    • Trivia
      Family is a big theme in this episode. As Nomi is giving a beautiful and moving maid of honor speech for her sister at the rehearsal dinner, she says the lines, "What family actually means..." which is also the title to the episode.
    • Quotes

      Nomi Marks: The night before I went into the hospital was the longest and the loneliest I've ever felt in my life. But no one stopped me. When I woke up the first thing I felt was Teagan's hand holding mine. Her smile was the first thing I saw. And her voice singing "Happy Birthday" was the first thing I heard. It was in that moment my sister taught me what "family" actually means.
