So the episode is called the wedding and as mentioned in the "notes" section on the page for this episode, there was supposed to be a wedding between Ally and Larry. I watched Ally McBeal when it originally aired in the early 2000's but I missed most of the fourth season and all of the fifth season, I then bought the complete series box set last year (2010) in January and my blu-ray player would not(!) play the disks....
I did a firmware update recently and suddenly the disks worked and I am now on season 5 of Ally McBeal. Why did i give you that long-winded story? because I knew from the beginning that RDJ was "fired" from the show. I knew Ally doesn't end up with him, and I used to believe that her soulmate died with Billy. nope, this episode is ABSOLUTELY heartbreaking, because we all know that she (Ally)should be with Larry, and because of the mistakes of the actor who played him, the writers had to make up some excuse for the two not to be together. so sad. and i love (!) RDJ, but seriously, i HATE how their relationship ended as a result of his bad decisions :(moreless
AIRED:
Malcolm Wyatt hires Ally to take his case. He's suing a girl for not going to the prom with him after she said yes in fall. The opposing lawyer is Larry Paul, and Ally is nervous about meeting him in court. But he never shows up, and his partner Coretta tells Ally he left for Detroit. Richard hires Jane Wilco as the office's new secretary, but after she gets the cold shoulder from some people, Richard wonders what ever happened to the friendly workplace he once built. Ally talks to Billy's ghost and decides to go to Malcolm's prom as his date and convinces him to sing solo and never stop believing in love.moreless

On April, 2001, Robert Downey Jr. was arrested for being under the influence of a controlled substance. He was then fired from the show, and the season finale had to be re-written (and the last part of the episode before that too, I think). That's the reason why the episode is called The Wedding, but there's no wedding on it. Apparently, if RDJ had not been fired, DEK would marry Ally and Larry on the season finale. But that's all speculation that was spread around the internet after his arrest. Although Fox's reps deny he was fired, DEK was "furious" for having to re-write the two part season finale. Calista was also very shocked to learn that her co-worker had been arrested. She reportedly fainted when DEK told her.
