These are challenging times for those whose plans for tying the knot keep unravelling thanks to the Covid crisis.  The best advice right now is to chill out, open a bottle of prosecco and snuggle up on the sofa with your loved one to watch a wedding movie!  We listed ten popular ones a couple of years back - check it out here.  But there are plenty more to choose from.  In this post we offer you ten more that will have you laughing, crying and well entertained for a few hours.

Love Actually

Nine intertwined stories approach the subject of love from very different angles.  Begins with one of the best wedding scenes ever to have been captured on camera but there’s plenty more to enjoy, including a newly elected British prime minister who falls for a young junior staffer, a graphic designer whose devotion to her mentally ill brother complicates her love life, and a married man tempted by his attractive new secretary.

Like Crazy

Great movie for those forced to put love on hold by bureaucratic red tape.  While attending college in Los Angeles Anna from London falls madly in love with Jacob.   When Anna violates the terms of her visa she is compelled to return. Maintaining a long-distance relationship proves hard but no matter how often circumstances pull them apart, they always find themselves back together again.

Table 19

Eloise is relieved of maid of honor duties at her oldest friend’s wedding after being unceremoniously dumped by her fiancé (who also happens to be the best man) via text.  Not the best of starts.  And it all goes downhill from here when she determines to attend the celebration out of loyalty to the bride.  She finds herself seated with five other dysfunctional, emotionally disturbed and socially challenged guests who should have also politely declined the invitation.  Very amusing, very romantic and gives some useful wedding planning pointers (ie mistakes to avoid).

Crazy Rich Asians

Unsuspecting Rachel accompanies her boyfriend to his best friend's wedding in Singapore.  She's shocked to discover that laid back Nick has been keeping a secret from her – his family is outrageously wealthy and he is one of the country's most eligible bachelors.   Unwillingly thrust into the spotlight she has to deal with spiteful socialites, Nick’s offbeat friends and relatives plus a potential mother-in-law from hell who is determined to send our heroine packing.  Things go from bad to worse when Nick’s mother reveals a secret about Rachel which she herself was unaware of.  A classic and hugely enjoyable rom-com that’s an absolute bling fest to boot.

The Proposal

Faced with deportation to her native Canada, high-powered book editor Margaret Tate pressures her hapless assistant, Andrew Paxton, into marrying her in return for a promotion.  He also insists she flies to Alaska to meet his oddball family.  With a suspicious immigration official on their tail the couple must stick to their wedding plan despite numerous mishaps.  Sandra Bullock and Ryan Reynolds make it a lot of fun.

Meet the Parents/Meet the Fockers

Two movies, but two parts of the same story.  Unfortunately named male nurse, meets his girlfriend's parents before proposing, but her suspicious father turns out to be every date's worst nightmare.  Despite a string of disasters our hero successfully wins over Ex-CIA man Jack Byrnes.  In the sequel Jack and his wife travel to Miami to meet their future in-laws and are intrigued to find out what kind of couple would name their son Gaylord M. Focker.  Suffice to say their initial impressions are not encouraging.  But love, as they say, conquers all.  Great cast – Ben Still, Robert DeNiro and Dustin Hoffman, Barbra Streisand and Owen Wilson.

Destination Wedding

Lindsay and Frank, both with a bad attitude to start with, are reluctant guests at the wedding of her ex and his new girlfriend.  Their antipathy is mutually, sparking a downward spiral of jibes, insults and sulkiness.  The hate at first sight formula is a tried and tested one.  They’re obviously made for each other - but just can’t see it.  The sparks fly between Keanu Reeves and Winona Ryder in more ways than one.   

Bachelorette

Three friends are asked to be bridesmaids at a wedding of a woman they used to ridicule back in high school. After ruining the wedding gown, bridesmaids (Kirsten Dunst, Isla Fisher, Lizzy Caplan) set out on a frantic search for a replacement, but their mission degenerates into a night of booze, drugs and nightclubbing.   Snappy, bitchy, and surprisingly enjoyable girls behaving badly romp.

Bride Wars

Two best friends become rivals when they schedule their respective weddings on the same day, at the same venue, using the same wedding planner.  Their inner bridezillas do battle with hilarious consequences.  Competition for dates and venues will be tough when the Covid threat is finally brought under control but let’s hope you never end up in a mess like this!

27 Dresses

Perennial bridesmaid Jane always puts the needs of others before her own, making her the go-to bridesmaid.   27 weddings later her younger sister hooks the man Jane secretly loves herself – Jane’s boss.  Our usually compliant and supportive heroine is now more than a little conflicted.  A situation that’s complicated when she becomes attracted to a handsome reporter who sees her vulnerability as an opportunity to further his own career.

Let’s talk
