The Futrelle Sisters, Frankie, Honey Raye and Twink, are planning a wedding. Frankie has almost made herself sick with elaborate preparations for her daughter Tina Jo’s antebellum-inspired wedding, and the rumor mill in their small town of Fayro, Texas, is working overtime. No surprise there – the Futrelle Sisters have never been strangers to gossip. After all, they did survive the scandalous breakup of their almost-famous gospel singing trio, The Sermonettes. But Twink’s desperate attempts to get her boyfriend of 15.5 years down the aisle, Frankie’s ongoing conversations with their dead mother and Honey Raye’s tendency to race to the altar at every opportunity have kept tongues wagging for years. With a cantankerous wedding coordinator, a wedding dinner catered by Clovis Sanford’s House of Meat and a runaway bride and groom, will the Futrelle Sisters be able to pull this off?
