Finally, after 5 long years, the wedding day has arrived. Fran spends her last night as a single woman at her mom's house, where Sylvia reads her a letter she wrote to Fran when Fran was born. They both cry. Just a few moments before the wedding, Maxwell's sister Jocelyn tells Fran that the social differences between she and Maxwell will ruin their marriage as it did to hers. At the ceremony, Ms. Babcock tries to give it one last shot and pretends being the bride, but it doesn't work. Fran doesn't show up at the altar, leaving everybody apprehensive about what happened to her. Sylvia goes to her dressing room and finds Fran crying on the couch. Maxwell arrives and Fran tells him that their marriage will never work and decides it will be better if they cancelled it. Max tells Fran that what happened with his sister will not happen to them, because they love each other. He tells Fran all the wonderful things she has and says he will never get bored with them. The wedding proceeds, and Fran and Maxwell finally marry. The wedding reception goes on normally, and Mr. and Mrs. Sheffield go on their honeymoon aboard a private boat. While trying to fix her hair for a photo, Fran accidentally falls in the water, and Maxwell jumps to rescue his wife.

- There is currently no trivia. Add trivia!
- In the original airing of this episode, when Fran is in her room watching I Love Lucy (after her mom leaves), they did a computerization effect to make it seem like Lucy Ricardo (Lucille Ball) was in the room "talking" with Fran about the wedding. This part is not shown on the syndication episode and is not shown in any broadcast anywhere else in the world. (Correct me if I'm wrong) edit »
- The wedding dress used in this episode cost US$12,000 and was from the well-known Beverly Hills bridal shop Celeste. edit »
- Guests Sylvia and Morty Drescher are Fran Drescher's real life parents. edit »
- Originally, this episode wasn't supposed to be an hourlong episode, so that's why you see some differences in the scenes (i.e. Niles's hair) and why there were so many scenes from past episodes. edit »
- Sylvia says Fran was born while "Kennedy was President" so that makes her born between between 1961-1963. edit »
- (After mention of how everyone at the reception is getting along)
Fran: Oh, listen, who's got the energy to fight? I mean, his side is too drunk, my side's too full. edit » - (Niles offers C.C. a drink)
C.C.: Oh, thank you Niles, but you know I'm not supposed to--(Swallows the drink in one gulp) do that.
Niles: How many times have you not done that tonight?
C.C.: (Thinks about it) About eight. Oh, Niles, now that Maxwell is taken my life is over!
Niles: Oh, Miss Babcock you always underestimate yourself! You have a lot to offer a man. You're witty, you're sophisticated, you're beautiful, you're sexy...
C.C.: (Nods her head towards Niles' glass of whiskey) How many times have you done that tonight?
Niles: About twelve. edit » - Maxwell: Oh, Fran, I love the way you love. With all your heart and all your soul. The way you love the children. How they worship you! You know, you blew into our lives five years ago like a whirlwind. Made us all feel alive again. For that alone, I'll love you forever.
Fran: You don't think I'm pretty? edit » - Maxwell: Oh, Fran, my darling. How can I make you understand how much I adore you?
Fran: (Sobbing) Well, a few examples would be good.
Maxwell: All right, let's start with your sense of humor. I love your vivacity, your guilelessness, your irreverence.
Fran: Could you use words I understand? edit » - (Fran has stood Maxwell up at the altar, and he's come looking for her to find out why)
Fran: Jocelyn and Lester are getting a divorce.
Maxwell: What's that to do with us?
Fran: (Whining) Their marriage didn't work because they're from two different worlds, just like us. I mean, you're the sophisticated, classy Jocelyn and I'm Lester, the poor schlub who worked for you.
Maxwell: Oh, come on darling, you never really work. edit »
