We have been asked to make a dress that is gonna break the 100 pound barrier.
Big fat greek wedding dress.
Posted by k8t at 10 15 am on june 19 2011 5 favorites this is complete speculation but i sort of wonder if weddings didn t become particularly important community events because the community was traditionally itinerant.
My big fat greek wedding is a 2002 independent romantic comedy film directed by joel zwick and written by nia vardalos who also stars in the film as fotoula toula portokalos a greek american woman who falls in love with non greek ian miller.
A wedding is one opportunity although ironicly it is really about fitting in.
It was hard enough trying to get married in the first place without her extended family almost ruining everything but by the time the wedding arrives her crazy relatives are still causing problems.

Instead she rode on the back of a flatbed trailer.

In fact tatiana s dress was so big that she couldn t even try to get into a car.
And sondra did not disappoint.
