Title: 《王老虎抢亲》Tiger Wong snatches the bride (direct translation)
Foolhardy TIGER WONG (Chin Kar Lok) is annoyed with his mother LAU BING TAI (Gigi Wong) for consistently pressuring him to get married. He therefore snatches CHOW MAN BUN (Sammul Chan) who is in female disguise to be his bride and arranges for BUN to stay at his younger sister WONG SAU YING (Nancy Wu)'s chamber for the night. After this, TIGER has no choice but to marry YING to BUN while setting up strict rules to torture BUN in the house. Clever BUN makes use of the chivalrous woman MO SAM LEUNG (So Yuk Wa, Louisa) to control TIGER and misleads LEUNG that TIGER is her long lost rescuer. Using tricks to upset TIGER, he makes TIGER marry LEUNG. Since then, LEUNG tries every means to domesticate her husband and that almost drives him insane. BUN is relieved to escape from TIGER's manipulation but he carelessly causes lots of troubles elsewhere. "A Bride for A Ride" brings you a modern perspective of this traditional tale and you'll surely be surprised with its astonishing approach.

click to show/hide spoilersI did some quick translation of the synopsis:
Poor scholar Chow Man Bun proposed marriage to rich young mistress Wong Sau Ying but was rejected by her mother Madam Wong. Wong Sau Ying have an elder brother Wong Tin Pao, with the nickname 'Tiger Wong'. He got a bad reputation as bully and abducts beautiful women. On new year eve, Chow Man Bun and his friend Chuk Zhi San made a bet that if Bun dressed as a lady to the Lantern Festival, no one will recognize him. As the result, the 'lady' end up being abducted by Tiger Wong. Kidnapped against his will, of course Bun was not willing to 'marry' Tiger. Therefore Tiger kept Bun in his sister's room - creating an opportunity for Bun and Sau Ying instead. The next day, Chuk Zhi San went to Wong manor to look for Bun, and Madam Wong have no choice but to allow her daughter to marry Bun.
Quick note: Chow Man Bun was acted by Marco Ngai in The Legendary 4 Aces (thanks Kidd for informing me). Though I hardly see Marco as a beautiful looking youth, haha.
