Plot
Outline
He's gonna party like it's 1985.
Robby is stood up at the altar by Linda, who decides that the prospect of
marrying a guy who sings at wedding receptions doesn't equal the attraction she
felt when he was lead singer in a rock band. Robby finds consolation in his
friendship with Julia, a waitress at the wedding receptions and bar mitzvahs
where he performs. Julia asks Robby to help her plan her upcoming wedding to
Glenn, who isn't interested in the details of the ceremony. Robby learns that
Glenn also isn't totally interested in Julia and is marrying her because she
"deserves it" after sticking with him for years and because he knows she's not
marrying him for his money, since she dated him back before he started pulling
down the big bucks...
