For AI2old2b1:

At the wedding, Christina's in the vestibule in the back with the bridesmaids. She's locked and loaded in the dress and the Burke family choker (heavy symbolism much?), and her eyebrows have been drawn on by someone with a steady hand and a good eye.

Then she realizes that earlier, when Bailey finally let her "cut someone," she scrubbed off the wedding vows that Callie had written so painstakingly on her hand for her and she panics. Can't move. Won't move. Refuses to enter the sanctuary.

Meanwhile, down at the altar, McD, the best man, is all long-faced over his earlier convo with Mer and Burke asks him what's the matter and McD says he doesn't think he and Mer are gonna make it. But this is Burke's day, he says.

Cut to the pews, where Alex slides in to sit next to Addison. She makes (tired) conversation by asking where do you sit when you know both the bride and the groom and Alex says he looks to sit beside the hottest woman there. Oh yes. But Addie refuses the bait and basically asks him why tf isn't he pursuing twue wuv because we each only get a few bites out of that apple, if any at all. He's all: She's Rebecca, not Eva. And she's all: She'll always be Eva to you. And so he's all: D'oh! You're right! And he leaves to race back to the hospital.

Hmm. I'm not sure if the George scene was in all this. If so: Cut to the hospital where George is wandering around dejectedly. He's skipping the wedding because all he can think about is how he failed the surgical exam. He runs into Bailey who's also in a funk over losing the chief rez position to Callie. They sit down together on a bench and stare. She comes out of her stupor and says, Did I fail you, George? And he says: No. I failed you.

Meanwhile, back at the ranch, I mean, the vestibule, Christina tells Meredith to talk to her the way she (Christina) would if it was Meredith having the wedding-day meltdown and Meredith does a very creditable rendition: Stop whining! Get down that aisle! Now! (along those lines)

That does it. Christina's fine, ready to go.

As this has been going on, though, the natives inside the sanctuary have been getting restless and Burke decides to take a walk -- up the aisle, to see what's happening.

He comes into the vestibule before the girls can leave. Christina assures him that she's fine, she had a minor meltdown but now she's snapped out of it and she's fine, she's ready to get married. But Burke goes all melancholy gotta-be-real on her and tells her that he knows she didn't want all this or even to get married and that he pushed herr into it. And she's all enthusiastically: I really think I want to do this! And he's all: I wish you knew you wanted to do this.

And poof, that's it. Mer does some kinda cool-jock slouchy walk down the aisle to the front of the church where, with McD in the background looking on, she looks out at everyone else and says: Go home. It's over. It's so over. The last seems clearly aimed at McD as well: See ya, baybee. Then she slouches off into the sunset or somesuch.
