Father of the Bride

I watched the above movie streamed to my computer via Netflix earlier this evening.  What is it about this movie that always warms my heart? I love it! I love the second one as well – I laugh and cry in them every time.

Steve Martin in these two movies reminds me a smidgen of my brother which makes me wonder how he is doing up there in Canada.  I’m sure he has the love of his “split apart” to keep him toasty warm.  I look forward to seeing them in June.

I guess the movie gives me a sense of nostalgia but also of peace at how simple events like a wedding can bring a family together.  My niece is getting married in a few months…actually will probably have two nieces getting married this year.  Weddings are so wonderful because they represent a fresh new life for the couple saying those wedding vows.  I usually sit there wondering what the future will bring for them – will they be happy? Will their love last the tests of time? I hope so.

Hmmm…wonder if my niece is registered anywhere? I need to check that out.

  1. I love both of those movies too and I think it has to do with the fact that it is all about family.
    How important they are regardless of how hectic life can get.
    And Steve Martin is so lovable in both of them.
    he is a man who is really good but makes silly mistakes and can admit to them.
    If either one of these comes on as I am flipping through the channels I have to watch it, even if it is half way through the movie when I find it.
    Just simple family fun. :)
