Most people think wedding movies are cheesy and mundane but we totally disagree.

More often than not, there are major lessons to be learned. Here are a few of our favourites and we did learn a lot!

1. Wedding Crashers

The movie centres on two divorce mediators who crash weddings in an attempt to meet and seduce bridesmaids.

One major lesson is the importance of having a guest list and controlling the crowd… Regardless of how things turned out in the movie.

2. 27 Dresses

After serving as a bridesmaid 27 times, a young woman wrestles with the idea of standing by her sister’s side as her sibling marries the man she’s secretly in love with… Well apart from affirming that being a consistent bridesmaid is not such a bad thing *winks* just as having the guts to shoot your shot when necessary.

3. Bridesmaids 

The plot followers a lady who suffers a series of misfortunes after being asked to serve as maid of honour for her best friend.

Be careful about what you eat after trying out your wedding dress, in addition, a bachelorette must not always be a raunchy night at the club.

4. Father Of The Bride  

A businessman and owner of an athletic shoe company finds out his daughter is getting married and refuses to give her away. He eventually learns to live with his new son-in-law and realizes that as long as his daughter is happy, he is happy.

Your parents will always miss having you around talk more of letting you go to start a family of your own but it gets better with time.

5. My Best Friend’s Wedding

A woman’s long-time friend reveals he’s engaged, she realizes she truly loves him and sets out to get him, with only days before the wedding.

One thing is certain, this movie affirmed that you should never let an important moment passby.

6. The Wedding Singer

A cool guy with a broken heart who’s stuck in one of the most romantic jobs in the world, a wedding singer. He loses all hope when he is abandoned at the altar by his fiancé. He meets a young woman who reaches out to him to plan her wedding. He falls in love with her and must win her over before she gets married.

Eventually, you will find the person that has 80% of what you’ve ever wanted. You really will… a major lesson.

7. The Wedding Party

The film takes place during the day and evening of the wedding between a 24-year-old art gallery owner who is the only daughter of Bamidele and Tinuade Coker, and an IT entrepreneur who comes from a very wealthy family. His mother, considers her son to be marrying beneath himself.

When it comes to your exes, leave no stone unturned… Ensure relationships are ended properly to avoid any you know, hullabaloo *wide grin*

The Main Reason Behind A Bridal Train You Probably Didn’t Know About

A bridal train is usually made up of the chief bridesmaid, best man, bridesmaids, groomsmen, little groom, little bride, page boy and balloon girls.

Some even go as far as having more than one chief bridesmaid or best man. However, the big question is do we know the significance of having these people tag along you and your spouse on your wedding day?

If you just followed the band wagon and had or intend to have a bridal train… It sure does have its significance in history like almost every other thing.

According to the Roman ritual “confarreatio”, 10 witnesses were required to be present at a wedding while the couple recited sacred verses. Though these witnesses were all men, female attendants did escort the bride to the groom’s home for the ceremony.

Furthermore, the bridesmaids were required to dress just like the bride in order to confuse vengeful spirit presences who might try to harm or sabotage the newlyweds.

Another comes from the Bible, in the time of Jacob’s marriage to Leah and Rachel, each wife brought a female servant to the ceremony. They were literally the bridesmaids.

Groomsmen, however, have a much darker back story. Much of their history revolves around marriages by capture, when a bride was literally captured and abducted from her family.

In some traditions, groomsmen were called Bride’s Knights because they helped carry the bride to the wedding. More like they were taking her from her disapproving relatives to be joined with the man she loved, protecting her from would-be kidnappers.

Time has changed and so has the role of each group on the bridal train.
