Marriage is ours, the wedding is theirs. “It is the first lesson we must learn all newly engaged couples, and Lucia (America Ferrera) and Marcus (Lance Gross) are no exception. In OUR FAMILY WEDDING learning in the most difficult, that the road to “I do” can be fraught with family conflicts. Just back from the university, announced that they plan to wed in love, then find their parents-two and hyper-inflated ego could cause havoc in the most special day of their lives.
With insults flying right and left and anger to the surface, everyone wondered if these parents so peculiar (Forest Whitaker and Carlos Mencia) made it down the hall whole. While Lucia’s mother is busy planning the wedding of “your” dreams, the only balanced the party is Angela (Regina King), the best friend and lawyer of the father of the groom, who manages to stay calm, when madness reaches its climax.
With only a few weeks to plan the wedding, Lucia and Marcus soon discover that it is very true the saying: when you marry someone, you marry the whole family.

A MULTIESTELAR CAST GIVES LIFE TO OUR FAMILY WEDDING
The director Rick Famuyiwa feels a special attraction for weddings. “The beauty of the wedding in general is that you’re surrounded by plenty of people who start out being total strangers and after ‘Yes, I’ are family.”
