My Best Friend's Wedding Ending

This is one of my favorite movies. I love how Philip Ingram (from Switch) is singing I Say a Little Prayer.

I love how this ending goes against the grain of nearly every other Hollywood romance of the time. In any other film, Julia would’ve won. But in this film, she gives up. It’s much more realistic. It’s life.

The fact that George hung back and was there for her in this moment is beautiful. People come and go but true friends will be there for you, even when you are trash. George didn't lose faith in that she would do the right thing.

This sentence always gets me: "Maybe there won't be marriage, maybe there won't be sex, but by God, there will be dancing". In my interpretation, it means that maybe I won't live my life the way society expects me, and maybe not everything will go to plan, but oh yes, I'm going to live my life to the fullest.

The moment that Michael comes back to hug her and say goodbye is one of the most precious moments in this film.

Amazing ending, this is life. Win some, lose some- you should appreciate what you have.

She may not has a lover but she has the most caring friend

GEORGE, as the voice of reason to Jules' emotional chaos, was my favorite character. I love when the three were running, visually playing out as the plot has done. Jules asks her friend, George, what she should do. George says "Michael is chasing Kimmie. You're chasing Michael. Who is chasing you? Nobody. There's your answer."

When I first watched this movie, I thought it would be a cliché: Julia would steal Cameron's fiancé and live happily ever after. The end surprises me, even today. I love it!

George was actually her best friend, this ending warms the heart

I remember the first time I saw this film, I shouted “Nooo!” at the ending! I was (like other people?) expecting Jules and Michael to end up together. Over time, I realise that this is actually the perfect ending. There is a sense of realism to it (in real life, Michael would have married Kimmy, not Jules) and like other people have said in the comments, it’s beautiful that George was there for Jules in this moment. You might not get the guy you want but you should dance with your friends and enjoy the moment anyway. 💖

One of the rare times you choose realism over a perfect Hollywood standard ending and it works

[brentage]

God, the size of that cell the nineties

[otterzrkuhl]

I love that this movie is like a rom com from the villains perspective, but it still gives a happy ending. The first time I saw this I cried because of the faith this movie has in friendship.

[warrenwintrode]

"But by God, there will be dancing." I can live with that.

The chemistry between Julia Robert & Rupert Everett are magical. Truly best friend#

I saw this movie as a child and it really made me realize that you don't have to feel rushed to find "the one" as long as you have people like George in your life who love you and care for you

[alsjth]

0:19 oh the way he softly says “bye” kills me. It was so intimate; their friendship is probably over or won’t be the same but he will always think of her fondly. The fact that he knew exactly where she was means he was looking for her on the balcony right before the bouquet toss. He sure as shit wasn’t going to leave without hugging her. Oh this movie 😩

[terrancejefferson]

I love the look Jules gives when George says, “What the hell, life goes on.” She glances down like she knows what he says is true, but it still hurts. Her facial expressions are everything in this scene!

[JoeCamp-mfug]

Why don’t they make movies like this anymore? Simplistic, beautiful without visual effects… take us back to the late 90s early 2000s 😢

[rawrawshed]

George is like a human golden retriever, too hard to not love him❤️
