Trivia

[Dina Merrill on working with Lillian Gish] Lillian was the nicest mother one could hope to have in "A Wedding." I just wish we could have had scenes together alive instead of dead.

Mia Farrow has only one line in the whole movie.

Goofs

The DVD case / movie poster has Howard Duff's name over the photograph of Vittorio Gassman, who portrays "Luigi". Howard Duff portrays "Dr. Jules Meecham".

Share this

Why would Tracy saying she "missed the wedding" be a goof? The writer could have intended sarcasm, with Tracy knowing full-well that she wasn't invited to the wedding and taking it as a slight.

Share this

When Tracy arrives at the reception she apologizes to Toni for "missing the wedding." It was stated earlier that only family members were invited to the actual ceremony. As Dino's ex-girlfriend, Tracy wouldn't have been expected to attend.
