... My Big Fat Greek Wedding is an example of the second group of people. ... ” I feel the best is the most obvious, the fact that a Greek was going to marry a non-Greek. ... What is unique about her situation is that the family didn’t care anything about the man, other than the fact that he wasn’t Greek. In this family the woman had three jobs, marry a Greek man, make lots of babies, and raise your household in the Greek fashion. ... A girl, I leave her name out for fear of misspelling, grows up in the Greek household, working at the family restaurant, owned and operated by all Greeks. ... Although, she knows that this man is not Greek, and that he doesn’t know the life she lives she invites him into it. ... As time passes so do the dates, and they are eventually caught kissing by one of her aunts, who tells her cousin, who tells another and so on and so forth, and by lunch time every member of the family knows that the girl, they once thought would live forever alone is dating a man, but he’s not Greek. ... This causes another stir but just as all other things they eventually adapt to it and then wedding plans start. ... Her wedding is the complete opposite. ... The Greek Church states that to be wed in the church you must be Greek. For the man and woman of this film to be wed in this church the man must change his religious beliefs and be baptized in the Greek Church. ... As the wedding grows closer the families both are introduced to each other and with this comes completely different social standings. The Greek family is a large family where everyone knows everyone else’s business.
