Trivia: While Steve Martin and Nina are discussing the Wedding Coordinator, Martin says they will end up broke and walking the sidewalks in a bathrobe. Martin did exactly that in 1979's The Jerk.
William BergquistTrivia: The strange Venus di Milo clock wedding gift also makes an appearance in the original 1950 version of the film with Elizabeth Taylor.
KristaTrivia: Martin Short was not supposed to have the accent he uses in the film. Instead, as a joke he began using it and the director thought it was funny-so it stayed.
Continuity mistake: During the wedding reception, George (Steve Martin) is called outside to meet with the police because there are too many cars parked in the street. Notice that the police car is curbside completely surrounded by cars. In fact, the whole street is packed with cars, making one wonder how the police car got up to the house.
George: Well, that's the thing about life, is the surprises, the little things that sneak up on you and grab hold of you.
