Goodfellas (1990)
The Happy Couple: Henry Hill (Ray Liotta) anജd Karen Friedman (Lorraine Bracco).
The Wedding: The ceremony - a nice, quiet Jewish affair. The reception - gaudy as hell, as Henry's Mafia buddies (mostly named Peter or Paul) shove envelopes 🐷full of cash into their hands.
If They Get Divorced: It actually happen♚ed, after 25 years of fraught wedlock, in 1989.
On Her Majestys Secret Service (1969)
The Happy Couple: Ja🀅mes Bond (George Lazenby) and Contessa Teresa ‘Tracy’ Di Vicenz꧃o (Diana Rigg).
The Wedding: A tasteful, sun-▨dappled affair in Corsica, with M swapping espionage stories with Tracy’s criminal dad, and Moneypenny fighting back the tears.
If They Get Divorced: Sadly, the decree absolute comes even before the honeymoon,ꦏ courtesy of Ernst Stavro Blofeld and henchwoman Irma Bunt.
The Lord Of The Rings: The Return Of The King (2003)
The Happy Couple: Aragorn (Viggo Mortensen) and Arwen (Liv Tyler).
The Wedding: Epic like only Middle Earth can make it, with the proverbial cast of thousands. It makes a great ending for the LOTR trilog🀅y. Unfortunately, there are several more endings to follow.
If They Get Divorced: They'd take the c🌠ustody battle literally, 𓄧and raise two massive armies to slug it out.
The Philadelphia Story (1940)
The Happy Couple: Tracy Lord Haven (Katharine Hepburn) and George Kittrꦰedge🐻 (John Howard).
The Wedding: A bit last-minute. When T🔥racy breaks off the engagement because George doesn’t trust her, Macaulay Connor (James Stewart) and then Tracy’s ex-husband CK Dexter Haven (Cary Grant) offer to be the groom. Tracy says yes to Dex.
If They Get Divorced: Unlikely. Tracy an𒁃d CK have been there, done that already.
Muriels Wedding (1994)
The Happy Couple: M🌄uriꦯel Heslop (Toni Collette) and David Van Arkle (Daniel Lapaine).
The Wedding: Impressively realistic, consider🌜ing it’s a sh🐻am. Swimmer David is chasing a visa; ‘Mariel’ (as she’s started to call herself) just wants to get hitched.
If They Get Divorced: Even though they don’t stay together, the matrimony must stand otherwise David won’t be able ♌to compete at the Olympics.
Rachel Getting Married (2008)
The Happy Couple: Rachel (Rosemarie DeWitt๊) and Sydney (Tunde Adebimpe).

The Wedding: Charles’ deaf brother (David Bower) ‘interrupts’ using sign language to p꧅oint out Charles doesn’t love his ꦜbride, at which point she punches him out cold.
If They Get Divorced: Glad to say,ꦉ the wedding’🍎s off, saving on the huge lawyers’ fees when Charles and 'Duckface' inevitably broke up.
The Graduate (1967)
The Happy Couple: Elaine Robinson (Katharine Ross) and Carl Sm🐟ith (Brian Avery).
The Wedding: Aಌll going swimmingly, until Benjamin Braddock (Dustin Hoffman) starts hammering on the glass and lunging at the guests with a crucifix.
If They Get Divorced: The law wouꦜld rule in Carl's favour, gi♐ven that Elaine has scarpered - still in her wedding dress - with Ben.
The Deer Hunter (1978)
The Happy Couple: Steven Push🐟kov (John Savage๊) and Angela Ludhjduravic (Rutanya Alda).
The Wedding: Hour-long, authentic Russian Orthodox wedding. A⭕pparently, the extras drank real booze at the reception, which perhaps explains why the sequence lasts so lꦿong.
If They Get Divorced: Nobody would be surprised. Steven's a paraplegic Vietnam vet; Angela's still🎐 traumatised after believing him to be MIA.
The Godfather (1972)
The Happy Couple: Carlo (Gianni Russo) and Connie Corleo༒ne (Talia Shire).
The Wedding: The full-on Sicilian treatment: swee🧔tness and smiles outside in the sun, favours granted and deals struck in the dark. No other movie quite captures the ups and d⛎owns of the big day.
If They Get Divorced: Nice Mafia families don’t divorce. They bump off the treacherous, wif🍷e-beating hubby by garrotting him in ♉a car.
