DALLAS, June 25, 2009 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX/ -- BBI | Quote | Chart | News | PowerRating -- '27 Dresses' Beach Wedding, Reese Witherspoon's 'Sweet Home Alabama' Look

Are Top Picks

As the summer wedding season comes into full bloom, movie lovers have named the movies and celebrities most likely to inspire their own nuptials in a survey on blockbuster.com(R). Topping their selections are Jane and Kevin's beach wedding in "27 Dresses" for Favorite Movie Wedding Look, Reese Witherspoon in "Sweet Home Alabama" as Most Beautiful Movie Bride and Matthew McConaughey in "The Wedding Planner" as Most Gorgeous Groom.

Participants in the survey, conducted this month at www.blockbuster.com, were asked to name which movie wedding look they would most like for their own (plot not included). Close behind top pick "27 Dresses" were Melanie and Andrew's garden nuptials in "Sweet Home Alabama" and Gloria and Jeremy's big church wedding in "Wedding Crashers." Other approaches that had smaller followings were Mary and Massimo's courthouse ceremony in "The Wedding Planner" and Aditi and Hemant's elaborate ceremonies in India in "Monsoon Wedding."

The title of Most Beautiful Movie Bride went to Reese Witherspoon as Melanie in "Sweet Home Alabama," but a close second went to Katherine Heigl as Jane in "27 Dresses." Matthew McConaughey stole Most Gorgeous Groom in his role as Steve in "The Wedding Planner," closely followed by James Marsden as Kevin in "27 Dresses" and Ryan Reynolds as Mark in "The In-Laws."
