The films became two beloved pieces of cinema of the last three decades, leaving fans wanting to hear more from the Banks family. The Father Of The Bride films not only ushered Kimberly Williams-Paisley and a young Kieran Culkin into stardom, but the series also delivered a career-defining performance from comedy legend Martin Short, as the eccentric wedding planner-turned-beloved-family friend, Franck Eggelhoffer. The pitter-patter of little feet didn't stop there but marched right on into George's own signature Meyers-approved gorgeous home his wife Nina played in both films by the incomparable and fashionable Diane Keaton, found herself pregnant alongside Annie! The sequel, released in 1995, saw George's life further rocked when Annie announces baby makes three for her young family.

One giant chunk of George's heart is his daughter Annie, who announces in the first film she has found the love of her life and would be tying the knot, sending George into a tailspin of having to cope with the idea of having to let go of his daughter, while juggling the interruption of a lavish wedding into his quaint existence no human or inanimate object was safe. Steve Martin played George Banks, a man who loves nothing more than his family and ensuring life always remains comfortable for him and the loves of his life. Meyers and her former partner in both love and entertainment brought two incredibly relatable and tales perfect for tugging on one's heartstrings to the big screen. Two films in Nancy Meyers' library of work that contain all of the above 'ingredients' comprise the Father Of The Bride series.

Not to mention gorgeous houses serving as architectural eye-candy! Family, friends, and the elements of life that bring comfort. If a film equivalent of a warm hug existed, there's a good chance it might be a film produced or directed by the one and only Nancy Meyers! Meyers has built her legacy over the last four decades for creating art made with love, her body of work emphasizing the elements of life which bring us all together.
