It Had to Be You

Chris Jensen proposes marriage to his girlfriend Sonia Friedman, but to his surprise, Sonia panics and refuses his proposal. This rejection stuns Chris, and hurt by her response, he walks out, leaving Sonia to contemplate her feelings.

After Chris leaves, Sonia's friends Nora, Lee, and Anna arrive to console her. Through flashbacks, we learn about each friend's relationship status, which amplifies Sonia's anxiety about commitment and marriage.

Sonia narrates her thoughts and memories, revealing the timeline of her relationship with Chris. A significant moment includes Chris teaching Sonia to dance to 'It Had to Be You,' highlighting their romantic connection.

The next morning, Chris confronts Sonia about her refusal and reminds her of the year they have spent together. Despite Chris's hope that seeing their friends happily married would change her mind, Sonia still struggles with the idea of marriage.

Sonia has an inner dialogue, expressing her fears surrounding marriage, including concerns over compatibility, their sex life, and her self-identity as a woman. These fears manifest in whimsical flashbacks and animations that depict her worries.

Remembering the affection Chris showed in creating her personal website, Sonia agrees to go out with him to a movie. This date leads to an intimate moment where they share their first sexual encounter, deepening their emotional connection.

During a visit to Nora and Mark's new home, Mark encourages Chris to press Sonia for a commitment. Chris is torn as he loves Sonia but feels he cannot remain in limbo, leading to discussions about possibly pausing their relationship.

On a whim, Sonia decides to travel to Rome to visit her college crush Fabrizio. This trip is supposed to help her clear her thoughts, but instead leads her to a series of reckless choices, including spending the night with Fabrizio.

In the morning after her night with Fabrizio, Sonia discovers a note revealing that he is married and took her money. This moment marks a turning point, accentuating her feelings of betrayal and confusion regarding her own romantic choices.

Back in New York, Sonia learns that Chris has moved in with Nora and Mark. When she finally visits them for supper, she finds it difficult to engage with Chris, who is still hurt from their initial breakup.

At Mark and Nora's wedding, tensions between Sonia and Chris rise again. Despite the painful past, Sonia finds herself drawn to Chris once more when he confesses that he still loves her.

The morning after the wedding, Chris receives a job offer from Google for a position in San Francisco. As he grapples with the decision, it's evident that Sonia's reluctance to commit impacts their future together.

Fueled by the news of Lee's pregnancy and discussions with Zach, Sonia decides to take matters into her own hands and plans to propose to Chris with a DVD filled with their shared moments set to 'It Had to Be You'.

As Sonia rushes to the hospital where Nora is giving birth, she realizes Chris is also there but feels the tension as he seems hesitant around her. To win him back, she insists he watch her video, leading to an unexpected proposal moment.

In a climactic moment filled with emotion, Sonia gets down on one knee and asks Chris, 'Will you marry me?' When he responds with 'Of course I will,' it solidifies their commitment, ending their tumultuous journey towards love.
