A fourth-year student Nick Petrov and a second-year student Ann Semenova are going to get married. They both study at the English faculty and live away from home in the Halls of Residence. Their wedding is scheduled for Sunday and their parents are arriving in Moscow on Saturday. Meanwhile Nick and Ann are trying to decide how to celebrate the occasion. Ann wants it to be a "wedding to remember" and is determined to spend a lot of money on clothes, flowers, guests. Nick tries to keep her from making such a fuss and urges her to go to St. Petersburg all the more so as Ann has never been there. Ann's roommate Helen who is also present takes Ann's side as she enjoys parties too. Suddenly the door opens and two people emerge. One of them is Irene Nosova, a friend of
theirs, who is a member of the English speaking club. She has brought along with her Tom/Dorothy Walter, who is an English student on an exchange visit to Moscow. He/she wants to interview Nick and Ann and later write an article on Russian students'marriage.
Soon everybody is absorbed in the conversation, and the students do not only answer Tom’s/Dorothy's numerous questions but also help Nick and Ann to decide how to arrange a wedding reception.
