This was one of the many arguments in this episode were actually based on Monica Horan, the actress who played Amy and her husband, Phil Rosenthal, the executive producer. According to Monica, she was crying then laughing then crying as she watched the episode, as it reminded her of her own similar experience with her husband. In fact, many of Debra's lines were based on what Monica has said to people.
When Debra is yelling at Ray for recording she makes reference to how he taped football over their wedding video. This event, unlike all the others she mentions, appeared in a previous episode, specifically The Tenth Anniversary (2000)
