Why did Sophie Cancel Her Marriage Last Minute?


What was the point? They couldn't save money on a wedding, the wedding was already done, so did she just not want to get married?

reply

she realised that she wanted it for the wrong reasons perhaps?

I've always wondered that too. They were basically at the wedding so it's not like they were going to save money not having a wedding to travel. Why not just get married since they were at the alter.

I guess it could be what the other poster said. Maybe she realized she was doing it for all the wrong reasons?

This is my signature.

Remember her fiance, Skye, wanted a simple Greek wedding, so I imagined that's why they sailed-off together at the end for such a wedding.

It is consistent with the way she acted the rest of the movie; immature, impulsive, inconsiderate of other people, completely lacking in judgement or any ability to foresee the obvious likely consequences of her actions. Quite likely she has some kind of personality disorder, and her fiance, if he's lucky will avoid any potential legal or financial entanglements with her.

that first sentence is exactly what i think of her

I always got a creepy feeling off of Skye, I figured calling off the wedding was the best thing because that way they actually have TIME to figure out if it's what they want to do and that being together is best for both of them, and if not, they won't have to go through divorce to get free of each other.

You got a creepy feeling off SKY? I kept waiting for Sophie to turn into Harley Quinn, she was so batsh*t insane.

Hey, we just have to accept that it was "Sophie's Choice". ;) Meryl should appreciate that one.

Plot device. Sophie called her wedding off so Donna could have it,
LOL.
And she was kinda flighty

The whole film is a sort of coming-of-age story for Sophie (thought she really doesn't change much in the duration of the film...). She realizes that she doesn't need to keep tabs on everything and can focus on herself, in the advent of the debacle with the three dads. Also, knowing Skye is hesitant both about the big white wedding and the settling down on the island, she decides to live her own life instead of Donna's.

That's why.
