This short film has several story lines.
STORY ONE : The wedding took place on Flag Day so the bride and groom arrange for each bridal party member to get a flag of their nationality. Of course most of the family and friends were Greek so there was a lot of white and blue. They even got Juan, the photographer a columbian flag but the irony is that Columbia and Greece were playing the world cup that day so of course Nikki the bride commented on that jokingly.
STORY TWO : The gift exchange was unexpected because both of them agreed on no gifts, but of course the both lied. James, the groom secretly swapped out Nikki’s necklace she was going to wear with a new one and Nikki secretly bought James the watch he always wanted.
STORY THREE : James and Nikki always loved Landon Austin’s music. Landon Austin is a famous singer/songwriter from Nashville who agreed to fly out to New York and sing his hit “Once In A Lifetime” for their first dance but his flight was cancelled the night before due to a storm. You’ll have to watch the film to see if he makes it or not.
STORY FOUR : There’s a Greek tradition where the bride writes the names of the unmarried girls on the sole of her wedding shoe. Whichever name is worn off the most at the end of the night is the person who gets married next.
