The romantic comedy “Made of Honor” adds tart satirical flavors to a cotton-candy formula without sabotaging the sugar rush. Directed by Paul Weiland (“City Slickers II”), it begins on a nasty note when Tom (Patrick Dempsey), the putative Mr. Right in this taming-of-the-rogue fable, is introduced as a college boy wearing a hideous Bill Clinton mask and drunkenly bellowing for his Monica at a Halloween bacchanal. Overview
 
The movie then skips ahead 10 years to discover this obnoxious Lothario living high in New York City off the millions he has made from his invention of the paper-cup sleeve. When the latest bimbo to grace his bed wonders the morning after their hookup if she will see him that evening, he snaps: “I don’t do back-to-backs. Two nights in a row; I don’t do that.” He also lives by the 24-hour rule: Never call a date until a full day has passed.

When William Shakespeare got hitched to Anne Hathaway in 1582, there was much speculation surrounding their marriage. But it wasn't the fact that it was a May-December romance that got tongues wagging (William was 18, Anne was 26). Instead it was the fact that their daughter was born just six months after they walked down the aisle, which had Elizabethan gossip queens' tongues running amok.

So was it a shotgun wedding? Did Will rush to get hitched to avoid the embarrassment of knocking up Anne before he had gotten down on one knee? Would he have dared to break the social conventions by letting her have the baby out of wedlock? (Gasp!)

We'll never know the full story but, according to Shakespearean scholars, the pair rushed the wedding so fast, they didn't even have time to complete the entire ceremony! Of course the urgency of it all isn't too surprising either, considering it occurred more than four centuries ago.

But fast forward to today and it's seems despite modern women claiming they don't need men, couldn't give two hoots about traditional conventions and would rather eat their own toenails than listen to their mums when it comes to marrying the man that got them knocked up in the first place, modern femmes aren't as independent as we once might have thought ...

According to Maternity Bride, one in six women are choosing to rush the nuptials and opt for a shotgun wedding, walking down the aisle with a growing baby bump courtesy of their bun in the oven.
