There’s nothing like that just-engaged glow. You’re popping champagne, staring at your ring every five minutes, and trying to figure out how to casually drop "my fiancé" into every conversation. While you’re soaking it all in, why not queue up some swoon-worthy movies to keep the lovefest going? Whether you’re snuggled up with your fiancé or having a "we’re engaged!" movie night with your crew, these picks will keep those heart-eyes going strong.
1. When Harry Met Sally
This one is a must. It’s funny, it’s real, and it’s proof that sometimes the best love stories take a while to marinate. Plus, it’ll give you some great lines to quote for the rest of your lives.
Best watched with: A cozy blanket and your favorite takeout—bonus points if it’s diner food.
2. The Notebook
Listen, we all know this one. Noah and Allie’s love story is like the gold standard for "I’d do anything for you" romance—even if it’s a little over the top. Prepare for tears.
Best watched with: A box of tissues and whatever dessert makes you happiest (because you’ll need it).
3. Crazy Rich Asians
This movie is everything: stunning outfits, dreamy locations, and a love story that gives you all the feels. Also, that wedding scene? Literal goals.
Best watched with: A snack board that’s as extra as the movie—think fancy cheese and sparkling wine.
4. Pride and Prejudice (2005)
Because Mr. Darcy. Enough said. Between the smoldering stares and the beautiful English countryside, this one’s a no-brainer.
Best watched with: Tea, scones, and a dash of drama.
5. 27 Dresses
Planning a wedding? This movie gets it. It’s light, funny, and will remind you that it’s okay to laugh at the chaos.
Best watched with: Your wedding planning notebook—and maybe a mimosa.
6. La La Land
If you’re into musicals (or just dream about dancing on a hilltop in L.A.), this one’s for you. It’s romantic, bittersweet, and the soundtrack is perfection.
Best watched with: A jazz playlist for after the credits roll.
7. Bride Wars
This is for anyone who needs a good laugh about weddings. It’s ridiculous in the best way and will make you appreciate your own (hopefully drama-free) planning process.
Best watched with: Your bestie or maid of honor—and a bottle of rosé.
8. To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before
If you’re in the mood for something sweet and light, this one’s all about the magic of first loves. Also, Peter Kavinsky. Enough said.
Best watched with: Popcorn and cozy socks.
9. Sweet Home Alabama
Southern charm, Reese Witherspoon, and a love story that reminds you sometimes you’ve gotta go back to move forward. Classic.
Best watched with: Sweet tea (or wine… I won’t judge) and a comfy couch.
10. Titanic
You’ve seen it a hundred times, but it’s still a vibe. Jack and Rose are iconic, and it’ll remind you to treasure every moment. Just, you know, maybe don’t reenact the door scene.
Best watched with: Tissues… lots of tissues. And maybe a cozy blanket because it gets cold on that raft.
Bonus Picks:
Father of the Bride (1991)
This one’s less about romance and more about the family side of wedding planning. It’s hilarious and heartwarming—and a good reminder to keep your sense of humor intact during the process.
Best watched with: Your parents or anyone footing the bill… just kidding. Kind of.
Yuletide the Knot (2023)
This one was filmed at a wedding venue - La Joya Dulce in Colorado.
Whether you’re laughing, crying, or swooning, these movies are the perfect way to soak up all the love and excitement of being engaged. So, which one are you starting with? Let me know—I’m always looking for more movie night inspo!
