Always a Bridesmaid
Nov 15 @ 7:30 pm
Spartanburg Little Theatre

Four friends made a promise at their senior prom: to be in each other’s weddings, no matter what. Who knew that over thirty years later, they would still be forced to honor that vow? With everything from runaway brides to fistfights, ugly bridesmaid dresses, and multiple trips down the aisle, the perfect wedding seems to elude these loyal ladies. Hop on this marriage-go-round for a laugh-out-loud adventure in sickness and in health as they navigate the choppy waters of love and matrimony.
