It's been over three decades since the Banks family made their way into the hearts of moviegoers and the flick became an instant rom-com classic. "Father of the Bride," based on the 1950 film of the same name, was made up of an all-star cast that included Steve Martin and Diane Keaton, among many others. It inspired its own sequel as well as a 2020 reunion, which saw the entire cast come back together for a charitable cause. Now as HBO Max premieres a modern-day remake of the beloved film, it's the perfect time to look back on what the original cast has been up to since "Father of the Bride" debuted in 1991. Find out what's going on with the cast now…
