'My Big Fat Greek Wedding 3' Wraps Filming in Greece

"I love your feet because they have wandered over the earth and through the wind and water until they brought you to me." -Pablo Neruda, Your Feet

In the 20 years since its release in 2002, My Big Fat Greek Wedding has stood the test of time as not just a beloved, wholesome romantic comedy, but also as an uproarious tribute to the eccentricities of large and loving Greek families. Even though the film is billed as a romantic comedy, it is in many ways a film about family and just how frustrating and funny they can be in equal measure.
