Wedding Singer: 1999.
Every Sunday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Apr 5, 2023 - Jun 3, 2023 at 12:00 am - 12:00 am
we’ve all attended a wedding or two. Which is why we could all relate to the classic movie about a 1980’s wedding singer who finally found a love of his own. By the 1990’s, the wedding singer has had lots of practice and is often called on to sing at the biggest weddings of the year. But what happens when he must sing at, what everyone says will surely be, the wedding of the millennium? Oh, and the millennium bride just happens to be his daughter.
