Jumping right in, here is the last installment of our worst-ever movie moments centered on weddings, beginning with …
4. Margot at the Wedding. The wedding, here, does not even happen. And not to blame it all on Margot (Nicole Kidman), because the marriage may very well have soured days into its conception even if she hadn’t decided to show up for her sister’s wedding, but Margot certainly doesn’t help. The characters’ grim relationships and Margot’s personal lashings out of unhappiness and envy form the dismal back story of this movie.
3. So I Married An Axe Murderer. Everyone actually seemed to be having a grand time at the wedding of Charlie McKenzie (Mike Myers) and Harriet Michaels (Nancy Travis). But isn’t it insult-to-injury to endure bagpipes at your wedding, groping/drunk patrons at the reception and then find out you went through it all only to have married … an axe murderer?
2. 28 Days. Sandra Bullock’s Gwen Cummings attends her sister’s wedding while hung-over, on pills and (as of the reception) drunk again. Her wedding toast is hilarious, but only to those fortunate enough to have skipped attending the event. It famously begins, “Not everyone can be perfect, but at least some of us try,” and goes on from there to delineate her sister’s mindset in marrying her husband, explaining, in front of his family and friends, that her sister Lily (Elizabeth Perkins) came to terms with not getting any younger by deciding “I’ll marry the little sucker!” Gwen's dive into the wedding cake secures this as one of the most cringe-worthy wedding moments in movies.
And speaking of wedding speeches, last but certainly not least:
1. Rachel Getting Married. Anne Hathaway’s Kym gets the chance to come home (from rehab) to attend her sister Rachel’s wedding. When she’s back in the company of family and old acquaintances, she begins to feel a bit out of place. At the rehearsal dinner, she gives a toast. Sort of. More to the point, she takes the opportunity to apologize for her past behavior as part of her 12-step program. While the events do have a somewhat harrowing, not-always-funny aspect to them, better to laugh than cry at poor Rachel’s misfortune. As she tries to get married despite the strained relationship of the whole family given Kym’s presence, Rachel and their mother get into a fight that comes to blows and all means of other family drama unwinds. The moral of the story? Don't let family issues boil away unaddressed, only to surface on your wedding day!
May all these bad movie moments serve the age-old purpose of all things painful to watch: reminding us that it could be worse and, in turn, won’t be that bad so we might as well enjoy the ceremony and have a little fun with it.
