The Wedding Day
There are two 18th century plays by this title.
The Wedding Day by Henry Fielding
The original text
It was started as Fielding's third play, but it was not finished until years later and finally brought out on both the stage and in print after his theatrical career ended. After Fielding returned to London from the University of Leyden during the end of 1729, he brought with him a version of The Wedding-Day. It was refused by John Rich to be staged, and it was not produced until 1743 by David Garrick.
