"you said I Love You to a dog- why don't you ever try saying it to a person one day?"

Let me tell you why I love the movie Made of Honor so much that I can watch it over and over again. Aside from the fact that Patrick Dempsey and his selection of shirts and suits during the movie are ravishing.

Because it opened with a morning scene of Manhattan, NY. The movie began with how the city wakes up, how the bakeries open, how the chefs get out to take the trash in the early dawn.

Because I like the relationship between Tom (Dempsey) and Hannah (played by the ever so beautiful Bridget Moynahan). Because I like how he picks her up at work and takes her to breakfast, brunch and dessert. Because I like how they used to date but then decided to be better off being best friends.

Because Hannah already knows Tom like the back of her hand and how used she is to his one-night-stand stories, his charm amongst the girls, and his fear of commitment and how she accepts all those as his bestest friend. Because they always ordered different desserts and swapped it to taste each other's cake, out of habit. Because Tom said "I can't be your maid of honor; I can't give you up." after their kiss and backed off so she could be happy with her fiancee.

And best of all, because I admire how incredibly brave Hannah is to break off her wedding, right in the chapel, to be with Tom instead, after finally realizing that he's the one after all these years.
