Modern Family - “The Wedding: Part 1”

SYNOPSIS - It's the day of Cameron and Mitchell's wedding, but of course everything doesn't quite go to plan. Mitchell, Cam, and Lilly go to get Cam’s suit, as he has been given the wrong one, while Hayley takes Joe's nanny to the airport. Alex helps Phil after an eye exam to make sure their wedding gift is purchased, and Jay and Cam’s father Merle enjoy a day at the spa. Claire and Luke go out on a boat to spend some time together. As this is a two parter, they actual wedding won't be until the next episode.

It seems that for Cam and Mitchell, everything that could go wrong with a wedding, has gone wrong for them. This episode is just as funny as all the others. If you like modern family, you will certainly love this one. The brilliant Nathan Lane returns as Pepper Saltzman - who is organising the wedding. Jay and Mitchell are still not speaking to each other over what happened in the last episode, but hopefully that will be resolved in the finale. During the episode, there is an homage to the brilliant cam and mitch scene “I'm breaking the window”, when Lilly was locked in the car. The dream wedding ends up being evacuated due to a fire, just as Lilly throws flowers down, and next week’s season finale was set up well. As the first part of a two-part story, things may have been a bit predictable as the audience probably knew the wedding wouldn’t happen here. It was still great to watch and made me laugh out loud. Overall, I enjoyed this episode, and I am definitely looking forward to seeing next weeks episode.
I have to say my favourite line came from Pepper Saltzman (Nathan Lane): “Oh calm down, this can't be the first time you've woken up to find other men in your bedroom”. I'll leave you to make of that what you will....enjoy the episode!
