Does anyone else find it incredibly unlikely that Emma was able to not only get over breaking up with her fiance on her wedding day, but then start dating Liv's brother, get engaged to him, plan the wedding, get married, then get pregnant all within one year? The only thing I could think of was that it was a shotgun wedding or something.
shareTowards the end of the movie it was pretty obvious that Emma was eventually going to get together with Liv's brother. But I was expecting for them to maybe do a 5 year jump, and then we could see Emma married and pregnant. But it's just kind of unrealistic for Emma to jump into a new relationship and get married all in a year after she ended a 10 year one.
shareThank you. Exactly what I was thinking. Even a 2-year jump would have been more believable.
shareIt works for me just based on the fact that her and the brother obviously hada close relationship already. She was best friends with his sister for YEARS, since they were children. What could they not know about each other besides obvious physical things. I would imagine the relationship could move that quickly.
shareI agree with this right here. daMasterShoNuff
shareActually, she said she and Fletcher were friends for 10 years, not sure of when they became a couple. She obviously knew Nate since childhood, but never saw him as anything more than a friend until she and Fletcher broke up.
Of course, though, the time lapse was a short one.
Odds are with a woman this close to marriage, only to break it off after a random epiphany that she could end up right back with the guy she started with. There is a better than average chance she has another epiphany and this time it's I really did want you {first guy] and to second guy I made a mistake. They seem to never show the jilted ones fate.
shareNot easy to do a "five year jump" and just get pregnant they were old enough as it was to start having children what you wanted them to start trying approaching 40? Then we have a whole new movie IVF WARS
shareAlso not unrealistic to get out of a ten year dead end relationship and find someone else quite quickly - seen it happen and succeed
shareYou know, I'm not a fan of people doing that but I see a lot of it more and more. I brought that up to my dad recently too, I said it is so weird that people will be in these long-term relationships or even marriages and then hook up/get married to someone else right after breaking off that relationship or marriage. What's even weirder to me is when they're married for a long time and separate and then hook up immediately with the next person and that's who they have kids with. But they didn't have them with the spouse. I guess I'm just frustrated at society, even though it's not my life.
I know that was more than you probably wanted to hear, but this is why I don't find it unlikely. It happens a lot from what I see in my area.

back-up plan imo.
shareOne of the things Liv said to Emma was the she settled. Emma realized it when arguing with her fiancé. Knowing the brother since childhood, I can see how the relationship would move quickly. Also, having that cutie waiting in the wings would make it easier to get over the a-hole fiancé.
