Mike Damus (Robert) improvised the wedding vows he rehearses throughout the movie.
The screenwriters are in the movie, Worm Miller as Neil & Pat Casey as Cooper.
Charles Beaumont, Judge Milton's competition in his election, was named after the famous horror and science-fiction writer.
The opening scene at the rehearsal dinner was seven pages and took 90 minutes to shoot with 4 cameras. It was postponed until one of the last days of shooting and due to time constraints, there was just a maximum of two takes per speech. By this point in the production, the actors have gotten to know each other well as they encouraged one other during their speeches.
The script originally ended as Rosemary and Judge Milton walked out the door. So the set and abundance of extras wouldn't go to waste, the wedding scene that followed was added last minute and completely improvised.
