Toula builds confidence and uses her computer and tourist knowledge to help her Aunt Voula’s business. They fall in love, but Toula fabricates a pottery class in order to see Ian. Gus is irritated because Ian does not belong to the Greek Orthodox Church. The Portokalos family is upset when Toula and Ian marry. Gus delivers a moving speech during the wedding reception, and he and Maria present Toula and Ian with a house as a wedding gift. Six years later, Toula and Ian leave their house to accompany their daughter to Greek school, and it is discovered that the house is just next door to Gus and Maria’s.
