It’s especially pleasant to see the “will-they-won’t-they” pair make their public declaration of love and begin their happily-ever-after marriage. Or just to witness the chaos-filled family shenanigans that every wedding eventually involves. Particularly in romantic comedies, everyone enjoys a nice wedding. Here are a few of the best wedding movies to watch.

However, when the wedding occurs at their house and a foreign wedding planner conducts the ceremony, George must learn to accept that people change.
2. Mamma Mia! (2008)

Twenty-year-old Sophie Sheridan resides on a beautiful Greek island with her mother Donna Sheridan. She is getting married soon and wants nothing more than to have her father take her down the aisle and propose to her. Sophie doesn’t know who her father is.

Sophie is certain that she would recognise her father the moment she sees him. But she quickly comes to the realisation that she has no idea.

The same week her provocative younger sister Tess arrives in town, she meets Kevin, a cynical writer who finds her attractive. Jane observes in silence as Tess, a deceitful impostor, manages to win George over. Even worse, Jane might be asked to organise their wedding.

With just five weeks until Christmas Eve, colourful scenes of Cupid’s antics play out as the tales of love-struck boys, secret admirers, philandering husbands, heartbroken authors, widowed fathers, and the Yuletide plight of a desperate, lovesick British Prime Minister intertwine to create a magnificent portrait of love in all its forms. On the other hand, love is almighty, eternal, and supreme.
