The Best Wedding Break-Up Scenes (Part 1)

In this week’s new release Made of Honor, Patrick Dempsey will attempt to do what Julia Roberts once attempted to do before him: prevent his best friend’s wedding “from the inside”. Hopefully, he’ll be more successful than Julia (she not only failed to prevent the wedding, but couldn’t even score a straight guy to go with her). If he really wants to stop that wedding, here are four movies he should watch for pointers:

1. The Sweetest Thing: Serial heartbreaker Christina (Cameron Diaz) thinks she might have finally found the guy of her dreams when meets Peter (Thomas Jane) at a nightclub- but chickens out when it’s time to seal the deal (because she is a loooooooooser, as anyone who’s seen this movie remembers). A week later, Christina’s best friend Courtney (Christina Applegate) hatches the perfect scheme to bring the two soul mates together- find and crash Peter’s brother Roger’s (Jason Bateman) wedding! The girls manage to find the wedding- only to find out it’s not Roger getting hitched, but Peter. Mortified, Christina makes a hasty exit, but if she could’ve seen what happened next, she probably would’ve wanted to stay around for the rest of the ceremony, and the reception afterwards.

2.Serendipity: In this sweet-as-frozen-hot chocolate fairytale, Jonathan (John Cusack) and Sara (Kate Beckinsale) meet during a fight over the last pair of black cashmere gloves at Bloomingdale’s two nights before Christmas. They spend the rest of the evening flirting, ice skating, and enjoying decadent, overpriced treats at the NYC eatery that shares the movie’s name. Despite their mutual attraction, superstitious Sara decides to leave their future up to fate. She writes her information in a copy of Love in the Time of Cholera, promising to sell it to a used bookstore the next day. He writes his name and phone number on a dollar bill, which she promptly spends. If fate wants them to be together, these objects will find them again. Several years later, Jonathan and Sara are both engaged to other people, but still can’t stop thinking about what might have been. They go to great lengths to find each other, but fate doesn’t give them a break until Jonathan’s fiancée (Bridget Moynahan) gives him a curious gift at their rehearsal dinner. And with the turn of a page, Sara manages to break up a wedding she doesn’t even know is happening.

3. The Wedding Singer: Sweet wedding singer Robbie Hart (Adam Sandler) is in love with his coworker Julia (Drew Barrymore), but can’t tell her because he’s too busy helping her plan her wedding to the obnoxious Glenn (Matthew Glave). Julia finally realizes that she really wants Robbie, but thinks she’s lost her chance after catching him with his ex-fiancée. Devastated, Julia takes off for Vegas to elope with Glenn, but Robbie, with some help from 80s rocker Billy Idol, is hot on her heels to stop the wedding.

4. Kill Bill: How do you stop a wedding when you’re the ruthless leader of the world’s most lethal gang of assassins? When Bill’s beloved Beatrix Kiddo leaves tries to run away from him and her life of violence, he follows her to her wedding with his team in tow, and murders everyone in the chapel. Hell hath no fury like an assassin scorned.
