From Quiz Fifty Ways to Leave Your Lover

Answer: Linda

Well, one can easily call it "Runaway Bride" syndrome. In the 1998 Adam Sandler film, "The Wedding Singer", the eighties are in full swing. Robbie Hart is about to marry his fiance, Linda, but she leaves him at the altar, claiming that she couldn't go through with it, since he can't leave his steady career as a wedding singer behind. He meets Julia, a newly-engaged waitress (played by Drew Barrymore) who asks for his help in planning her wedding, but along the way the two hit it off quite well. Robbie goes to great extremes to help Julia out and soon discovers that her fiancee, Glenn (whose last name is Gulia), has been cheating on her. This culminates with his sneaking onto a plane where he (along with help from other first-class passengers and Billy Idol) sings a song on his guitar for her and wins her over.

From Quiz When I Hear That Song...Four

Answer: Bud and Sissy's wedding reception

Moving to Pasadena to find work, Bud also found love with Sissy, a woman he met at a bar called Gilley's. They eventually married, and had their wedding reception at the bar. After pictures of the bridal party were taken, and the cake was cut, the pair shared their first dance to "Could I Have This Dance". The song extended to the next scene as Bud presented Sissy with their new mobile home. Bud and Sissy (John Travolta and Debra Winger) weren't married very long before jealousy and cheating caused them to separate, but they ended up reconciling. "Could I Have This Dance" was a number one hit on the US and Canadian country charts for Anne Murray.

Answer: Francois Truffaut

All this just to do a walk-on in a movie that reeked of opportunism. Sheesh!
