We’ve reached the middle of the series. Halfway done, halfway to go. After Ross says Rachel, the wedding continues. However, even though they get married, Emily is mortified and flees out of the bathroom window at the reception. The first few episodes see Ross begging Emily to make the relationship work, but after she tells him the only way she will take him back is if he never sees Rachel again, it’s too much to ask and they break up for good. Which if you are counting, that means that Ross has now has two divorces under his belt.

I forgot to mention one MAJOR thing that happened in London before Ross says Rachel. Monica and Chandler hook up! This was completely out of the blue because the two of them had never been that close. Strangely enough they make an adorable couple and continue to date behind their friends’ backs throughout the first half of the season. Slowly everybody starts to find out, and finally they reveal it to the one that was going to be the toughest, Ross. Luckily Monica’s older brother responded happily to the news that his best friend and his sister are in love!

So lets backtrack a little bit. Shortly after the wedding, in the show’s 100th episode, Phoebe had her brother’s babies. Two girls and a boy; Leslie, Chandler, and Frank Jr. Jr., not Frank III… So anyway, after she has the babies, her life goes back to normal. She dates a cop for a while, but that doesn’t end well. Joey and Chandler have to adjust to their new roommate after Ross has to move in with them because he was kicked out of his apartment that he used to share with Emily.

The season ends with the gang going to Las Vegas to visit Joey, whom they thought was working on a movie there. He was actually working in a casino because the movie fell through. Phoebe and Joey are seen throughout the episode galavanting in the casino while Ross and Rachel attempt to find ways to embarrass one another, which results in them ending up wasted in a hotel room. Don’t worry nothing happened!! Anyway, it was Monica and Chandler’s one year anniversary and they decide to get married. Big deal! But, let’s be honest, does eloping in Vegas in television shows EVER end well? The answer for this show, and most TV shows, is no.

When Monica found her something borrowed, blue, old, and new, they head to the chapel. However, they don’t go through with the wedding. When they walk through the doors of the church to find Ross and Rachel celebrating, throwing rice and holding a bouquet of flowers. They should really pass a law in Vegas that doesn’t allow you to get married under the influence….
