Friends - The One with All the Weddings
With the exception of Joey (Matt LeBlanc), each of theFriendstangled with tying the knot at one point in the series. Now four episodes of memorable nuptials (and near-nups) are captured in this collection, another in the themed series targeted at fans unwilling to shell out for a complete-season boxed set. As with the other collections in this series, the disc contains the same special features as in existingFriendsDVDs, including extra footage never aired on TV and episode commentary from the show's executive producers. But for anyone who already owns the complete seasons, there's nothing new here.Four episodes doesn't seem like a lot, and as withThe One With All the Babiescollection, the wedding theme is a bit stretched. One of  the episodes doesn't even show a wedding: "The One in Vegas" (season five) in which Monica (Courteney Cox) and Chandler (Matthew Perry) ponder a spur-of-the-moment altar sprint but are stopped when Ross (David Schwimmer) and Rachel (Jennifer Aniston) burst in married instead. Most of the episodes were season-finale cliffhangers: Ross' season-four London wedding to Emily (Helen Baxendale) that culminated in his blurting the wrong name during the vows; and Monica and Chandler's calamity-filled event from season seven, in which Chandler gets cold feet and everyone mistakenly believes Monica is pregnant. Their union is most poignant, being they're the only two Friends to wed each other during the series. But the honor of most romantic ceremony still goes to "The One With Phoebe's Wedding" (season 10) in which Phoebe (Lisa Kudrow) marries boyfriend Mike (Paul Rudd) outdoors in the street after a blizzard. Yes, that sounds uncomfortable, but only on TV, folks--only on TV.--Ellen A. Kim
