Noah, a waterproofing specialist, and Zipporah (“Zippy”), a country-pop singer, have known each other for six months. They are in love and determined to marry, despite the many dissuading factors: Zipporah’s skeptical mother, Noah’s unenthusiastic friends, their staggering spiritual ignorance, and their financial instability. On a boys-only fishing trip, Noah breaks the news of his planned marriage to his friends Peter, a wise-cracking Canadian Lit. instructor, and Shane, a quiet, disabused architect. When a record executive dismisses her music, Zippy’s ego is dealt a blow, and her relationship with Noah begins to unravel. Peter and Shane are also experiencing difficulties in their relationships: Shane finds he is jealous of his girlfriend’s success in his chosen career, and Peter leaps into a fling with a student who writes rather stimulating poetry. Incompatibility, competition, transparent transgressions: Last Wedding ends with a second boys-only trip, but this time, no one is waiting at home for any of them.
