Monica and Chandler makes their vows

[Lady_Targaryen · 8/10 · 13 April 2009]

Monica and Chandler are going to marry in four weeks, and they decide to write their personal vows to each other. But they both have difficulties in doing that, and they ask help to different Friends: Chandler asks Joey's and Ross' help, while Monica wants Phoebe's and Rachel's.

When they finally stop to write it, apparently Monica's vows are beautiful, while Chandler's are funny. Chandler ends up stealing Monica's vows and only changing the name on it.

In this episode, some old episodes are shown again, showing Monica's and Chandler relationship beginning to grow to something bigger.

I have mixed feelings about these flashback episodes...

[jkg23 · 6/10 · 7 October 2022]

After watching few of these already, I thought that these are absolutely awful. I mean, for a person who is binge-watching this series in 2022, like I am right now, it seems like a total waste of time, or waste of an episode I should say. It's bascially like watching 4/5 random scenes, from random seasons, on Youtube.

But, if you think about it, for a person who watched this show live, it must have been quite nice to re-watch some of the most hilarious, and memorable scenes of the show. People back then didn't have such things as Youtube to watch scenes, or some kinds of compilations. Besides watching full episodes on DVDs, there was no other way to do that.

So, maybe it wasn't a bad idea to make these after all.

Probably the only reason s7 isn't my favourite season

[brindrobnjak · 7/10 · 20 July 2019]

Season 7 was AMAZING, so why, oh why, did its flashback episode have to be the third worst episode of the show, ever? Unlike some clip shows which I found entertaining (s4, s8 and s10's), this one's quite a drag. There's nothing wrong with it, except that like 98.5% of the episode is filed with clips, and those clips are SO long. Don't know why they had to make the flashbacks so longer, because atleast previous episodes had SOME time where flashbacks aren't being shown, but this one has the longest flashbacks that just drag on and on. So much more could've been done with the episode, but no, they had to make an episode with 1,5 minutes of new material and 21 minutes of clips. Easily one of the most boring episodes of the show-but again, it's not bad, it's only okay, but it is terrible by FRIENDS standards.

yeah...

One of those flashback episodes which you can skip.

The One with the Vows

[ComedyFan2010 · 2/10 · 1 September 2011]

Again one of the bad episodes that is made out of old flashbacks

The only good part is that those flashbacks are mainly from the funniest episode where everyone finds out

We basically get to see the whole story again only shortened

The plot of this episode is very thin

So they do their vows and have trouble to come up with them

yawn

And of course Monica is being nasty at the end again because Chandler's vows are funny and Miss Dictator has no sense of humor and wants everything to be just her way

Flashback episode alert

[studioAT · 1/10 · 8 July 2020]

Another dreary flashback episode basically, with very little new material.

Unless you're really, really keen to see old clips again, this is one to skip.

Reminiscing

[vivianla · 26 December 2020]

This episode recaps Monica and Chandler's relationship.

The gang wonders if the friendship will change after the marriage. Married couples will have kids and befriend other couples with kids. They might move away and live near a Volvo dealership.

Joey says out loud he wants things to stay as they are.
