Why you say I'm lying?
I agree. My dates always cry on this wedding scene!

You may ask me why I chose this frame from this film.
I found it curious that the family was watching “It's a Wonderful Life” dubbed in Spanish while on holiday in Florida. This contrasts with today's times, when immigrants are deported and democracy is destroyed by values that “It's a Wonderful Life” denounced as fragile but yet, essential for everyone. Not only in this festive season, but every day of the year.
A frame within a frame, I thought this would be, although unusual, the most pertinent film frame for this festive season. Happy Holidays!
Already a xmas classic for me to watch it every year!
Before this frame, both of main characters are inside of a car. One of the main characters honks the horn, angry by the car traffic, the one honking the horn, thinks his sister is holding another protest/demonstration. There's normal friends conversations in the middle of this...
Then, the narrator says:
There were three demonstrations across the city that day. But the traffic jam holding them up had been caused by Marcelino Escutia, a migrant bricklayer from Michoacán. Marcelino had been hit by a speeding bus. He never used the pedestrian bridge, because it's poor location meant walking an extra mile and a half (2km) to his work site. His unidentified body was taken to the city morgue, where it went unclaimed for four days.
This reminded me of a song by Chico Buarque, called 'Construção' and a verse in that song; "Morreu na contramão atrapalhando o público" = "He died in the wrong lane, obstructing the public (aka the car traffic).". That song has too many layers to discover in this case, but I think the meaning was the same.
