So, How Old Were the Parents in 'Father of the Bride'?
You know, I was watching 'Father of the Bride' the other day - you remember, the one with Steve Martin and Diane Keaton? - and it got me thinking. I mean, I love that movie, it's a classic, but have you ever stopped to wonder, just how old were George and Nina Banks?
I mean, sure, we can all picture them in our heads, right? Steve Martin's George is this lovable, slightly neurotic dad, and Diane Keaton's Nina is the epitome of elegant, put-together moms. But what's their age? It's not something the movie really dwells on, is it?
Let's Do Some Math
Alright, so we know that the movie came out in 1991. And we know that their daughter, Annie, is 22 and about to get married. Now, I don't know about you, but I was no where near ready for marriage at 22. So, let's assume Annie's a bit of an early bloomer. If we say George and Nina had her when they were, say, 25, that would make them around 47 and 45 in the movie.

But here's where it gets interesting. In the sequel, 'Father of the Bride Part II', which came out in 1995, Annie's expecting a baby. And Nina's expecting too! So, George becomes a grandfather and a father again within a few years. Now, that's a plot twist!
So, How Old Were They?
Well, if we go with our earlier assumption that they were around 47 and 45 in the first movie, that would make them around 52 and 50 in the sequel. Which, by the way, is still totally doable. I mean, have you seen Diane Keaton lately? The woman is ageless!

But here's the thing, folks. It doesn't really matter how old they were. Because 'Father of the Bride' isn't about their age. It's about love, family, and the chaos that comes with planning a wedding. It's about George's struggle to let go of his little girl, and Nina's struggle to keep her family together. It's about the fact that, no matter how old you are, parenthood is a wild ride.
So, next time you're watching 'Father of the Bride', don't worry about the ages. Just enjoy the show. And if you're planning a wedding anytime soon, well, maybe send a little prayer up to George and Nina. They've been there, done that, and lived to tell the tale!
