About

Offbeat fashion student Betsy Hopper and her straight-laced investment-banker fiancé Jake Lovell just want an intimate little wedding reception, but Betsy's father Eddie, a Long Island construction contractor, feels so threatened by Jake's rich WASP parents that he blows the ceremony up into a bank-breaking showpiece, sending his wife Lola into a financial panic.

Family Betrayal and Accusations Unfold
Oscar Henner How could you do that to your husband? I'm your family!
Gloria Henner Oh, you're quite the family man. You were cheating on your wife. You're cheating on your brother-in-law. You're probably cheating on this poor secretary underpaid and overscrewed.
Oscar Henner I don't wanna hear this. This is ridiculous. I don't have to sit around and listen to that kind of talk.
