Phoebe and Mike are doing their wedding plans, but they are shocked how expensive everything is. Phoebe thinks it's a lot of money to spent in just one day, and Mike doesn't need a big wedding, since he already been married before. They have the idea to give all the money to charity and marry in the city Hall. When they make the donation and go away, Phoebe stays in doubt about their act, specially because Monica stays shocked with her decision and tells her how special is the wedding day.

Monica is cleaning the apartment because the adoption social worker is coming. She has a big decision power, so everything needs to be perfect. Later,Monica and Chandler discover that Laura, the social worker, already slept with Joey and she still is angry with him, so they try to avoid Joey and don't allow him to enter in the apartment.

Ross is going to take Emma to the playground, but Rachel doesn't want her there because she had a traumatic swing ''incident''. Ross tells Rachel that Emma loves the swings, and convince her to go with them to the playground to see that there isn't anything wrong there.

The One with the Home Study

A very funny story with the social worker. I like how Joey tries to get in while Chandler tries to not let the woman know that it is Joey. And I also love how Joey pretends like it was her that never called him. His "Do you know how many women I had to sleep with to get over you?" was an absolutely brilliant line!

The story of Mike and Phoebe isn't so bad either. It is just sad to see Phoebe like that, she sure got influenced by Monica to be selfish and care about her wedding day more than the kids. Phoebe in the past would have never done that. but it did end up in a pretty funny story, especially since their donation was even rejected at the end

The One With The Wedding Money...

I love this episode. It's so funny and entertaining.

In this episode, Phoebe and Mike continuously change their mind about their wedding. Deciding to have a small wedding and donate the money to charity, then taking the money back for a big wedding, over and over. Meanwhile, Ross makes Rachel face her fear of swing sets, and Monica and Chandler get a home visit from their adoption interviewer, only to find out that Joey hooked up with her years before. That is just so typical of Joey, isn't it?

Overall, I give this episode an 8 out of 10, which in my ratings book is: Awesome.

Have you seen Joey's bat?

Warning: Spoilers
This is a fun episode of the show that seems to be invigorated by the fact that its in its last year.

The adoption worker story line with Monica/Chandler/Joey was pretty funny, with Matt LeBlanc again stealing the scenes he's in. I loved it when he said "I didn't care for that" when Chandler bundled him under the couch.

The other two story lines are a bit more throwaway, with the Phoebe/Mike one being a bit annoying as they are indecisive about what to do with their wedding money, and the Rachel/Ross story proving nothing other than that David Schwimmer is good at physical comedy. They are still entertaining though, with the cast on good form.

It's a lovely episode though, with some great moments.
