Top 10 Must-Watch Wedding Movies

Jean Natividad | Published: Jun 15, 2010 - 7:00am

It's that time of year again, when two become one and single girls and guys get hounded to get hitched.   Blame it all on the Roman goddess Juno, whom the month is named after.    She's supposed to be in charge of unions and all things matrimonial.   To help chase away wedding jitters, SPOT.ph lists 10 must-watch wedding movies.   Some will make you laugh, some will will horrify you, and others will actually help you put things in the right perspective.


1. Kasal, Kasali, Kasalo (2006)

Couplehood: Angie (Judy Ann Santos) and Jed (Ryan Agoncillo) are polar opposites. She comes from a humble home, while he's well-off.

Iffy issues: As Angie and Jed plan their wedding, both their families get way ahead of themselves. Each party wants the wedding to go their way. The clash of the clans escalates and the wedding gets postponed. Though the couple manages to go on with the wedding, married life does not prove to be easy. Angie and Jed have to adjust to each other's habits, good and bad.

Sweet spoiler: While on the verge of giving birth, Angie is still furious at Jed. But when their little boy comes out on the very day of their first anniversary, all hate and hurt are set aside with a promise of a better married life awaiting the couple.

Life lesson: The family ties that bind you may also choke you.


2. Bride Wars (2009)

Couplehood: The perfectionist lawyer, Liv Lerner (Kate Hudson) and sweet school teacher, Emma Allan have been best friends for 20 years. Both are engaged to their respective boyfriends: Liv to Daniel Williams (Steve Howey) and Emma to Fletcher Flemson (Chris Pratt). Together, the two best friends blissfully plan their June weddings at the Plaza Hotel, their dream location.

Iffy issues: Due to an unexpected glitch, Liv and Emma's plans go haywire. Their weddings are booked on the same date and at the same time–and a double-wedding is just not an option. Thus, Liv and Emma launch an all-out war against each other, executing plans to sabotage each other's wedding. While the pre-wedding stress draws Liv and Daniel closer, Emma and Fletcher's relationship turns sour.

Sweet spoiler: On the day of their weddings, both brides grow tired of all the scheming and realize that friendship is bigger than any ideal wedding.

Life lesson: Bridezillas will never be extinct.

    Apparently, Rache has not heard of "Halal" food. LOL

    @rache

    Did I say "pirated video material", I said "Halal digital material provider," "halal" being the operative word, which means, allowed.

    Agree with most of the movies here. I would add Sex And The City I to my own list - Carrie Bradshaw with her botched Vivienne Westwood embellished wedding just leaves an indelible imprint in this cineaste's mind. And I reiterate the blaring question: why isn't My Big Fat Greek Wedding on this list?

    @igeramos: We may act nonchalant and jaded about it, but we all know it just isn't right to condone the patronage of pirated video materials. I hope I won't be dissed for saying this.

    @Tita Aida, thanks for the shout out! I'm sure I'll find a copy here from my favorite Halal digital material provider.

    @anney10, The Wedding banquet is one of Ang Lee's early films. It won the Oscars for best foreign film in the 1990s

    @ igeramos, i highly recommend that you watch Kiss the Bride on Papa's Day. I am not sure if it is available on DVD.

    Wow! The Wedding Banquet is the only movie I haven't watched.

    i LOVED here comes the bride!
  • igeramos Jun 15 2010 @ 10:10pm Report Abuse
    I love the list specially The Hangover, Four Weddings, The Wedding Banquet and My Best Friend's Wedding. I'm always the designated "Rupert" every time a girl friend get's dumped.

    Where's My Big Fat Greek Wedding?
  • Kumiko Mae Jun 15 2010 @ 03:41pm Report Abuse
    who can ever forget my best friend's wedding :D
  • Manne Hathaway Jun 15 2010 @ 02:29pm Report Abuse
    The better Anne Hathaway wedding movie is Rachel Getting Married. Bride Wars falls under the category of fluff and forgettable.

    Kiss the Bride starring Tori Spelling!
