Teaser:
Starts off where they left off at the end of the season 5 finale. Ross and Rachel run out. Monica and Chandler look at each other and ask each other if Ross and Rachel got married. Suddenly, Phoebe and Joey run into the chapel together and then Monica and Chandler are like "Oh My God" and then Joey and Phoebe come right back out. Monica and Chandler ask them what is going on and Phoebe and Joey tell them that they got a message that Ross and Rachel were getting married.

The Next Morning:
Ross and Rachel wake up together in bed, and they aren't sure what happened. They aren't sure if they did the deed or what. And they are very hung over.

At breakfast:
Phoebe is eating breakfast at the buffet, Joey comes in and tells her that his movie was canceled and he wants to fly back with them. Phoebe tells him he has to drive the cab back to New York. He says he doesn't want to. But then they decide that they will drive back together to renew their friendship, as Phoebe says "a frienaissance." Monica and Chandler come in and ask if anyone had seen Dr. & Mrs. Geller, Phoebe tells them she got a message that they would be down shortly. Joey starts to wonder why the waitress hasn't come to the table, and they tell him that it is a buffet. Joey and Chandler go to the buffet, Chandler tells Joey that he and Monica almost got married. Joey hugs him and then asks why he wasn't invited and gets upset if Ross is going to be the best man. Then Chandler tells him that he doesn't want to marry Monica anymore. He thinks they are rushing things. But he doesn't know how to tell Monica because it will hurt her. Meanwhile, Phoebe and Monica are talking and Monica tells Phoebe that she doesn't want to marry Chandler because she thinks things are moving too fast. But she doesn't know how to tell Chandler because she thinks it will crush him. Then Chandler and Joey return to the table while Phoebe and Monica are talking and Monica tells them they were talking about bacon, but then Phoebe tells them no, they were talking about tennis because that is more believable. Ross and Rachel come in and sit at the table and everyone stares at them. Chandler asks them if they're going to talk about what happened the night before, and the gang informs them that they got married and at first they're shocked but then they begin to remember. They decide they need to get a divorce and Monica says that now, Ross' divorce lawyer can get the pool that he's always wanted. Chandler says this one should be free, because once you get two you get the third one free. Then Phoebe says that getting divorces must be Ross' thing, and he says that's not his thing. Ross and Rachel decide they should get an annulment, that way they don't have to tell their parents.

After breakfast:
Monica and Chandler are walking through the casino saying they should get married now, but each is fretting the thought. They decide that if they roll another eight at the craps table that it's a sign and they should definitely get married. They do roll an eight and say "okay, let's go get married" but neither one seems too happy. Then Monica says that she rolled a hard eight last time and this one wasn't so they shouldn't get married, and if they were meant to get married they would have seen signs. They decide to go pack, and they're holding hands in front of the elevator and when the elevator door opens there's a priest in the elevator so when the door opens it looks like they're at a wedding altar.

In Phoebe's cab:
Phoebe is trying to play 20 Questions but Joey is falling asleep and Phoebe gets mad at him because all he's done is sleep the whole time, and she says it's his turn to drive. When Joey starts driving, he falls asleep at the wheel but wakes up and sees a hitchhiker on the side of the road.

Central Perk:
Rachel is in Central Perk, Ross comes in and she says "Hi hubby" and they laugh. Then they start to talk about how they should go about getting the marriage annulled. Ross tells Rachel that he's decided he doesn't want to have the marriage annulled. Rachel thought he was kidding at first, but when she realized that he wasn't, she began to freak out. (Please note, we went to the bathroom at this point, so it is sort of vague since we only saw the scene shot once. When you gotta go, you gotta go!)

Back in the cab:
Phoebe is sleeping and the camera pulls out and you see Joey sleeping on her shoulder. The hitchhiker is driving. Phoebe flips out. (Please note: They shot many cab scenes, and some were out of order, so we are trying to remember what order they went in, and where they belong). Later.... Phoebe is driving, Joey is in the back, hitchhiker guy (Rick) is in the front. Phoebe starts yelling at Joey that this guy could be a rapist or something and Joey says he already asked before he got in the car and he had said he wasn't. So Phoebe asks Rick again. Then, still mad at Joey, she asks Rick if he likes to play car games. He says he loves the license plate game. So they start to play the game, and Joey tries to play along, but he plays it wrong.

Monica and Rachel's (hallway):
Chandler and Monica are returning from Vegas. Monica is limping and leaning on Chandler. Some kid had kicked her on the plane because she pulled his hair because he stole her snack. She says she can't walk on it anymore, so Chandler picks her up and carries her over the threshold. When they realize what they were doing, they immediately back up and she hangs from his neck instead and wonder if it counts that way.

Monica and Rachel's (later or maybe another day, not sure)
Rachel is there, Ross comes in and tells her that he's if she stays married to him, they can register for gifts and she can keep them all. Rachel thinks about it for a second, and then tells him it's crazy. She wonders if they can have an annulment shower.

Back in the cab:
Rick and Phoebe are singing a song. It's time for Rick to get out, and he has Phoebe's name, phone number, and address, and she has his name and the fact that he's a drifter, so the ball is pretty much in his court. After Rick leaves, Phoebe's still mad at Joey but she loves his voice so he starts singing "Ground control to Major Tom" and says he's realized that to be her friend, he'll try to stay awake all the time but she tells him it's okay, he can sleep at night.

Monica and Rachel's:
Rachel is unwrapping some flowers to put in a vase, and Chandler is standing there watching her, when Monica comes out of the bathroom and startles Rachel, who throws up the bouquet and Monica catches it. Rachel tries to tell her that she caught the bouquet so she'll be the next bride but they won't let her finish the sentence. Monica gets mad at Rachel and Rachel leaves. Chandler and Monica decide that they're happy the way things are and they shouldn't get married, and Monica tells Chandler to go unpack because it's been three days and it's driving her insane. Chandler leaves but he comes back and says "How about if I unpack my stuff here?" Monica tells him something and then he says "what if I had all of my stuff here" and Monica says that would be silly because he would have to go back and forth so much. Then he tells her that he thinks they should live together. She says there haven't been any signs saying they should move in together. So he says "I think my asking you is a sign." Then Monica says she would love it, they hug and kiss, we all scream for joy. Then Monica gives him a key to the place and says that he has to go out and christen the key. He makes a comment that the door hasn't been locked in 5 years, but okay. So as he is trying to unlock the door, the key breaks in the keyhole. And then Monica tries to open the door but it's stuck. And through the door, they say I love you to each other and decide not to take that as a sign.

Central Perk:
Phoebe and Rachel are on the couch, Ross comes in and tells Rachel that the annulment is all taken care of, and they hug. They then decide they want to see a movie and ask Phoebe if she wants to go and she says she's already seen one. So Rachel goes to get her sweater and Ross tells Phoebe that he really didn't get the marriage annulled. He tells her not to tell Rachel, and the scene ends with Phoebe in shock as Ross and Rachel leave to the movies.

Tag:
Chandler's still trying to get into Monica and Rachel's. Joey comes by, and says he can fix it, and gets some kind of tool and tries, but is unsuccessful. He says he's not done yet and breaks the door down.
