Synopsis[]
Harry scoffs when Christine announces her engagemant.
Storyline[]
Christine is engaged to Bill, the world's most boring human being. When she gives signs of cold feet (including throwing up in Dan's briefcase) the others try to gently (or not-so-gently) talk her out of it.
Plot Summary[]
Not quite over his crush on Christine (Markie Post), Harry (Harry Anderson) isn't very happy when she announces her engagement to a guy named Bill (Timothy Stack). She admires Bill for his "reserve", while everyone else regards him as the most boring person in the history of civilization. When Christine shows signs of wanting to break the engagement, the courtroom staff urges her along--but are they doing it out of concern for her, or because the lovestruck Harry is setting the template?
