Here Comes the Bride…War?

My mom, my sister, and I went to see Bride Wars yesterday at the theaters, and the cute comedy totally lived up to its hilarious "preview reputation." 

The two main characters, Liv and Emma, have been best friends ever since childhood, when the pair began to plan their dream weddings at the Plaza Hotel.  Little did they know how their weddings would actually turn out...

Years later, the women get engaged within a week of each other, and the wedding mania begins.  Marion Saint Claire, the legendary wedding planner, appears promising.  However, the two weddings are booked on the same day at the girls' dream venue: the Plaza Hotel.

An insane, funny, and out of control fight breaks out between the brides as each attempts to sabotage the other's big day.

Who will win?  Does one cave in before the other?  Can the lifelong friendship be salvaged?

Check out this great movie in a theater near you soon!   

In 2006, then-editor Steve Smith of The Spokesman-Review had the idea of starting a publication for an often forgotten audience: teenagers. The Vox Box was a continuation of the Vox, an all-student staffed newspaper published by The Spokesman-Review. High school student journalists who staffed the Vox made all content decisions as they learn about the trade of journalism. This blog's mission was to give students an opportunity to publish their voices. The Vox Box and the Vox wrapped up in June 2009, but you can follow former staffers' new blog at http://voxxiez.blogspot.com.
