One of my favorite episodes of season 7 because this is closest to witness Shirley and Carmine married. I like the episode because it involves the characters doing something together like old times.

Shirley's psychotic break
LaverneandShirleysucks13 March 2022
Well I kinda saw it coming at the end of the previous episode when Shirley went out to dinner wearing her robe, that the screws were coming loose in her mind. And this week they flew off the hinges and poor Shirley has a complete mental break when a free wedding fell into her lap.
The girls visit a hotel where they're having some kind of wedding display for engaged women to shop around for what they can choose for their own. When a crazed mother runs in shrieking that her daughter's wedding is off, the wedding planner tells her too bad, no refunds for her. So the crazed woman looks at the girls and says they can have it for all she cares and storms out. Shirley then loses her sanity at the thought of having a fully planned wedding fall into her lap and makes a beeline to Carmine to get married that very Sunday so they can use the wedding.
Of course Carmine says no since he's perfectly happy dating dozens of girls right under her nose and Shirley never seems to care. He leaves (probably to take out one of the girlfriends who actually puts out) and Shirley continues to plan the wedding like the bridezilla she's become.
Strangely, the guests for the original wedding still show up for this one. Weren't they told the original wedding was off?! Lenny and Squiggy and Laverne's Pop shows up too. Edna's nowhere to be found which is strange. You'd think she'd show for Shirley's wedding! She actually hasn't been seen for quite a few episodes at this point that I wonder what the deal was with that. Contract dispute? Vacation? Axed like Sonny and mysteriously gone forever? Who knows?
The rest of the episode is Shirley acting like a crazed woman wanting to get married while the gang stalls because Carmine is nowhere to be found. He finally shows up at the end ready to be married and after he says "I do".....Shirley says she don't. What?! Good lord, whatever. I think at this point, they really should've moved this relationship along and gotten married and lived upstairs from Laverne. But we all know Cindy Williams was on her way out by this point so it sadly couldn't happen that way.
After saying she doesn't, they're pronounced "boyfriend and girlfriend", they kiss and hug and everybody starts dancing and having fun. So dumb. I give it 2 stars for having Boo Boo Kitty as one of the wedding guests lol.
