10 Movie Weddings That Were More Like The Real Deal

Many people spend years dreaming of their perfect wedding, imagining every detail, and carefully refining each quality. This impulse is easy to understand, as a wedding ideally represents the culmination of one's efforts to find that perfect someone, and an opportunity to celebrate that love with friends and family.
