				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align:center"><img src="http://xotheknot.files.wordpress.com/2013/04/bigwedding_blog.jpg?w=650" /></p><p>No matter how much planning may go into your wedding it&#8217;s likely it won&#8217;t go off without a hiccup or two. That&#8217;s especially the case in <em>The Big Wedding</em> starring Robert De Niro, Diane Keaton, Robin Williams and Amanda Seyfried &#8212; to name just a few from the star-studded cast! The movie, in theaters today, follows one large modern family that&#8217;s trying to survive a weekend wedding celebration that has the potential to go terribly wrong. A long divorced couple (played by De Niro and Keaton) fake being married during the wedding of their adopted son. Sounds like drama waiting to happen! If you love a good rom-com wedding movie like I do (Psst: I&#8217;ve watched <em>My Best Friends Wedding</em> a dozen times), you&#8217;re going to want to check this one out. </p>
<p>Here&#8217;s a preview of what you&#8217;ll see if you go:</p>
<span class='embed-youtube' style='text-align:center; display: block;'><iframe class='youtube-player' type='text/html' width='560' height='315' src='http://www.youtube.com/embed/TS40GwpoDcw?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;wmode=transparent' frameborder='0'></iframe></span>
<p>And, it gets better&#8211; <a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.thebigweddingmovie.com/" target="_blank">tickets are two for $12</a> until the end of April!</p>

The cushion-cut engagement ring is the winning wedding detail of our first ever <a href="http://blog.theknot.com/2013/03/18/theknot-com-march-madness-wedding-edition/" target="_blank">March Madness Wedding Tournament</a>! It was a hard-fought win but the cushion-cut eked by the hydrangea with 51.13% of the vote. Are you surprised? Out of the dozens of brackets filled out in our office, there are two winners (both with cupcakes coming their way).</p>
<p>And since it&#8217;s obvious everyone loves cushion-cut engagement rings, we thought we&#8217;d round up a few of our favorite styles. Take a look!</p>
