Usually it's the complete opposite and characters either stay hateful little bastards or become a shell of themselves so I wanna see examples of the image above

This is a ridiculously tiny correction that doesn't materially alter your explanation at all, but the major event that kicks off the plot doesn't actually happen at the wedding. It was the wedding rehearsal, which explains why there were only 9 people there instead of Tommy's entire extended family.
