If you are anything like us, you can’t
get enough of weddings and anything wedding related. So here is
the definitive list of wedding films for you to indulge in over
the next weeks and months. Grab a bottle of your favourite drink,
a box of tissues and a comfy chair to snuggle down in as you feast
your eyes. Some of these are good to watch alone, some with girlfriends
and others with your H2B. Enjoy!
The Best Man (1999)
Chestnut
is getting married and his college buddies are in town for the occasion.
But best man Diggs has written a saucy section of his novel about
a one-night stand with the bride.
Father Of The Bride (1950)
The Spencer Tracy and Elizabeth Taylor original is well-worth
watching and if you are thinking about starting a family soon
after your wedding then you will love Father’s Little Dividend,
which is the sequel.
Father Of The Bride (1992)
Definitely a feel-good Steve Martin comedy with a brilliant cameo
role for the all-embracing wedding co-ordinator.
Four Weddings And A Funeral
(1993)
If any bride-to-be has not watched and wept at this Hugh Grant
classic then you must run to the video shop immediately! Each
of the said weddings is a hilarious lesson in what to avoid for
your own celebrations and there are too many classic moments to
mention.
Honeymoon In Vegas (1992)
Nicholas Cage teams up with Sex in the City star, Sarah Jessica
Parker, for this crazy film about weddings, cold feet and truck-loads
of Elvis impersonators. Great fun.
How To Marry A Millionaire (1953)
Marilyn
Monroe, Betty Grable and Lauren Bacall set out to snare themselves
a rich man… but in true Hollywood tradition realise that
love is what really counts. Hmmm, when you check out your wedding
budget you may be sorely tempted!
Invitation To The Wedding (1982)
Starring Paul Nicholson, Ralph
Richardson and John Gielgud, this romantic comedy is all about what
happens when the groom’s best friend falls in love with the
bride.
Muriel’s Wedding (1994)
Who wants more from a film… Abba and weddings. This Aussie
hit is off-beat but a great night in.
My Best Friend’s Wedding
(1997)
Commitment-shy Julia Robert squares-up to sweet-as-pie Cameron
Diaz in this fun romantic comedy.
The Runaway Bride (1999)
Another Julia Roberts wedding film but this time she is the bride
who has left various suitors stranded at the altar. Cue Richard
Gere in their first collaboration since Pretty Woman.
A wonderful musical with some amazing choreography and memorable
songs. A definite Sunday afternoon candidate.
The Wedding (1997)
Halle Berry stars in this epic mini-series from Oprah Winfrey’s
Harpo Films. Love, duty, mixed heritages and weddings combine
in this heart-breaking drama.
A young Robert De Niro stars in this film about the confusion
at the Wedding Party for Josephine and Charlie. Re-released in 1997.
The Wedding Singer (1998)
An hilarious cast including Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore, this
is a must-see for any bride or groom-to-be, even if you just want
a good ole Eighties singalong. Even stars Billy Idol as himself.
Friends
'The One With Ross' Wedding' and 'The One After Ross Says Rachel'
are absolute classics – but not for those worried that they
are marrying the wrong guy (or girl)!
The Neighbours Wedding Collection
Would you believe it, you can actually find the video to watch
Daphne and Des, Madge and Harold and Charlene and Scott tie the
knot. How did we live without it?!
The Royle Family (Series 1)
This hysterical view on British family life culminates in Caroline
Aherne’s wedding. Great parodies on the roles of MOB, FOB,
groom, bridesmaid and B2B.
