One wedding on the list:
Mr Rochester and Jane EyreRead about the other nine weddings on Mullan's list.
They do get married in the end, of course, but we all remember the wedding that gets interrupted. Jane has got her man to the altar. "Speak now or forever hold your peace!" And Mr Briggs does speak: "I declare the existence of an impediment." Happiness is snatched away.

Jane Eyre also made the Guardian's top 10 lists of "outsider books" and "romantic fiction."
