Summary
On the eve of Jordan's 30th birthday on July 1, three days after his marriage to Dinah, he tells his friend Marty he's sworn to Uncle Harvey to remain celibate until this birthday to receive a fortune. Jordan is trying to keep his vow even though Dinah wanted to be a June bride. In a few hours he'll turn 30, Harvey's check will arrive and everything will be fine. Well not quite, because Harvey arrives to deliver the check in person, along with Aunt Bella. A frantic Jordan passes his bewildered bride off as Marty's wife. Dinah's Aunt Iris, a nun, arrives with a wedding gift and thinks Dinah is living with two men. Then Marty's wife shows up. Harvey finds a wedding announcement Jordan has updated to July 1 and thinks Jordan is marrying Ginger on his birthday. Dinah's mother shows up for a housewarming turned into an engagement party for her son in law and his best friend's wife! It's a side splitting, hilarious romp.
