- Phoebe tries to help Rachel deal with her feelings for Ross as the rest of the gang head to London for Ross and Emily's wedding.
- 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, but back in the hotel room gets really homesick after phoning Phoebe and watching Cheers on TV. After explaining to Ross the obsessive focus of girls on their wedding, Monica comes with a solution: a romantic make-over of the hall's ruin...—KGF Vissers
- The friends are leaving for Ross and Emily's wedding in London. Phoebe and Rachel stay at home. Ross really wants Rachel there at his wedding but Rachel lies to Ross about having to work. The building where Ross and Emily were supposed to get married is torn down so they think about postponing but don't after all. Rachel realizes she still loves Ross and goes to London to tell him.—Anonymous
- The group heads off to Ross's wedding in London, leaving behind a heavily pregnant Phoebe (Lisa Kudrow), and Rachel (Jennifer Aniston), who has declined the invitation because it would be too hard for her to see her ex-boyfriend get married. Monica is hyper about leaving for London and wants everything to go perfectly. She packs everything diligently. Meanwhile Joey starts annoying Chandler by saying "London, Baby" a lot. Before leaving Ross hugs Rachel, and begs her to come to London for the wedding. The gang lands in London.
In London, Joey (Matt LeBlanc) and Chandler (Matthew Perry) go see the sights in a musical montage featuring The Clash's song "London Calling", with Joey filming everything on his camcorder. Chandler becomes embarrassed by his friend's enthusiasm (The Westminister Abbey where Joey chases Chandler down), and after Joey buys a large Union Flag hat from a vendor (Richard Branson), they part company. They reunite in their hotel room and Chandler apologizes. Joey impresses him with a video recording with Sarah, Duchess of York (who plays herself), but quickly becomes homesick after a phone call from Phoebe (she had ordered Pizza, the joey special (2 pizzas)).
Emily takes Monica (Courteney Cox) and Ross to the church where the wedding will be, but they discover it is being demolished earlier than originally scheduled. She already had enough trouble with the caterer changing the menu at the last minute, the florist being out of tulips and the cellist has the carpal tunnel syndrome. Seeing the church being demolished, just pushes her over the edge. Monica later suggests Emily postpone the wedding until everything is perfect, while Ross was working with Emily's father to find a new venue at short notice. She passes the thought on to Ross, angering him; he tells her people have flown from America to be there and that it is "now or never"; she chooses "never". Monica berates Ross (when Ross confronts her for the idea of postponing the wedding) for his insensitivity (she makes him realize that Emily has been planning this wedding since she was 5 yrs old. Planning the perfect place, the perfect cake and the perfect guy who understood how important all that other stuff was) and Ross apologizes to Emily, showing her the ceremony can still take place in the half-demolished hall that he has tidied up. She agrees when she sees that Ross is being super supportive.
In New York, Rachel realizes she still loves Ross, and is further taken aback that the entire group apart from Ross knew about it. Rachel goes shopping to help herself get over Ross. Phoebe tries to help Rachel get over her feelings for Ross (by showing her a picture of Ross and thinking about all his flaws), but to no avail. Phoebe then tries aversion therapy, she shows Rachel a picture of Ross and then slaps her to experience the pain. Rachel soon decides to fly to London to tell him she loves him, ignoring Phoebe's protests. Rachel says its not over until someone says "I Do"..
