The Four Weddings cast invites viewers to the 'wedding of the year' in Comic Relief teaser clip

The short film marks the first time the cast has reunited since 1994

Hugh Grant, Andie MacDowell and the cast of Four Weddings and a Funeral have invited viewers to attend the ‘wedding of the year’ in the first teaser trailer for One Red Nose Day and a Wedding, the Comic Relief sequel to the 1994 film.

The short clip shows Grant and MacDowell reprise their famous roles of Charles and Carrie as they “request the pleasure” of fans’ company to watch the anticipated charity spin-off next month.

The stars are joined in the trailer by Rowan Atkinson, John Hannah, Kristen Scott Thomas and David Haig, who introduce themselves to the camera in character while an instrumental version of Wet Wet Wet’s Love Is All Around plays in the background, as popularised by the original rom-com.

"Please, try not to be late," Grant adds, in a nod to his character's memorably poor time-keeping.

The short film will mark the first time that the iconic cast has reunited since Four Weddings made its debut 25 years ago.

Director Mike Newell has once again helmed the project while screenwriter Richard Curtis has provided the script, which picks up 25 years after the original.

Lily James is set to star as Grant’s daughter, who is now ready to walk down the aisle herself, while Sam Smith is rumoured to be making a cameo as a wedding singer.

The 12-minute special follows the success of Red Nose Day Actually, which aired in 2017 and saw the stars including Grant, Bill Nighy, Liam Neeson and Colin Firth reprise their Love Actually roles.

One Red Nose Day and a Wedding will air on BBC One on March 15 during the Comic Relief telethon.
