Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson Crashed This Venue: The Dr Brian McDonough Show
·3 min
The episode begins by noting the approaching 20th anniversary of the film Wedding Crashers, starring Owen Wilson and Vince Vaughn. Dr. Brian McDonough explains he won't discuss the movie plot but focuses on its Maryland filming location. The Wedding Crashers reception scene was filmed at the Inn at Prairie Cabin resort on Maryland's eastern shore. The production featured 500 extras in formal wear, a 20-piece orchestra, and a $5,000 wedding cake at this waterfront location. McDonough suggests listeners visit St. Michael's, Maryland, where the inn is located. He describes St. Michael's as a historic town with buildings dating to the early 1600s. The town served as an early port and shipbuilding center along with nearby Oxford, Maryland. St. Michael's is situated on the Miles River, a tributary to the Chesapeake Bay. The town earned the nickname 'the town that fooled the British' during the War of 1812. Residents reportedly placed lanterns in treetops to misdirect British cannon fire. McDonough acknowledges the historical accuracy might be debated but finds the story interesting. He recommends the Inn at Prairie Cabin as a relaxation destination with enclosed amenities. The resort features a restaurant, pub, and outdoor areas overlooking the Chesapeake tributary. Visitors can go sailing on the Chesapeake Bay, especially during spring and summer. The location includes a spa facility for additional relaxation. McDonough explains why filmmakers chose this location for its elegant backdrop. He concludes by encouraging viewers to like the video and share his show. The episode demonstrates the show's expansion beyond medical topics to include travel and history.
