Crazy Rich Asians

What It's About: The tale of two people who must overcome cultural and socioeconomic differences to be together. This movie outlines what it's like to have familial disapproval on relationships and being faced with the difficult choice to work through it and (hopefully) overcome all of the obstacles, or to give up on dreams of being together because of too many hurdles just to be happy.
Why You Should Watch It: This movie covers a lot of the highs and lows that come together in a relationship, along with the emotions that come with being surrounded by people who are starting their married lives together. You can see the difference between a surface level and happy-looking marriage, versus what it takes to have a marriage that truly lasts. All of the excitement and activities leading up to the wedding in Singapore are also major wedding planning inspiration! There are some really fun wedding and party scenes in the movie.

Bridesmaids
What It's About: The Bride's girl squad of her besties from different periods in her life all come together to try and make her wedding and the events leading up to it special. This movie shows what happens when people get together who don't necessarily get along and they all have to join and put their biases aside to make the wedding about the Bride again.
Why You Should Watch It: This movie is hilarious! It also illustrates the importance of choosing your bridesmaids very carefully, and making sure they will all get along nicely. Sometimes when we have friends from different periods in our life they are a reflection of all of our "past selves" and they don't always align. No one is the same person that they were when they were in high school. This movie is a metaphor for all of your "past selves" coming together to create a beautiful moment in your life. After watching this comedy, you'll be inspired (if you haven't been already) to find your ride-or-die girls for your special day, and to make sure they all get along. When they all get along, pre-wedding activities will be so much fun!

Why You Should Watch It: There are a few scenes in this movie that perfectly illustrate just how fun weddings can be!
