Everyone calls it "tradition," but Alex calls it a trap. Her overbearing mother insists the celebration must outshine everyone else's so she can finally recoup decades of checks written to other people's kids - payback by way of a mega-wedding. Cornered in the bathroom where big life decisions actually get made, Alex and Emily trade brutal truths about family pressure, performative pageantry, and the suffocating weight of expectation. Big Day is a sharp, heartfelt comedy about refusing the blowout planned for you and choosing the marriage that's actually yours.
