"Fathers of the Bride: A Yuletide Wedding Comedy" follows the story of Leo and Rich (Peter Szeliga and Bruce L. Hart), Michelle's two dads. Michelle (Brooke Riley St Johns) is getting married but initially wants to skip the ceremony. Amidst the chaos of organizing their yearly Christmas bash, her dads persuade Michelle to opt for a grand wedding, fulfilling their own dream of the elaborate ceremony they never had. Chaos ensues, and a less-than-pleasant feud erupts between Rich and his sister-in-law, Angela (Raphaella Dreyer), over who truly is a real family member and thus qualified to plan the wedding. Despite the ups and downs, lessons are learned, and audiences can expect a heartwarming and happy ending. West Hollywood's own Dr. Christmas AKA Bob Pranga plays a role spoofing his own career as a Christmas decorator.

A Must-Watch Indie Gem with Heart and Humor Fathers of the Bride is a beautifully crafted indie film with a deeply real and touching message. Don’t let the “Yuletide” in the title fool you—this is a story for any time of year. It brings a refreshing, heartfelt perspective to a situation many families navigate but rarely see represented on screen: a parent coming out. Told with humor, warmth, and sincerity, the film balances lightness with meaningful emotional depth. The characters feel real, their relationships are layered with compelling conflicts, and the music is an absolute joy—creative, fun, and integral to the storytelling. This is indie filmmaking at its best. Stop what you’re doing and watch it now!

Rated 5 out of 5 stars
