5 Fictional Weddings Guaranteed To Make You Cry More Than A Royal Wedding

With Meghan Markle's iconic royal wedding to Prince Harry celebrating its one-year anniversary, many are looking back on this special occasion and recalling all the stunning elements of this day. From the elaborately detailed dress to the melodious choir, there is so much to appreciate about an event such as this one. I, myself, clearly remember gluing my eyes to the TV at 4 A.M. (with a cup of coffee in hand,) so I would present for the occasion.

This day was an exciting one for romantics everywhere, but why let the enthusiasm stop there? As a rom-com connoisseur, I know a thing or two about dream weddings. Once the argument between the couple settles down and they realize they are meant for each other (You know how it goes, Hallmark,) an elaborate wedding is quick to follow.

The wedding is sentimental and beautiful and sends all of us running to our Pinterest boards to plan a dream wedding of our own. Lucky for me, movies like this are not sparse. Here are a few of my personal favorite movie weddings perfect for any romantic like me:

1. "The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 1"

This. Wedding.

It is everything any girl could ever want and more! It is classy. The groom is absolutely adorable. The venue looks like a forest Snow White would talk to birds in. It's really just perfect. My friends and I aren't ones to cry during movies, but this scene never fails to fill our eyes with tears and leave us hitting the rewind button so we can live through it just one more time. Whether you are Team Edward or Team Jacob, we can all agree to love this wedding.

2. "The Time Traveler's Wife"

Giphy

In all honesty, this wedding stressed me out more than anything. I just knew Henry would travel on one of the most important days of his life. I knew Claire would be mortified and the whole ceremony would be a disaster. But... that wasn't the case! The moment older Henry swooped in to take present Henry's place, I was a sobbing mess! Sure, he wasn't the Henry Claire expected to see, but he was almost better. This wasn't the Henry who she had recently met. This was the Henry who had already experienced years of his life happily married to Claire. This wedding was not the beginning for him, but a look back at where their life together began. And now I'm crying again...

3. "The Vow"

Another classic wedding scene from Rachel McAdams, the romantic movie queen! This movie is not one of my favorites, but the wedding scene definitely stands out. I mean, weddings vows that mention a preference for red velvet cake? How much better can it get? Also, we all love a sporadic, yet crazy sentimental, wedding. Bonus points for the nontraditional pink dress!

4. "Love Actually"

This scene didn't make me cry, so much as think "awww." Even if the groom didn't plan the surprise, the gesture was still sweet. It may not have gone viral like that awful video of the bridal party dancing down the aisle (After all, the early 2000s were a simpler time,) but it still deserves a spot on this list. Plus, this scene doesn't make me cringe nearly as much as most flash mobs do, or really even at all.

5. "27 Dresses"

"Always a bridesmaid. Never a bride." This entire scene is so sweet. Not only does the main character finally find love at a time when she thought it was never even an option, but everyone she ever stood by on their special day was there for her on her day. She now has a guy there for her, but she also has an entire army of tackily-dressed friends as well. As the only true rom-com on this list, it's worth noting how perfect this wedding was in terms of wrapping up the story. Also, her groom isn't bad to look at...

beer on the beach

Summer is hot and humid, and it's almost like summer was made specifically to drink the refreshing, cold, crisp wonderful, delicious, nutritious nectar of the gods. Which is none other than beer; wonderful cold beer. With summer playing peek-a-boo around the corner while we finish up this semester, it's time to discuss the only important part of summer. And if you haven't already guessed, it's beer. There are few things I take more seriously than my beer, in order are: sports... and beer. Here are my favorite summer brews:

Bruce Springsteen's Top 7 Lyrics

Everything Bruce says in his classic rock songs.

Anyone who was born and raised in New Jersey (or anywhere really) knows of Bruce Springsteen, whether or not they like him is a whole other situation. I hope that his hundreds of classic rock songs and famous high energy performances, even in his sixties he can put on better concerts than people half his age, are at least recognizable to people of all ages. Love him or hate him (I identify with the former) you have to admit that some of his songs and interviews have inspirational quotes and lyrics.

New England Summers Are The BEST Summers

Why you should spend your next summer in New England.

Marconi Beach

Three years ago, I chose to attend college in Philadelphia, approximately 360 miles away from my small town in New Hampshire. I have learned many valuable lessons away from home, and have thoroughly enjoyed my time spent in Pennsylvania. One thing that my experience has taught me, however, is that it is absolutely impossible to beat a New England summer.

You cannot beat the beach. Believe it or not (which many people may not), New England has a long and beautiful coastline. Most of my high school summers were spent sitting on the Wall at Hampton Beach, getting sunburnt and eating Acai bowls from The Secret Spot. The Wall was the place to be both during the day and at night. We begin our days there with a KB's bagel and coffee, and end them with pizza and ice cream. It’s not a New England summer without that 4 p.m. text from someone, “Who wants to meet at the Wall tonight?” Nighttime is for Tripoli’s Pizza, the sound of waves, and wishes on shooting stars. Wednesday nights are especially important, as those are the nights that Hampton Beach sets off the weekly firework display.
