709: TOW All the Candy

Rachel and her new boyfriend, Tag, set the ground rules for their new romance, especially dicey since she's the boss and he's her assistant, but their biggest snag is facing the embarrassment of having her pay for everything they do. Back at the apartment building, Monica is in a festive holiday mood as she whips up some special candy for her anonymous neighbours but the stuff is so good, the mob nearly breaks down her door demanding more.

710: TOW the Holiday Armadillo

Ross is thrilled to have his young son Ben for the holidays and wants to introduce the tyke to Chanukah, but the festival of lights pales when a wide-eyed Ben clamors for only Christmas carols, Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer and especially, Santa Claus. Phoebe eagerly anticipates moving back into her newly refurbished apartment again with Rachel but feels she must first drive a wedge between Rachel and her current roomie, Joey. Meanwhile, a clumsy Chandler cannot seem to master the fine art of greasing the palms of maitre-d's with folding money in order to secure better service.

711: TOW All the Cheesecakes

Phoebe and Joey feud over what constitutes a proper excuse to flake out on their weekly dinner plans and it's driving her batty, especially since her old flame David (guest star Hank Azaria) has returned from Russia for a romantic one-night date.

712: TOW They're Up All Night

It could be a long sleepless night for everyone as Rachel finagles to spend her first night with Tag -- until it dawns on her that they did not overnight an important package before they left work -- while a clueless Ross and Joey risk their lives when they are stuck on their building's chilly roof. Elsewhere, Phoebe can't rid herself of a relentlessly beeping smoke alarm, and Chandler and Monica annoy each other just enough to remain wide awake.

Phoebe's first day as a telemarketer takes a bizarre turn when she encounters a distraught office supply manager who's determined to end it all -- but nobody hangs up on Phoebe when she's determined to make the biggest "sale" of her life. Meanwhile, Ross and Monica are super-bummed when their parents decide to sell their childhood home, especially after their father discovers that Monica's boxed-up memories from her youth are ruined from water damage. In addition, Rachel and Chandler feel guilty when each believes they have broken Joey's favourite ratty old chair, which he has affectionately dubbed "Rosita."

714: TOW They All Turn Thirty

Rachel agonizes when the gang celebrates her 30th birthday and while they all reflect on their own goofy experiences on their previous 30th birthday parties -- including Monica's comic attempts to conceal her intoxication from her parents -- Rachel ponders how to meet her remaining life goals. Meanwhile, Phoebe remembers when she discovered sobering news from her sister Ursula on her 30th and Ross also recalls his embarrassing fling with a red sports car when he hit the magic number.

715: TOW Joey's New Brain

Elsewhere, Rachel and Phoebe try to sabotage each other's chances to meet a cute guy who inadvertently left his cell phone behind while Chandler and Monica desperately urge Ross not to play his screeching Scottish bagpipes at their wedding.

716: TOW the Truth About London

Monica and Chandler grudgingly agree to let Joey perform their wedding ceremony -- once he's been "ordained" via the Internet -- and as the couple fondly recall how their relationship changed during their London trip years ago, Monica shares a startling revelation that leaves Chandler's head spinning. Elsewhere, Rachel becomes Ben's favourite babysitter when she teaches him practical jokes to play on his dad Ross. In addition, Phoebe panics when she notices the possible side effects of a headache medication she just swallowed.

717: TOW the Cheap Wedding Dress

Monica regrets telling a fellow bride-to-be about a cheaper bridal store when she later has to fight the woman tooth-and-nail for a unique wedding dress -- and later duels her for the right to hire Chandler's favourite band for the event. Down the hall, Ross also competes with Joey for the affections of the same lissome lass.

718: TOW Joey's Award

Joey is overjoyed to be nominated for a "Soapie" -- the third most-prestigious award in daytime dramas -- but when the results don't go his way, he's not above stealing one for himself, while the engaged Monica frets when she realizes she will never experience the thrill of a new relationship again. Elsewhere, Ross is more than curious when he spies Chandler sneaking out of a male strip club while Phoebe finds a cute guy.

719: TOW Ross and Monica's Cousin

When the alluring cousin of Monica and Ross arrives for a visit after a long absence since their childhood, her irresistible beauty causes serious distractions for all the men who meet her -- including an uneasy Ross. Elsewhere, Rachel and Phoebe are hopelessly overmatched when they try to rush their plans for Monica's shower as is Joey when he foolishly tries to trick a casting director to secure an acting role.

720: TOW Rachel's Big kiss

An embarrassed Rachel bumps into her old sorority sister and wonders whether she should confront her old chum about a boozy incident from their college days when their friendship unexpectedly took a dramatic and passionate turn.

Meanwhile, Monica struggles to shuffle her wedding reception seating to accommodate two more guests when dim-witted Joey casually invites his parents to drop by.

721: TOW the Vows

With only four weeks to go before their wedding, Monica is upset to find that Chandler has not yet written his vows -- but then admits she hasn't written hers, either. They both set out to put their feelings on paper, but find that even after seeking help from Rachel, Phoebe, Joey and Ross, the task still proves a lot more difficult than they had imagined. To make matters worse, looking back over Chandler and Monica's relationship leads to all six of the friends recalling the high -- and low -- lights of their friendships with each other, and worrying that things might be about to change for all of them.

722: TOW Chandler's Dad

While reviewing her wedding-guest list, Monica learns that an embarrassed Chandler hasn't invited his estranged dad -- so she arranges a face-to-face meeting between the two in hopes that father and son can patch up their differences before the ceremony. Elsewhere, wretched driver Rachel swipes the keys to Monica's Porsche and speeds off with a reluctant Ross aboard while the police are in hot pursuit. Joey wants to prove to Phoebe that he is so secure in his masculinity that he can wriggle into women's panties and learn to love it.

723: TOW Monica and Chandler's Wedding

In the one-hour season finale, Monica and Chandler gather their offbeat families on the eve of their wedding, but there's just one problem -- Chandler is missing when he gets cold feet and bolts, and while Ross searches for him, Rachel and Phoebe desperately vamp to distract the unsuspecting bride. Elsewhere, Joey can't pry himself away from shooting a World War I film with a spit-and-polish actor in time to perform the ceremony.
