![]() What do we learn from this? One, there’s always time for Tim Gunn voice. “We’re going to do this! We’re going to pull this wedding off.” “Maybe it wasn’t meant to be.”īut then … it is snowing and Leslie sees what she believes to be THE GHOST OF LI’L SEBASTIAN! Sure, it’s just a professional look-alike for the gala whose real name is Bucky, but that is not the point! The point is that this whole scene looks like a snow globe, which reminds me of the Snow Globe Museum from the Valentine’s Day scavenger hunt Leslie made for Ben in “Operation Ann.” The wannabe newlyweds have more problems than Jay-Z: Leslie’s dress isn’t ready, the marriage license needs to be signed by someone from city government, Tom’s minister certification won’t clear for 24 hours, and, while nipple rings abound, finger rings prove more difficult, nay, impossible, to find. But what we’re dealing with here is true love, which as you know is not the smoothest-running thing in the world. Honest.Īs far as Leslie’s concerned, it’s all systems go for the wedding. I may or may not have squealed when I heard Leslie ask Ron to do that. Ann is in charge of the dress - “I was thinking the sensuality of Eleanor Roosevelt combined with the animal magnetism of Leslie Stahl” - Chris is getting rings, the Dwyers are finding marriage licenses, Donna and Jerry are overseeing the gala while Tom gets insta-Internet-ordained, and, most important, Ron is walking Leslie down the aisle. Kidding! He is totally kidding because feminism and love go together like the Falcon and the Turtle Dove. “It’s important to me symbolically that Leslie Knope disappears.” ![]() Pepper” in a game of Coke and Pepsi (bad luck for the groom and bride to see each other, uh duhh), and Ben announces his one request: He wants Leslie to take his last name. It feels the rightest, Ben! Let’s do this.īen and Leslie spin around back-to-back like two kids who just heard “Dr. How cute of you to make a cameo! But because this is the WEDDING episode, reason gets crushed by romance. ![]() These are legitimate reasons to hold off on saying “I do.” Oh, reason. I really appreciate how Leslie brings up the logistical issues, like that their families aren’t there ( so much for that unity quilt), they’ve already booked a venue, and they just ordered 200 white-chocolate top hats. We pick up right where we left off: Ben and Leslie deciding if they should turn the gala into their wedding. In the spirit of the Knope-Wyatt nuptials, I am taking these two separate episodes - each with their own strengths and weaknesses (JK: There were zero weaknesses in the wedding episode) - and recapping them as one. I want to remember every little thing about how perfect it was. Many moons ago, when Ben popped the question to Leslie, our dear heroine hit pause mid-proposal, saying, “I need to remember every little thing about how perfect my life is at this exact moment.” That is how I feel about this episode.
