Plot

A gay wedding planner backs out of a promise to organize his brother's nuptials after discovering that his sibling's future father in law is a politician who opposes gay marriage and that the future groom himself supports the conservative fundamentalist agenda. Shel (John Stamos) is a gay party planner. Ben (Eric Dane) is a campaign manager for a right-wing governor (James Brolin) and the soon to be husband of said politico's beautiful daughter (Bonnie Somerville). Though Shel and Ben are brothers, their disparate personal and political beliefs have caused them to clash on more than a couple of occasions. When Shel discovers that the governor is preparing a searing speech against gay marriage, his decision to go on strike for equal rights sends his brother's big day into an unexpected tailspin. Incredibly, Shel's protest gains nationwide support and Ben is forced to hire a tacky, run of the mill wedding planner who doesn't appear prepared to organize such a big event in such a short amount of time. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide

Wedding Wars is a 2006 LGBT romantic comedy film about gay marriage, but also family and politics. It handles a very sensitive emotional issue both lightly and seriously. It stars John Stamos as the lead character, wedding planner Shel, Eric Dane as his brother, James Brolin as the Governor of Maine, Bonnie Somerville as the Governor's daughter, a gay marriage supporter, and Sean Maher as Ted, boyfriend of Shel (Stamos). It premiered on Monday, December 11, 2006 on the A&E Network.

It was well-received by gay audiences and Stamos appeared on the cover of The Advocate to promote the film. Although it is not the first television movie to have gay themes, it is the first about gay marriage.[citation needed] The movie was filmed in Halifax, Nova Scotia.
