Forget Patrick Dempsey. This guy wins the award for "Best Man of Honor" ever.

Patrick Dempsey is hot and everything, but why did he agree to star in what looks to be a remake of a Julia Roberts movie? I didn't actually see it, so technically I shouldn't say anything, but I will anyway.

Dear PD,
Accepting a role in this movie was a horrible idea. You shouldn't have stooped to this level of paycheck-collecting. Call me before deciding to do something this transparent, as I would have talked you out of it. Your first clue should have been that they didn't cast the perfection that is Rupert Everett as the star's trusted sidekick. Women (and probably even some men) love you too much to be fooled by the premise of this movie as being a fresh idea in filmmaking.

It's not just this movie, though. I haven't even watched the past 2 seasons of your TV show because of this marked change in you. Somewhere along the line you lost your career joie de vivre; after the good old days when you inspired sheep jaded teenagers to do the African Anteater Ritual all the way to when you played the rejected "Mr. Perfect" proposing to Reece Witherspoon in Tiffany's. Something in your career path changed after that, and it makes me sad.

Long live the Ronald Miller days,
Jules

On that note, the following video of the best wedding toast ever is the antidote to the poison Hollywood is trying to infect the world, and certain better-than-that actor's resumes with. You can't beat it, and frankly, I wish some of the weddings I've been a bridesmaid in or even just been to as a guest in support of my friends would have featured some sort of song & dance number. I love you, all of my married friends, and I blame myself for not sneaking around behind your backs to come up with this idea for your own wedding receptions.

This real-life "Man of Honor" came up with the idea to surprise his best friend, the bride. Somehow, even though so many people were involved in the subsequent performance, it was kept secret from her as is proven by her reaction to everyone's participation. You know she's something special if they got her father-in-law and brothers involved. After seeing this, I'm now liable to audibly "booooo" the next boring wedding toast I hear (my apologies in advance if this happens during a toast you're making).

Look out whichever-one-of-you-is-next-down-the-aisle. We may not have spent our summers in musical theater camp or done dinner theater together in college, but if I have anything to say about it, you might just be in for something like this:


The sign he holds up at the beginning says, "Well, here we go! The story of Amy... (cue music)". You must at least hang on long enough for the dance break, in which they manage to squeeze in nods to at least 4 Broadway classics.
