<P> George and Nina meet Bryan 's parents , John and Joanna MacKenzie . Though George feels comfort from John also expressing how shocked he had initially been at Bryan 's engagement , he quickly gets into trouble when he begins nosing around and eventually ends up falling into the pool when cornered by the MacKenzies ' vicious pet Dobermans . All is forgiven , however , and the Banks meet with an eccentric European wedding coordinator , Franck Eggelhoffer ( Martin Short ) and his assistant , Howard Weinstein ( B.D. Wong ) , where George immediately begins complaining about the price of the extravagant wedding items . The high price , $250 a head , plus the problems of wedding invitations begin to take their toll on George and he becomes slightly insane . The last straw occurs when his wrongly sized suit , which he had struggled to put on , rips when he bends his back . He leaves the house to cool off , but ends up causing a disturbance at the supermarket . Fed up with paying for things he does n't want , he starts removing hot dog buns from their 12 - bun packets so as to match the 8 - dog packets of hot dogs . He ends up getting arrested , but Nina arrives to bail him out on the condition that he stop ruining the wedding . </P>
