[edit] Synopsis

It's the morning of Turk and Carla's wedding, and all of their friends and family are around preparing for it. Elliot is still angry at J.D., who is trying to make friends with her again, but in her rage, Elliot accidentally waxes off one of Carla's sister's eyebrows. Wanting to get away from the chaos that occurs afterwards, J.D. and Turk decide to resolve a pact they made years ago; the first one of the two to get married has to caddy naked for the other one in a game of tennis ball golf, so celebrate the last time they are together unmarried. Turk is still at the hospital since he decides to work on the day of their marriage so he can get an extra two days on their honeymoon. Dr. Cox is preparing for the wedding and is ready to go, but Jordan convinces him to sleep through the ceremony and show up at the reception and just pretend they were at the actual ceremony. Meanwhile, most people are waiting for the wedding to start, and Danni crashes the wedding as she was originally allowed to come because when the wedding invitations were being handed out, she was still in relationship with J.D. While waiting for it to start, she makes out with Doug and Ted who get in an argument over who she likes more.

Turk is performing the last operation of the day, an appendectomy, but there is a problem with the operation and he is forced to finish of the operation, causing him to have to warn Carla he may be late for the wedding. While waiting for him to arrive, J.D. takes the time to convince Sean to take back Elliot, but he doesn't give a definite answer. Turk is finally allowed to leave the operating room and runs to the wedding, but unfortunately he is too late, the wedding was canceled as the church was needed for another service. At the reception, moods are bad, as Elliot is still mad at J.D., Carla is upset she didn't get married and to make everything worse, Dr. Cox turns up to the reception after missing the non-occurring ceremony and comments on how nice the wedding was, not realizing that their was no wedding after all - causing everyone to think he is just taking the micky. Turk then convinces the wedding band, The Worthless Peons (Ted's band), to play a song and everyone starts to cheer up; Sean and Elliot resolve their issues, Dr. Cox apologies to Carla and gives them advice that "how and when you get married doesn't matter, and Carla forgives Turk for arriving late. Carla and Turk go off to their honeymoon, but quickly stop off to check on Turk's appendectomy patient who turns out to be a priest, who marries them in the hospital room on their own before the two leave to go away, while J.D. and Janitor take a wasted Dr. Kelso away from the reception.
