Why do I bring it up on a wedding blog though? During the film, Vince Vaughn's character calls Kevin James and Winona Ryder (or rather, their characters) his "hero couple". Which is, of course, meant to mean that they are his ideal. For those of you who know the plot of the film, and pardon me if I'm giving away anything, Vince Vaughn discovers that the marriage of his "hero couple" is in no way as perfect as he thought it was.
Of course, when he learns that his friend's marriage is something of a sham, his world falls apart and he risks sabotaging his own amazing relationship to try to fix an unfixable situation. Ultimately, in the way of all comedies (SPOILER ALERT!!) things end up (mostly) happy and Vince Vaughn doesn't let the failed marriage of his heroes keep him from believing in love.
So I guess this post mostly concerns having a "hero couple" or knowing a couple you see as an "ideal". Obviously, in this scenario it was a bad thing, but could it possibly be a good thing? Could seeing people who have a healthy, happy relationship which causes you to strive for better habits in your own relationship?
I'm not sure. It sounds possible when I write it out, but since every relationship is so different, is comparing yours to someone else's productive? Again, I'm really not sure.
Surprisingly, The Dilemma, was a more thought provoking movie than I expected!
