Requires: 4MB RAM, VGA graphics, Windows 3.1 or above.
Weddings is a nice game of solitaire where you try to match brides with their grooms (matched pairs). Weddings uses a standard deck of 52 cards. Sixteen cards are dealt face up to form the tableau while the remaining cards are placed to the side forming the stock pile. Cards from the stock pile are used later to fill in the tableau as cards are removed during play. After the cards are dealt, you try to remove as many cards as possible from the tableau by selecting pairs that are of the same rank and either vertical, horizontal, or diagonal neighbors. Spaces left in the tableau are automatically filled in by moving the remaining cards to the left and then up and over to the end of the row above. Cards from the stock pile are then used to fill the holes at the bottom of the tableau. Once the stock pile is exhausted, an "X" will mark the empty spots. Weddings also has a jukebox feature that allows you to listen to various MIDI files as you're playing the match-maker.
