"I thought that it mattered what I said or where I said it, but then I realized the only thing that matters is that you make me happier than I ever thought I could be," he pledges. So, Chandler joins her on the ground and delivers a proposal for the ages.
"I never thought I would be so lucky as to fall in love with my best - " she begins, but she can't continue through her tears.
She immediately falls to one knee (yes, queen!) and begins to propose.
FRIENDS EPISODE JOEY ISPEECH WEDDING FULL
Joey tells Chandler that Monica has packed her bags and left, but, instead, he opens the door to find their apartment full of candles and Monica waiting for him. After Chandler tries to surprise Monica by pretending he never wants to get married, things go haywire. We love a woman taking matters into her own hands, and, in this case, Monica's attempt at a proposal resulted in the single most romantic moment ever to air in Friends' 10-year run. Ross and Rachel would have breaks over the years, but nothing was ever as romantic as their first kiss. Many people want to visit Central Perk for the couch or the coffee, but, let's be honest, its real highlight is the kissing. The scene combines everything that made romance on Friends work: humor, genuine emotion, and a chemistry-charged clinch. Not to mention how Ross' forlorn look in the window and Rachel's sultry glance as she tries to unlock the door romanticize things even further. Their erotic, tension-fueled argument is a textbook romance novel, and it ends in a steamy kiss in the most romantic of settings: a rainstorm. Everything about this moment is romantic perfection. After struggling to unlock the door, they kiss in the rain. He storms out, which makes Rachel cry, but then we see him waiting for her through the window. "You had no right to tell me you ever had feelings for me," he begins, before picking an epic fight between the two of them. Finally, in season 2, after overhearing Rachel's drunken voicemail about being over him, Ross comes to Central Perk to confront Rachel. By the time Rachel figured it out and reciprocated, Ross came back from China with a girlfriend. Every time Ross came close to confessing his feelings for Rachel (his high school crush) in season 1, something got in the way. Now and forever, "I got off the plane" will be just another way to say "I love you."īy the time we got to Ross and Rachel's first kiss, the romantic tension had been building for more than a year. But the writers found a way to surprise us all with a cliffhanger of a voicemail that capitalized on Schwimmer's comedic timing and a gasp-inducing reveal.
FRIENDS EPISODE JOEY ISPEECH WEDDING SERIES
After Ross bought a plane ticket just to tell Rachel how much he loved her, it seemed we might end the series where we started, with Ross pining after an unavailable Rachel. Every other major character had found their happy ending, but Ross and Rachel remained the greatest unfinished business of the series. It's the culmination of a decade's worth of yearning, breakups (not "a break," mind you), and romantic interludes. In hindsight, we don't love that Rachel seemingly gives up her dream job for a relationship that's been historically rocky, but, as romantic gestures go, it's the grandest of them all. The immortal words "I got off the plane" have become part of the pop culture lexicon since the Friends finale aired - but it's hard to overstate what a monumentally romantic twist that was at the time.
