This definitely counts as a wedding movie – it’s got a wedding, divorce and an engagement in it, right? Regardless, it’s a brilliant excuse to put on the ultimate Lindsay Lohan film (don’t @ me), dance to that incredible soundtrack, and try to learn Martin and Annie’s secret handshake. We dare you to do that at the altar instead of kiss.
And an extra one!

Only after they’ve proposed (and we’re talking three days after first hearing each other’s voices), do they get to meet face-to-face.
