They met after a Carlisle High track meet; Shaun had previously been the track coach, and Michelle had succeeded him. They have been dating for a year and a half and just got engaged on March 8th. Shaun's best man is his college buddy Brit, and Michelle's maid of honor is her friend Sarah, who, she says, she has known since they were babies.

In Columbia Pictures' Made of Honor, Tom (Patrick Dempsey) leads a good life: he's sexy, successful, and knows he can always rely on Hannah (Michelle Monaghan), his delightful best friend and the one constant in his life. It's the perfect setup until Hannah goes overseas to Scotland on a six-week business trip ... and Tom is stunned to realize how empty his life is without her. He resolves that upon her return, he'll ask Hannah to marry him -- but is floored when he learns that she has become engaged to a handsome and wealthy Scotsman and plans to move overseas. When Hannah asks Tom to be her "maid" of honor, he reluctantly agrees to fill the role ... but only so he can attempt to woo Hannah and stop the wedding before it's too late. The film is directed by Paul Weiland. The screenplay is by Adam Sztykiel and Deborah Kaplan & Harry Elfont from a story by Adam Sztykiel. The producer is Neal H. Moritz.
