The Princess Bride

Nothing gave Buttercup as much pleasure as ordering Westley around.
Buttercup: “Farm boy, polish my horse’s saddle. I want to see my face shining in it by morning.”
Westley: “As you wish” .“As you wish” was all he ever said to her.
Buttercup: “Farm boy, fill these with water – please.”
Westley: “As you wish.”
That day, she was amazed to discover that when he was saying “As you wish”, what he meant was, “I love you.” And even more amazing was the day she realised she truly loved him back.

Bride Wars

Marion St. Claire: “It was quite a wedding and as I stood there watching I realised something I’d forgotten a long time ago. Sometimes in life there really are bonds formed that can never be broken. Sometimes you really can find that one person who will stand by you no matter what. Maybe you will find it in a spouse and celebrate it with your dream wedding. But there’s also the chance that the one person you can count on for a lifetime, the one person who knows you sometimes better than you know yourself is the same person who’s been standing beside you all along.”

27 Dresses

Jane: “You know how the bride makes her entrance and everybody turns to look at her? That’s when I look at the groom. Cause his face says it all you know? The pure love there.”

Kevin: “When the bride comes in and she makes her giant grand entrance, I like to glance back at the poor guy getting married. Cause even though I think he’s an idiot for willingly entering into the last legal form of slavery, he always looks really, really happy.”

The Wedding Planner

Steve: “Do you ever think about that night at the park?”

Mary: “What?”

Steve: “I barely know you. I don’t know your dad’s first name, I don’t know if you ever wore braces, or contacts, or glasses and I have no idea how you came to be a wedding planner, Mary. But I do know the curves of your face. And I know every fleck of gold in your eyes. I know that the night at the park was the best time I’ve ever had. Please say something.”

Runaway Bride

Ike Graham: [on the perfect proposal] “Look, I guarantee there’ll be tough times. I guarantee that at some point, one or both of us is gonna want to get out of this thing. But I also guarantee that if I don’t ask you to be mine, I’ll regret it for the rest of my life, because I know, in my heart, you’re the only one for me.”
