This spot-on Sex and the City wedding re-creation with dolls will have you screaming 'No!' at Big all over again

Charlotte remains the MVP, naturally.

That wedding scene — or that almost wedding scene — in the Sex and the City movie doesn't get any easier to watch, even 16 years after its debut.

Thankfully, TikToker Barbie Boi, on the account my_miniature_things, has come to the rescue with a signature recreation that combines the original audio from the film and Barbie dolls. It's simultaneously adorable — after all, they are mini — and bizarre — the doll standing in for Big has a smile literally plastered on his face at all time, no matter what he's saying. (See the video below.)

The attention to detail is perfection. For example, the headpiece that Sarah Jessica Parker's Carrie wears featuring, yep, a dark feather, and Kim Cattrall's Samantha holding red roses. Cynthia Nixon's Miranda and Kristin Davis' Charlotte are the mirror image of their real-life counterparts, too.

The scene, in which Carrie fiancé Mr. Big, whose real name we had learned at the end of HBO's Sex and the City series in 2006, backs out of their wedding at the last minute, is a famous one. Librarians at the gorgeous New York Public Library, where it takes place, have been known to point it out to curious visitors.

The stunning Vivienne Westwood gown that Parker wore in the film became so iconic that it made an appearance in sequel series And Just Like That last year. The plot had Carrie in need of a dress worthy of an appearance at the Met Gala, after her original wardrobe choice was foiled by an ill seamstress. She found the designer dress that was associated with an awful memory, particularly after she and Big (Chris Noth) had eventually gotten married only for him to suffer a fatal heart attack, in her closet.

AJLT costume designers Molly Rogers and Danny Santiago told EW in June 2023 that the dress "came out in great shape." They contacted Westwood early on in the process and had the garment cleaned and adjusted for Parker after all these years.

The headpiece was a whole other story.

"I remember when we first had it back for the movie, they had said that feather was about 120 years old, that it's from a Victorian piece or something like that, that came from an old hat," Rogers said. "So even at that time, it was something extremely fragile. It made it through all of that filming, and here we are, this many years later."
