Something was up about Rachel's return from Greece and the aftermath of Emily's wedding
Just throwing it out there, these are six people, best friends actually who cannot stand to be inconvenienced nor can they accept blame for their own actions; in this case it's throwing away your own chance to be happily married. Something struck me as a little off because in the next episodes Rachel came home to Phoebe separate from Monica, Joey and Chandler even though she was supposed to be in Greece and everybody else was coming home from England [Toss included] at the same time; but does anyone remember how at the reception Chandler said to Monica that they had to leave for New York in an hour as Toss laid semi-passed out on Monica's lap. Wouldn't that mean that Joey, Monica and Chandler's time in London was almost up barely giving them any time to shower, change and catch their plane back to New York City, I've never been married and yet, I know that a honeymoon is supposed to be longer than a day trip.
This is a honeymoon we are talking about, and when Emily caught Toss red-handed at the airport getting on said flight with Rachel she ran again, and he wasn't looking for Emily very hard this time around either because he came home with Monica, Chandler and Joey declaring over and over again. "She's my wife! Rachel is my wife!" Joey then asks how he managed to lose her all over again, and all he said was, "She's fast, okay?" Then a few minutes later Rachel enters with a single braid in her hair and everyone else crowds around her to ask about Greece and the honeymoon she took alone; after a brief facade she admits that she spent it in her hotel room crying day in and out. My question is, why did she arrive the same day as Chandler, Toss, Monica and Joey? Shouldn't she have come home three or four days later, maybe in a week? Either I did the math wrong, Toss and Emily actually planned on entering the Guinness Book Of World Records for the world's shortest honeymoon or it's both.
Now comes the aftermath of Toss and Emily's almost-marriage. Over before it began, and Toss can wear his scarlet-letter red sweater, tear his hair out, stress, blame others, yell at Emily's relatives over the phone, whine, put off telling Rachel the truth and down alka-seltzer and peptobismol as much as he wants, or excuse me, as much as he needs to right? I have no sympathy for him, this was all preventable. It was his own undoing and he brought it on himself. None of this would have happened if at the altar he'd just said, "I Ross take thee Emily." Not hard and Emily would have been moving to New York without a complaint. Okay somebody really should have told him the truth; that he did it to himself and he was his own worst enemy there really was nobody else to blame. He was guzzling down that peptobismol like he was trying to overdose on it. It's not fruit juice, it's not cola, it's not even milk. Peptobsimol isn't meant to be used like that. It's a medicine, an over the counter medicine, for constipation and diarrhea then to top that off with some antacid, and did I miss something or does saying your ex girlfriend's name at the altar in place of your wife to be and missing your own honeymoon make you constipated and lead to indigestion? People need to stop acting like Monica and Rachel are Siamese twins on permanent house arrest or wherever Monica goes Rachel goes, or that Emily was trying to cut Toss off from everyone he knows which wasn't the case. Emily only wanted one person out of Toss' life and that person was Rachel and she had good reason for that; it wasn't for nothing and he was free to be with everyone else, again had he said the right name at the altar and taken the honeymoon with Emily none of it would have happened! Much like the episode TOW Cat, where the only person to tell Phoebe the truth about the cat was Toss, in the following episodes the only person to tell Toss the truth was by coincidence Rachel but it was said in jest and cruelty a true jerkass comment she was right. "For starters. I'd have said the right name at the altar!"
