Goof: Right after Joey picks up the hitchhiker, the camera angle changes to the cab driving down the desert road, and suddenly there is only one person in the cab.

-
Goof: After Ross and Rachel get married, Rachel exits to the left. A few seconds later Joey and Phoebe enter the same way without having seen Rachel.
-
Continuity: Although this episode opens with the last scene of the previous episode, there is a mistake. In this version of the scene, Rachel does not say "Okay, wait."
-
Goof: During breakfast after Ross says that he doesn't love to get divorced, Rachel's hand suddenly is on her face.
-
Goof: During breakfast after Phoebe says she's drunk right now, Chandler's hand goes from his face to by his side when the camera angle changes.

-
Goof: When Ross and Rachel come down to breakfast, all the writing is gone from their faces. However, in the episode before this, they were told on the phone that the pen would not come off. How was it they were able to get the writing off all of a sudden?
-
Goof: When Joey and Phoebe are running into the chapel, Joey is yelling for Phoebe to hurry and she says okay. If you look closely at their mouths, you can tell that neither of their lips are moving.
-
Trivia: Chandler's line, "They aren't as much dating as they are two vodka bottles walking around in human form," was actually Matthew Perry's own improvised line when the writers were stuck with an unfunny punchline. This can be seen on the DVD extras.

NOTES (11)
ADD NOTES-
Much has been made of the fact that the "permanent" writing on Ross and Rachel's faces is suddenly gone when they come down to breakfast. On the Season 5 DVD there is a special on the making of this episode in which the problem is discussed. The writers struggled with it, including filming scenes in which Ross is at breakfast covering the remaining traces of the writing with makeup. Ultimately, however, these scenes were deleted because they distracted from the main story line andbecause the show was running long.
-
For the first five seasons, Monica had a black KitchenAid classic stand mixer on her kitchen counter. Beginning this season, it is yellow.

As a result of Courteney Cox's name change, the font for all names in the opening credits is smaller. "Courteney Cox-Arquette" would not fit across the screen in the font size used for the previous seasons.
-
This episode is one of the few titles that doesn't begin with "The One Where..." or "The One With..."

-
This is the only episode where Courtney Cox is credited before Jennifer Aniston in the opening theme. This was due to the name changing joke.
-

-

-
At the beginning of the episode, the opening credits feature all of the cast members, as well as the series' creators, with the name "Arquette" added to the end of their names. This was a joke, as Courteney Cox had added her new husband's surname (Arquette) to her name. Before the end credits, the episode was dedicated as follows: "For Courteney and David, who did get married."
