Sandy, the four-times-marriedthree-times-divorced owner of a wedding chapel in Las Vegas, has certainly seen her fair share of matrimonies. In the hilarious “Four Weddings and an Elvis,” we witness four of her funniest: Bev and Stan, who are getting married, by the King himself, as revenge on their exes; Vanessa and Bryce, two arrogant aging stars who are tying the knot as a publicity ploy, and are vexed by an aging Elvis who doesn't know who they are; and Martin and Fiona, a gentle postal worker and a tough ex-con trying to get married before the police arrive. However, the final wedding is the funniest of all: Sandy’s fifth and final wedding which reveals a hilarious twist.
