Countdown to Matrimony: Wedding Movie #25

A Wedding (1978): I try to watch a Robert Altman movie every few years. You have to be in the mood for a meandering tale containing colorful characters--some heartwarming, some awful but all achingly flawed--and next to no plot. This flick details a high society wedding from beginning to end with death, infidelity, interracial romance, torrid romance, secrets, greed, vanity. The cast includes such delights as Lillian Gish, Desi Arnaz, Jr., Mia Farrow, Lauren Hutton, Carol Burnett, and Geraldine Chaplin. Just imagine Dish's wedding x 100. There is hope for mayhem at my nuptials (given how often the wine glasses are filled). Altman has wedding drama down.

Only a few wedding movies left, Dish! Any chance My Big Fat Greek Wedding will make it on the list? I'm sure TG will love it.
And no wedding movie with Julia, yet. Is My Best Friend's Wedding the last one in your list?

It's true. The last few days are going to be filled with wedding movie suspense.
