Legendary actor and comedian Steve Martin’s 1991 classic Father of the Bride aired on ABC on Sunday (July 27, 2025) at 8:35 pm Eastern Time. It was a remake of the 1950 film, which goes by the same name, starring Martin as George Banks. It is a story of a businessman and father who relatably (and hysterically) struggles with the thought of losing his beloved baby girl as his 22-year-old daughter, Annie (Kimberly Williams), announces her engagement and prepares for a lavish wedding.
