User Reviews

I loved this episode!

This is one of my favorite episodes in the series. Mainly because of Raymond's acting during the actual wedding service - it is hilarious and adorable at the same time.

The episode starts with Ray and Debra going for marriage counseling. Deep down, Ray doesn't think he deserves pretty Debra and that she must be marrying just so she can have her big wedding. Ray's responses to the priest's questions unnerve the priest and he finally makes excuses to leave early - because "Oh good, I have a funeral to do!" After the priest leaves, Debra goes insane as she is known to do. She's a great actress.

The best part starts when Ray is getting ready for the ceremony. His Dad comes back to the dressing room and gives Ray a bottle of "hootch", to calm the nerves. Ray doesn't want to accept it, but Frank leaves it anyways. Then, it cuts to the actual ceremony. All the groomsmen are at the altar and Robert wonders where Ray is, as Debra is about to walk down the aisle. Just then, Ray appears at the side entrance and comes to the altar with a real sheepish grin and stupid look on his face. You immediately think he is drunk.

Then Debra appears at the back doors of the church. Ray is struck by how beautiful she is, and begins running and skipping down the aisle to get her - instead of waiting for her "wedding march". There are more hilarious antics at the altar and you are convinced he is drunk.

Then it shifts to the reception. Frank comes to the newlyweds table and comment on Ray's "peformance". Debra says she thought he was cute. Frank laughs and says, "Oh, okay. I think I'll go to the bar and get cute myself!". It is then that Debra realizes Ray was drunk - or was her? I'll save the answer for you to see yourself. This is a real cute episode of the start of Ray & Debra's marriage - one of the best!
