Favorite Movies about Weddings

I haven't watched Father of the Bride in years!!! I will be watching it again soon! Thank you for reminding me of the movies existence. For me, I love Bride Wars and Bridesmaids!

I like any movie about a wedding! My favorite is NOT the original Father of The Bride with Spencer Tracy and Elizabeth Taylor, although I enjoy watching it because, by today's standards, it's so ABSURD!! Who decides to get engaged and then casually let it slip at dinner one night. Who doesn't even know what her fiance does for a living!! I find it disturbing though that all that is though of is the wedding itself, not the couple's suitability for eachother, their plans for the present and the future, etc, etc. The absurdity of the whole planning stage is what the movie is about and I do think it's funny, especially seeing all those guests packed into the home and the planner muttering about his "circulation" - great performance by Leo G. Carrol, btw. The remake with Steve Martin and Diane Keaton is actually much better as far as the story - it makes more sense. Runaway Bride and Sweet Home Alabama are cute. I also enjoy TV show episodes about weddings. My faves are when Charlene and her Air Force Colonel get married on Designing Women, and when Max and Fran get married at last on The Nanny. Another one is the I Love Lucy episode, The Marriage License when Lucy thinks their married isn't valid when she finds Ricky's name is misspelled on the license. She makes them go to CT where they were original married and where they honeymooned (I believe the Arnazs actually stayed at the Byram River Beagle Club when they were married). She makes Ricky repeat his proposal and when he teases her by not proposing right away, she gets mad. The go to a local hotel when they run out of gas and she insists they get 2 rooms. Finally the hotel manager and his wife convince them to "get married" and when Lucy dresses in her wedding dress, they are married by the manager, also the Justice of the Peace, with the wife, played by Miss Elizabeth Paterson who is later Mrs. Trumble the babysitter, who sings I Love You Truly.
