Most Merino sheep are shorn prior to the summer, but in keeping with the script Ramsey, the sheep prized by the father of the bride, had to maintain his magnificent Merino pelt.

Director Stephan Elliott is most well known for his comedy-drama film The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert (1994), one of two hit Australian movies released that year, along with Muriel's Wedding (1994). Ironically, the latter is also a wedding comedy like A Few Best Men (2011), though it was much more well-received.
