Forty years is a long time to be married. Even a marriage that began with hearts and flowers can become a long, tedious row to hoe. Cy and Stevie Dupee are facing this milestone in a few short weeks. The small family dinner they requested has turned into a county-wide extravaganza. Tensions are simmering and the stress is telling. Cy is taking more side trips into the golden past, as mired in daydreams as a tractor in sugar sand. Stevie, on the other hand, has been a bitch on wheels since June, and rightly so; the guest list is a ticking bomb! Besides their crazy children and errant grandchildren, it includes closet tipplers, virgin newlyweds, ancient hippies, a geriatric Romeo and Juliet and Stevie's first husband. Will they make it to the ceremony and dance, or is this going to be the breaking point in their marriage, capped off with the ballroom brawl of the century?
