This paper shall provide a critical analysis to the statement: "Love and marriage go together like a horse and carriage". This shall be accomplished through addressing Hollywood films from the modern period that concern a fairly idealized impression of both love and marriage. Three modern films shall be examined in order to demonstrate this thesis, and these films are commonly referred to as "romantic comedies" and are "The Runaway Bride", "Sense and Sensibility", and "My Best Friend's Wedding". 13 pgs. Bibliography lists 6 sources.
