Muriel's Wedding (1994)
Muriel lives in Porpoise Spit, Australia (yes Porpoise Spit), and all she wants in life is to be a bride. This film is a gem, with laughs and sorrow from beginning to end. Muriel is a huge ABBA fan and I love the musical number between Muriel (Toni Collette) and Rhonda (Rachel Griffith). One of my favorite scenes is on the video below with the "mean girls" attaching Muriel and Rhonda comes to her rescue.
Our recipe for Wedding Chicken with Asparagus & Pasta is inspired by "Muriel's Wedding." This elegant and delicious dish is perfect for a bride's special day. It's wedding perfect yes, but will be appreciated by dinner guess and family alike!
