“Uncles of the Bride,” one follower wrote, a play on words with the 1991 film’s title. Another person asked Martin, 79, to “bring back” his character from the movie “to plan the wedding.”

“You have shown me a level of class, intellect and humor that doesn’t seem to be easy to find anymore,” she continued in the caption of the sweet post. “You guys are truly best friends to me forever.” “Our friendship grows and grows,” he said.

“I think it just gets deeper and deeper and deeper.” Martin echoed his longtime friend’s sentiment, as he admitted, “We didn’t really know Selena, we didn’t know what we’re getting into. I knew she has a fabulous personality, she’s very smart. But she is never late.”

“And that’s a very big deal when you’re making a movie, if people are standing around like, ‘Where is so-and-so?,’” he continued.

“She is on the mark… We all march down the steps together. It’s fabulous. But it gives you an insight into her own personality and professionalism.”
