Romeo and Juliet is everywhere!

My Big Fat Greek Wedding is very similar to Romeo and Juliet in the way that Toula, a Greek woman falls in love with Ian, a non-Greek school teacher, the way that Romeo falls in love with Juliet. Toula's family is strictly Greek and will only let her marry another Greek. Her father trys to set her up with men when he finds out about Ian, like Capulet did with Paris and Juliet. Toula's aunt very similarly resembles Juliets nurse because her aunt helps her go to college and be with Ian, two things that her father strongly disagreed with, like the nurse delivering messages to Romeo. Ians best friend is like Mercutio because he trys to get dates for him before he met Toula. Ians family and Toula's family are very different, but their love brought them together.
