ABOUT THE PRODUCTION

Robin Williams, Mandy Moore and John Krasinski star in the new comedy “License to Wed.” Newly engaged, Ben Murphy (John Krasinski) and Sadie Jones (Mandy Moore) can’t wait to start their life together and live happily ever after. The problem is that Sadie’s family church, St. Augustine’s, is run by Reverend Frank (Robin Williams), who won’t bless Ben and Sadie’s union until they pass his patented, “foolproof” marriage prep course. Consisting of outrageous classes, outlandish homework assignments and some outright invasion of privacy, Reverend Frank’s rigorous curriculum puts Ben and Sadie’s relationship to the test.

Forget happily ever after—do they even have what it takes to make it to the altar?

GETTING DOWN THE AISLE
“To get a driver’s license, you need hours and hours of classroom instruction, a learner’s permit, behind-the-wheel training, and so on. But, to get a marriage license, all you have to do is show up at the courthouse and pay. This gives the bride and groom much more time to focus on the truly important things, like finding the right venue, the best photographer, the hippest DJ...etc.,” director Ken Kwapis smiles. “Who cares if you end up in divorce court a year later as long as the wedding cake was to die for?”
