Bride Wars 2 (2025) is a sparkling, chaotic romantic comedy sequel that reunites best friendsโturnedโfrenemies Emma (Anne Hathaway) and Liv (Kate Hudson), this time flipping the script on love, friendship, and wedding madness in the social-media age.
The film opens more than a decade after the โbattle of the brides.โ Emma and Liv, now happily married and successful in their own careers, have settled into family life. Emma works as a teacher and part-time writer, while Liv has reinvented herself as a sought-after lifestyle guru and wedding consultant. Their friendship, once fractured, is stronger than everโuntil a new wedding-related disaster threatens to tear them apart again.

This time, the chaos begins when their daughtersโcollege best friends themselvesโshockingly announce theyโve scheduled weddings on the same weekend. Emma and Liv, wanting to support their kids, jump into planning modeโฆ only to realize history might be repeating itself. Their old competitive streaks flare up: Liv insists on extravagance, Emma champions intimacy, and soon theyโre back at odds, this time fighting on behalf of their daughters.


The comedy escalates as dueling bridal showers, sabotaged rehearsal dinners, and over-the-top venue wars spiral out of control, made worse by social media amplifying every misstep. Meanwhile, their daughters, initially swept up in their momsโ antics, begin to question what marriageโand their friendshipsโreally mean.
Amidst the chaos, Emma and Liv also confront their own midlife insecurities: Emma wonders if she sacrificed too much for stability, while Liv questions whether her picture-perfect public image hides deeper regrets. Their daughtersโ weddings force them to reflect not just on love, but on how far theyโve come since their own feud.

The climax unfolds in a double mishap on the big day: a storm knocks out power at one venue while a catering disaster ruins the other. Forced to improvise, Emma and Liv unite to throw a joint weddingโchaotic, heartfelt, and utterly imperfectโthat turns out to be exactly what everyone needed.

Bride Wars 2 (2025) is funny, heartfelt, and just a little unhinged, celebrating the messiness of weddings, motherhood, and lifelong friendship. It proves that while love may start the story, itโs friendship that keeps it aliveโeven when the cake collapses, the flowers wilt, and the bridesmaids go rogue.
