Set against the turbulent relationship between the U.S. and Iran, Iranian-American filmmaker Marjan Tehrani captures the struggle and excitement of Alex and Heather as they plan a Persian Islamic wedding in Iran.

that lady is 300% right!! how can a country with that poor economical situation and after 5-6 years of sanction threaten another country in another continent?!

Funny but true. Groom's mom is right but something is fishy here. The bride's parents are from Berkeley. Berkley residents are 200% anti-Bush and anti-war but the bride's father supports Iraq war?!
