'Sex And The City 2' Samantha Wedding Pics Were A 'Bait-And-Switch'

Kim Cattrall told director Michael Patrick King: 'I want to come to the set someday in a wedding gown.'

There have been many memorable weddings on [movie id="414497"]"Sex and the City 2."[/movie] Who could forget when Charlotte married Trey? Or, for that matter, when Charlotte married Harry? And, there was that lovely little ceremony when Steve finally got Miranda to tie the knot.

Then, of course, fans nearly died of happiness when Mr. Big and Carrie Bradshaw finally walked down the aisle in the first "Sex and the City" movie. So when fans saw paparazzi photos of Samantha (Kim Cattrall) in a wedding dress, they thought she was the latest "Sex and the City" girl to put a ring on it.

Turns out, they got duped. "That was a completely conscious bait-and-switch," [article id="1639564"]"Sex and the City 2" director Michael Patrick King[/article] told MTV News.

He said it was Cattrall's devious mind that came up with the idea. "[She] came to me and said, 'I want to come to the set someday in a wedding gown and make everybody think Samantha's getting married,' " he recalled. "And I put it in my head [like], 'That's a funny idea.' Forty-five minutes later, I turned around; she was crossing the street in a wedding gown. I thought, 'Oh, today?' "

Cattrall wasn't able to pull it off all on her own; she got some help from the show's iconic stylist. "Patricia Field got a gown that fit her within 40 minutes, and she had a veil on and she's running across the street," he said. "And what I loved about it was every blog that I saw was like, 'This looks like a bad idea for a movie.' And I was like, 'It is!' "
