[edit] Plot
After graduating from a special education school, an mentally challenged young woman named Carla Tate falls in love with a mentally challenged man at a polytechnic school named Daniel McMann. But she must try to escape the intentions of her wealthy, overprotective mother who tries to force her into tennis, high culture, radical change of décor in her bedroom, matronly clothing, and other pursuits.
At a social event, "Danny" drinks too much and ends up grabbing the microphone and telling every one at the party about their first time having sex, embarrassing Carla. Daniel is banished from the young girl's life. Carla realizes how much she is still in love with Danny, as he does, and at her older sister's wedding Danny surprises Carla by showing up and asking Carla to marry him.
Every one supports their wishes except for Carla's mother who is unsure that this is the right thing to do. Carla's mother has always been uneasy about Carla doing many things due to her exceptionality. However, she shows up at the wedding anyway and in the end supports Carla's decisions.
