A home of Charles, however, the situation is different. His father, the accountant Joseph D'Amore (Aldo Fabrizi), it immediately shows strongly opposed to the question, mainly for economic reasons: his work at the Ministry does not allow revenue likely to bear the costs of a wedding and, besides, the man makes it clear to the child that once obtained the diploma, would have to start contributing to household expenses too. The boy, very devoted to her father, then surrender to the wedding, communicating the news to Gabriella and sending on a rampage even her family.

To move the accountant D'Amore will think, however, his wife Teresa (Rina Morelli) that, by showing an old letter to her husband that he had dedicated for his father, at the time, did not want to give his consent to their marriage, convinces him to leave to marry the two lovers. Charles had the consent of his father, he finally meets the knight Cocozza that, despite having agreed with his wife an engagement of three years before the wedding, accepts the request from the young to plan a wedding within the next three months.

For the engagement dinner, you choose a restaurant outside the city, where the Cavalier Cocozza and the accountant D'Amore make mutual understanding.

After a jovial toast the end of lunch, and D'Amore Cocozza appartano you to discuss the details of the wedding. After the initial friendliness, the two are immediately in conflict, especially because of the Cavalier Cocozza who, having delusions of grandeur, wants to organize a wedding very glitzy, saddling almost all the costs of relief (honeymoon apartment and boys) on ragioner D'Amore who, for his part, would not even spend the money to buy a new dress for the ceremony. After exchanging Cocozza (who knows how much in good faith) D'Amore for a former tobacco peddler, both parents break the negotiations, throwing into turmoil the Betrothed.

To bring the conflict between their parents and force them to give their consent to the marriage, Charles and Gabriella then organized a fake elopement, leaving a farewell message to their families. D'Amore gets to know it just as he was asking his boss, the Commendatore Sarda (Luigi Pavese), promotion, and shortly after his arrival at home, receives the visit of the spouses Cocozza, with a lot of aggression Knight against him. When cornered by a phone call their children (who convince their parents to be at the station ready to go), the two fathers give their consent to the marriage and Cocozza can find a way to force D'Amore to shoulder the cost of the apartment the boys.

To live up to the commitment made, since his income does not allow them to better, D'Amore enter into a cooperative building of his ministry, and an apartment closer to the airport of Ciampino and Rome, and invites the future consuocero to view it. Cocozza, however, denies every single thing the new apartment (which in fact is objectively small), creating new surreal situations between the two and the nth quarrel that sends back upstream the wedding. To mend yet another rift between the two, the two families are both believe that the other wants to apologize, combining a meeting between the two at pastry Cocozza. Clarified the misunderstanding, however Cocozza D'Amore offers an apology, as long as the accountant agrees to support the delivery of the "Dove Cocozza" of its production at the Ministry, acting as a guarantor; D'Amore at the beginning refuse not to give satisfaction to the pastry chef, but the same evening, once again thanks to his wife Teresa, the accountant is convinced.

On the Tuesday after Easter, to return to the office, the Commendatore The Sardinian convene Cocozza and D'Amore. They discover that, because of the doves Cocozza, almost all the staff of the ministry is suffering from colic; Cocozza claims the authenticity of the product (actually made with the phantom eggs Bulgarian, arrived by sea, as explained above by the Knight D 'Love) and requires the accountant to try it, even sending him to the hospital, the wedding at this point seem to finally be compromised.

To resolve the situation, Carlo and Gabriella participate, with the help of their mothers, in a TV program about young people today, during which, in front of millions of viewers and their fathers tell their story revealing also news will most likely not true, expecting a child. In front of the national scandal, the two finally agree to marriage sighed.

The day of the wedding, Cocozza and D'Amore notice had been received from the dress tailor each other and are forced to a surreal exchange clothes in a taxi outside the church, which leads them to the nth fight, during which finally Cocozza (which, throughout history, mistakes the accountant for imaginary characters known in the past) remembers the occasion on which he had really known D'Amore (i.e. at the time of the Fascist period, during a parade in Via Empire, where the accountant, head of the fascist militias, called publicly Cocozza during the parade of soldiers).
