After that, we'll explore the intriguing and stylish drama of Don't Worry Darling and take a light-hearted turn with the antics from Neighbours.Top 5 Wedding Scenes in Film and Television:The Godfather (1972) - The opening wedding scene sets the tone for this iconic film, showcasing the Corleone family's power dynamics and blending personal joy with business undercurrents. It's a masterclass in how a festive occasion can be layered with narrative depth.Four Weddings and a Funeral (1994) - This film's exploration of various wedding styles and the emotions they evoke makes each ceremony memorable. It perfectly captures the humor, awkwardness, and tenderness of weddings, making it a classic in the romantic comedy genre.Game of Thrones - "The Red Wedding" (Season 3, Episode 9) - Perhaps one of the most shocking wedding scenes ever filmed, the Red Wedding was a pivotal moment in the series, filled with treachery and heartbreak, leaving a lasting impact on viewers and characters alike.Crazy Rich Asians (2018) - This film features a stunningly beautiful wedding scene that combines traditional elements with lavish modern details, set to a haunting cover of "Can't Help Falling in Love." It's visually captivating and emotionally charged, reflecting the film's themes of love and family expectations.My Big Fat Greek Wedding (2002) - This wedding is a joyful, chaotic celebration of Greek culture, packed with comedic moments and touching on themes of cultural identity and familial bonds.

I love what I do, and it's a privilege and an honor to do it. I feel such a duty to report on things that happen in my community, in my backyard, in your backyard. -Maria Stephanos Maria Stephanos is a household name in Boston and beyond. This interview was taped in between newscasts at WCVB, Channel 5, www.wcvb.com where she anchors the 4:30, 6:00, 7:00, and 11:00 PM newscasts. And for good measure, Maria also anchors the 10:00 PM news on sister station MeTVBoston. A devoted mother, this high-energy, high-empathy woman has been honing her craft for 30 years and says that going to bed at midnight is simply routine. Born and raised in the little town of Groveland, MA, Maria recalls an idyllic childhood where she would climb trees and skate in the woods in a town with no traffic light. Her heritage is Greek (think My Big Fat Greek Wedding), and laughter, passion, loyalty, and hard work were hard-wired into the family dynamic. A graduate of Emerson College with bachelor's and master's degrees in Mass Communications, Maria got her start on the radio as a statehouse reporter and credits that experience with teaching her how to tell compelling stories. In this interview, she reveals that a scratch ticket and a conversation with a colleague propelled her toward television, and she's been there ever since. On the air for massive news events like 9/11 and the Boston Marathon bombings, Maria takes us behind the scenes, painting a picture of what it is really like to be a responsible, compassionate journalist in the middle of a tragedy. When asked about role models, she quickly names her mother, offering one of her parent's golden rules: “Don't judge people. You never know what they are going through.” In this interview, we come to know WCVB's Maria Stephanos not only as a beloved news anchor but also as a daughter, sister, wife, mother, friend, mentor, and running enthusiast. She's the real deal. Go ahead and hit that download button. #journalist #television #news #mothersday

OPA! We are 3/3 on getting the podcast out on Wednesday for 2024, and soon we're gonna gaslight you into thinking that was the release date all along. Now let me tell you how the word "gaslight" is Greek. Anyway. This week we're sorting all your favs from My Big Fat Greek Wedding, which of course includes Toula, Ian, Gus, Maria and Voula. Plus a little Paris and all of the other cousins, because it's a big family and why not. This episode you'll hear a lot about Rachel's childhood cultural trauma (which are somehow at the same time her most treasured memories, go figure) and use jumping around from character to character like it's a Greek circus. Put some Windex on it and enjoy.
Nia Vardalos from My Big Fat Greek Wedding (1, 2 AND 3!) stops by Woo Woo to talk to Rachel and Irene (in Greek of course) about her uncanny ability to predict her own life events. It's pretty cool and may just want to make you run out and get a Moleskine notebook of your own! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

-What does codependency look like in women attempting to date outside their culture? -How can codependency with your family prevent you from dating outside your culture (and what are the short- and long-term consequences?) -If you do date interculturally, what should you be prepared to navigate from the reactions/response from your family? Welcome to Episode 157! This week, I'm joined by Noura Bermudez, LMFT, to explore codependency in women who date outside their culture (a.k.a. dating interculturally). Noura opens up about her own experience being codependent with her father and what that relationship was like to navigate when she started to date (and eventually marry!) outside her culture despite his disapproval. Noura describes what codependency looks like in women and their families when they begin to attempt to date interculturally and the consequences of this. You'll hear Noura list what women should be prepared to navigate if their families respond with judgment, shame, prejudice, and threats to disown them. We conclude with steps you can take to cultivate your own autonomy in these situations. It's a must-listen!

More on this week's guest: Noura Bermudez is a mindfulness-based therapist who helps women in intercultural relationships experiencing rejection and/or disownment by their parents, live authentically and confidently with the choices they have made about dating. Has experience working with Middle Eastern women with immigrant parents. Practicing therapy for 10 years and has a private practice in CA. www.bermudeztherapy.com www.instagram.com/bermudeztherapy/ More deets on the episode: We begin with hearing Noura's definition of codependency: when someone has to sacrifice their authenticity to have or maintain a connection. Seen when someone disowns themselves or a part of themselves, disowns their needs for something the want–love, approval, affection, etc. Noura emphasizes how there is a perk or benefit to our codependency–we just usually aren't conscious of it. Noura opens up about codependency in her own life, including in her relationship with her father. She describes growing up and trying to meet his expectations and standards as a Muslim. This led to her keeping her dating life a secret from him since she dated outside her Muslim and Middle Eastern culture. She ended up marrying outside her culture and, while this put a strain on her relationship with her father, she was eventually able to heal it by putting intentional distance in their relationship and through conversations. We shift gears to Noura's specialty: dating interculturally! She describes what codependency with family can look like in women who date outside their culture: living a secret life, hiding, secrecy, yearning for her family's approval, not feeling okay until the parents' feel okay, strain in the relationship, feelings like resentment, and attempts to convince/negotiate with family to approve of their partner. Sounds like My Big Fat Greek Wedding, yes??? Noura lists the short- and long-term consequences of codependency in these women, including sadness, a sense of grief, abandonment, underlying unhappiness, and attempts to conform to the family's expectations by dating within the culture. Noura's opinion: codependency and conforming with family's expectations is not sustainable. Noura encourages women who want to date outside their culture to prepare for their family having their own reaction, getting in touch with their values and their ‘why,' leaning on their support system, and inviting conversations. For the harsher realities like racism, prejudice, and disownment that may come when attempting to date outside one's culture, Noura encourages seeking professional help, setting boundaries, and cultivating one's own autonomy. We conclude with Noura emphasizing how radical acceptance, intentional distance, and having conversations with family can help the most in these situations. Thanks for coming on Noura! And thank you for being here, dear listener! PLEASE: Rate. Review. Subscribe. Share. We need more ratings on Spotify! TY! www.codependummy.com See you next week!
