Fun With the Bridal Party (French: Le Mariage de Thomas Poirot) was a 1908 French silent comedy film directed by Georges Méliès.
First they rig up the furniture with string; then they hide in the room, inside some big boxes they put in place of the mayor's desk.
When the bridal party arrives for the license, the pranksters go to work, making the chairs and "desk" move of their own accord, foiling the bride's and groom's attempts to sit and the mayor's attempts to write.
The bridal party rushes in surprise out of the office as the joke comes to a successful close.
[3] Fun with the Bridal Party was released by Méliès's Star Film Company and is numbered 1294–1300 in its catalogues.
