Annie’s life unravels very quickly when she takes on the role of maid of honour for her best friend. What starts off as a well-meaning collection of events for the run up to a wedding, soon turns into a comedy fuelled competition to determine who knows the bride-to-be best. Amazon has lots of wedding in films for you to watch and you can watch this one here.

Ellen’s review: Hilarious and heart-warming, Bridesmaids is a good wedding film to watch for some real laugh out loud moments.

Wedition Hot Tip: To avoid a falling out with your hens, take time to assign a role to each of your bridesmaids so they feel they are playing an active part in your day. Ask your maid of honour to set up a group chat with the other bridesmaids, to take the pressure of organising and questioning away from yourself in the lead up to the hen party and your wedding day. Your hens will be thrilled to see your hen party photos and best bits inside Wedition!
