My favorite wedding movie is My Best Friend’s Wedding. It makes me laugh, makes me cry and a whole bunch of other emotions rolled into one movie. That is hard to find!

I absolutely love Father of the Bride–the original is sweet but the Steve Martin version is just the best. He’s so funny and the movie gives a great perspective from the parent’s point of view.

My favorite wedding Magazine is Modern Bride. That magazine above all others has helped me alot with inspiration. The ideas I get from the magazine can be done by someone with a low budget or someone with a high budget. It’s a magazine for all brides. As for my favirite wedding website… Wedding Bee of course;)

I liked the wedding scene from Penelope. Though it is unconventional and they didn’t get married, she chose to say no and follow her heart and learned to love herself so she could be with her one true love. It lets you know it is okay, some brides go through the same thing, but in the end, you find your true love and you live happily ever after.

I am a huge Julia Roberts fan, and My Best Friend’s Wedding did not disappoint. My favorite scene is when they are at the rehearsal dinner, and Rupert Everett starts the sing-a-long to the Dionne Warwick song…Hmmm, maybe I can incorporate that somewhere in the wedding =)

My favorite wedding movie is the 1940 movie “The Philadelphia Story” with Katherine Hepburn, Carey Grant & Jummy Stewart. A close second would be the 1956 musical remake of the movie renamed “High Society”. This one stars another lineup of amazing actors: Bing Crosby, Frank Sinatra & Grace Kelly. I watched them both with my grandmothers so they bring back memories and make me laugh at the same time. I love the scene where Tracy Lord pops her head into the ceremony space and C.K. Dexter Haven prompts her to tell them that there ahs been a change in plans.

My favorite magazine is “Martha Stewart Weddings” and my favorite book is “Real Simple Weddings”.

The day after we got engaged my FH and I were at the movie rental store and he sheepishly picked up Father of the Bride and held it way down by his knee.

We walked around the video store for a good 20 min before I acknowledged that he had something in his hand… what’s that? I asked. And he (in his prideful maniliness) said “oops, I grabbed the wrong one, I meant to get the one next to it..(long pause as I look at him skeptically)..Father of the Pride.. it’s about Lions…”

So, we both laughed and rented it, and thus, his favorite wedding movie (as I later found out) became mine, too.

Martha Stewart Weddings. The ideas in the magazine are very accessible, and very do-able - even for someone (me!) who doesn’t necessarily consider themselves very crafty. There are a lot of great ideas in there that I can try to replicate, or use as a springboard to come up with my own!

If we are talking about nonserious stuff, then Father of the Bride is the best wedding movie. I could watch it over and over again. Love it!

I recently saw 27 Dresses, and even though it’s by no means a classic, I’d say that tops my list of favorite wedding movies right now. As I’m planning my own wedding, it’s nice to see a story that emphasizes how important love is to a wedding. Even if your wedding looks beautiful, and all the perfect details are there, if you’re not in love with the person you’re marrying, your relationship won’t last. (And, James Marsden is hot.)

The Wedding Singer, especially the scene where they try on dresses. Also, I second the vote for Philadelphia Story.

My favorite planner is the Real Simple Weddings.

“The Girls Guide to Getting Hitched”

I got this about a year into our engagement (we’re now on our third:-)), and two years after moving in with him. It was not only a great resource for dealing with all the crap-ola I encountered when merging my entire life with another, it has also been a great resource for the emotions I am experiencing while finally arranging the marriage. You would think after living together and being engaged for so many years that the wedding wouldn’t change much, but this book really made it clear why my emotions and irrationalities have been where they are.

“Wedding Chic” — A close friend sent me this book soon after our engagement. The author breaks down each of the main parts of planning into chapters and shares ideas of how to make it more cost-effective, yet still chic. As a bride on a budget with expensive taste, this book has proven very valuable. I also like that the author shares her own experiences in the planning process. Definitely a great gift for brides-to-be, and an invaluable resource!

My favorite wedding book is actually more of a book about marriage and the status of being a wife. The title is The Meaning of Wife. It’s a great study of how women’s behaviors and emotions change once they become a wife and how the outward world views wives differently than singletons or husbands.

After seeing the remake of Father of the Bride with Steve Martin, I have always thought the idea of waking up to a snowy wedding day was so romantic. I’m not counting on any snow for my upcoming March wedding in Florida, but I still love Father of the Bride. I’ll watch it at home, with my family, the night before my wedding.

The best wedding book I’ve found is “Bridal Bargains.” I love that they get into nitty-gritty details like the quality of different bridesmaids dress designers (i.e. rating their fabrics, craftsmanship, etc). The book offers tips that I found to be different/better than the run of the mill wedding tips.

It’s not really a wedding movie but there is a brief wedding scene in “13 Going on 30″ and I suppose it’s just that entire backyard family vibe that gets me!

My current favorite wedding book is “Off-Beat Bride”. It’s been a great resource and has helped me to remember to think outside the box about different ideas for the wedding. It’s been good to realize that I’m not a total freak for not wanting to do things the “same old way”! What a great find!

My favorite book is a tie between ‘Wedding Chic’ by Nina Wildorf - all of these cost cutting tips and ideas, great breakdown on how to estimate alcohol, etc. and ‘Your Vintage Wedding’ by Nancy Eaton.
My favorite wedding movie is Sense and Sensibility - there is one wedding in it and the whole movie is about love and marriage. One of our readings is from the movie/book - Shakespeare’s sonnet 116.
