22 mins

After an embarrassing, inebriated rehearsal dinner speech followed by a one-night stand with her ex, Maid-of-Honor Evelyn (Kalissa Persaud) is determined to make sure her best friend Nicole’s wedding day goes off without a hitch. However, she accidentally learns of Best Man Patrick’s plan to stop the ceremony to profess his love for Nicole. After knocking out and subduing Patrick, Evelyn enlists her ex (and lovelorn groomsmen) Daniel to help devise a plan to get Patrick removed from the wedding. As hijinks ensue, Evelyn is forced to confront her unresolved feelings for Daniel, feelings she’s been avoiding since unceremoniously ending the relationship months prior.

'Or Forever Hold Your Peace' is screening with:
