Yes. And 90s too. Reminds me of my eldest aunt's wedding. I was a flower girl then and only about 4 years old. And everything was pink. Us girls in the bridal party our dresses were pink lace. Even my uncle's wedding a few years later, where I was also a flower girl, very similar decor, except with gold. So nostalgic for back then
I thought I was the only one who felt like that too. When My Sister got married we invited our Neighbors who felt a little out of place. They were one of the very few White Folks at the Wedding but by the end of the evening they had the time of their life even learning to do The Electric Slide.
Can you imagine how fun it must have been to be a "Extra" in this Movie. Dylan McDermott in my opinion never gets the credit he deserves. He plays Jackson Latree a Lawyer and a well dressed one, then he plays Peter in Party Monster, then of course on The Practice (The Sister Show Of Ally McBeal). I wonder if Daryl Hannah felt if she dodged a bullet by not marrying JFK Jr.
"Looks like two pigs fightin' under a blamket" It's been 34 years since I first heard that line & it still cracks me up. I love Olympia Dukakis' role as Clairee, especially her banter with Ouiser (Shirley MacLaine). Everyone gave a stellar performance in this film, but those two are comedic gold! The funeral/cemetery scene is a roller coaster of emotions.
My favorite color 2 my mom Call me up. God, rest your soul. I miss her every day said brandy. You have to watch this movie. Her favorite colors, pink too love. My mom love this movie. Love the cast forever special.
“Clairee, you know I’d rather walk on my lips than to criticize anybody, *BUT* …” still kills me. Only Dolly Parton could deliver shade like that and still be adorable.
What an amazing lady she is. Can you imagine the Bank she got off of I Will Always Love You. Then Sally Field's performance in Sybil would be the inspiration for Songs From The Big Chair by Tears For Fears because Sybil sat in a Big chair.
Did you hear about how Dolly crashed a Dolly Parton lookalike Contest and walked across the stage and another lady "won". I don't think she's going to do any more TV Movies about her life growing up after what Rick Schroder did with the Domestic Violence issue. Adele did the same thing where she disguised herself as a tribute singer and only after the fact did the ladies know it was her. One was a Drag Queen.😊
This is mine and my mama's movie - she's been watching since she got pregnant with me in 1990, and I've been watching it with her since before I could talk. We quote this movie all the time and never get tired of watching it. My wedding is going to be early 2025 and my bridal shower is gonna be Steel Magnolias theme - blush and bashful, house wine of the South, and the blood-red armadillo groom's cake!
Same here. I'm only 21 but grew up watching this movie with my mom, we love it to pieces and cry every time we watch it. This movie is a classic. Best of luck with your wedding!!! It sounds like it will be absolutely wonderful!!!
You're right about Dolly and Olympia, although my grandmother's sisters came mighty close. West Virgina born and bred, but they could throw shade like the good ladies of Chickasaw Parrish.
They should've added the line where Ouiser snidely remarks "Good! Now take your piece of ass and eat it! If anything "chocolatey" should come out, you're eatin' that too!"

When I was a teenager, I watched this movie over and over and over again. Couldn't get enough of it. Funny enough I knew it was based on a true story back then. What's even funnier, this video was just recommended to me and I have no idea what this film is about. I guess I need to watch it again 😁
Yes its a true story and i believe the minister in the movie was the brother of the sister who lost her life soo sad great movie great cast 4 ever in my heart 1 of my fav4ever
People did have more money and more fun. They weren't on cell phones and interacted irl on top of it. Things started to go bad in the mid 90's and surprise! Here we are today.
In 1981 when Two Characters on The UK Soap Opera Coronation Street got married Ken Barlow (Played By William Roache) and Diedre (Played By The Late Anne Kirkbride) got married, they were married by a UK Celebrity Minister The Reverend Topping. Folks asked if they were really married. They even got more of a viewing audience next to Prince Charles & Princess Diana. Sadly there were to unhappy endings, Diedre "dies" on the show and in real life, while in real life Princess Diana dies as well.
Cameron Diaz's wedding dress in "My Best Friend's Wedding" was also beautiful. Very classic. Julia Roberts also starred in that movie, as the groom's best friend and the bride's maid-of-honor. Her lavender gown was gorgeous.
This is still one of my favorite 80's chick flick and hilarious! My favorite scene where Ousier is still mad at Clairee for the funeral beat down remark and Ousier is sitting in the backyard sulking tells Clairee "your evil and you must be destroyed" 🤣
Remember when Julia Roberts married Lyle Lovett??!! I'll never forget there was this tabloid in the grocery store claiming to have pictures of the wedding and I instantly recognized they had just photoshopped Lyle's face over Dylan McDermott's from where they are standing at the altar together. It was crazy!!
I was about 15 years old when I saw this movie… I thought if I ever got married I’d want to look like Shelby … I’m in my late 40’s… I don’t look like her and I know I’ll never get married
at 4:50 oh my goodness.........that bartender is the lil creep 'Benny' from the movie "The Mummy" starring Brendan Fraser. I was thinking "That's an odd looking dude....ewwww look at his teeth" and the way his voice sounded saying ".........world". Bango! That's when I recognised him and his voice. Benny the creep from "The Mummy". I'm good with faces and voices.
This movie came out when I was either 6 or 7. The most I remembered was the armadillo cake because I wasn't sure if it was a cake or not and that's how I learned about red velvet cake. Basically I'm here for the cake.
This wedding is so 80s I can't even. It's fantastic.
I know
Those Golden 80s 😢
Yes…a vomit of pink! 🤣🤣😵💫 I love this movie!
Yes. And 90s too. Reminds me of my eldest aunt's wedding. I was a flower girl then and only about 4 years old. And everything was pink. Us girls in the bridal party our dresses were pink lace. Even my uncle's wedding a few years later, where I was also a flower girl, very similar decor, except with gold. So nostalgic for back then
Weddings I went to in the 80s lasted for hours, with lots of food, open bar, and a live band for dancing.
it does look a teensy bit like pepto bismal
I love the fact that they were so warm and welcoming to Anelle, including inviting her to the wedding so she didn't feel left out.
I thought I was the only one who felt like that too. When My Sister got married we invited our Neighbors who felt a little out of place. They were one of the very few White Folks at the Wedding but by the end of the evening they had the time of their life even learning to do The Electric Slide.

Also The Beauty Queen's Mother is so toxic. A real stage mother.

I first saw this movie as a child!! Even then Clairee & Ouisa reminded me of my sister & I! Now that we’re actually older… I see I was right! 😂😅
The shade Dolly and Olympia threw was iconic.
"The church looks like its been hosed down with Pepto Bismal."
"I like pink. Pink is my signature color."
My colours are Blush and Bashful
Her color is pink
Ya awful color 😂

Genius
Janice Van Meter, aka the lady dancing without the girdle was played by the late great Nancy Parsons, aka Mrs. Balbricker in "Porky's".
@@TuscanMilkmaid She was such an underrated actress. Even her bit part in this movie was great.
I will never stop being tickled by the fact that this hairdo is considered "wearing my hair down, because Jackson likes it down."
In the South it's "The higher the hair, the closer to Jesus."
Get over it, Mama! 😂
Gravity did not stand a chance against that hairdo.

Nice! Love it ❤
Sounds lovely!
That sounds amazing! I wish you much happiness with your new life

Shirley McClain's face at the beginning never fails to crack me up.
And when she said drum is a boil on the butt of humanity 😂
“That looks like an autopsy.” That line always cracks me up. Shirley M’s deadpan delivery is perfect.
I actually really love Shelby’s dress, with the touches of pink. That was unusual for the time.
Make wedding dresses and bridesmaid dresses beautiful again!
Thee 80s were big on neon colors but they were also real big on pastel colors such as blush and bashful.
The armadillo cake is iconic.
I love it when Ouiser give drum the back end of the cake letting him know what she thinks of him and he just fires right back.
When you're from the deep deep south
I want an armadillo groom cake just like that one
" nothing like a good piece of ass"...😂😂😂😂
😂a bit creepy
6:46 Dolly and Olympia are the Aunties we never had. The shade they threw at Janice Van Meter was iconic.
I haven't left home without Lycra on these thighs since I was 14!😂
Amen to that Bud!
@@6ftsweet You were brought up right.
I still think of those comments seeing what some women wear today out of the house lol
You're right about Dolly and Olympia, although my grandmother's sisters came mighty close. West Virgina born and bred, but they could throw shade like the good ladies of Chickasaw Parrish.
I love the all couples that just go to town on the dance floor and show off their skills.
I love Jambalaya!
Those hats 👒
No one mentions Daryll Hannah in this movie because her character wasn't as strong.
But she was excellent and deserves some recognition
I take it Drumm got hearing problems after the shenanigans with the explosives.😂
Lol bingo😂😂😂
Nothing beats a big southern wedding
"Thanks Ouiser. Nothin like a good piece of ass."
Best line in the whole movie and he delivers it so subtly.
😂😂😂
Tom Skerrit was a national treasure. That's one of my favorite lines too; his line read is hilarious. 😅
They should've added the line where Ouiser snidely remarks "Good! Now take your piece of ass and eat it! If anything "chocolatey" should come out, you're eatin' that too!"
@@tmmastonYou got that line from a comment I wrote on another video of that scene, didn’t ya???? It’s almost word for word! 🤣
One of my most favourite movies ever made. Best cast. Still cry and laugh and cry again. Only recently found out its a true story.
Oh. I never heard that it was based on a true story.

It seems like ppl in 80s had more fun, more money, more energy. Nowadays everyone works non stop, no money, no energy...
But it's not a documentary, not a lot to do with reality.
No. You're right. Things flowed easier
People did have more money and more fun. They weren't on cell phones and interacted irl on top of it. Things started to go bad in the mid 90's and surprise! Here we are today.
You can thank the republican party for that
This is a movie trust me we worked hard complained about inflation and were exhausted
Lovely... Just lovely actress's and actor's... This movie always gets to my heart ❤😂😢
Not a cellphone in sight at the wedding! Bliss😂
The minister who marries them is Robert Harling who wrote the play
I didn’t know wow
I didn't know that! How cool!
Robert was also the brother of the real "Shelby", Susan Harling Robinson.
Well he is the real life Shelby’s brother

This film never gets old, still makes me laugh out loud, one of those rare films where the women get some of the best lines. ❤
It would have been their 34th wedding anniversary this year. How time flies.
The actress who played Jackson’s mother, Mrs. Nelda “Lori” Tate has passed away here in Natchitoches. She was 93. Our hometown Hollywood star ❤❤
Soo very 2 hear of her passing riparadise
I love the wedding scene!
That man and woman could really dance. It was nice to see that.
“That Jackson? He’s one big hangin’ man!” Julia Roberts: “Yes, I know.” ROFL
Still one of my favorite movies.. 💗
The way Truvy mocked Belle Marmillion when Belle talked bout Calories Calories Is hilarious
This movie made me cried 😭
Good old Louisiana wedding 💍 love this
That's the most gorgeous wedding dress I have seen !
Julia Roberts was beautiful !!
Yes. It was beautiful. I am so tired of playboy bunny brides.
Cameron Diaz's wedding dress in "My Best Friend's Wedding" was also beautiful. Very classic. Julia Roberts also starred in that movie, as the groom's best friend and the bride's maid-of-honor. Her lavender gown was gorgeous.
Was???
Julia Roberts still is beautiful
Has anybody else noticed that the caterer behind the table starting at 4:20 is played by the same guy who plays Benny from the first Mummy?
Yes, I noticed him the second time I watched the movie 😊
I knew he looked familiar who would’ve thought 😂
I love this wedding … I miss the 80s
I think those bridesmaid dresses are so much better than the hooker style of today
@@Richard-vq7udI don’t know of any hookers who wear gowns.
What was the best part of the 80s?
@@katieking7231 for me it was the birth of my daughter and the music.
@@katieking7231 lots of things. Brides had dresses that went all the way up and were not playboy bunny brides.
The armadillo cake was awesome
" Thank you, Ouiser. Nothing like a good piece of ass!" Gets me every time 😂
@@nativeskin7819 right... looks so good toi
That looks like an autopsy.
I wish my mother loved me as much as Shelby's mom loves her
Aww I’m sorry to hear.
Gonna send you an internet hug❤
@@ComaLies225 🙏❤️
Looking at the bridesmaids’ dresses, I can hear Chandler saying “I’m sorry, we do not have your sheep” 😅😂
I hear, "They look like a meringue." 🤪😉🙂
My favorite scene when they dance to Jambalaya the couple really danced it well and mastered it.💖👍🤗
Yes. That was really nice.
I love that scene too
I thought it was the Charleston they were dancing. 😂😂
They were actually the film's choreographer's if I'm remembering correctly.
Brilliantly written and preformed by everyone . ❤my favourite movie . Fabulously casting of 5 best female actresses shown throughout the movie❤
Adored this movie. What a cast.
The dad being a whole vibe
"Daddy! It's time! It's tiiiime!"⌚
This is still one of my favorite 80's chick flick and hilarious! My favorite scene where Ousier is still mad at Clairee for the funeral beat down remark and Ousier is sitting in the backyard sulking tells Clairee "your evil and you must be destroyed" 🤣
Drumm is so handsome, a good looking man!
“Nothin lika gud picea ass!” Best line in the movie!!😂😂😂😂
Please pray for Princess Kate who has Cancer. I think of her wedding and how proud her Father Michael was when he gave her away.
Julia Roberts dress very elegant and beautiful in this film.
Her mother n I do!! Lollll
Growing up in the South, most of us knew women like these. 😊
Always liked this scene from this movie, and seeing Olympia in it.
I got daughter watching it when she was in jr high now she’s 21 and still loves watching it with me💕🎀
Love this movie great movie great cast when they take her off the machine i cant watch it breaks my heart
I love, love, love this movie 💗🥰

I don't trust anyone who does their own hair. I don't think it's normal.😂
That church is so pink. I love it.
Well, it was hosed down with pepto-bismol. 😅😂😊
What a fluffy, pink affair. I can only imagine what that must have cost.
Pink is my signature color! Love it.
Sammy always reminds me of Dracula when he made the cherry coke
Or Eddie Munster
Such a happy, simpler time.
😂😂😂😂 ain’t even bother to wear a girdle 😂😂😂😂😂😂 those two was something else 😂😂😂😂
I love this movie so much
I read somewhere the man playing the minister is the one who wrote the play, and it's based on the true story of his sister, Susan.
Yes that is true heartbreaking true story about his sister and yes I believe he was the minister
The way he said her mother and I do always had me laughing. Lol. Rotfl.
Fabolous reminder that marriage is between a man and a woman! 👍🙌
This was an awesome movie. Olivia was hilarious in this movie
Beautiful church wedding decorations. But i think it is pink overload with all the bridesmaids wearing pink. Lol
The 80s ...the bigger the hair the closer to God!!😂😂
" IT'S TIME "
Wish people still wore those kind of sweet, modest dresses nowadays. Miss those more innocent times.
This is the 80s, this isn't sweet and modest, this is over the top and fluffy
@@antithoughtpolice7497 maybe over the top for you but still modest and sweet. Good day.
Tacky as hell.
You can have your clothes made to look however you want.
Me too. I fell in love with those comfy slightly empire waist jumpers, too. I must have made myself at least a dozen of those. 😊
Shelby’s dress was beautiful
Not a single cellphone in sight.
That’s because they didn’t exist yet baby. Fun times, everyone had to turn up to hve a good time back then.
They existed but they were huge.
You're blinded by nostalgia. The past sucks.
@@KernelHughes without the past we wouldn’t have had the future. Nostalgia is only bad when you’re comparing flaws
Love that movie
That wedding dress is beautiful. So sad that Shelby died and she was so young too.
Wait until 80s style returns, including the big hair.
As a saying from a friend who lived in the 80s and had the hair told me. "The hair in the 80s is the reason for the ozone issue'
80’s hair was everything. The bigger, the better.
Watch 2021 Vladiyan Royal Bridal fashion - it definitely makes 2000's and twenteens look outdated.
60s and 80s known Big hairdos.. two eras of big hair....Aqua net made millions 🤑🤑🤑🤑
@@bqkmg2037 it was all a revival of the 1900s "gibson girl" look!

That is what 'extra' looked like in the eighties. Big hair, big bows, big dresses that looked like giant cupcakes.
Ouiser is my spirit animal. 😆
The groom's cake got some laughs.
Love that she gave him the backside of the cake and he just burned her with his comment
The bridesmaids dresses and hat look like the one Rachel had on in friends
The sanctuary looks like it’s been hosed down with pepto bismol !! 😅

“Nothing like a good piece of ass!” Gets me every time…. 😂😅
A missed opportunity for Ouiser to retort "Good! Now take it and eat it! Should anything "chocolatey" should come out, you're eatin' that, too!"

Poking fun at Ouiser’s dog Rhett.
