When do monica and chandler get engaged

Quotes Chandler Bing : You know what I'm gonna do? User reviews 10 Review. Top review. Wasn't sure whether to rate 6 or 5. It's a big episode I think I laughed 2 maybe 3 times. Just very mediocre. It ain't 9 or I think friends fans were just unable to be objective about the episode and just gave it a high rating bc it's the engagement.

As a fan of good friends episode, I'm able to not be taken by that plot point. I dont ever have to see this episode ever again. Details Edit. Release date May 18, United States. United States.

Monica tells him he's too late and she is with Chandler now but is left thrown when Richard asks if Chandler is willing to give her everything he's offering.

The next day while having breakfast, Chandler in his attempts to convince Monica he's not interested in commitment to make his proposal more surprising talks about how ridiculous the whole concept of marriage is. However he ends up going too far, and Monica storms off thinking their relationship is not going to go any further. Rachel and Phoebe discuss how they both feel happy for Chandler and Monica, but also a little jealous, and Rachel mentions that maybe they should have a "back-up plan" — an arrangement with a friend that, if neither of them is married by the time they are 40, they'll marry each other.

Phoebe reveals that she already has one -- Joey. Rachel goes to Ross , hoping to form a similar arrangement, but Ross tells her he already has a back-up plan: Phoebe.

Rachel complains that Phoebe can't have two back-up plans, but Phoebe thinks it's just good sense to back-up your back-up, because she's already lost Chandler!

When Ross and Joey discover that Phoebe has them both as a back-up, they get angry and say they want to switch to Rachel. Phoebe and Rachel decide to write the two guys' names down on napkins, and they'll each pick one, and that will be their back-up.

In an attempt to help Chandler with his plan, Joey pretends that Chandler has no interest in ever getting married. Monica, who is getting more and more frustrated, reveals that Richard is willing to give her everything Chandler apparently won't.

Joey quickly relays this to Chandler, who realizes he has to stop messing with Monica and propose as soon as possible. Monica goes to see Richard and says wants to be with an adult. When Richard said that that seems fair, Monica says that none of it's fair—fair would have been if Richard had wanted to marry her back when they were together, or if Chandler wanted to marry her now.

She tells him she needs some time to think things over and leaves. Chandler goes to see Richard and tells him that Richard blew his chance, but that he was going to ask Monica to marry him. Friends follows a group of six best friends living in New York City and doing their best to juggle their social, professional, and personal lives, while also dealing with everything adulthood throws their way.

Although the series explored the stories of Monica, Chandler, Joey, Phoebe, Rachel, and Ross , Friends had a special focus on the rollercoaster romance between Rachel and Ross, who ended up becoming the main couple of the show. The writers paid so much attention to their relationship that they ended up creating a tradition in the show, that was broken only once, and it was with the proposal of Monica and Chandler.

However, there was a lot of drama before, during, and after they first got together, so much that every season finale had to do with them in one way or another except for one, all thanks to Monica and Chandler. Perhaps Friends could have benefitted from focusing less on the Rachel and Ross drama and sharing the spotlight with the rest of the characters more often, but the often criticized pair ended up being at the core of almost every season finale.
