, Jane Powell and Fred Astaire in Royal Wedding]]
Brother and sister Tom and Ellen Bowen star in the hit Broadway show Every Night at Seven. They are persuaded to take the show to London, capitalizing on the imminent royal wedding of Princess Elizabeth and Philip Mountbatten. On the ship, Ellen meets and quickly falls in love with the impoverished but well-connected lord John Brindale. While casting the show in London, Tom falls in love with dancer Anne Ashmond and helps her reconcile her estranged parents. He asks his agent to locate Anne's supposed fiancé in Chicago, only to discover that the fiancé is married, so Anne is free to as she likes.
Inspired by the emotion of the royal wedding, the two couples decide that they will also be married that day. Thanks to the resourcefulness of Tom's London agent Edgar Klinger, who knows someone in the archbishop's office who can cut through the official red tape and also has a cooperative minister in his pocket, the couples are married.
