The wedding scene “was like a real wedding, in that it was stressful," co-star Elizabeth Reaser - who plays vampire matriarch Esme Cullen - recently told MTV News. "It took a lot of planning, a lot of organization. That was stuff we were all dealing with [and it was like] you were planning a real wedding.
"And the nerves ... I mean, there was an added element of nervousness when we were shooting it, maybe because there were helicopters and people jumping out of trees with cameras, but it was definitely a heightened couple of days on set," she continued, referring to the paparazzi who were trying to snap photos. "It took several days to shoot, and at a certain point you don't want to be in a corset anymore."
