The happiest day of their lives turns into a nightmare for newlyweds Kaśka and Janusz in this chaotic comedy about love, corruption and barrels of vodka. Father of the bride Wiesław Wojnar has one goal: to give his daughter the most memorable wedding in the village. Unfortunately, the Audi he gives his son-in-law as an inducement to marry the pregnant Kaśka turns out to be stolen, her lover arrives uninvited, the band demands the money, and the police, the notary and the priest all have to be bribed before the night is over. Not to mention that the catering is awful, the guests almost drown in vodka, the bride’s grandfather locks himself in the loo and dies of a heart attack, the bride’s mother runs off with her husband’s best friend, a hit man cuts off Wiesław’s finger and someone else steals all his money. The Wedding is a fast-paced, laugh-out loud which took the Polish box-office by strom.
