Scenes from a Marriage

S02 E23 • Friday, May 8, 1992 • May 8

Maggie is just about to walk down the aisle to marry James, but before that, Mickey tells his version of what happened that morning. Both Maggie and James have bad dreams and Maggie worries that her wrinkle from her pillowcase will ruin her looks. Maggie starts to get cold feet and calls James to meet her in the laundry room to talk (not face to face because it's bad luck)to make sure that both of them really want to get married. After they finally agree that they do not have second thoughts, they rush upstairs to get ready for their wedding day. At the church, Maggie goes through a series of hair changes, Maggie breaks her nail, James has trouble with his tuxedo, Susan flirts with the minister, Warren gets a stain on his tuxedo, the marriage license becomes glued to both witnesses of the party (Susan and Warren), and James' parents are wondering if James is making a mistake. When the moment arrives, Maggie and James become very calm, and the wedding goes smoothly.
