Plot – The Portokalos family is worried about Toula, the thirty-year-old daughter who's still unmarried. She works as a waitress in her parent's greek restaurant and her life is pretty flat indeed. When her parents propose her to come back to Greece to find a husband, she reacts and changes her look, enrolling in a computer school and working in her aunt's travel agency, despite the opposition of her outdated father. Then she meets the charming teacher Ian Miller, who asks her out on a date. They fall in love soon and Ian proposes her, but he has to deal with her parents and the whole family.
