From Wedding to Wedding

The sequel to 'My Big Fat Greek Wedding' is an entertaining film with a few very humorous, even 'laugh out loud' scenes.

The story continues with the relatives getting older but wiser and still supporting one another with their family run restaurant business.

The matriarch, Maria, who is the mother and grandmother, holds the family together; whilst the father and grandfather, is his usual cranky but good hearted self.

The next generation of wife and husband share their own cultural differences with pride, at the same time as bringing up their daughter to make the most of both worlds.

The husband's character is perfect in terms of understanding his father in law, because he deals with him in a calm and intelligent, controlled way. The wife's growing patience is admirable and an example to others.

This may be a very simple story all in all, but the crux of it conveys a few essential messages:

Mutual communication and shared respect are crucial to a long lasting relationship as well as to a strong family unit.

Cultural differences are to be respected, and from these differences are born new generations of adults who are special because of their open minded attitude towards life and others.

Traditions are of course an inherent part of a healthy relationship, but a flexible attitude towards diversity is necessary in order for generations to grow freely and develop their spiritual comprehension.
Love is an inherent part of the wholesome family unit.Image result for my big fat greek wedding 2 images

'Syncharitiria' to the everlasting bride and groom.
