It's been 14 years since "My Big Fat Greek Wedding" became a sleeper box-office hit. Now Nia Vardalos, Lainie Kazan, Andrea Martin and Joey Fatone visit TODAY to talk about reuniting for "My Big Fat Greek Wedding 2." Vardalos, who also wrote the screenplay, says it's her fault it took 14 years for a sequel to arrive, because she wanted to write it after BECOMING a mother.

Later, the cast play a lively round of "Stories from the Set," seeing how their answers match on such questions as who made the most bloopers and who does the most convincing Greek accent. Watch clips from the appearance below!
