My Greek Aunt Voula
Tell me you've seen My Big Fat Greek Wedding. Even if you have already seen it, you MUST watch it again. I just watched it for the, I don't know, fourth time. HA-LAR-IOUS. I'm not kidding. I was laughing so hard I had tears. This video is one of my favorite parts. Love Aunt Voula. LOVE her.
My second favorite part is when Toula (the bride) is getting ready on the day of her wedding and all the women in the family surround her with excitement and are helping her with every detail. Toula's mother rushes in to explain to her (regarding her wedding night) that Greek women are like lambs in the kitchen and tigers in the bedroom, all the while Aunt Voula is right beside her mother tweezing HER MOTHER's stray whiskers on her chin! I was dying!
Oh! I almost forgot. Another Aunt Voula part:
Toula is introducing Ian (her future groom) to Aunt Voula at a family gathering. Aunt Voula, loves to cook and insists that Ian come over so she can cook for him. Toula says, "that might be a problem." Aunt Voula looks puzzled. Toula tells her, "Ian is a vegetarian." Aunt Voula says, "What do you mean he don't eat NO MEAT! ---- Okay, I make lamb!" and off she goes to dance!
The best.

That movie is one of my favorite!
Ohhhh the simple things in life....a great laugh. We all need it and I am glad that you, my daughter, find the simple things to enjoy and amuse you.
Love you my dear daughter!
You have inspired me to rent the movie. I can't believe I haven't seen it; I've seen all the other "wedding movies". Tell me it has a good ending, though. That's a must!
What the heck kind of a name is Voula anyway? WOW! Some parent was ruthless when they filled out that birth certificate. Aren't you grateful you were named after a puppeteer, instead of a weird Greek movie character?
Did anyone watch the clip?
So stinkin' funny.
Voula rhymes with Toula. Did anyone catch that? I loved the part where they introduce their large greek family to Ian's parents. Pay attention to all their names...
I did!!!! Every one of them. It is hysterical. I too, am easily amused LOL.
