Some movies keep a special place in your heart throughout the years, and for me, that would be the rom com 27 Dresses. This film is the epitome of the saying “always the bridesmaid, never the bride” as it follows Jane Nichols (Katherine Heigl), the responsible older sister and diligent employee who is so good at taking care of others that she has been a bridesmaid in 27 weddings. Her own love life, however, is lacking, to say the least. And then she meets Kevin Doyle (James Marsden), a cranky cynic with a bleak view of love—who just happens to secretly be one of the best wedding announcement writers at the newspaper.

This movie is about what love really means—not just what it looks like to the rest of the world through flashy Instagram filters or described with flowery words. Here are the best quotes from 27 dresses about modern romance, loyalty, and what it means to find your person:

1.

Kevin (James Marsden): Love is patient, love is kind, love means slowly losing your mind.

2.

Jane (Katherine Heigl): You write the most beautiful things. Do you actually believe in love and marriage and just pretend to be a cynic, or are you actually a cynic who knows how to spin romantic crap for girls like me?

Kevin (James Marsden): I didn’t follow that at all, but I think the second one. The spinning crap one.

3.

Kevin (James Marsden): What the hell is that?

Jane (Katherine Heigl): Theme wedding.

Kevin: What was the theme? Humiliation?

4.

Kevin (James Marsden): What about you? Don’t you have any needs?

Jane (Katherine Heigl): No, I’m Jesus.

5.

Jane (Katherine Heigl): I feel like I just found out my favorite love song was written about a sandwich.

6.

Jane (Katherine Heigl): I just want you to know, I never do this. 

Kevin (James Marsden): Oh, I know.

Jane: No, really. I never, never do this.

Kevin: No, really, I know. Last night, you kept saying it over and over again: “I never do this, I never do this, I never do this.”

7.

Jane (Katherine Heigl): You tell him the truth or I will.

Tess (Malin Akerman): No you won’t. You wouldn’t hurt a fly, and you definitely wouldn’t hurt me. I’m your sister.

Jane: That was yesterday. Today you’re just some b*tch that broke my heart and cut up my mother’s wedding dress.

8.

Jane (Katherine Heigl): I think you should admit that you’re just a big softy, that this whole cynical thing is just an act so that you can seem wounded and mysterious and sexy.

Kevin (James Marsden): Whoa, whoa, whoa. What was that last one?

9.

Kevin (James Marsden): I think you deserve more than what you’ve settled for. I do. I think you deserve to be taken care of for a change.

10.

Jane (Katherine Heigl): Kevin, I’ve been waiting for my whole life for the right guy to come along, and then you showed up and you were nothing like the man I imagined. You’re cynical and you’re cranky and impossible. But the truth is, fighting with you is the best thing that’s ever happened to me, and I think there’s a very good chance that I’m falling in love with you.

And A Bonus Quote

Jane (Katherine Heigl): Everything was perfect and I didn’t care. Because right then, the only thing that mattered was the person waiting for me at the end of the aisle, and he was looking at me the way I’d always hoped.
