Seven Brides for Seven Brothers!

"To-morrow is the joyful day, Audrey; to-morrow will we be / married." (V.iii.72)

    I grew up loving the musical Seven Brides for Seven Brothers (or as my family calls it: SB4SB) because I was raised watching it. It's pretty much the greatest movie/musical ever. It's the movie I watch when I am home sick and I feel like doing absolutely nothing. Here's a quick synopsis: it is based in 1850 Oregon in the backwoods. A backwoodsman who just happens to be the oldest of 7 boys meets and marries Milly - a city girl who is basically a wonder woman when it comes to housework and farmwork. Also, she's gorgeous and has the voice of an angel sliding down a rainbow. So naturally Adam (the eldest of the boys) is drawn to her instantly in this highly realistic movie. By the end of the movie (after multiple ridiculously amazing song and dance numbers), the other 6 brothers have all found wives and they all get married at the same time. Fun fact: the brothers names are Adam, Benjamin, Caleb, Daniel, Ephraim, Frankincense (call him Frank if you don't want him to beat you up), and Gideon Pontipee. It's a strapping group of Bible-named young men.

Unfortunately, I can't find a youtube clip of the wedding scene, so you'll just have to be satisfied with the best dance scene you have ever seen (the second half of the clip is the best because it is when the brothers who are mostly from a ballet company or a gymnastics team show their true talents):

The marriages in "As You Like It:" Rosiland to Orlando, Celia to Oliver, Audrey to Touchstone, and Phebe to Silvius all occur in Act 5, and they complete the essence of the comedy. Apparently, in a tragedy everyone dies, and in a comedy everyone gets married. What a way to live!
