Marge and Homer visit Ned and Edna at the hospital, and find out that they wanted to keep the marriage secret because everyone would have made a big deal about it, the hospital room is soon visited by the inhabitants of Springfield who congratulate the new couple, but Ned and Edna throw them all out, even Homer and Marge. Ned is at home with Edna, when Homer and Marge come to reveal that they will arrange a wedding party for their honor. Ned is skeptical, but Edna tells him that she would love to have one.
