Ever since we heard that the bestselling novel Crazy Rich Asians [1] was being made into a blockbuster film [2], we've been dying to see how the over-the-top wedding in the story would be portrayed in the film. Trust us: it's everything you imagined it to be and more.
When Rachel heads to Singapore with her longtime boyfriend, Nick, to attend his best friend's wedding, she learns that he was born into one of the wealthiest families in the country. During their stay, Rachel has to deal with jealous girls, his crazy family and disapproving mother, and a culture of wealth that's totally new to her. The film culminates in a huge wedding with a ceremony (and dress!) that you won't be able to stop staring at and an outdoor reception that will make your jaw drop. Click through for a sneak peek at all of the gorgeous details and advice on how to replicate the over-the-top wedding for yourself. Who's excited to see the film when it hits theatres on Aug. 15?
