Wedding Movie of the Week! Father of the Bride -Ultimate Wedding Comedy

September 18, 2013August 15, 2013 by Dinah

The 1991 adaptation of Father of the Bride starring Steve Martin is on AFI’s top 100 comedies of all time. This does not surprise me. Steve Martin is an American comedy legend, and as longtime readers of this blog know, I adore Martin Short’s performance in the role of Franck, the wedding planner, and have posted before about the film.

I have not seen the Spencer Tracy/Elizabeth Taylor original. I suppose I should. Somehow, I’d rather just sit and watch Steve Martin masterfully portray the simultaneous confusion of losing his little girl, and being inducted into the strange world of weddings. Oh, BTW? The AFI thinks it’s funnier than “The Jerk.” I concur.

Father’s Day brings walking down the aisle to a wedding planner’s mind. But some brides want a non-traditional ceremony entrance. Here are three suggestions for anyone who is looking for aisle traveling companions for their wedding:

Your Mom. She’s been there from the very beginning, loves you like crazy, and will be thrilled to be asked.
Your 2nd Favorite Man. Ranked just below the ring-bearing hunk, chances are there’s an uncle, cousin or best friend in your life that you’d love to have with you on that special stroll.
Your fabulous self! Trust us- you’re going to be radiant, and perfectly capable of coming down that aisle
