Aside from the Royal Wedding and Kim Kardashian’s fairy tale nuptials, the Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part I is due to premiere in just a couple of days with one of the most anticipated “I do’s” of the year. To the building anticipation to see Kristen Stewart make her way down the aisle, Rob Pattinson had this to say: “It’s a white dress,” he joked. “But it’s beautiful, it’s an incredible dress. She looks amazing.” Not only did Pattinson enjoy seeing his on-and-off-screen girlfriend all glammed up in her wedding dress, but he also gained a new appreciation for real-life nuptials, according to People. As the on-screen groom, he realized that his role in the wedding was minuscule compared to Stewart’s. “She had to deal with all the nerves, all the heavy lifting in the scene,” said Pattinson. “You suddenly realize that the role of a man, the role of a groom in a wedding, is that of a prop.”
