You guys, hurry up. The flight leaves in four hours.
It could take time to get a taxi. There could be traffic.
The plane could leave early, when we get to London
there could be a line at customs!
Come on!
Six-hour trip to London.
That's a lot of Monica.
Passport. Check.
Camera. Check.
Traveler's checks. Check.
Who are you saying check to?
Myself. You know, for remembering to pack the thing.
You know, you do a good thing, you get a "check".
My mom does it. I never realized it was weird.
Hey, my mom used to put her head in the oven, so..
Oh, actually, she only did it the one time..
...but, it's pretty weird.
- Hey. - Hey.
- Hey, are you ready yet? - Yep.
- You got the tickets? - Oh, got them right here.
Check.
It's all London, baby.
Here we go.
You got your passport?
Yeah. In my third drawer in my dresser.
You don't want to lose that.
- Oh! - There it is.

Okay, if you need the vacuum
it's in my closet on the left hand side.
Uh, the garbage bags are next to the refrigerator.
Okay, but, um, Rachel's gonna be here too.
Can't I just ask her this stuff?
[scoffs] Yeah, okay, give that a try.
Alright, let's do it.
Yeah, cheerio.
London, baby.
Okay, 'cause that's not gonna get annoying.
London, baby!
You know what? I was wrong.
Well, we're all here. I guess we should get going.
Oh, I wanna come over there and give you a hug
and wish you luck on your wedding
but I don't.. Can't get up.
- Well, I'll-I'll come hug you. - Great, yeah.
Could you bring me the newspaper?
Yeah.
Have a great wedding.
- Oh. - Thanks.
Hey, Chandler, I wanna hug you, too.
- Hey. - Oh, and great.
You might as well bring me my book.
It's on the counter in your apartment.
Oh.
So, we're off.
- Have fun. - Thanks.
- Mm. - Oh.
I can't believe you're not gonna be there.
- I know. - So, so...come.
- Why don't you come? - What?
To London. Come to London, please.
It would mean so much to me.
Yeah, well, I gotta to work. I'm sorry.
Oh. Why can't you take a couple of days off?
Because I can't, Ross.
I told you, no, I can't.
This is my wedding.
Alright, you know what. Now we really are late.
Let's go! Let's go! Let's go!
Fine. You'll-you'll watch it on video when we get back.
(Chandler) Here you go, Phoebe.
Here you go, Pho-bo, Phoo-bila, Phee-be-boo.
Thank you.
[giggles]
You.
Alright. Let's go.
- Bye, Pheebs. - Bye, Pheebs.
- Goodbye. - Bye.
(Joey) London, baby!
Oh, God.
Oh, do you need a hug?
You don't have to bring me anything.

Alright, Chandler, do something.
Come on, do something.
I am. I'm ignoring you.
Okay, here. I'm gonna be the on-camera guy.
Alright, first stop..
...Westminster Abbey.
- Oh, what the hell is that? - That's London, baby.
Alright, the hotel's here.
Wait.
No. We want to go..
No.
I know.
I'm gonna have to go into the map.
Okay, if you see a little version of me in there
kill it.
I got it.
Here we go.
Okay, listen, listen.
We're not gonna have to walk this way
the entire time, are we?
Shh.
Oh, man, you made me lose it.
[instrumental music]
And that was all before 10 o'clock.
The caterer rang to say it's gonna be
chicken Kiev instead of chicken tarragon.
And then the florist phoned to say that there
aren't any tulips, oh, and then the cellist
has carpal tunnel syndrome.
Whoa, whoa, whoa. Emily, honey, okay.
Well, up yours, too.
What?
- No, no, that's-that's timeout. - Sorry.
- Sweetie, you gotta relax. - Sorry.
Everything's gonna be great, okay?
Come on, come on.
- Chicken Kiev? - Mm-hm.
Doesn't that sound delicious at the last minute?
I know, but something like salmon
would just...it-it would be so much more elegant than chicken..
...and you wouldn't have to worry about the salmonella.
Oh, God.
So I can't wait to see where you're getting married.
Yes, yes, yes.
This place is beautiful.
Emily's parents got married here.
I still can't believe they're tearing it down.
It really is the most lovely building you'll ever see.
I mean, it's over..
Oh, my God.
It's nice.
Oh. Oh, my God!
Oh. Oh, my God.
How can this be happening? What are we gonna do?
It's alright. Everything's gonna be alright.
How is it gonna be alright?
Uh-huh, I see that.
Okay, I talked to the guy
with the shovel and I found out what happened.
- What? - What?
They tore it down a few days early.
[instrumental music]
Alright..
...Westminster Abbey.
Hands down, best abbey I've ever seen.
Hey.
Okay.
What do you think of the abbey, Chandler?
I think it's great, it's great, you know, they're thinking
of changing the name of this place.
- Really? To what? - To put the camera away!
Man, you are Westminster crabby.
[instrumental music]
- Oh. - No, honey, don't get up.
- What do you need? - Uh, no, um, nothing.
Come on, I am here to take care of you.
What do you need? Anything.
Okay. I have a wedgie.
Okay, that is all you.
(Phoebe) So..
...so what do you want for lunch?
Oh, I don't know.
I guess we have to eat.
Yeah, I do. I'm..
What's the matter?
I'm just bummed the way I left things with Ross.
Wish I didn't lie to him about having to work.
Seems so mad at me.
Oh, yeah, don't be so hard on yourself.
If someone I was still in love with was getting married--
Still in love with?
Yeah.
I'm not in love with Ross.
Oh.
No, no. Good.
Yeah, me neither.
Phoebe, I'm not going to Ross' wedding
because he's my ex-boyfriend
and that would be really uncomfortable.
Not because I'm still in love with him.
I mean, hey, you know, I like Ross as much as the next guy.
You know, clearly, I have feelings for him
but feelings don't mean love.
You know, I mean, do I still have loving feelings for Ross?
You know..
...yeah!
But I have, I have continuing feelings of love
but that doesn't mean that-that I'm still in love with him.
You know, I mean, I have, I have sexual feelings for him
but I do love him.
[gasps]
Oh, my God.
Oh, my...why didn't you tell me?
W-we thought you knew.
- "We?" - Yeah, we all know.
We talk about it all the time.
You all know? Does Ross know?
Oh, no. Ross doesn't know anything.
Oh, I cannot believe you didn't tell me!
Well, 'cause we thought you knew.
It's so obvious.
God, it-it would be like, you know, telling Monica
"Hey, you know, you like things clean."
[instrumental music]
- Hi. - So.
What are you fine gentlemen in the market for?
We got, uh, scarves
souvenir postcards.
Check this out, huh?
Oh, yeah.
That's the stuff. What do you think?
Well, I'm not gonna have to buy that
"I'm with stupid" t-shirt anymore.
Well, I like it. Here you go.
Alright, look. You're not really gonna buy that, are you?
Don't you think you've embarrassed me enough today?
Oh, I embarrass you?
How can I answer that when I'm pretending
I don't know you?
He's just jealous. You'll fit right in.
- All Londoners wear them. - Oh, really?
Then how come no one here anywhere is wearing one?
They're all tourists.
Alright, look, if you insist on wearing that in public
you know, you're gonna spend the rest of the afternoon
all by yourself.
Oh, yeah?
If you're gonna make me choose between you and the hat..
...I choose the hat.
- Good choice. - Thanks.
Okay, look.. Alright, that's it.
Okay? I'm out of here.
I'm not gonna be embarrassed anymore.
[instrumental music]
- Hello? - Hey.
I just spoke to your dad and you know what?
He seems to think we'll be able to find
a new place for the wedding.
We don't have to.
Wh-wh-what, you found a place?
No, but..
...Monica and I were talking
and-and...I was so upset
about the hall being knocked down
and she suggested that we just..
...put the wedding off for a bit.
She said what?
She said if I'm not gonna be happy getting married
somewhere that we can find in a day
well, then, we should just postpone it.
[chuckles]
Postpone it?
[chuckles]
Emily, do you think Monica realizes
how much our parents spent on this wedding, huh?
Do you think my sister's teeny, tiny, little brain, comprehends
that people took time out of their lives
to fly thousands of miles to be here, huh?
This isn't right.
I realize that people are gonna be disappointed..
But I'm sure they'll come back when we can do it right.
Well, I can't ask people to do that.
Would you ask people to do that?
Don't you point your pants at me.
We have no choice. Uh..
Anywhere that's half-decent will have been booked months ago.
Ross, don't you understand, this is our wedding
I'm talking about.
The only thing I understand
is postponing it is not an option.
This is when we're getting married.
So, what you're saying it's now or never?
No, I'm saying it's now.
- Or? - There's no "or" in mine.
What is wrong with these pants?
It's not the pants, it's you who's backwards.
And if, and if, you don't understand
how important this is to me, well, then perhaps
we shouldn't be getting married at all.
What? E-Emily, no. Wait. Stop.
Emily, plea..
[squeals]
[instrumental music]
- Hey. - Hi.
So? Did shopping help you feel any better about Ross?
Manhattan does not have enough stores.
Well, I think, I can help you get over him.
- You can? - 'Yeah.'
I just need you to bring me some photos of Ross.
- Okay. - And um..
A small piece of chocolate.
- Okay. - And a glass of tepid water.
Ooh, is this one of those things where you
throw a whole bunch of stuff in a bag with some graveyard dirt
and then hang it from a North-facing tree?
Uh, if only if you have the hiccups, too.
Yeah, the pictures are for you.
The chocolate and the water's for me.
I just didn't feel like getting up.
Okay, I'm gonna show you a picture of Ross, okay?
And you're going to remember all the bad things about him.
Alright? Really focus on his flaws.
I can do that. I certainly did that while we were going out.
[chuckles]
Okay, hmm, before we get started
I just wanna say for the record
that I love Ross. I think he's such a great guy.
[chuckles]
Okay, now, close your eyes..
[sighs]
...and imagine that you're with Ross.
- Um. - Okay.
And imagine that you're kissing him.
And you're-you're running your hands all over his body..
...and then you run your hands through his hair..
But, oh! Eww! Gross!
It's-it's some kind of grease.
It's gross!
Huh?
Well, I don't know.
I don't know, his-his hair never bothered me that much.
And, you know, it was, it was always more crunchy
than it was greasy.
Okay.
This'll be harder than I thought.
Um, let's try some, um-um, aversion therapy.
- Okay. Alright. - Okay? Alright.
So, um, yeah, look at the picture.
- Okay. - Alright.
And, um..
Ow!
Okay. How do you feel now?
Well, I like you less.
[instrumental music]
Hey.
Oh. Sorry.
No-no. You know what? I'm sorry.
I really shouldn't have said
that you were embarrassing me.
I mean, that really wasn't cool.
And if it makes you feel any better
I've had a really lousy day.
- Me, too. - Yeah?
No!
I had the best day ever.
Dude, check this out.
[knocks on door] Hey!
Shh, shh.
Okay, so say hi to my friend and tell him you like my hat.
Okay, so, um, what's your friend's name?
Oh, Chandler.
So, hi, Chandler.
- That, that was.. - Oh.
- Oh, my God. - That's Fergie, baby!
Joey says you don't really like his hat
but I think it's kinda dashing.
When did you? How? How?
Well, I was trying to figure out how to get to
Buckingham Palace, right?
So, I'm in my map, and-and..
Hey.
- Hey. - Hey.
I understand you had a little talk with Emily.
[chuckles] Yes, I did.
And you are welcome.
Am I?
And was it your idea to postpone the wedding?
Um..
- I'm gonna go to the bathroom. - Wait up.
Hey, hey, since you're the fix-it lady
here's a pickle.
What do you do when the bride says
she doesn't wanna have the wedding at all?
- She said that? - Yeah.
- Why? - I don't know.
I told her it was stupid to put off the wedding
just because the hall was gone
and she, like, flipped out.
Oh, my God.
You're even dumber than I am.
Excuse me?
Ross, how long, have you been planning this wedding?
[sighs] I don't know. A month?
Emily has probably been planning it since she was five.
Ever since the first time she took a pillowcase and
hung it off the back of her head.
That's what we did.
We dreamed about the perfect wedding..
...in the perfect place..
...with the perfect four-tiered wedding cake.
With the little people on top.
But the most important part..
...is that we had the perfect guy..
...who understood just how important
all that other stuff was.
I had no idea.
And that-that pillowcase thing?
I thought you guys were just doing the flying nun.
Sometimes we were.
Come on.
You're gonna help me figure out what to do, okay?
- Alright. - Come on.
Oh, pretty intense, huh?
Yeah..
Hey, I hope Ross didn't think we just went in there
because we were uncomfortable being out here.
I hope he did.
[instrumental music]
[telephone ringing]
- Hello. - Hey, Pheebs. It's Joey.
Hey, Joey. Hey, oh.
Oh, I just saw someone
that looks just like you on the subway
and I was gonna go over and say hi
but then I figured, he doesn't care he looks like you.
So..
That just cost me four bucks.
[clears throat] But, uh, listen, uh, I just called
to see how the chick and the duck are doing.
Oh, they're having a great time with their Aunt Phoebe.
Aunt Rachel hasn't been helpful at all.
So do you miss me?
Kinda, but I've just been having way too much fun.
Oh, so you're not homesick yet?
No. I don't think so. I..
Alright, well, the seven of us miss you.
Who's seven?
Well, you know, me, Rachel
the birds, the babies.
Aw, the babies miss me?
[knocks on door] Ooh, pizza guy's here.
What you-you ordered pizza without me?
Yeah, but, you know, we were thinking about you.
You know, we ordered the Joey special.
Two pizzas?
[door closes] Yep. Okay.
Gotta go. Talk to you later.
Oh, wait-wait. Where did you get it from, I..
♪ Where everybody knows your name ♪
♪ And they're always glad you came ♪
♪ You wanna be where you can see ♪
♪ Troubles are all the same ♪
♪ You wanna be where everybody knows your name ♪♪
Monica, why have you brought me here of all places?
You'll see.
I tell you, this wedding is not gonna happen.
Oh, God.
Okay, but-but imagine a lot more lights, okay?
And, and, you know, fewer bricks, and-and..
...and flowers and candles.
Okay and the musicians, look, they can go over here, okay.
And the chairs, they can face this way..
(Monica) And..
...you go.
But, but, if you don't love this
then we'll do it any other place, any other time.
Really, it's fine. Whatever you want.
It's perfect.
And, I don't know, if it starts to rain..
Well, then we'll get wet.
[chuckles]
Aw.
And I don't even have a date.
- 'Pheebs?' - Yeah?
(Rachel) 'Do you remember where the duck food is?'
Yeah, it's in the guys' apartment
under the sink. Why?
Because I'm going to London.
What? What do you mean, you're going to London?
Yeah, I have to tell Ross that I love him. Now, honey..
...you take care. You don't have those babies till I get back.
I don't...Rachel, you can't go.
- Ross loves Emily. - Yeah, I know.
I know, I know he does, but
I-I have to tell him how I feel.
He deserves to have all of the information
and then he can make an informed decision.
That's not why you're going.
You're going because you hope he's gonna say
"Yeah, I love you, too, Rach.
Forget about that British chippy."
[gasps]
- Do you think he will? - No.
Because he's in love with the British chippy.
Look, Rachel, if you go you're just gonna mess with his head
and ruin his wedding.
You know, it's too late.
You missed your chance.
I'm sorry. I know this must be really hard.
It's over.
[sighs]
You know what? No. It's not over until someone says, "I do".
I do!
I do! I do!
I do!
God.
[groans]
Yeah, like I can really chase you.
I'm carrying a litter.
