Does This Remind You of Anything?: Just look at the scene where the two roll around trying to fight with each other, only to stop afterwards, breathing heavily in exhaustion. | |

Heterosexual Life-Partners | |
| Bride Wars / int_1dfbbf31 | comment |
Heterosexual Life-Partners: Emma and Liv, due to their close childhood friendship. More emphasis is placed on their friendship with each other than their relationships with their grooms-to-be despite the film revolving around their weddings. | |

Only Sane Man: Fletcher, Emma's fiancé, who points out that she's acting immature over an easily resolvable conflict. He gets dumped for his troubles. Considering her behavior during the movie, we can consider this a win for him | |

Big Eater: Liv, to the point of eating an entire box of chocolates (thinking they're from her fiancé), taste-testing various cakes and brownies and eating sticks of butter from different countries. Emma exploits this just so she could unexpectedly gain weight so she wouldn't fit into her wedding dress. | |

Friendship-Straining Competition: When Liv and Emma are accidentally scheduled to have their weddings on the same day, time, and place, they both expect the other to back down and change their date. When nobody does, things slowly escalate into complete hostility as the girls play nasty pranks on each other to ensure their wedding day is superior. | |

False Soulmate | |
| Bride Wars / int_70379ff6 | comment |
False Soulmate: Emma's fiance Fletcher turns out to be her false soulmate. They've been together for at least a decade and are initially happy to be getting married after Fletcher proposes, but the stress of wedding planning, Emma's increasingly hostile rivalry with her best friend Liv, and the previously shy and unassertive Emma becoming more outspoken and impulsive all puts a lot of strain on their relationship. After things reach a head at Emma and Liv's wedding ceremonies, Emma and Fletcher get into an argument in front of the guests, culminating in Emma tearfully realising that her fiance is still in love with the girl she was ten years ago, but that she's just not the same person anymore and they're no longer compatible. They call off the wedding and the ending reveals that Emma is now Happily Married to and having a baby with Liv's brother Nate, who has long had feelings for her. | |

Satellite Love Interest | |
| Bride Wars / int_835d1cd2 | comment |
Satellite Love Interest: The two male grooms are barely noticeable throughout the film and are more plot vehicles than characters. At no point do they issue a strong word to their future wives to stop acting like maniacs. Fletcher does call Emma out on her behavior at one point, and gets dumped for his trouble. | |

It's All About Me | |
| Bride Wars / int_bb18a227 | comment |
It's All About Me: The general attitude of the two brides about their wedding day increasingly becomes all about what they want for their big day and let's just forget about those pesky grooms. Neither bride is willing to compromise on her vision, to the point of trying to sabotage and one-up each other, much to the concern and exasperation of their grooms and guests. | |

Third Act Stupidity | |
| Bride Wars / int_ffb975c7 | comment |
Third Act Stupidity: Stupidity and Selfishness. Worse, this could all have been avoided if they'd agreed at the beginning of the movie to have a double wedding. Makes sense as they have lots of friends in common, but it is also fair to say any bride wants to be in the center. There's a scene where Liv remembers she switched the tape, and gives the real one back. She sends her assistant to deliver the real one... who hides it instead, saying "you'll thank me later." Well, no, she won't. He didn't know it was the real tape; he thought it would be a harmful one. | |
