Will (Will Smith) is asked to be best man at the wedding of his Aunt Janice (Charlayne Woodard)--only to be forbidden from attending the ceremony by his domineering mother Vy (Vernee Watson-Johnson). The reason is both simple and sad: Vy has just learned to her horror that Janice's fiance is a white man (played by future Drew Carey Show regular Diedrich Bader). Vy's anger overflows during the wedding itself, which has a profound effect on the rest of the family. (Ironically, in real life several of the cast members of The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air were the children of biracial parents, or were themselves in biracial relationships.)
