<P> Alice's father, Reverend Elcott (Ian Wolfe)--the minister the brothers had forgotten to grab when they took the girls--hears baby Hannah cry in the distance, and worries that the baby might belong to one of the kidnapped girls . Elcott asks the girls whose baby he heard, and to not be afraid to tell . They each answer "Mine ." This misinformation serves the women's and the brothers' needs: the townspeople, including the girls' fathers, insist on immediate shotgun weddings, which are performed by Reverend Elcott, while Adam and Milly watch and the fathers stand behind their respective daughters' grooms, guns over their arms . The film ends with the brothers kissing their respective brides in the living room of the Pontipee cabin . </P> <P> The Brothers and their Brides: </P> <Ul> <Li> Howard Keel as Adam and Jane Powell as Milly </Li> <Li> Jeff Richards as Benjamin and Julie Newmar as Dorcas </Li> <Li> Matt Mattox as Caleb and Ruta Kilmonis as Ruth </Li> <Li> Marc Platt as Daniel and Norma Doggett as Martha </Li> <Li> Jacques d'Amboise as Ephraim and Virginia Gibson as Liza </Li> <Li> Tommy Rall as Frank and Betty Carr as Sarah </Li> <Li> Russ Tamblyn as Gideon and Nancy Kilgas as Alice </Li> </Ul> <Li> Howard Keel as Adam and Jane Powell as Milly </Li>
