The One with Ross's Wedding: Part 1

[ComedyFan2010 · 8/10 · 11 August 2011]

This is the first part of the very exciting season finale I didn't like the Joey and Chandler storyline very much. I don't know about anyone else but to me Chandler seemed so out of character. Too grumpy, easy to embarrass not in the mood for fun. Joey was hilarious though. I loved his excitement and especially the map that he had!

It was good how they created a problem of there being no place to get married. But I disliked how Monica was handling it. And the fact that they made it look as if Ross has been wrong. He was absolutely right. First of all not all women are unreasonable idiots dreaming about wedding all their life, it is Monica's character flaw not that of the rest of females. And even if one is like that, she should be put in her place and use some logic, because postponing this wedding over something like that would be a very nasty thing to do. The solution they found for it was pretty sweet though

Phoebe and Rachel have been pretty funny in that time

The Friends go to London

[LadyAmina · 8/10 · 2 January 2015]

Chandler was out of character in this episode; mean and grumpy. Half of the time Joey is irritating when he displays his dimwit behaviour but Chandler and the others mostly ignore it out of affection for him. I love the music used in the London scenes; The Clash's 'LONDON CALLING' and Roger Miller's 'ENGLAND SWINGS'. Emily made me laugh when she didn't understand Ross's signal for time-out. Monica annoyed me with the way she tentatively tried to make Emily switch from Chicken Kiev to Salmon because it would be 'more elegant.' Order Salmon at YOUR OWN wedding, Monica! And what sort of idea is postponing the wedding for another time, instead of finding another place for the ceremony? Monica can be such a fool and I was furious her idea made Ross and Emily argue. But Ross arranging the half demolished hall as best as he could and then showing it to Emily was very sweet. I also liked the surprise cameo by the Virgin Group founder, Richard Branson. My brothers admire him so they were astonished when I called them over to see him play the role of a vendor who sells a hat to Joey. Joey was funny with the map thing and then bumping into Fergie, Duchess of York who was friendly at first but then beat a hasty retreat when Joey, being Joey starts to hit on her. Rachel is PLAIN selfish, it's harsh but true. First she's jealous about Ross and Emily then pretended she's not, refused to go to London with the others and finally realises she still loves Ross, packing her bag to go and stop the wedding, even though she knew very well Ross loved Emily. I was not pleased with that.

London Baby

[devashishparnami · 10/10 · 15 November 2018]

Even before they leave the apartment, Joey drives Chandler crazy by forgetting everything useful, even his passport, but crying every five seconds "London, baby!", and photographing absolutely everything all the time, as if 6 hours on an airplane with Monica weren't bad enough. Emily was already a nervous wreck, but when she and Ross show Monica her dream site for the wedding that hall is already torn down, ahead of schedule! Ross hears Monica made her consider postponing and freaks out about their parents and transatlantic guests; she answers then they better call it off altogether. Back home, Phoebe makes Rachel realize how much she still loves Ross, so she helps her make up her mind, but warns her it's too late to get Ross back- yet Rachel rushes to London. When Joey insists to buy and wear an ostentatious Union Jack souvenir hat, Chandler refuses to spend the rest of the day thus; instead of being lost and miserable, Joey has a great afternoon, even photographed with Fergie.

London

[vivianla · 12 December 2020]

Joey takes a photo of Chandler to capture the moment. They are all with their suitcases and Monica is worried about time. Rachel wears a beautiful spaghetti-strap dress with diamond jewellery.

They go to London and Chandler and Joey share a room with separate beds. Monica is so funny and pretty. The couple goes to the venue but their building is being demolished early.

Ross wants the wedding anyways but Emily wants to postpone it. Ross disagrees which angers Emily. Ross goes to the guys' room where Mon is. Mon wears black pants and a tight athletic zip-up which shows off her figure. Mon says they have been dreaming about their weddings since they were kids.

Rachel has her suitcase and things. She plans on telling Ross her feelings.

Off to London init

[safenoe · 8/10 · 22 April 2024]

I became a fan of Friends when it debuted in 1994, so that's 30 years ago, and Friends lives on through re-runs and re-runs and this I understand brings large amounts of syndication coin for the stars. I must admit, I watched the first five or so seasons, but after that I lost interest as we approached the millennium. Anyway, following the tradition of Family Ties going to London, we have the Friends and Emily heading off to London, and Sarah Ferguson guest stars as herself. Anyway, does Ross marry Emily we wonder, and we have to wait till the start of season five to find out, so we get to see London in the meantime.

HATE RACHEL

[cbatukilic · 7/10 · 7 November 2019]

Okay. Rachel is going to ruin Ross's wedding. I H A T E R A C H E L S O M U C H.

London baby!

[studioAT · 5/10 · 23 June 2017]

Due its success in this country it was no surprise to see 'Friends' cashing in on it, by staging its fourth series finale there.

And people are a bit divided by it, even to this day.

I agree with previous reviewers that Chandler is acting out of character here, with no real reason why he should be so grumpy. Matt Le Blanc though is great fun as Joey.

David Schwimmer is at the centre of things, and he plays out the highly farcical plotting of the situation well. Helen Baxendale as Emily sadly fares less well, and it's wrong that you will Rachel to get to London rather than for Emily and Ross to be together.

A good start to the two parter.
