Continuity mistake: Carrie and Charles meet his brother at a cinema. When Carrie leaves and they walk into the shop Charles' loose shirt gets half tucked into his shorts from one shot to the next. (01:03:50)
Four Weddings and a Funeral (1994)
Ending / spoiler
Directed by: Mike Newell
Starring: Hugh Grant, Andie MacDowell, Rowan Atkinson, John Hannah, James Fleet, Simon Callow
Charles doesn't marry his ex-girlfriend. Charles and Carrie end up together, but they don't get married (otherwise it would be Five Weddings and a Funeral). Gareth dies of a heart attack. Through a series of photos before the end credits we see that Scarlett marries the tall Texan, Tom marries the girl he met at Charles's wedding (or "almost" wedding), Charles's brother marries the girl who noticed him during the first wedding, Matthew makes a new friend and Fiona marries Prince Charles.

Fiona: There's a sort of greatness to your lateness.
Charles: Thanks, it's not achieved without real suffering.
Trivia: If you think the church where Charles nearly marries Henrietta looks familiar, that's because it's the same church where the Sheriff of Nottingham attempted to force Maid Marion to marry her in Robin Hood;Prince of Thieves-St Bartholomew the Great in London.
Question: Why wouldn't Charles' brother be his best man? Or is that not traditional in England the way it is in America? It's not mandatory but is certainly expected, unless the brothers are not close (which Charles and his brother are) or the groom's father serves as best man.
Answer: A groom can choose whoever he wants as best man. As you say yourself, it's by no means mandatory for it to be the groom's brother, even if they are close. In this particular case, it's possible that David felt that he ought not to be the best man, due to the difficulty that he'd have in making a speech, but, really, Charles was under no obligation to choose him.
