Synopsis

1.It‘s about Charles unwittingly finds his love in Carrie—an open-hearted American –at his friend‘s wedding.One mistake is that he foolishly couldn‘t realize it before he let her go after one-night stand.But as the number of ceremony goes up(including one funeral)who, he gradually comes to notice that he threw away the best thing in his life.And while he is wondering what to do, friends around his start to search for their real love, including his own brother David, his timid friend Tom, Tom‘s sister Fiona, and Charles‘s eccentric roommate Scarlet.But where should Charles go?

•Divine 神圣的电影片断分析First Wedding/ Charles’ Speech

Charles: Ladies and gentlemen, l'm sorry to drag you from your deerts.There are just one or two little things I feel I should say, as best man.This is only the second time l've been a best man.I hope I did OK that time.The couple in question are at least still talking to me.Unfortunately, they're not actually talking to each other.The divorce came through a couple of months ago.Charles: But l'm aured it had absolutely nothing to do with me.Paula knew Piers had slept with her sister before I mentioned it in the speech.The fact that he'd slept with her mother came as a surprise, but I think was incidental to the nightmare of recrimination and violence that became their two-day marriage.Anyway, enough of that.My job today is to talk about Angus.There are no skeletons in his cupboard.Or so I thought.Charles: I'll come on to that in a minute.I would just like to say this.I am, as ever, in bewildered awe of anyone who makes this kind of commitment that Angus and Laura have made today.I know I couldn't do it and I think it's wonderful they can.So, back to Angus and those sheep.So, ladies and gentlemen, if you'd raise your glaes.The adorable couple.About How to Use Idioms

Carrie: Le than Madonna, more than Prince Diweak-hearted, as it turned outFor God's sake!No, you mustn't, David.Charles: They all blame you too.Charles :No, no.If there's music to be faced, I should be facing it.Face the fact;Face the music： 面对现实;勇于承担责任

-Hello.No, l'm fine.Comes a point when you can't get wetter.No, please don't.I...I just wanted to check you're OK.Not busy killing yourself or anything, but...But you're fine, so...I shouldn't have come to the church this morning.I'm sorry.No!Wait.It was all my fault.I mean, l'm the bastard here.And it sorted out one thing.Marriage and me were very clearly not meant for one another.It sorted out another big thing, too.There I was, standing there in the church, and for the first time in my whole life I realised I totally and utterly loved one person.And it wasn't the person next to me in the veil.It's the person standing opposite me now in the rain.Is it still raining? I hadn't noticed.The truth of it is, l've loved you from the first second I met you.No.I might drown.But otherwise, no.OK.OK.We'll go in.But first let me ask you one thing.Do you think, after we've dried off, after we've spent lots more time together, you might agree not to marry me? And do you think not being married to me might maybe be something you could consider doing for the rest of your life? Do you? I do.Songs from the movie
