Hey there, friend! Remember those classic Hugh Grant movies from the ’90s? Well, Four Weddings and a Funeral is over two decades old now, and it still stands out because of its unique blend of wit and heart. Here are 12 lessons from this gem that might inspire you to hit play again on Netflix.

1. Life Has Its Wedding Seasons: You know that phase in your 20s and 30s where it feels like every weekend is booked for a wedding? Charles shows up to the second wedding and asks, “So, who is it today?” Enjoy these gatherings while you can; once they’re gone, you’ll long for the days of dressing up without having to chase after kids.
2. Some People Will Always Be Late: Just like our pal Hugh, who’s probably late to his kids’ events now. A sequel could totally be called 4 Late Arrivals and a Graduation!
3. “Frickity-Frack” Is the Best Panic Phrase: When you’re trying to squeeze into that fancy dress in record time, this is the go-to expression!
4. Why Some Marry: “Marriage is just a way of getting out of an awkward pause in conversation.” It’s a cheeky take on why some couples tie the knot even if they don’t seem to share much.
5. Finding Mr. Right Isn’t Always Easy: Not everyone finds their soulmate on the first try! Take Carrie, who marries Hamish before realizing Charles is her true match.
6. Embrace the Hats: Seriously, more hats, please! And let’s not forget Scarlett’s fabulous orange and purple outfit at that first wedding.
7. 80s Wedding Dresses: “A big meringue” perfectly sums up those extravagant wedding gowns from the ’80s and early ’90s.
8. Every Wedding Needs a Gareth: Remember Gareth’s enthusiastic line, “It’s bloody Brigadoon!”? We all need a friend like that at our celebrations.
9. Weddings Bring Back Memories: We’ve all been there—running into old flames or sitting at a table surrounded by exes.
10. “Frick-a-doodle-do”: This is the ultimate expression for when your crush marries some random guy instead of you.
11. No One Is Out of Your League: When Charles first spots Carrie, Fiona mentions Carrie is too good for him—but we know she’s not!
12. Cherish Your Memories: Whether you’re married or not, let’s all aspire to be like Gareth, who proudly states, “I was adored once too.”
