Its finally the day of the big wedding, and everything goes horribly wrong. Marshall's hair ends up getting frosted, and he attempts to fix it by shaving his head. He leaves to get some air where he runs into Lily who is smoking, because nothing is the way she wanted and her ex-boyfriend Scooter has come to the wedding to ruin it. Ted finally suggests the two get married outside, with Barney officiating. Lily gets a hat for Marshall to wear, and a guy plays an acoustic guitar.
Notes
We get the story behind Marshall wearing a hat, ascene we saw earlier in the Showdown episode. This episode also seems to rip off Friends by having Barney officiate the wedding, just like Joey did, but I guess we have to forgive it from stealing from one of the other great sitcoms.
Review
Very funny. I love how the wedding falls apart, only to become the small intimate ceremony Lily and Marshall always wanted. I really don't have much to say about this episode. It was nice to see these two finally tie the knot. We've been waiting for this episode since the pilot. At the same time it kind of ends the dramatic tension of whether these two actually will end up together. Still it was delightful to see, and wonderful to see Barney get all choked up about it.
Ranking
9 out of 10.
Season Comparison: Season 1 vs. Season 2: "Milk" vs. "Something Borrowed"
Well, I enjoyed Milk. This judgement is not meant to disparage Milk. But come on. Something Borrowed has Lily and Marshall finally get married. Too big an event, and it was done too well for me to not give it the win.
Winner: Season 2 Episode 21
Scoreboard
Season 1: 9
Season 2: 13
