Is it Bridget's wedding? 

By Nicole Lampert, Daily Mail - December 3, 2004

Has Bridget Jones finally got her wish for an idyllic wedding? 

From the bouquet in her arms and the man of her dreams beside her, it would certainly seem so. But, as with most things Bridget, all is not quite what it seems. 

Renee Zellweger, as the famous singleton, is actually the bridesmaid to her parents, who decide to renew their marriage vows after a brief separation. But the look of love she gives Colin Firth, who plays Mark Darcy, and her frantic rush to catch her mother's bouquet - it took three attempts - leaves no one in doubt that she's longing for the day when she will walk down the aisle as a bride. 

The scene is from the eagerly-awaited movie Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason. Hopes were raised that Bridget would marry after cast member Celia Imrie hinted there was a wedding in the new film - even though the character does not wed in the book - and then said: "Oops, I shouldn't have said that." 

A winter wonderland of snow and ice was created for the filming in Shere, Surrey. However, the real British weather interrupted shooting for most of the day as rain repeatedly destroyed the look of the fake snow. "In the end they had to do the scene in just three takes because rain kept on ruining the snowy effect," said an onlooker yesterday. "The whole cast looked very at ease with each other and they seemed to be having a good time." 

The cast are halfway through filming the sequel to Helen Fielding' s Bridget Jones, which is expected to be complete by January.
