Four Couples On Marriage Or Not Marriage?
Having a dream wedding is becoming trendy again, preferably with carriage, veil and cameras documenting every step, but most of of all: the perfect scenery. Just like picturesque buildings of the fränkisch Würzburg, a popular backdrop of wedding pictures, for which Frau Stadler and Herr Vogt even arrive from the far-away Berlin. Couple Langer are from the area, planning on celebrating with three opera singers and 350 guests, a grandiose spectacle. The more beautiful the wedding the less likely a divorce?
There are however alternatives to the traditional dream wedding: Henning Dageförde offers a very personal ceremony with his company „Trau-Dich-Agentur“. Margot and Uwe are saying yes in their own home, a ceremony outside the conventions of the church, although not without a white dress and solemn pledge. Connie and Timmie on the other hand, leave their families and friends behind and are breaking all conventions and traditions: a wedding in Las Vegas, where a ceremony is dealt with in only seven minutes. FOUR WEDDINGS AND NO FUNERAL is accompanying the four couples on their different ways to saying yes. Finding a dress, wedding pictures, big plans and hopes and also fears and organizational frailties: the way to a perfect and unique day – and all that in times where over 40% of all marriages end in divorce.
