Muaha. I expected something totally else. 8)
shareI think,
Charles: How do you do? I'm Charles.
Old Man: Dont be ridiculous, Charles died twenty years ago!
Is funniest! Lol!
LOL!! That one is hilarious. The old man's face and tone are perfect.
sharethere's a lot of best-lines in this movie, but one place I liked in particular is when charles is talking to that annoying man at the boatman and the hotel man comes with the drinks
annoying man: "do you mind if I join you?"
Charles: "No, that would be lovely"
the look on charlies face, the tone in his voice and his slightly gritted teeth is just hilarious!
~I Don't care if you don't want me, I'm your's, I'm your's... right now~
Fiona: "Matthew darling, where's Garett?"
Matthew: "Oh, he's out bothering the Americans."
Fiona: "Good" (or something along those lines.)
And in the same wedding:
American woman: "Do you actually know Oscar Wilde?"
Garet: "Not personally, but I do know someone who's got his faxnumber."

They blew up Congress!!!
" i remember the first time i saw gareth on the dance floor, i feared lives would be lost"
"i thought u2 was a type of submerine"
"well your right their music does have a very navel beat"
"there is a certain greatness to your lateness"
"thank you, its not achieved without great suffering"
"hows that gorgeous girlfriend of yours?"
"ah, shes no longer my girlfriend"
"oh, well, dont look to grim, rumour has it she never stopped bonking old toby delias in case you hadnt worked out by now"
"she is now my wife."
"by the time im finished with you, youre gonna wish you felt this good again"
LYDIA: Don't be ridiculous Bernard. I'm not *that* desperate.
Followed later by
LYDIA: Who's a very bad bridegroom indeed?
Followed later by
CHARLES: How are you?
BERNARD: Bloody exhausted actually.
The first line is my favourite, but I just love Lydia and Bernard.
I also love the lines Scarlett says about why perverts like rubber. My dad loves "we've both lost a lot of weight since then" at the second wedding.
Lol, this film is filled up with great lines.
Also I like Gareths facial expressions during the band performing at the first wedding.

They blew up Congress!!! HAHAHA!
How about...
"We are gathered here by the Father, Son and the Holy Spiket, I mean Spirit"
Rowan Akinson
Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha!!!!
Wow this is hard; they're so many but I guess I'll go with:
"hows that gorgeous girlfriend of yours?"
"ah, shes no longer my girlfriend"
"oh, well, dont look to grim, rumour has it she never stopped bonking old toby delias in case you hadnt worked out by now"
"she is now my wife."
exellentfilms
I think,
Charles: How do you do? I'm Charles.
Old Man: Dont be ridiculous, Charles died twenty years ago!
Is funniest! Lol!
Yes my favorite line.
Hugh Grant was so handsome in this movie. share
This film really had fantastic characters... to bad the leading lady was so unlikable.
shareToo bad indeed...
I liked Fiona's delivery of the line "...and far less call for con-dams". Must've watched it a zillion times!
It's me, Gloria, I left my driver's licence on the table, next to the fruit!
One of my favs was:
Matthew: Bride or Groom?
Old Man: It should be perfectly obvious i'm neither.
Tom: (looking heavenward after meeting Deirdre) "thunderbolt city"
shareI loved Lydia and Bernard's whole wedding ceremony with the nervous priest.
I would've said "SAINT JOHN" as well...not "SINJIN". LOL. What the hell is "SINJIN?" Why isn't it "SAINT JOHN" if that's how it's spelled ???
-Jane
St. John is an upper-class British name with a distinctive and well-established pronunciation. The priest does not come from a background in which St. John is used as a name, and he has no clue how it is pronounced in that context. The priest has made a number of hilarious mistakes that are his fault, and then he gets clobbered by the British class system which is not his fault.
St. John as a name is pronounced "Sinjun" to rhyme with "injun" which is the term used in American Westerns to refer to someone that we would now call a "Native American." Words are frequently pronounced in ways that don't seem to reflect their spelling. "Worcester," a city in both England and Massachusetts, is one, frequently amusing, example. Once, however, you've learned how to pronounce "Worcester," you can also pronounce a whole bunch of other English cities. "Wriothesley" and "Southwark" are examples that come up in relation to Shakespeare.
See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_names_in_English_with_non-intuiti ve_pronunciations and the very amusing http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/h2g2/A19773499 for other examples.
AND my favorite example of British mispronunciation, (OT, as it is not from FW&F:)
From "Monty Python's Flying Circus: It's a Living (#2.6)" (1970)
Interviewer: Good evening. I have with me in the studio tonight one of the country's leading skin specialists, Raymond Luxury Yacht.
Raymond Luxury Yacht: That's not my name!
Interviewer: [tries literal pronunciation] I'm sorry; Raymond Luxury Yatscht.
Raymond Luxury Yacht: No no no, it's spelled, "Raymond Luxury Yacht," but it's pronounced, "Throat Warbler Mangrove."
Interviewer: You are a very silly man, and I'm not going to interview you.
I thought it rhymed with a synonym for a machine that does work.
"You didn't come into this life just to sit around on a dugout bench, did ya?"

There are so many good ones.
One of my favorites is not a line per se, but images. At the closing, when they're showing all the photgraphs of the various couples, the women are wearing the dresses Carrie had tried on at the bridal shop.
Haha! I never noticed that.

They blew up Congress!!! HAHAHA!
Most of my favourites have been mentioned here. I've always been fond of the scene where he leaves the table with all the ex-girlfriends and says to (I think) Matthew "I think I should be where others are not."
I've used that one myself.
At Charles wedding, Bgger, Bgger, Bgger
Vicar I often do the same myself, not quite the same vocab of course, rather more hail marys and (whatever it was)
Some great one liners, John with unfaithful wife scene v funny and Carries' face it's actually very good in that one.
Not mentioned in the quotes, or so far: "If I were your husband, I would die of pride."
