N2  - Kaksi morsianta by Kaarlo Hemmo is a one-act comedic play (farce) written in the early 20th century. Set in a rural household, it plays on gossip, mistaken meanings, and the city–country divide. The likely topic is a comic misunderstanding about a supposed bride that turns out to be a horse, which ultimately clears the way for a sincere young couple to get engaged.

Tailor Antero and his wife Elviira, newly settled in the countryside, hear that their son Toivo is returning from the city “with a bride,” and the whole village buzzes as preparations begin. Interruptions pile up: a frantic pehtori readies teams, the bell-ringer Mikko arrives to defend his daughter Siviä—whom Toivo has been courting—and the flirtatious postmistress Eulaalia dreams of Toivo herself. When Toivo finally appears, the twist is revealed: “Morsian” is the name of a red horse he won in a raffle, not a wife. After the shock and laughter, Toivo openly declares his love for Siviä; prejudices melt, parental blessings are given, Eulaalia storms off, and the play ends with the cheerful wordplay that there are “two brides” now—the fiancée and the horse that will carry her to the wedding.
