Last year's wedding hit "Bridesmaids" was informative -- we immediately scratched our future plans to plan bachelorette parties at sketchy Brazilian restaurant before dress fittings --  but if you really want the harsh truth about weddings, "Bachelorette" is your film. The darkly comic movie (starring Kirsten Dunst, Isla Fisher and Lizzy Caplan as bridesmaids-from-hell) uncovers the sordid underbelly of the modern marriage ritual. So lock up your wedding dress and check out these fun "facts!"

The Bride Takes It All

ABBA had it almost right. In the minds of single bridesmaids, when it comes to the weddings: The first to get married “takes it all” while the losers -- er, the bridesmaids -- “stand small. And snort coke . And get s**t-faced ... as they lament all the reasons it should be them on that altar. Beware your BFFs. According to "Bachelorette," they might secretly hate the happiest day of your life.

Groomsmen To the Rescue

Fortunately, most bridesmaids don’t have to wallow in their singleness long, as there is usually a long-lost love or overlooked high school admirer amongst the groomsmen, ready to sweep them off their feet, or at the very least, knock boots with them in a bathroom.

Slam-dunking the Wedding Speech

While including a humorous, slightly embarrassing anecdote about the bride or groom is fine fodder for a wedding speech, there are some things that should and shouldn’t be said. Reminiscing about the groom peeing himself at an amusement park as a child — acceptable. Recalling the bulimic bride puking her guts out in the high school john — not acceptable. Making a sloshed speech about your missing cellphone — not exactly offensive, but not a good idea either. Maybe save the champagne for after the speeches? Your bridal party can toast just as well with soda.

Hide the Wedding Dress

If you’re a bride, hide your wedding dress. Lock it away, hire a body guard or do whatever you must to make sure your wasted, coked-out, borderline-suicidal bridesmaids don’t get their paws on it ... and drag it through the city in an epic adventure of tears and stains. A rip might be repaired in time, but blood and other bodily fluids are pretty tough to remove.

OK, upon reflection, if your wedding resembles "Bachelorette" at all ... you might consider eloping.
