Tom Hanks' wife, Rita Wilson, saw the play and recommended that her husband produce a movie version. In an interview with the German magazine "Cinema," Nia Vardalos mentioned that she hung up when Hanks called because she did not believe it was really him.
Nia Vardalos's real-life husband at the time of the filming, Ian Gomez, plays Ian's best friend, Mike. The couple divorced in 2018.
According to Nia Vardalos, paying for catering during the film proved not to be a problem. Wherever the film was being shot, whenever local Greek restaurants learned about it, they sent over lots of free food.
My Big Fat Greek Wedding is the highest-grossing romantic comedy film of all time.
When Aunt Voula learns that Ian is a vegetarian, she gets a bewildered look and replies, "That's okay. I make lamb." Nia Vardalos said this reflects the confusion that many Greeks have toward vegetarianism. During World War II, food was scarce, so Greeks subsisted on anything available. To them, a principle-base refusal to eat a certain kind of food makes little sense.
"Toula Portokalos: Ma, Dad is so stubborn. What he says goes. "Ah, the man is the head of the house!" Maria Portokalos: Let me tell you something, Toula. The man is the head, but the woman is the neck. And she can turn the head any way she wants."
"Aunt Voula: What do you mean he don't eat no meat? [the entire room stops, in shock] Aunt Voula: Oh, that's okay. I make lamb."
