Synopsis
Here Comes the Groom tells a story of five young women getting ready for the protagonist’s imminent wedding. The bride, out of the sheer blue, informed three of her best girlfriends that she was about to get married. On the wedding day, though all having butterflies in their stomaches, the three young women, one after another, turned up at the bride’s apartment. Before the groom’s appearance, the four young women and the bride’s help developed a little drama first. It turned out that everyone had a skeleton in her closet that she wanted to hide from the rest. Inside the apartment, the women are anxious but also afraid of the approaching “invader.” Is the situation a metaphor for the whole generation of educated young women? Are they anticipating a happy climax or a total disaster?
