What makes a great celebrity wedding to you? A fabulous dress? A star studded guest list? A bit of good gossip? The 1992 wedding of Whitney Houston and Bobby Brown had all that and then some. To say that Whitney and Bobby had a tumultuous relationship is an understatement. Theirs is a pairing of pure melodrama, which makes them a perfect fit for a TV movie. Well, for those who have been dreaming of a Whitney Houston biopic, you’re in luck. Whitney airs Saturday Jan. 17 on Lifetime. The biopic is directed by Houston’s Waiting to Exhale co-star Angela Bassett and has Yaya DaCosta taking on the iconic singer. Of course, this movie may produce more drinking games than awards, but that doesn’t mean it won’t be fun to watch. One question I’ve been wondering about is whether the film’s version will up to the extravagance of Houston and Brown’s real wedding.
Bassett definitely wants to stay true to the story, as she told USA Today, ”I have a great respect, love and desire to hold up [Houston’s] legacy. I respect the lives of the people I put onstage. It’s their life, their heartbeat.” Bassett may want to respect the legacy, but reproducing the lavishness of Whitney and Bobby’s lifestyle at the beginning of their marriage is not an easy feat on a TV movie budget. Before watching Whitney this Saturday, why don’t we take a look back at the expensive and over-the-top plus size wedding dresses at wedding Whitney and Bobby had in real life.
