''Father Of The Bride'' is a [[The Nineties|1991 film]], a [[R EmakeRemake]] of a 1950 film of the same title. It stars [[Steve Martin]] and Diane Keaton as George and Nina Banks (no, not [[Mary Poppins|THAT George Banks]]) as the parents of [[Daddy's Girl|Annie Banks]] (Kimberly Williams Paisley) who is about to [[Wedding Day|get married]] to Bryan MacKenzie, and while her rather skinflint [[Bumbling Dad]] nearly has an aneurysm about the costs of the wedding, he realises slowly that [[She's All Grown Up|Annie has grown up]] and leaving him. Yes, it sounds cliché, but the film has so many warm moments.
 
In 1995 there was a sequel where both Annie and her mother are pregnant.
----
=== This film contains examples of the following tropes: ===
* [[Ambiguously Gay]]: Franck Egglehoffer and assistant Howard Weinstein.
* [[Babies Make Everything Better]]: Averted at first in Part II, Nina reacts badly when George jokes around at them being parents at their age. And Annie reacts badly when she learns her and her mother will be pregnant ''at the same time''. But then played straight once they actually give birth.
* [[Bumbling Dad]]: George, and to some extent Bryan's Dad, John.
