!!This film contains examples of the following tropes:
* AmbiguouslyGay: Franck Egglehoffer and assistant Howard Weinstein are both foppish and campy. They enjoy the wedding prep as much as the brides themselves.
* BabiesMakeEverythingBetter: Averted at first in ''Part II''; Nina reacts badly when George jokes around at them being parents at their age and Annie reacts badly when she learns she and her mother will be pregnant ''at the same time''. Then it's played straight once they actually give birth.
* BumblingDad: Both George and Bryan's dad, John, stumble through the wedding and pregnancy without much idea of what to do.
* ButICantBePregnant[=/=]LawOfInverseFertility: Nina in Part II, who thought she was going through menopause.
* TheCameo: Eugene Levy (of ''Series/{{SCTV}}'' and ''Film/AmericanPie'' fame) plays the wedding singer in the first film and an Arabic real estate mogul in the sequel.

* ComedicSociopathy : A lot of somewhat cruel sequences in this film are just played for laughs, like the pool sequence in the first film and the scene with the house being demolished in Part II.
* CoolCar: George's sports car, which gets him a little attention in Part II. Also, Annie and Bryan's car, which was a wedding present from his parents.

** This quote sums up this trope:
-->'''George:''' You have a little girl. An adorable little girl who looks up to you and adores you in a way you could never imagine. I remember how her little hand used to fit inside mine. How she used to sit in my lap and lean her head against my chest. She said that I was her hero.
* DontYouLikeIt: Brian gives Annie a blender -- she breaks off the engagement.
* FairytaleWeddingDress: Annie's wedding gown is a PimpedOutDress with lots of skirt and plenty of lace.
* FunnyForeigner: Creator/RogerEbert described Franck's accent as "part central European and part nasal congestion". The "nasal congestion" part could also go well for his assistant, Howard Weinstein.
%%* HappilyMarried: George and Nina, Brian and Annie, and Brian's parents.
* HowWeGotHere: The first movie begins after the wedding is over, then backtracks five months when "the storm broke". The second one begins with George sitting in his living room, and again backtracked over several months. Once the story is concluded, we realize he's been telling us all this while waiting for Bryan and Annie to arrive before they move cross-country.
* LoveAtFirstSight: It is strongly implied that this is what happened with Annie and Bryan because Annie's story of how they met is very short.
* MythologyGag: The ugly wedding present that nobody likes--the Venus de Milo clock--is the same one that was used in the 1950 film for the same joke.
%%* NiceGuy: Bryan [=McKenzie=].
* NotSoDifferent: Following Bryan and Annie's fight, George realizes,"Annie was just like me and Bryan was just like Nina. They were perfect for each other."
* OnlySaneMan: George flirts with this at points in the first movie, as the wedding plans grow increasingly elaborate and expensive. He definitely sees ''himself'' as this, at any rate.
* OpeningMonologue: George follows this into his role as {{Narrator}}.
* OverprotectiveDad

* ParentalMarriageVeto: This is how George reacts when Annie announced her engagement.

So I end up paying for four buns I don't need. So I am removing the superfluous buns. Yeah. And you want to know why? Because some big-shot over at the wiener company got together with some big-shot over at the bun company and decided to rip off the American public. Because they think the American public is a bunch of trusting nit-wits who will pay for everything they don't need rather than make a stink. Well they're not ripping of this nitwit any more because I'm not paying for one more thing I don't need. George Banks is saying NO!
* RemakeCameo: Tom Irish, who plays the bride's brother in the 1950 movie, appears in this one as a guest at the wedding.

* ShoutOut: The clock that Annie is given that looks like Michelangelo's David was also a gift in the original film.
* StayInTheKitchen: This is what Annie thinks Bryan expects of her in their marriage when he gives her a blender as a wedding present. In truth he was thinking more along the lines of "one of us might want to blend something at some point in the future".

Well they're not ripping of this nitwit any more because I'm not paying for one more thing I don't need. George Banks is saying NO!
* RemakeCameo: Tom Irish, who plays the bride's brother in the 1950 movie, appears in this one as a guest at the wedding.
* SheIsAllGrownUp: George hadn't realized Annie grown up until she announced her enagement. He still sees her as a little girl with her hair in pigtails. Him coming to terms with this fact is part of the movie's conflict.
* ShoutOut: The clock that Annie is given that looks like Michelangelo's David was also a gift in the original film.
* StayInTheKitchen: This is what Annie thinks Bryan expects of her in their marriage when he gives her a blender as a wedding present. In truth he was thinking more along the lines of "one of us might want to blend something at some point in the future".
* TackyTuxedo: As George learns to his chagrin, Armani doesn't make a navy tux.
%%* TeamDad: George, of course.
%%* TeamMom: Nina, we can see their different points of view in the arguments that they have through the films.
* TimeCompressionMontage: There's two of these in the first movie. The first one shows the months leading up to the wedding and the second one shows a much longer period of time where Annie is growing up.
