But all the relatives against Meredith had already been set by Everett's sister, Emmy. She met her brother's bride before everyone else and firmly decided that Meredith had no right to be a part of their family.

And now the bride of Everett appears on the threshold of the Stone House. She tries to be polite, to take part in the Christmas preparations. But Emmy and Everett's mother ridicule any petty quirk of Meredith, because of every nonsense they make a scandal. In despair, Meredith calls for help from her sister - but then a new blow awaits her: Everett falls in love with Julie, and the Stone family is more attracted to her sister than to Meredith herself.

In desperation the frustrated bride gets drunk with the groom's brother and wakes up in his bed in the morning. Relations in the family Stonov intertwine in a tight tangle. And only when Meredith, sobbing, decides to express everything that she thinks about this family - only then the Stones get to her with compassion and sympathy.

"Hello to the family": actors. S.D. Parker in the role of Meredith

Sarah Jessica was born into a large Jewish family. Already at 11 years the future Hollywood star began performing on Broadway in the musical "Innocent".

Sarah Jessica Parker experienced an irresistible craving for acting. But still she always felt responsible for the family, so so early started earning the first money in theatrical productions.

Since 1979, Parker is acting in films. The press started talking about her only in 1984, when the actress got into an affair with Robert Downey Jr. Coincidence or not, but just in this period, Sarah's career went dramatically uphill. Especially popular was the comedy "Honeymoon in Las Vegas," in which Parker starred alongside Nicolas Cage.

The turning point in the career of the performer was participation in the project "Sex and the City". The series received the status of a cult and made Sarah a real world celebrity. Just after the end of filming "Sex in the City" Parker was invited to the main role in the comedy "Hello Family."

Actors Parker and Mulroney played a love couple in the project of Thomas Bezuchi. The heroine of Sarah Jessica fell into disgrace with the family of her own groom. Only a strange combination of circumstances, in which Meredith suddenly turned out to be the girl of the younger brother of Everett, and Everett decided to marry Meredith's sister, reconciled the warring parties.
