Review Detail

Eleven-year-old triplets Darby, Dawn and Delaney are not happy that their older sister Lily is marrying the bookwormish Burton instead of her high school sweetheart Alex, because Burton is "the poopiest of nincompoops" and Alex would play games with them. They try to sabotage Lily's wedding in any way they can, including trying to convince Alex to shred the marriage license and convincing him to come to the rehearsal dinner AND the wedding, telling Lily none of the venues she wanted were available, sabotaging the slide show of the couple, and cancelling all of the meat dishes for the rehearsal dinner because Lily is a vegetarian but Burton's overbearing mother wants meat. They soon drag the bridesmaid into the plans, insist of wearing tuxes instead of froofy dresses, and on the day of the wedding itself manage to enlist both their mother and father into helping them save Lily from herself.

Lily is not a bridezilla; she really does want people in her wedding to be happy, letting the girls wear tuxes, the bridesmaids have different styles of dresses, and accommodating Burton's mother as much as possible. The triplets' parents are reasonable. The wedding is held in the house. When I was this age, I went to a TON of weddings, so I can see the appeal. I have 38 cousins on my mother's side, most of them older, so my cousin and I were in charge of the guest book about once a month every summer! We liked to steal decorations off the cakes.
