The Unfortunate Wedding: or Fat Willy's Rant (Me Being Fat Willy) Martin Kerkhof

The Unfortunate Wedding is a satirical farce about a frustrated, middle-aged crazy businessman, Fat Willy, who convinced he's dying of prostate cancer while on the verge of bankruptcy and divorce, drops everything to the attend the wedding of a long lost friend's daughter in Catalina Island. Motivated by spite against his loathsome old friend, Willy sails there with his reluctant wife in the boat they cannot afford just to flaunt the image of success. Naturally, nothing turns out as he plans. Willy is an obnoxious character who holds nobody and nothing sacred except himself, mocking himself most of all though he doesn't know it. Told as he sees it, the story tears through his past, his marriage, his family and friends, his business, doctors, lawyers, and society at large to reveal a man at war with the world, who, despite himself always seems to succeed and make it right it the end.
