COMEDY
For a sitcom, it creates an odd sort of vibe, following a couple's wedding day with minute-by-minute attention as if it were The Path to 9/11. The series kicks off at 8 a.m., with bride-to-be Alice on the floor of her bedroom, doing abdominal exercises. After a few episodes we're up to 10:31 a.m., when a puff of wind blows away chits of paper the wedding planner has been laying out on a table to figure out the seating arrangements. There are small funny moments along the way, most of them provided by Wendie Malick as the bride's mother, her voice ringing with steel and sarcasm, and Stephen Rannazzisi as the best man, legally blind and left without his contacts after the bride's sister has accidentally swallowed them. Marla Sokoloff and Josh Cooke play the couple who, presumably at season's end, will walk down the aisle to the melody chosen by the groom: the theme from What's Happening!! I wish them luck, but my RSVP will have to say, "With regrets ..."
