Brooke Shields on Benjamin Bratt's role and wife's visit
In a recent interview about the exclusive preview of Mother of the Bride, Waters, 59, explained to PEOPLE that Bratt's broad appeal made him the perfect fit for the leading role of Will.
"I've noticed that romantic comedies often feature male leads who other men don't universally like," he explained. "As a man, I wanted someone who both women and men, relatable and likeable, would believe."
Brooke Shields, also a producer on the film, told PEOPLE that Benjamin Bratt is effortlessly charming as a love interest. She also expressed joy over Bratt's wife, Talisa Soto, joining the shoot in Thailand.
"She's a refined, beautiful woman," the 58-year-old actress remarked. "She perfectly embodies that, and I was thrilled she chose to join us for the initial part of filming."

Miranda Cosgrove, 30, told PEOPLE that during the six weeks of filming in Thailand, the cast spent almost every day together. She noted that being far from home in a new place allowed them to get to know each other quickly.
For Brooke Shields, filming with her castmates felt akin to theater due to being thrust into a foreign environment together. They were constantly in each other's company.
"We all stayed together, which was great. Our accommodations were close to each other," Brooke Shields explained.
