Goofs

When Charlie is talking to Viola in her wedding dress, she is wearing gloves. When she is ready to give up on the wedding, she takes her gloves off, which are a part of her dress. Later, when Charlie and Kevin are running to their honeymoon, Charlie has no gloves.

When Charlie picks up the dogs she walks, the open front door behind her shows a short front lawn and a busy street; the exterior shot of her running down the front lawn as the dog owner waves goodbye from the door shows a much larger front lawn.

Viola greets a guest at the engagement party - when she hugs him and pats his shoulders, a large amount of dust flies up from his outfit.
