office, it could be awkward. if you work with six or seven people, you invite three, i mean, that's not cool. someone is not going to get along with the rest of them after here comes the bride. >> i'm all for eloping and having a big party for everybody afterwards. you know, i don't know. it's a personal thing. >> we talk about the greatest movies, the greatest movies that make you fall in love. >> or believe in it. >> can we have popcorn during our workout show? okay. >> we're supposed to be working out. >> thank you, for all you do, where. >> i love the popcorn here. don't you? >> jerry makes great popcorn. buzz feed asked its fans which movie makes you believe in love again? >> love actually. if you haven't seen it, oh, i love this scene. colin ferth. he just proposed to her. >> oh, my god. she said yeah. >> look at him. look at him.
