If you've got access to some video equipment at your wedding ceremony, this idea from Liz and Adam's movie-themed wedding might be your ticket to a killer ceremony. In lieu of readings, they used surprise movie scenes to illustrate their love for each other. Here's how they got it done:

We bucked a lot of traditions; if it didn't feel true to us as a couple, we didn't force it into our wedding. Instead of readings, Adam and I each picked a movie clip that reflected a special quality about the other. We kept our choice a secret and revealed them to each other during the ceremony.

What scenes would YOU pick for your partner? Maybe one of these faves?

(Spoilers ahead)

When Harry realized his love for Sally?

The About Time wedding scene set to Il Mondo (swoon)?

Heath Ledger not taking his eyes off of her?
