American Pie 3: Why So Many Characters Didn't Return For American Wedding
The third movie in the American Pie franchise, American Wedding, reunited the main group for Jim and Michelle’s wedding, except for a couple of characters that played big roles in the first movies – and here’s why they didn’t return for the wedding.

The biggest event in the series was, of course, Jim and Michelle’s wedding, for which they reunited with their closest friends, though many characters, such as Casey Affleck, did not return.
