Church bells are ringing, the choir's singing, and your true love is walking down the aisle. One of the happiest — but most stressful — days of every couple's lives has been great fodder for filmmakers for decades. Whether they're watching Audrey Hepburn's charm and beauty threaten William Holden's nuptials, Andi MacDowell and Hugh Grant attend multiple weddings (and one funeral), or Andy Samberg relive the same ceremony over and over again, viewers young and old alike love to laugh and cry at wedding movies.
These movies' success comes down to flexibility; there are countless narrative possibilities associated with a momentous occasion like a wedding. While we watch a couple commit to until-death-do-us-part, the screen can radiate immense love and joy, or immediate dread and regret. Laughter can fill a banquet hall just as easily as the sound of a jilted lover's tears. So, dust off that tuxedo and puff up that bridesmaid dress,...

It's been 11 years since 27 Dresses was first released, and it's still a staple for romantic comedies. The film follows Jane Nichols (Katherine Heigl), a perpetual "bridesmaid but never a bride," who finds herself in a tricky situation when she has to help plan her sister Tess's (Malin Akerman) wedding to her boss and longtime crush George (Edward Burns). While she eventually gets her own happily ever after with Kevin (James Marsden) at the end of the film, Heigl definitely feels like there is still room to expand on the story even after all these years.
For Entertainment Weekly's romantic comedy-themed issue, the cast reunited to chat all about the film, and Heigl pitched an incredible idea for a potential sequel. "I think it would be awesome to see, seriously, what are their lives like 10 years later? Do they end up together? I personally think they did,." she said about Tess and George's characters.

Wedding photographs often tell the same story – the glowing, gorgeous bride in a gown to die for surrounded by bridesmaids in lesser dresses gallantly grinning through the pain. And in last year’s rom-com 27 Dresses, poor, obliging Jane Nichols (Katherine Heigl) doesn’t put up with just one nasty outfit, not two, but (there’s a clue in the title, people!) 27 atrocious dresses. There’s a Little Bo Peep one, a Gone with the Wind one and an olive-green one that James Marsden’s cynical journalist Kevin dubs “an instrument of torture”. However thankfully, when Jane finally gets to upgrade from being the perpetual bridesmaid to the blushing bride she gets to wear a stunning sleeveless V-neck dress so dazzling that it’s been voted the best movie wedding look in a new poll by Blockbuster.
