One of the many tired
comedic conventions that has spawned
chick-flicks like
While you were sleeping and
comedies like
HouseSitter. (I'm actually rather fond of the
latter.) Usually involves the guy's
family being all happy that he's married, which leaves them stuck, then they end up in love,
yadda.
