Effervescent, sexy and fun, this new film from the director of Latter Days tells the tale of a man getting married to a woman and a guest at his wedding -- a man who was his high school lover.

Director C. Jay Cox is back at the festival with this deliciously sexy treat, bringing along with him the gorgeous Steve Sandvoss, (Aaron in Latter Days) who co-stars as a goofy, sort-of straight guy. Matt (Philipp Karner) and Ryan (James O'Shea) were best friends in high school. In fact, they were more than best friends, they were lovers. Matt moved out of town for college, and the two buddies lost touch until ten years later when Matt received Ryan's wedding invitation. For the past ten years, Matt has held a fierce long-distance torch for Ryan, rejecting every man for being just a shadow of what he once had in Ryan. Quite surprised about the invite, Matt attends the wedding with every intention of splitting up the happy couple and reclaiming Ryan for himself. But that all changes when Matt meets Alex (the always wacky Tori Spelling) and he loves the bride-to-be! They bond together through shopping trips, and soon the gossip begins to flow between the new best buddies. Meanwhile, Matt tries to re-kindle the spark with his beloved, but is it still there? The more he hangs out in his old town, the more he sees how much he's missed small-town life and his high school friends and family. As the wedding day rapidly approaches, secrets are revealed and old feelings resurface. Funny and smart, Kiss the Bride treats the issues of love, identity and sexuality the C. Jay Cox way, with a rare intelligence that recalls his now-classic debut. Fans won't want to miss this important East Coast premiere.
