    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      Among the wedding gifts Annie receives is a Venus de Milo statue with a clock in the stomach. In the original Father of the Bride (1950), Kay also receives this as one of her wedding gifts. Both look at it with disdain.
    • Goofs
      In the supermarket, George says that he's removing 4 hot dog buns from the packet of 12 because he only wants 8 buns to go with 8 wieners. Yet he does this with 3 packets of buns. So if he'd just taken 2 packs of 12, he would have the same amount as 3 packs of 8. But then he probably isn't thinking straight because he's stressed with the wedding plans.
    • Quotes
      • Stock Boy: [at a supermarket] Excuse me, sir, but what are you doing?
      • George: I'll tell you what I'm doing. I want to buy eight hot dogs and eight hot dog buns to go with them. But no one sells eight hot dog buns. They only sell twelve hot dog buns. So I end up paying for four buns I don't need. So I am removing the superfluous buns.
      • Stock Boy: I'm sorry, sir. But you're going to have to pay for all twelve buns. They're not marked individually.
      • George: Yeah. And you want to know why? Because some big-shot over at the wiener company got together with some big-shot over at the bun company and decided to rip off the American public. Because they think the American public is a bunch of trusting nit-wits...
      • Assistant Manager of Supermarket: [observing from the side] Get me security.
      • George: Who will pay for everything they don't need rather than make a stink! Well, they're not ripping off *this* nit-wit anymore because I'm not paying for one more thing I don't need. George Banks is saying no!
      • Stock Boy: Who's George Banks?
      • George: Me!
    • Crazy credits
      The words The End is cursively written at the end of the movie while George and Nina are slow dancing.
