A Wedding

I can't imagine directing one.

I hadn't been to a wedding in so long and suddenly I can't escape. I blame my niece, the first infant in my life (I was the baby of the family), who up and got married last year making me feel ancient. She seems to have set off a trend. Strangely, three of my five closest girlfriends are getting married back to back to back in the hot months this year: Texas, New York, New Jersey. Will your summer be as matrimonial and festive?

What's your favorite movie wedding?

P.S. Here's a newish Vanity Fair article on the making of The Godfather films, from which I snagged the photo above.
