This is a promo from before Season 3 started, but I don't think it's been posted here before:

I saw you had done the rest and figured you forgot about Parks And Recreation. Should've known better, lol.

Looks like that promo screw-up mentioning April and Andy's wedding a while back was for real.

---

That was the funniest opening of any show, ever. My god, Ron is the man. I was cringing watching Ron pull the tooth out. What a wonderful start to the episode.

Loved Tom's reaction to Jerry's shirt. And then later on when Andy asked Ron and Chris to be his best men, only to say to Jerry, "I'm so glad you made it. That shirt is hilarious."

Ron: "Julia Roberts? Is that the toothy girl from Mystic Pizza?"

Leslie: "Andy and April are getting married."
Ben: "Wow, my Brita Filter is older than their relationship. Wait a minute, should I change my Brita Filter?

Andy: "I vow to protect you from danger. I don't care if I have to fight an Ultimate Fighter or a bear or him or your mom. I'm even getting mad thinking about it right now."

Loved having appearances from April's sister and parents, her ex-boyfriend and his boyfriend, the Animal Control guys, and Jean-Ralphio. It was also nice to see a little emotion from April; some tears, asking Ron to dance, and telling Leslie what she really thought of her. That random kid that Leslie warned everyone about cracked me up as well.

Andy: "April and I are in love and we didn't even think about it. I can't emphasize how little we thought about it."

Great episode! Once again outshines all the other Thursday night shows. I'm so glad we got another season of Parks And Recreation.

Ron's consternation at the existence of the veggie loaf.

Ron Swanson is just all kinds of awesome. I can't stress that enough.

I'm sure that's not quite right, but close enough. Cracked me up. I also lost it during the opening. Everything Ron said was hilarious. Actually, pretty much the entire episode was gold.

Well..it still was telling you to go online and view their gift registry, which applied to Ron/Tammy and not so much to April/Andy. But yeah...obviously it was still a pretty big fuck up on some level.

If you look at the Andy & April Wedding site, it's much more well-done than the Ron and Tammy one, which looked like it was thrown together in 10 minutes to cover up the mistake.

The Ron/Tammy gift registry pics were up as soon as the episode was done and was really all it advertised if I remember correctly. This time around the ad said a bunch of things that the site offered. But hey..far be it from me to take anything away if you need there to be some super conspiracy.

I loved those quotes. Ron was hilarious throughout the episode and I loved when he told off Chris about the vegetable loaf.

Other things I loved about the episode
-Andy calling April, Roberta after finding out her middle name
-The weird guy at the wedding/ party who got weirded out by Chris
-April's sister speech
-Chris' weird dancing

Best line for me went something like
"That was horrible. Do you live in the forest like that woman Nell. From the movie Nell."

Anyone know why this season is several episodes shorter than last?
Did they have to cut the season short in order to be able to afford Rob Lowe?

I laughed until I had tears at "Please bring cooked steak." I just started watching the episode and that is as far as I have gotten so far, but wow, that got me.

EDIT:

"So not only does this thing exist, but now you have deprived everyone of cake!"

TEARS. AGAIN.

Jerry's face right after Tom busted out laughing about his shirt was an awesome moment too so far.

I loved the toast April's sister gave, and how it made April cry.

Chris stating that he was the happiest man in the galaxy.

His Reggie Wayne jersey was a nice touch too.

Andy casually mentioning to Jerry that his shirt was "hilarious".

A great episode. This show has become appointment viewing while most of the others in the line up I seem to only watch out of habit now.

Donna teaching Ann how to get men was great.
