Classic Movie Pairing

Father of the Bride (1950). In this beloved family comedy, a doting father finds himself overwhelmed as his daughter prepares for her wedding. With Spencer Tracy bringing warmth and humor to the role, and Elizabeth Taylor glowing as the young bride, Vincente Minnelli’s direction captures both the hilarity and tenderness of this family event. Earning three Academy Award nominations—including Best Actor for Tracy and Best Picture—this classic was an instant hit. The movie’s joyful, yet chaotic, energy complements this deliciously crisp Italian bubbly that adds a touch of sophistication and sparkle.
