Even the Best Bridesmaid Gifts Can't Save These Weddings From Disaster
Frankly, we're sick of the best wedding movies. Grab your bridesmaids and get ready for the worst wedding scenes of all time. Whether it's awful toasts, waiting at the alter for a bride that never appears, family drama, or stolen wedding favors, these weddings take the cake for being well.. the worst. We included a few tips so these bad wedding don't happen to you.
old_schoolOld School. Everyone remembers when Frank runs around town butt-naked. But fans rarely remember the opening wedding scene. Vince Vaughn's "don't-do-it" cough during the vows is every bride's worst nightmare. Not to mention the foul-mouthed band at the reception or Mitch's inebriated state, which causes him to spill a drink all over a guest's dress.
The Wedding Singer. Every wedding but the last is a complete disaster. Steve Buschemi wrecks his brother's wedding with a slurred speech in which he states "I'm the best guitar player in the world..." Adam Sandler's character saves the day, only to be left standing at the alter, teary eyed and humiliated at his own wedding. If we had to choose, we'd take the bad best man speech.
My Best Fiend's Wedding. Brides model their weddings after the wedding in this film, but we're not sure why. Sure, the location is beautiful and the movie is single-handedly responsible for the white tent, twinkly lights reception trend, but how did they pull that off in a matter of weeks? Julia Roberts is a scheming Maid of Honor (yeah ... the bride should take back those bridesmaid gifts) and Cameron Diaz is possibly the most annoying bride of all time. There's disaster after disaster during the wedding planning stages. And how many of us, admittedly, wanted him to fall for the curly-haired food critic?
Kill Bill. A barefoot and pregnant bride. A wedding day massacre in a sad little chapel somewhere in Texas. Enough said.
A Guy Thing. A truly awful movie staring Jason Lee and Julia Stiles. Disaster numero uno: Man wakes up to find a strange woman in his bed after his bachelor party. Man later finds out the woman is his uptight fiance's cousin. If the lame plot isn't enough to make you scream, there's the whole wedding to deal with. Cue disaster numero dos. At the alter, two things happen: he leaves his bride and the bride leaves him for his brother. The cheating groom gets a reprieve because the whole time the bride was lusting after someone else. What a great (eye roll) plot twist!
Wedding Crashers. Wedding crashers has a slew of wedding mishaps from nightmarish toasts to uninvited guests. Sure, the antics of Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson are hilarious, but real wedding crashers bring major trouble. How to prevent a wedding crasher? Hire a security guard to stand outside your reception hall or commission a bridesmaid to keep an eye on the loot.
American Wedding. The third movie in the American Pie series shows what happens when you invite Stifler types to formal affairs. Not only does he plan a salacious secret bachelor party (every bride's worst fear) he lusts after the band geek's attractive sister and causes all the flowers to wilt before the wedding. WeddingStand tip: no matter how funny they are, don't let your fiance's idiotic friends stand up with him on the Big Day. And think hard about who you want on your side. Don't give out a bridesmaid cookie card to your Stiffler-eske sorority sister. Reserve your bridesmaid gifts for people who can handle the responsibility.
After watching these bad weddings, you'll be ready for anything that comes your way. In most of these movies, the bride and groom could have avoided wedding day disasters if they picked better bridesmaids and groomsmen.
