Cate was always the bridesmaid-four times in fact. Now that it's finally her turn, problems abound. Moving in together turns into a construction nightmare, her fiance's ex-girlfriend is hanging around way too much, and mom won't stay out of the planning. Lyles (Always the Bridesmaid) has a knack for over-the-top characters and the absurd situations that arise with modern marriage. Sure to be a hit with the June brides.
