If you've recently gotten engaged and are making plans for a wedding, have I got news for you! The upcoming film Made of Honor, together with all-things-weddings website The Knot, are joining forces to bring you a Get Married at the Premiere contest. Made of Honor, in case you don't know, is about a sexy, successful guy (Patrick Dempsey) who realizes he's really in love with his best friend (Michelle Monaghan) when she leaves for six weeks to go on a business trip to Scotland.

He misses her so much he decides to ask her to marry him when she returns ... but she returns having fallen in love with a wealthy Scot, and asks him to be her "maid of honor" at her wedding. He agrees, but only to try to put a stop to things before it's too late. Sounds pretty much exactly like Julia Roberts' hit My Best Friend's Wedding, but if you like Dr. McDreamy, and you like rom-coms, it's probably right up your romantic alley.

Anyhow, here's what you do to enter the contest: just go to the website and submit a photo of you and your beloved, along with the story of the moment you realized you were meant to be together (pause here for a collective "Awwwwwww ... ").

In honor of our own Mark Beall's recent wedding, we're delving into the world of brides, grooms and missing rings on this week's Eat My Shorts. Surprisingly, I was unable to find a ton of content online when it came to this topic. Why are you people not making shorts about weddings? There's so much material here!

Based on all the crap I went through while planning my own wedding, there are a number of subjects one can cover: How about the proposal? Engagement party? Locating a wedding hall? Choosing the rings, music, flowers and photography? Oh, and what about selecting just the right menu? (Which, honestly, was my favorite part of the whole thing.) Do I even need to mention the bachelor and bachelorette parties? All that aside, the actual wedding day is an epic film in and of itself.

Yeah, so congrats Mark! And good luck! As always, keep sending in those shorts, people -- we're getting a ton of awesome material which I'll be featuring in upcoming editions of Eat My Shorts. If you spot a great short film online and feel like sharing, all tips links and suggestions should be sent to shorts AT cinematical DOT com. Now, ladies and gentlemen, you're cordially invited to join me and watch some shorts ...
