Mr. Banks has just learned that one of the young men he has seen occasionally about the house is about to become his son-in-law. His daughter Kay announces the engagement out of nowhere. Mrs. Banks and her sons are happy, but Mr. Banks is in a dither. The groom-to-be, Buckley Dunstan, appears on the scene and Mr. Banks realizes that the engagement is serious. Buckley and Kay don't want a "big" wedding—just a simple affair with a few friends! We soon learn, however, that the "few" friends idea is out. Then trouble really begins. The guest list grows larger each day, a caterer is called in, florists, furniture movers and dressmakers take over, and the Banks household is soon caught in turmoil—not to mention growing debt. When Kay, in a fit of temper, calls off the wedding, everyone's patience snaps. Will Banks allow his daughter to be married off to an “overgrown ham with shoulders”? Can Buckley handle the pressure of more than 30 people staring at him on his wedding day? And can Banks manage to pay for a wedding that would put P.T. Barnum to shame?
