Synopsis

It is The Boy's wedding day. Clad in formal attire, he meets his impatient and domineering bride-to-be outside a bridal shop. She is annoyed because The Boy is about a minute late. She buys an enormous amount of last-minute items which The Boy has great difficulty carrying back to her home. A neighbor of his fiancee invites The Boy to his abode to see his large family. The Boy is appalled at how rowdy the family is. Eventually The Boy escapes out a window and informs his fiancee that he has been cured of ever wanting to be a married man.
