After the brilliant season finale, the first episode of the 5th season doesn't disappoint.

The beginning when Ross is trying to clear things with Emily and to make the party happen were funny. Especially when he tells Joey to dance and he starts dancing in his weird way

One of the best parts is to see Chandler and Monica trying to find a place where they can have sex while in Londin because what happens in London doesn't count. Everyone is ruining it for them! Even on the plane. And again we see that this will go on because they can't stop even when coming home

And the ending of this episode is pretty cool again. It keeps it exciting

I love this episode. I think Ross was so completely stupid for saying Rachel's name at his own wedding. My God, how dumb is he? Really. The answer is really.

In this episode, we pick up right where Season 4 left off. After Ross and Emily's wedding. He tries to get Emily to forgive him, instead she climbs out the window of the bathroom, at her own wedding reception. Just like Rachel did at her wedding, but before. Ross is devastated and tries to convince Rachel that he didn't mean to say her name. But we all know he did. Monica and Chandler are trying to hookup again, before they have to leave London. They think it will only work if they do it there, then stop when they get home, and pretend it never happened. But they never seem to get the chance. Something always interrupts them. At the end of the episode, Ross goes to the airport, hoping Emily will show up for their flight for their honeymoon. Instead, Rachel shows up to tell him that she loves him. And they agree to go on the honeymoon together. Rachel goes to get on the plane, and then Emily shows up. Ross runs after her, and abandons Rachel on a plane to Greece. What a douche.

Overall, I give this episode a 9 out of 10.

Ross and Emily are getting married, but Ross says Rachel's name when he is saying the vows. After this incident, Emily stays angry with Ross and escapes from him in their wedding night, not even participating the party.

Phoebe tries to help Ross by telephone, but she only has success in talking with Emily's mother.

Chandler and Monica are still sleeping together.

Joey decides to eat meat again in London, spite of the promise he did to Phoebe.

Ross stays stressed searching for Emily and telling her how sorry he feels, but he doesn't have any success finding her.

He eventually invites Rachel to go travel with him, since he needs to spend his Honeymoon's package with someone, but Emily arrives in the airport when Ross is almost traveling with her. Emily stays angry again and Ross runs after her, letting Rachel in the airport alone.

Emily, embarrassed by the encounter at the alter, runs away and Ross tries to find her. Chandler and Monica try to get alone time together, but it will be harder than thought to get privacy. Rachel thinks that the reason Ross said her name at the altar is that he loves her, much to Monica's denial.

From previous eps, she advised Emily to postpone wedding and cancel everyone's trip to London just because the place where wedding is thrown is in demolition. That shows her lack of understanding and love towards Ross. Even when Ross is going through horrible time of his life during wedding, the only thing Monica is thinking is to find a chance to have sex with Chandler. How is that a sister? Yet in the end she told Chandler she was going through a hard time in London, how funny is that?

For some reason series 5 is my least favourite series of 'Friends', and this episode doesn't really get it off to a good start.

Joey and Phoebe are largely side-lined as the drama surrounding Ross and Emily post wedding takes centre stage.

David Schwimmer felt his characters mad dash to the altar was out of character, and so is Ross's behaviour here. I don't believe he would have got on the flight to Athens with Rachel, that seemed far fetched to me.

The Monica and Chandler story is well played out, but other than that this is a largely forgettable episode.

Ross says Rachel instead of Emily. After the ceremony Emily goes inside the honeymoon suite upset.

Chandler and Monica want to have sex in the wine cellar. They keep having people around them disrupting their plans though. They go to rooms to see if they can do it for 5 minutes. At last they go to the honeymoon suite. Chandler says the room expects sex and it won't get any from Ross and Emily.

Chandler and Monica have a passionate kiss back at the apartment.

The gang goes home and Rachel waits for a ticket to become available. Ross spots Rachel with her black top and blue jeans. She has black luggage and he is sitting at the boarding waiting area. Ross invites Rachel to go to Athens. Rachel boards the plan and Emily appears. Ross goes after her.
