the wedding
i never understood why the mothers did not attend the wedding.
shareThat made no sense to me either.
I figure it was the only way the writers could put the two moms alone, for that conversation. But they could have filmed that in Joyce's bedroom while everyone else was downstairs or something.
On the other hand, maybe they did go to the wedding, but arranged to get back to the house before the others, to get everything set up.
