The One In Massapequa

Ranked #199 out of 236 episodes in Friends

Everybody prepares to go out to Long Island for the elder Gellers' 35th wedding anniversary party. Monica struggles to prepare the perfect toast that would make everybody cry. Meanwhile, Ross and Rachel discover that his parents have told people they're married and they decide to just go along with it for the night. However, Rachel gets carried away a little telling stories about their "wedding" that didn't happen. Also, Phoebe invites her new boyfriend, Parker, who is extremely enthusiastic.

Low-density Thanksgiving episode relies on character fumbles over structured comedy.

Directed by Gary Halvorson · Written by Mark Kunerth, Peter Tibbals
