I really have to say that Mama's Family was at it's finest moment when they got the cast together including the wonderful late Harvey Korman who played bungling Ed, Betty White as snobby Ellen, Carol Burnett as mess Eunice, Vicki Lawrence as Mama Harper, Rue McClanahan as Aunt Fran, Ken Berry as goofy Vint, Dorothy Lyman as Naomi, and Dorothy Van as Aunt Effie. This wedding is full of laughs. This was the first time as a child that I ever saw a family yell at each other on television. The wedding with Vinton and Naomi is sweet but it's the surprise for them in Arizona. Eunice gets upset when Mama gives her daddy's sapphire ring to Vint and Naomi as a wedding present. Eunice is all cheers when she finally convinces Naomi to let her sing, Oh Promise Me. Ellen is in good spirits as her husband has just bought her a new Cadillac Seville. We never see Bruce.

A lot of pictures Mama is dusting

As one has noticed, for the first two seasons, pictures of the family that appear in the opening credits are only of those that actually appear in the episode.
In this episode, there are a lot of pictures because the whole family is there. When there is a big family comes some great problems which brings great comedy. Eunice is unhappy, she wants to sing. She convinces Naomi to let her sing. Eunice is happy, for a whole 5 seconds, which might be a record for her, but I digress. Eunice found out, Mama gave Dady's ring to Naomi. Now Eunice is enraged. She goes to a sofa with a beer to sit during the wedding ceremony, but has trouble finding a spot, with Mama being at one end and her sister being at the other.
Naomi and Victoria exchange their vows, which is halious in itself. Then comes time for Eunice to sing. After throwing insults, including some harsh ones towards Vint and Naomi, a fight breaks out. Her dot of a husband Ed, has to break it up and carry her out.
Then comes the ending. You know the luck, Vint and Naomi have. I will let you take a guess at what happens when they leave for their new home.
One of my favorite episodes of the series.
