Carried away by the emotion of the 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, Anne and Tom, and Ellen and John, are in fact married on the royal wedding day.
Tom and Ellen are asked to perform as a dance team in England at the time of Princess Elizabeth's wedding. As brother and sister, each develops a British love interest, Ellen with Lord John Brindale and Tom with dancer Anne Ashmond.

Two decades later, MGM producer Arthur Freed invited Broadway lyricist Alan Jay Lerner (Brigadoon, An American in Paris (1951), My Fair Lady, Gigi) to try his hand at screenwriting. Lerner was inspired by the story of Fred and Adele Astaire, and decided to set his new movie against the backdrop of the royal wedding.
Fun fact: MGM wanted to include actual newsreel footage from the royal wedding in this movie. They attempted to acquire film from Gaumont-British News, but the royal family objected. Instead, MGM was allowed to use clips from the parade and the palace, but nothing that shows the royal couple nor the inside of Westminster Abbey.
