Take the seriousness out of planning a wedding by watching a wedding movie. Always comical, wedding movies show the best and the absolute worst aspects of getting married. TLC counted down the top ten wedding movies of all time – because one wedding movie can’t accurately portray all the twists and turns of wedding bliss.
The number 10 wedding movie on TLC’s list is the 1991 remake of Father of the Bride, starring Steve Martin and Diane Kenton as the bride’s parents, and Martin Short as the wild and flamboyant wedding planner. No man is ever good enough for Daddy’s little girl, and Steve Martin portrays a neurotic father, in true Steve Martin form.
Coming in at number nine is My Best Friend’s Wedding. Julianne Potter (Julia Roberts) decides that she is still in love with her best friend Michael O’Neil (Dermot Mulroney) after he breaks their college-pact to marry each other if they are still single at 28. Michael announces his engagement to Kimberly Wallace (Cameron Diaz) which ignites Julianne’s buried feelings. Hoping to break up the happy couple, Julianne, roped into being Kimberly’s maid of honor, starts scheming. Moral of the story: don’t wait, another woman will grab a good man.
My Big, Fat Greek Wedding makes it to number eight on the best wedding movies list. Starring Nia Vardalos and John Corbert, this movie is full of food and stereotypes, charm and laughs. The Wedding Singer is number seven on the best wedding movie countdown. Robert Hart (Adam Sandler) is a wedding singer who meets Julia (Drew Barrymore). Engaged to other people, romance ensues as the attraction is unavoidable.
A life-long friendship doesn’t mean anything to BFFs Emma Allen (Anne Hathaway) and Liv Lerner (Kate Hudson) in the wedding movie Bride Wars, number 6 on TLC’s list. Double-booked on the same date at the same location, neither will change another date. War is declared, sabotage ensues. Does friendship prevail? Or do these bridezillas destroy New York?
The number five wedding movie is the original 1950s Father of the Bride, starring Spencer Tracy and Joan Bennett. This wedding movie sends a clear message that a wedding is the time to express your feelings to loved ones.
Debra Messing’s character hires gorgeous Dermot Mulroney, a professional escort for company at her sister’s wedding. In an effort to make her ex jealous, Messing’s character falls for Mulroney. The Wedding Date makes it to number four on the list.
Know how to spot uninvited guests by watching the #3 wedding movie, Wedding Crashers. Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson are professional womanizers who crash weddings looking to make a connection with the single ladies.
The romance of Westley and Buttercup is number two on TLC’s best list. Filled with romance, fencing and a lot of kissing, The Princess Bride is a 80s classic. With all the chases, giants and other monsters, this movie has something for the bride and groom.
Finally, the number one wedding movie on TLC’s list is the movie that has every bride dreading her soon-to-be hubby’s bachelor party, The Hangover. Sharing a hotel room with a lion and losing a couple of teeth are not the craziest things to happen to this group of men. This wedding movie makes any real-life wedding circumstances look like a bunny hop.
