'Could Have Avoided This!' Plot: If Joanna had just apologized to Marni from the start, they really could have started over like she said she wanted.At one point, Ramona confesses that Joanna is the only thing resembling a family she has.

The Cheerleader: Joanna and Gail were this in high school.Also Patrick Duffy as Ramona's high school crush (grown up, of course). And, of course, Hall And Oates perform at the end.

The Cameo: Dwayne Johnson, uncredited, as the Air Marshal on Marni's plane and Cloris Leachman (also uncredited) as Helen.

Later, after Marni blows up the wedding rehearsal by exposing Joanna's lies, Joanna admits to Marni that she really is sorry and only invoked the trope because she was terrified of the fact that she was marrying the brother of her former victim. Later when Marni confronts her in private, Joanna shows that she remembers perfectly and is unrepentant, dismissive and condescending. When Joanna first meets Marni as Marni's future sister-in-law, she seemingly doesn't recognize or remember Marni in the slightest.

But for Me, It Was Tuesday: Played with.

Later, Marni makes good on her resolve to make Joanna regret her choices.

Bullying the Dragon: It's pretty unwise of Joanna to belittle and refuse to apologize to Marni (her former victim), especially when the latter just so happens to be the sister of her fiance.

The Bride with a Past: Marni realizes her brother is about to marry the Alpha Bitch who made her life miserable in high school.Joanna shouldn't have just assumed that, if they would ignore what happened in high school, things would be okay and they could start again, not that Marni's decision to publicly shame her for the person she was in high school instead of attempting to look for a way to solve the issue with discretion and dignity was any better. Both Sides Have a Point: Simultaneously, both sides are wrong.Bookends: Gail and Ramona's friendship was ruined and years later rebuild in a pool.
