Charles thinks he's found 'Miss Right' in Carrie an American. The comedy revolves around Charles and the four weddings and a funeral they attend.

LOCATIONS
Newell sets the location for much of his filming of ‘the weddings’ and ‘the funeral’ in outer London and in particular the counties of Surrey and Essex. Two weddings, for example, are shot in the county of Surrey at St Michael’s Church Betchworth and the Church of St Peter and St Paul at Albury. Other weddings take place in central London. These include at the Royal Naval College Chapel located in the London Borough of Greenwich and the Priory Church of St Bartholomew the Great in the London Borough of Westminster. The funeral featured in the film is shot at St Clements Church, West Thurrock in the outer London County of Kent.
