Description

It’s a montage of Spring weddings, starting with that of UTV reporter Maurice Smyth and his beautiful bride. The cake is replete with a UTV logo cake-topper!  

Then we have a double wedding, two seaside weddings and an absolute confetti frenzy! Another bride and groom head off in the back of a van, complete with a Michelin Man toy. We see an Ulster Pipers guard of honor, and weddings of all styles.   

Only a sign at the very end of the film might give us a clue why so many weddings – the 5th of April and the UK government’s budget has introduced tax relief for married couples. How romantic!
