The last movie I'd ever watch with Mom.
Towards the end of my trip to Michigan, it was getting late in the evening, but I felt like I hadn't done as many things with my mom as I had wanted to on that trip. I asked her if she'd like to watch Bridesmaid's with me. We sat next to each other on the couch, laughing throughout the movie.
I love Bridesmaids for a lot of reasons, but one of the big ones is the ending. (SPOILER ALERT) Even after Kristen Wiig reconciles with Maya Rudolph and the two become friends again, Maya still rides off with her new husband and Kristen is still left along in the crowd. Life doesn't have the neat happy ending we want it to. So it goes.
I've watched Bridesmaids several times, but it'll always remind me of my mom now.
