Do you know what was even funnier? the actor who plays Bunky Lemay is Jeffrey S. Perry, the father of Dr. Meredith Grey of Grey's Anatomy.

One of the publicity story angles for "A Wedding" was the casting of Mark R. Deming. Altman was answering questions at a student gathering in Michigan, and Deming tossed a few questions at him. It made an impression on Altman and later on, while casting this movie, he put out a call for the kid, whose name he didn't know, by describing him and the Michigan event.
