Mediating cat fights between your mother and the florist, between the gay wedding planner and your fiancé (who claims it was a “manly exchange of opinions”) will tire a woman out. Sometimes you need to do something that is wedding related (and thus to-do list worthy) but doesn’t require brain, brawn, or losing chunks of hair. In that spirit, we have your movie guide for a guaranteed cat-fight free night.
Four Weddings and a Funeral
Quote: “I was promised sex. Everybody said it. You’ll be a bridesmaid, you’ll get sex, you’ll be fighting ‘em off. But not so much as a tongue in sight.”
British comedy at its most delightfully deadpan and Hugh Grant at his most floppy-haired. Bonus: Large men performing the Highland Fling. In skirts.
Runaway Bride
Quote: “You’re a cynical, exploitive, mean-hearted creep who wouldn’t know real love if it bit him in the armpit.”
Commitment-phobe Julia Roberts gets as far as the altar before fleeing – four times. Bonus: Joan Cusack and multiple wedding dresses.
My Big Fat Greek Wedding
Quote: “The only other people we know are Greeks, ’cause Greeks marry Greeks to breed more Greeks, to be loud breeding Greek eaters.”
Toula is Greek. Ian is not. Let the party begin. Bonus: You think your bridesmaid dress is bad.

I have wanted to see My Big Fat Greek Wedding, but never got around to it, I really should see it though.
