His brother sets him up with his wife's cousin Nadia, who is new in town and wants to socialize, but he was warned that if she gets drunk, she loses control and becomes wild.

if I eat this last chocolate?

Sure, Mama.

These are filled with brandy.

You didn't eat this whole box?

I didn't?

Shut up. Shut up!

Dearly beloved...

...we are gathered here

in this beautiful home...

...on this beautiful day...

...to witness the uniting

of two beautiful souls...

...in holy wedlock.

Marriage is a sacred commitment...

...designed on Earth

and sanctified in heaven.

Without the institution

of marriage...

...mankind would still be

in the Dark Ages.

Consider the marriage symbol,

the wedding ring.

A perfect circle,

without beginning or end...

...signifying God's

eternal love and devotion.

For where would we be

without God's love?

Cheap shoes.

You all right, Agnes?

And let us be ever mindful

of the consequences of our acts.

God is watching.

Oh, Lord, she did eat them all.

Have you been drinking?

The time has come...

...for David and Nadia

to make this commitment.

Do you, David,

take Nadia to be your wife?

- I haven't finished. To have and to...

- I do.

- In sickness and health,

till death do you part?

- Do you, Nadia, take David...

- Wait.

Is it indelicate

to ask what's going on?

- I don't love your son.

- Me neither. What's your point?

- Take deep breaths.

- Screw the guests!

- This will take time. Have champagne.

- I know we had a bargain.

- Play some music, and kill the dog!

- Honey...

What's this about a bargain?

People shouldn't marry

because of a bargain.

Would you just...

Come back here and finish this!

Stop the music!

Ladies and gentlemen,

maybe you can help me with this one.

Say two people are gonna be married...

...and one doesn't love the other one.

The other only thinks

he loves the other one...

...because the other one

really loves another.

Are you with me?

If two people don't love each other

should they get married?

There you go.

- If one adored the other one...

- But she didn't love him!

...would die for her,

she'd learn to love him.

But she loves another man

and would always think of him.

- Not if he's dead! Not now, Father!

- Would any of you...

Hold it. Hold it.

The only way to get this resolved

is to take a vote.

All those in favour

of Nadia and David...

...not getting married, say "aye."

Nadia! Get your mouth away from him!

Listen to me! Nadia!

Get your hands off of him!
