The Happy Wedding Day
Onnellinen hääpäivä
An exuberant comedy about a young man and the disasters that befall him on his way to his own wedding. In the midst of all the adventures, the young man finds time to think over what he is about to do with his life.
In a small country town, a family is preparing for the most important community ritual, the daughter´s wedding, with all appropriate details. In the meantime, the luckless bridegroom-to-be makes his desperate way through air terminals, motorways, corn fields and herds of sheep, from one mishap to another in order to get to the church on time. His meeting with a most unusual country family is the key to the subsequent turn of the story, but it is left to the viewer to pass judgment on the outcome.
The Happy Wedding Day was the third-most watched film on YLE - the Finnish Broadcasting Company´s channels in 1993.
