Synopsis:
In ALWAYS A BRIDESMAID, a JONES HOPE WOOTEN COMEDY comedy, four friends; hopeful romantic Libby Ruth, headstrong Deedra, flashy and high-heeled Monette, and tree-hugging Charlie, have sworn to keep the promise they made on the night of their Senior Prom: to be in each other’s weddings…no matter what. More than thirty years later, these Southern friends-for-life are still making “the long walk” for each other, determined to honor that vow.

Charlie Collins – Late 40s, tree-hugging, Birkenstock-wearing, acerbic Southern free spirit
