==Plot==
Monica runs into Janice and Janice is shocked to hear that she is getting married to Chandler but invites herself and her boyfriend Clark to the wedding anyway. 
Ross' doctoral dissertation can be found at the library but when he goes to see it he finds out that the Paleontology section of the library is only used by students to make out or fool around; therefore Ross decides to defend the area. However, after meeting an attractive paleontologist in the area, he is caught fooling around with her by library security. 
Rachel and Phoebe find the perfect girl, Erin, for Joey and he is really into her but she doesn't feel the same way. He feels jealous that she is becoming friends with Rachel and Phoebe instead.

==Trivia/Goofs==
*In this episode Jennifer Aniston cuts her hair. It remains short until "The One Where Rachel Tells..." in which her hair returns to mid-length. 
*Chandler's hair is cut too. The next two episodes, Chandler's hair is the same like its been since "The One With Monica's Thunder". three episodes later, it's back to being cut again. Apparently, the next two episodes were shot before this one. The holiday episode was shot one episode after this one.
*When Ross enters Central Perk, he asks Rachel if there was a place in her school where people went to "make babies". It was previously established that Rachel and Ross both attended Lincoln High School. Ross was probably asking Rachel about her University however, since his book is at the university library.
*Chandler told Janice that he'd have to be in Yemen until they found an energy source to replace gasoline. In "The One With Chandler's Work Laugh", she believed that he was still in Yemen, so it's odd that she didn't comment on that in this episode (Although Monica may have provided some kind of explanation for his return when she told Janice about the wedding).
* This is the seventh episode of Friends' seventh season. Kristin Davis, the actress who played Erin, would go on to also guest star on the seventh episode of the seventh season of the sitcom Will and Grace as Nadine, the best friend of one of the main characters' boyfriends.
* Rachel makes pancakes for Erin, but in "The One With Phoebe's Birthday Dinner", when Ross and Rachel get locked out of their apartment, he says "you haven't cooked since 1996".
** It's conceivable that Ross didn't know about Rachel making pancakes in this episode.
** However, Rachel made her English trifle/shepherd's pie dessert in "The One Where Ross Got High" (1999), and Ross was present for her cooking in that episode.
**This could also have been an exxageration.
* Monica's response to the woman sending back the chicken "show the Colonel in" is a reference to Colonel Sanders of KFC.
* Janice says she feels like family and Chandler says their children will call her "Aunt Janice". When Rachel gives birth to Emma, Janice suggests that Emma and her son will date.
