is a cult series that debuted on NBC in September 1994. Since then, viewers have flocked to their TV sets to follow the life adventures of the main characters. Of particular interest was the complicated relationship between Rachel Green (played by Jennifer Aniston) and Ross Geller (David Schwimmer). However, before they realized that they were meant to be together, they sought happiness with other partners.
“Friends”. Ross made a mistake during his oath? This is how the iconic scene was created
It’s no secret that there were many women in Ross’s life, but he couldn’t give any of them the same feelings he felt for Rachel. You probably remember the scene of his wedding with Emily Waltham (), with whom he was supposed to settle down. One of the unannounced guests at the ceremony was his ex-girlfriend. This situation clearly confused him and made the situation a bit more complicated.
When he was standing at the altar, swearing an oath to his chosen one, instead of the bride’s name, he said the name of his unrequited crush. “I take you, Rachel, to be my wife,” he said, to the surprise of everyone gathered. And although he quickly corrected the mistake, this slip of the tongue turned out to be a key plot twist. Few know that the idea for this scene was actually a result of chance.
The screenwriter of “Friends” reveals the story behind the scenes. The originator of the Kutl scene was David Schwimmer
Due to the unwavering interest, the creators from time to time reveal secrets from behind the scenes. The dedicated Instagram profile recalled one of the interviews of screenwriter Greg Malis, who talked about the creation of the iconic Ross and Emily wedding scene. It all started when one day during the recordings, Dawid Schwimmer, who played the character, got his line wrong. – He walked into the room and was about to say, “There’s a taxi waiting downstairs, Emily,” but instead he said, “There’s a cab waiting downstairs, Rachel” – an actor’s blunder.
It was this moment that became an inspiration for the creators, who unanimously admitted that this was how the characters’ fate should unfold. – He ran out and we thought: “This is how it should be.” But that happened because David got it wrong – he was talking about a scene that undoubtedly influenced the dynamics of Ross and Rachel’s relationship. The post immediately flooded with comments from astonished fans.
Best mistake ever.
And an epic moment was born.
It was fate.
Oh my God, who would have thought that one mistake by David would turn out to be the biggest turning point in the series.
