Modern Family: The Wedding Part 2

Some spoilers for Modern Family season 5 finale below.
After last week’s mishaps, Mitch and Cam race to go through with their ceremony at a different venue. Rushed from their original site by a fire, down one preacher and stuck with Phil officiating, all the guests are forced to get on the shuttles and make a mad dash to another site, only to eventually end up at Cam and Mitch’s house. Meanwhile, Haley, who realizes she likes Andy the Manny thanks to a talk with her sister, briefly leaves the wedding to see him because his flight’s been delayed again, then struggles  as she tries to help him decide if he should go to visit his girlfriend.
The Wedding Part 2 is a strong, well-written, funny and yet emotional episode. 

Thankfully, the wedding eventually did happen, and the writers didn't go down the road of having the couple argue and decide they don't want to get married. It will be nice to see what married life is like for the Tucker-Pritchetts in Season 6.

Finally reaching levels of emotion that the show may not have touched in a while, The Wedding Part 2 is a strong episode and, even though it is a happy and touching one, the writers still remember that it is a comedy and there is enough laughs and jokes. Overall I enjoyed the episode and I am looking forward to the next season.

I think Pepper Saltzman gets the best lines of this episode;

- “As they say in my native South Carolina, it's time to marry your brother in law”
- “Lets send the flower girl before she's a flower teenager”
- (When speaking to the firemen) “Hi I'm Pepper Saltzman, Big supporter of your work, I have all your calendars!”
- “Oh my mistake, let’s go over the details. It’s a quaint rustic spot and it's chief selling point is IT’S NOT ABOUT TO BECOME A KILN!”
