Probably my fave wedding movie ever! And sara, it's nice to see someone else has as much of a soft-spot for SIMAAM. Anyone who hasn't seen those two and likes a good laugh, I highly recommend them both. Oh, Kai Jones, it’s so nice to see someone remembers the awesome Spencer Tracy original of Father of the Bride!

"Father of the Bride" (the Spencer Tracy version), or "The Philadelphia Story" (either Katherine Hepburn or the very watchable Grace Kelly in "High Society")? Or "June Bride," with Bette Davis?

I know my fiance owns a kilt. He claims it doesn't fit properly right now. I tell him to lose weight then (as if I'm ont to talk, though...) And those are all fun movies! Although what I find amazing is that I don't own a single one of the movies in that Love Tickles set. Usually, I seem to own at least one of them. I admit, though: I've never seen all of My Big Fat Greek Wedding. We rented it, and the DVD was damaged, then never got around to renting it again. Hmmm… kilts. I know my fiance owns a kilt.

As an aside, I was going to say that I wish The Beard was a piper, but the truth is I just wish I could get him to wear a kilt! Thanks, Kristin!

I'm a huge fan of So I Married and it's great to see it get the props it deserves! Another bit of trivia--it seems to me that on the old cover for the movie, Harriet was shown with a big axe-shadow behind her, as a complement to Charlie's flowers. Now, obviously, it's not there. Can anyone confirm this? By the way, NtB, I really enjoy your blog (even though I'm just about as far away from the altar as one can get)! Great movies!

He was very put out that they replaced his actual piping with someone else's on the soundtrack. OTOH, the whiskers and the outfit and the leopard-skin pipes? Are all Jack's. Actually, that's one of his more...shall we say restrained piping costumes. Bit of trivia: I know the wedding piper in So I Married an Axe Murderer.
