He is going to have a nice, quiet time on his own. But someone gives him away. On his wedding day, a stream of nondescript vehicles drive up to his door, motor cars , carriages, a brake of children, and another with a brass band, even a donkey cart brings its complement of guests to the wedding. This, of course, is in response to invitations sent out by Coco's pals. Once inside the house, confusion and chaos ensues, the whole place is upset; the bride and bridegroom are overwhelmed with unwelcome congratulations, and the band plays in the wrong place, making confusion worse confounded. Even when the guests would retire they find that another practical Joke has been played. All the vehicles have been sent away. They all rush back into the house, and another "jolly time" follows. The poor bride faints from exhaustion, Coco does a lot of silly things-takes every course but the right one, and mixes things up pretty considerably. Finally a joker in the party sets fire to some shavings in a room. The building is in flames, and the unlucky bride and bridegroom get drenched with water as they make their escape. Written by
