Planning your wedding can be exhausting. Why not take a well deserved break and enjoy some light hearted wedding movies? Whether it be with your Fiancé, Sister or Father - there's a wedding movie to suit every one of your guests! Here's our pick of the top ten wedding classics.

1. 27 Dresses - After serving as a bridesmaid 27 times, Jane wrestles with the idea of standing by her sister Tess’ side as her sibling marries the man she's secretly in love with.

Staring: Katherine Heigl. Quote of the movie: "Oh, my God. I feel like I found out my favourite love song was written about a sandwich." Watch it with: Your sister (so long as she’s not in love with your husband-to-be!)
