All of us have filmi shaadi favourites. Tell us yours!
What do we love more than films and film stars?
Why, it's the big fat filmi weddings of course!

Saif Ali Khan and Kareena Kapoor
Saif Ali Khan and Kareena Kapoor made it official in 2012 after dating in the public eye for years.
For their registered marriage, that preceded more formal and lavish wedding receptions in New Delhi and Mumbai, the couple chose comfy daywear.
Ram Charan and Upasna 
Telugu superstar Ram Charan Teja tied the knot with Upasana Kamineni in 2012.
Their wedding reception was a grand affair, to put it mildly and was widely covered in the media, thanks to Ram Charan's massive fan following among Telugu moviegoers.
Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai
Even though their 2007 nuptials were fiercely guarded, snapshots from the traditonal ceremony got out and how!
The couple made for quite a striking sight in all their opulent wedding finery, no?
Vivek Oberoi and Priyanka Alva
Meanwhile, Ash's ex-flame Vivek Oberoi got hitched to Bangalore-based Priyanka Alva in a lavish wedding in 2010, which was accentuated with traditional Punjabi exuberance set in a backdrop of coastal Karnataka.
Priyanka is the daughter of former Karnataka minister Jeevaraj Alva and reputed dancer Nandini.
Suriya and Jyothika
After being in a well-publicised relationship for several years, Tamil stars Suriya and Jyothika said 'I do' in a low-key ceremony in Chennai in September, 2006.
Shilpa Shetty and Raj Kundra
While Shilpa Shetty and her UK-based businessman beau Raj Kundra settled for a more glitzy affair in Khandala that was decidedly less star-studded than the reception in Mumbai that followed.
Shilpa's reception outfit was the most showstopping bridal attire we've seen in ages.
Imran Khan and Avantika Mallik
Imran Khan's 2011 nuptials with longtime girlfriend Avantika Malik rivalled their contemporary shaadis in star-power and opulence.
While the entire Khan-daan was in attendance, the reception (hosted by uncle Aamir Khan) was much talked about too.
Allu Arjun and Sneha
Allu Arjun wed Sneha Reddy in a grand ceremony too.
Just how gloriously traditional does this young couple look in their wedding attire!
Soha Ali Khan and Kunal Kemmu
Unlike elder brother Saif, Soha Ali Khan settled for a more low-key bash following her wedding with actor Kunal Kemmu.
Are we digging this pair's traditional yet chilled out style or what!
NTR Jr and Lakshmi
NT Rama Rao Jr wed Lakshmi Pranathi in a grand ceremony at the HiTEX, in Hyderabad, in May, 2011.
Look at the pictures from their nuptials and the reception that followed here.
Dia Mirza and Sahil Sangha
Dia Mirza made for a striking bride as she tied the knot with longtime beau Sahil Sangha in October last year.

Malyalam actor Fahaadh Faasil got hitched to Nazriya Nazim last year.
Behold the beautiful sight that is this resplendent couple.
