Eh... OK but seemed to be a little aimless. Is it a romp about Homer and Marge getting married again, a mystery for the kids to solve, or some kind of verification of the couple's dedication (as has been done well a few times)? It's all, or none. Homer's vows were kind of sweet but there was so little invested in the drama it hardly mattered. Also, shades of LABF02 (the late insurance payment): I never really bought the idea that Tim wasn't certified and blah blah blah, plus they are LEGALLY married no matter who officiates, right? So meh on that. Sideshow Bob cameo was amusing... I also liked Maggie's view of Bridezilla vs. King Wrong (a good gag and a good way to frame it!). So... decent, not amazing.

INTRO NOTES Crow: Right to left Ralph: a noise (same as LABF01?) Barney: burp again Stu noise: no TV falls off: no (with same music when it didn't before)

DYN: ...it's TV-14 again (in fact, DLSV)? ...the promos had Ned's moustache making a "Bewitched" type noise when it jiggles, but not the show? ...uh, Helen Lovejoy used to be a man? ...Marge has a photo album of "Bart Halloween"? (She filed only his pictures into it?) ..."Wed Lobster" (sounds like more of a Futurama joke)? ...Manjula, again not Jan Hooks? ...the DMV has a "Give a Hoot (Read a Book)" poster?

Previous episode references KABF22: CBG "hosts" couch gag 1F22+: Ned's scream is like a woman's KABF17: Gloria seen but not heard in wedding line (this was her last appearance previously) 4F04: Recap from Marge, etc. AABF11: Skywriter hired 9F04, HABF18 couch: Homer as King Kong 7F11: "When the Saints Go Marching In" DABF04: Bart/Homer mistakenly thinking that if Homer and Marge aren't together, he will never be born 2F16/20: Multiple interpretations of initials to solve a mystery 4F14, EABF01: Sideshow Bob isn't the villain

Other -I think the origin might have been to have a separate type of cake, but the "groom's cake" is well-established as a way for the guy to have a silly minor cake at a wedding, and Homer's rocketship would have worked perfectly as that. -Not that Homer's the brightest, but couldn't he try smashing the lollipop to get the key out?

A plot road we've been down before, but hey -- always nice to see a shred of humanity inside Patty and Selma.
