(from ABC's press release) This fall ABC will present one very, very bad day in someones life -- the day of a young couples wedding -- and the stakes are high. Oh, were not defusing a bomb here. No, its something worse. Like this life and death choice: Should the salad, as the bride prefers, be Caesar or baby lettuce with pear vinaigrette, as hyper-controlling mom would have it? Chaos, tension and, yes, sex, are everywhere throughout this blessed house, while the frantic and flustered wedding planner dodges not bullets but barbs, on the premiere of Big Day, TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 28 (9:00-9:30 p.m., ET), on the ABC Television Network.
