In The Event the Flower Girl Explodes

--

It's the wedding of the century. Her big brother - the man who was a second father to her after their dad passed - is the groom. And Nicole is fighting just to keep her head above water.

She's surrounded by an aloof bride-to-be, a psychotic mother of the bride, ridiculous bridesmaids, and a town that feels like a parody of Americana. Her own family is perfectly fine with everything - with the exception of her wise-cracking cousin Ella, whose antics only serve to get Nicole even further into trouble. The wedding stress is invading all aspects of her life, including her own relationship. Nicole only wants what's best for her brother - but what if that involves her brother leaving his fiancée at the altar?

As the wedding day approaches and tensions continue to rise, Nicole is forced to figure out what love, loyalty, and honesty mean - before it's too late and she loses everyone she loves.
