The episode opens on Kitty leading a family pow wow at the Walker mansion. She’s trying to select the music for her wedding only she can’t seem to make up her mind.

May I suggest, the hamster dance? Or perhaps Benny Hill’s theme song?

You know, I don’t imagine that Kitty’s musical sensibilities are all that refined. But still, does she really need her entire family helping her with this project?

Nora enters and she has her own crisis. She’s having a hard time finding a mother of the bride dress.

Nora: You get to be a certain age and they try to de-sex you. I might as well be dressed in beige paper and headed off towards the recycling bin.

Ooh, she’s going to be guest judging on Project Runway? Can’t wait.

You know, I think I figured out the central problem with this show. Most episodes the stakes just aren’t high enough. With a show like Grey’s Anatomy or ER you always have people coming in and dying on the main characters. So it’s a life or death situation every week. But here on Brothers & Sisters we’re limited to more mundane crises. I mean, choosing a wedding song and finding a mother of the bride dress? Seriously. What do they have planned for sweeps? Tommy gets a plantar’s wart?

Oh, sorry. Kvetching a bit. Back to the, err, drama.

Kevin pipes up to recommend “Ol’ Blue Eyes” for wedding music. Kitty nixes that. Turns out McAllister’s first wedding was heavy on the Sinatra music.

Nora: What about that beautiful song by the Dixie Chicks?

Kitty reminds her that McAllister is a Republican presidential candidate. So definitely no Dixie Chicks.

Kevin follows that line of reasoning to its logical conclusion…

Kevin: If you rule out every Democrat you’re basically left with Ted Nugent, Lynnrd Skynnrd, and ZZ Top.

I vote for Ted Nugent. Sure, he’s a second amendment nut job now, but he was sorta hot back in the day.

Speaking of ZZ Top, Sarah shares that she lost her virginity to “She’s Got Legs”, prompting the rest of the family to go all “eww,” and “gross”. I’m not sure what’s offending them. The song, or the thought of Sarah’s long ago hymen break? Neither seem particularly eww-worthy to me.

Still, this starts off a round of, “What song did you lose your virginity to?”

Tommy: Mine was the Dirty Dancing theme.
Kevin. Wow, can you be any gayer?

Kevin, that was weak. Dirty Dancing is simply not that gay. Totally a straight cultural phenom as far as I’m concerned. You should’ve just responded with a loud: “Nobody puts Baby in a corner!” (A line which never fails to get a laugh out of me.)

Sarah asks Justin to name his deflowering theme song, but he refuses to play since Momma Nora is in the room.

Nora: Oh please. Let’s see. Pink Floyd’s “The Wall.” With Gabby Kleiner. 10^th grade.
