California, whose 22-year-old daughter, Annie , returns from Europe, telling them she has decided to marry Bryan MacKenzie , a man from an upper-class family from Bel-Air, despite only knowing each other for three months. The sudden shock turns the warm reunion into a heated argument between George and Annie, but they quickly reconcile in time for Bryan to arrive and meet them. Despite Bryan's good financial status, George takes an immediate dislike to him while his wife, Nina , accepts the young man as a potential son-in-law.
