The Wedding Day
There are two 18th century plays by this title.
The Wedding Day by Henry Fielding
A comedy in five acts.
The original text
Though already written (at least in draft form) when Fielding returned to London from the University of Leyden towards the end of 1729, it was not initially staged, and only produced at the Theatre Royal, Drury Lane in 1743 by David Garrick - though not apparently to great success.
