Ross announces that the wedding is in 4 weeks. Rachel asks Joshua to marry her and he says ... no! Joshua breaks up with Rachel and Rachel realizes she isn't handling Ross plans for the future too well because she always thought they would be together.

User Reviews

Great overall!

Chandler is funny as usual. Even extra funny with his looks after coming straight from the bed: his hair tangled, his irritated look! Amazing Actor! Joey :thumbs up:! Phoebe: pregnant! Need I say more? Monica: Obsessive.  Wah-Pah! Hysterical. Rachel : extravagant. Ross: idiot. Seriously great lines but acting could use some work. Which is sad since we know his most recent income was from Madagascar 3 as Melman! Aniston is brilliant as usual in 'suppressing her jealousy' act. Monica looks hideous in Emily's dress. Joey snores annoyingly. Another good piece of acting. Hysterical performance by Kudrow. Cox tries very hard though. The story is nicely written with humor dissolved in rightly and timely. I loved this episode utterly. My Rating: 8/10.
