What happens

Wedding Wars is a 2006 American LGBT romantic comedy television film directed by Jim Fall, written by Stephen Mazur, and starring John Stamos, Eric Dane, Bonnie Somerville, James Brolin and Sean Maher. The film was executive produced by Neil Meron and Craig Zadan. It premiered in the United States on December 11, 2006, on A&E. Stamos portrays gay wedding planner Shel, who is prompted to speak out for his own right to marry when his brother Ben's (Dane) boss and future father-in-law Governor Welling (Brolin) speaks out publicly against gay marriage. Stamos appeared on the cover of the LGBT news magazine The Advocate to promote Wedding Wars. The film was well-received, and it is the first of its kind to explore gay marriage.
