Amy deals with tough memories. Her wedding is like her marriage. The wedding started out perfect and then the weather turned bad and the home-made dresses fell apart (hems). Her marriage was the same way.
Nice storyline for Vincent. He is the youngest and his big brother has no appreciation for his career decisions. Vincent stands up for himself. The writers also work in a reference to the Tourettes syndrome. Hats off!
Bruce deals with mixed feelings about the mother of his child. The audience can tell that Amy likes the idea that Bruce is still available. Love that underlying desire between the two of them.moreless

Trivia
ADD TRIVIA- Maxine is baking cookies and having hot cocoa with Lauren. In the scene, Maxine removes a tray of cookies from the oven and takes them off the cookie tray. The cookies are already cooled. They are solid, not soft like cookies directly from a 375 degree F oven. It is evident when Lauren eats a cookie from her plate and again when Amy fingers the cookies. Edit
- In rebuttal to Peter's nasty comment about live pubic radio, Vincent mentions that he hopes his tourrettes does not kick in. Tourrettes syndrome is a neurological disorder. In some cases, a person afflicted with this disorder will have involuntary use of obscene language. Edit
- Leisha changed her hair color...it matches Amy's color now. This is reinforcing the theme that he re-creating the relationship he had with Amy. Case-in-point, the idea to elope to Europe. Edit

Allusions
ADD ALLUSIONS- The episode is titled, "Burden of Perspective," which is an allusion to the phrase "burden of proof." Burden of proof is the idea that an accusation/allegation must supported by proof. This is required in a court of law. Edit
- Amy: Hey, Mom, what the hell is a 'Tussy Mussy'? A "Tussy Mussy" is an intricately designed bouquet holder, usually crafted of silver or porcelain, approximately three to six inches long, which originated with the ancient Egyptians and was revived by the Victorians. "Mussy" refers to the flowers in the bouquet, and "Tussy" to the damp peat moss placed in these cone-shaped holders to keep the flowers fresh. Many had a small chain attached to a ring on their slender handles so that they could be held on a finger, pinned to a dress, or attached to a belt hook. Edit
