A Wedding is a 1978 black comedy directed by Robert Altman, starring Carol Burnett, Lillian Gish, Geraldine Chaplin, Vittorio Gassman, Mia Farrow, Lauren Hutton, Craig Richard Nelson,Pam Dawber, Desi Arnaz, Jr., Paul Dooley, Dennis Christopher, and Howard Duff. The dialogue is humorous, and the story is told in the trademark Altman style, with multiple plots and overlapping dialogue.
The stories unfold in a single day during a lavish wedding that merges a middle-class Southern family with a wealthy one that has connections to organized crime. Capped with a somewhat tragic ending, the film concludes with a cover version of Leonard Cohen's "Bird on a Wire." Cohen's music set the tone for Altman's McCabe and Mrs. Miller

Two men. Two different worlds. One final decision.
One walk will determine her destiny.
A suburban family, all winks and smiles, gets together for a wedding. As champagne flows and the evening evolves, however, the family portrait falls apart. Dad can't help but flirt with the new in-law, and (accidentally?) feeds Mom's dog the wrong pills. Their daughter, in the meantime, alternates between her impotent husband and a dubiously sincere waiter. And the youngest son, who came to the party to ask Dad for money, gets ready all night for the right moment - when Dad can't run around and has to settle down to take a leak. The family portrait that started off with a smile shatters in a burst of bitter laughter. Written by Anonymous
Muffin's wedding to Dino Corelli is to be a big affair. Except the ageing priest isn't too sure of the ceremony, only the families actually turn up as the Corelli Italian connection is suspect, security guards watch the gifts rather over-zealously, and Dino's grandma expires in bed just as the reception starts. Could be quite an occasion. Written by Jeremy Perkins
