Maine Governor Conrad Welling in his current re-election bid. Ben is also the Governor's future son-in-law, now that Maggie Welling has accepted his marriage proposal; the wedding will take place on the grounds of the Governor's lakefront country mansion. Maggie wants to use Ben's brother Shel Grandy as their wedding planner and coordinator; Shel has always wanted his party-planning business to expand into wedding-planning. Shel accepts, although he and Ben have an unspoken strain in their relationship, something that only occurred, and which Shel felt immediately, after coming out to Ben, whose less-than-positive reaction has kept Shel from coming out to their working-class parents, as he fears an even worse reaction. The wedding plans go smoothly until two weeks before the wedding, when the Governor gives a speech written by Ben. One outcome of the speech is that the President, wanting to provide his support for the campaign, decides to attend the wedding. Another outcome is that Shel goes on strike as the wedding planner and coordinator as the crux of the speech positions the Governor as being anti-gay marriage, it solely a political move as he is generally supportive of gay rights. Shel's protest is as a sole person with a picket sign marching outside the Governor's mansion and despite he not being a politically-oriented person, that protest which garners little attention both due to lack of interest as well as actions on Ben's part. Beyond what happens in the dispute which takes an interesting turn with some choice words by the media, Shel and Ben have some interesting bedfellows within their immediate sphere of influence. Maggie wholeheartedly supports Shel's rights against Ben and her father, while state attorney Ted Moore, Shel's boyfriend of two years, had never had to think about marriage before, and he isn't sure he ever wants to do it, with Shel or anyone else. In the end, the dispute could come down to the brothers coming to an understanding in what they are going through regarding their own feelings for each other and sexual orientation as it applies to them.—Huggo
