The gang was all sitting around the table in Monica and Chandler's apartment discussing Ross and Rachel's upcoming wedding, when Rachel came out of the bedroom. She just got off the phone with her father, who managed to book The Plaza Hotel for Ross and her wedding, and she was anxious to share the news with the rest of the gang. Then she warned Ross, "Daddy says you owe him big for all the strings he had to pull to make this happen."

Under his breath, Ross said to himself, "Great, one more Green I owe something to."

Ignoring Ross' mumbles, Rachel continued to tell them that the only opening was April 15th.

"What?! That's only three days away!" Monica cried, "I can't plan a wedding in three days."

Phoebe reminded Monica that it was her turn to be maid of honor, which meant that she got the make the decisions, not Monica. Monica began to object, but Phoebe sharply said, "No! It's my job!"

After discussion about the bride's maids, Ross asked Joey to be his best man. However, Joey was worried that his past crush on Rachel would put a strain on the wedding. Rachel tried to convince Joey by telling him that was exactly why he should be Ross' best man. They were both so happy to have him as part of their lives; they wanted to have him be part of their wedding too. Still, Joey was not convinced; and asked Chandler if he wouldn't rather be best man.

"Gee, work my butt off to help plan an entire wedding thrown together in three days, or sit on my butt and do nothing… It IS a hard decision, but I think I'll go with you being the best man," Chandler said mockingly.

Ross was worried, "Joey, don't you want to be my best man?"

Fumbling for words, Joey answered, "Well…it's just…of course I do!"

Joey was sitting in the chair in his apartment worrying about his duties as best man when Phoebe entered asking Joey if he wanted to help her plan the wedding. When Joey reluctantly agreed, Phoebe knew there was something wrong with her friend. She asked him what was wrong and Joey explained, "It's just that I'm trying really hard to be supportive of Ross and Rachel. I mean, I bought everyone at Central Perk a cup on coffee."

"YOU did?" Phoebe emphasized.

"Okay, Chandler did, but I said it was on me. The point is; this is just getting so hard!" Joey complained.

Phoebe tried to comfort her friend. "You care so much about your friends' happiness that you are willing to do anything for them. Remember how you would have given up Kathy for Chandler." As she started to think back to those times, she began to recall what really happened, "But then you found out that they kissed behind your back…and then you made Chandler stay in a box…"

"But Rachel's the first one I've ever really had feelings for," Joey interrupted.

"Aww Joe, I hate seeing you like this, I really do. You feel like looking down my top now?" Phoebe asked trying to cheer Joey up.

"Now you're talking!" Joey said perking up.

Changing the subject, Phoebe brought Joey back to the wedding. "What should we plan for first?" Phoebe asked.

Joey suggested food, and then an idea popped into Phoebe's head. A fiesta!

In the meantime, Monica and Chandler were also discussing Ross and Rachel's wedding in their apartment.

"I can't believe Phoebe won't let me help with the wedding," Monica sulked.

Trying to cheer his wife up, Chandler suggested, "Well, maybe that's a good thing." At Monica's gasp in surprise, Chandler explained, "Well, all this activity can't be good for the baby."

Still upset with being excluded, but seeing Chandler's point, Monica said, "Still… She could let me help at least a little bit." Chandler reminded her that when she was Rachel's maid of honor, she didn't let Rachel or Phoebe do anything. Monica countered, "I just wanted things done right…" and then she remembered; she had let Rachel help. "Oh, I let her mail out the invitations, and look where that led. And Phoebe… Remember when I left her in charge of cups and Ice at Rachel's surprise party?"

Chandler thought back to the party. "Oh yeah, that was so great, I…" Chandler said to himself before seeing Monica's scowling face. "I hated it," Chandler continued. "What was Phoebe thinking?!" Chandler claimed as he tried to cover his mistake.

As if on cue, Phoebe walked into their apartment. "Hey guys, I just had the greatest idea; the reception should be a fiesta!" she said.

"A what?!" Monica yelled, clearly upset with the idea. Phoebe was out of her mind, a fiesta was obviously unsuitable for a wedding reception.

Trying to calm Monica's nerves, Chandler told Phoebe, "Yeah, now's not a really good time."

"No, no, it will be fun!" Phoebe said, pushing her idea. "We could wear sombreros and have a piñata filled with candy."

Still upset, Monica went into her room and slammed the door, leaving Chandler looking apologetically at Phoebe for his wife's behavior.

Rachel and Ross too were talking about their impending wedding. "...and then I was thinking for desert crème brûlée."

For hours Ross had for the most part tuned Rachel out as he calculated the costs in his head. "Rach, I don't know if I can afford all this…"

"Well, we can cross out all your guests; they already think we're married," Rachel reasoned. She was not about to give up on her dream wedding.

As if trying to break the tension, Joey and Phoebe came in. "Joey and I came up with the greatest idea for your reception; we can have a fiesta!" Phoebe chimed.

"We'll have a rootin' tootin' time," Joey added.

"Is it a western now?" Ross asked sarcastically. Phoebe loved the idea, and readily agreed that was what they should do. "Well, it would be cheaper than Rachel's…" Ross considered.

"No! No, Pheebs. We're not doing a fiesta or a western. Ross and I will plan out the reception." Rachel said trying to regain some control.

"Then what DO I get to do?" Phoebe asked.

"You can be in charge of…" Rachel tried to quickly think of something Phoebe couldn't possibly ruin. "Cups and ice!" Rachel said quickly.

"No! No! I'm not doing that again!" Phoebe said upset.

Ross tried to keep the peace. "You…you can be in charge of music."

"Can I sing?" Phoebe asked, perking up.

"Sure." Ross agreed. Rachel was not as confident. "No, this is good," Ross said to Rachel. "She sings and I don't have to pay for the New York Philharmonic."

"What else do I get to do?" Phoebe asked.

"You want more?!" Rachel cried, outraged.

"I wanna do something too!" Joey piped in.

"Fine…You guys can take care of the invitations." Rachel said exasperated. She just wanted Phoebe and Joey to leave at this point, so she and Ross could finite the details of their wedding.

Phoebe and Joey accepted the responsibility and left without further hesitation. But then a thought occurred to Ross. "Just make sure you guys don't take care of them the way Rachel and I took care of Chandler and Monica's!" Ross called to Joey and Phoebe down the hall.
