Liz and Chris get married in a fun episode where Liz dresses up as Princess Leia in a wedding registry. Tony Bennett makes a guest appearance as himself towards the end in a touching episode.

I'm finally getting around to watching the final few episodes of the finale season! I've started watching The Good Place and Community, but I feel an obligation to wrap up 30 Rock.

It's easy to forget that 30 Rock and Aaron Sorkin's Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip debuted on NBC at the same time. Conventional wisdom was that Sorkin's powerhouse series be the one that would survive the first season, with 30 Rock being a one season wonder. But history has proved otherwise.

Chris starts to change the wedding plans and Liz has to tell him that she is starting to get more into weddings but still holding her old ideas. Liz ditches her plans and now wants her dream wedding. Tracey gets hit by a cab and starts to lose it talking to Jack as a women. Liz rushes home and we see everyone get ready for her wedding. Her white dress is the princess Leia dress.

Mazel Tov, Dummies! (#7.7)

When they see that even Denis and his wife got a baby adopted Liz and Criss decide that marriage may be the right way to go and go to city hall. Liz refuses it to be a special day to boycott wedding industry but later starts thinking that maybe she wants one. Jenna meets a guy who after an old commercial was collecting points and now had enough to own her. And Tracy is healthy which he doesn't like.

The wedding story was pretty great. It is not very original when it comes to main idea, it seems to be a common thing on TV show to have a woman who is against special weddings change her mind. One would be Phoebe from Friends, seems the only one who stuck to her plan was Miranda (SATC). It is as if the TV is payed by wedding industry. But no matter what it was done awesome. The dress Liz wore and how she did her hair ("I am a princess!") was wonderful! Or the small Liz talking about wedding annulment with her teddy bear. Or that teeth ring Criss got. It is great all the time. Absolutely well done.

I like also the Jenna story and especially when Jack negotiates her worth with the guy!
