Episode 23 started off slow with a guy experiencing unexplainable limb pain that he just wants to have it cut off so he could have prosthetics and he could go back to Iraq. Not much of a show there, except for Alex's emotional rollercoaster when he started acting all husbany on Izzie when telling her that she needs to get the surgery.

The only light light instance in this episode is Jessica Capshaw. I am totally loving her character Dr. Arizona Robbins. If I were sick, and I were a pedia patient, I would totally feel better if she were my doctor. She has the fritz of a child and the lightheartedness and joy that no one in Grey's Anatomy has. She's a good addition to the bunch of crazy doctors who lets their emotions get ahead of themselves.
Moving, Izzie gets the surgery and developed a short-term memory loss. George joins the army then saved a girl from getting hit by a bus. Mark asks Lexy to move in with but got turned down so he's buying a house.
Bailey breaks down and declines the Pedia Fellowship and gets divorced.
Derek and Meredith get married on a post-it. Then Izzie and George rode the elevator together. To heaven? Out of Grey's Anatomy.

I liked the part when Derek described what marriage is to Meredith. It's about two people making vows, making a commitment to be together forever, and signing a contract. In effect, they wrote down their vows on a blue post-it"
1. To love one another even when they hate each other. No running.
2. To take care of each other even when they're old and smelly and senile.
3. For Derek to remind Meredith who he is if ever Meredith develops Alzheimers.

It's sweet. Marriages should be like that. Never let a day pass by that you don't tell someone you love them. Never let a chance go by to make someone happy. Never stop loving even though you wanna tear that person to pieces. Never turn your back when you sleep together at night..you might wake up alone. Never wait for the other person to apologize when you could say sorry. Never hide a smile even if you think it's silly. Never be afraid to cry and be thought of as sappy when you really are.

Anyways, I think it's the end for George's and Izzie's characters. It's just sad that they developed these characters and they just end up dead.

It's McDreamy's and Meredith's wedding day! Yey!
Oh, wait...that's not the right one..hmmm

I've been following this show since time immemorial. It has been my weekly booster for my passion in the field of nursing. Watching this show makes me realize what I could do for people who are in situations like they have (of course as a nurse, not a surgeon). Going through the cases that they have every episode, it enhances my knowledge (or what's left of it) about medical-surgical, maternal, pedia, trauma and OR (are there any more?? see GLUTAPHOS). It's a rollercoaster ride as I sit there guessing what's the next course of action, but more times than not, I fail to follow what's the right step since I never encountered the cases that they have, only in books, which is a bit boring.

Anyways, the show has been very entertaining for their medical and surgical cases, but it has captured the hearts of many because of it's romantic, crazy and out of the world storylines. Especially coming up with the unforgettable McDreamy..then McSteamy...oh, and McDog (do you still remember him?)

My most favorite part before was the wedding (almost) of Burke and Christina. Burke recited his vows in the OR while operating and it was very beautiful. Unfortunately, Burke got kicked out of the show because of a comment made against gay people like George (T.R. Knight).

But what's fabulous is the evolution of characters. Christina started out to be Ms. Insensitive, Meredith Ms. Too Sensitive and Too Many Issues,
George as Mr. Insecure, Izzy as Ms. Super Confident and Alex as Mr. Bad Boy. As time went by, each character was developed into human beings that we can relate to, empathize and sympathize.

And here, in season 5 episode 22, Alex and Izzy gets married. If you can remember back in season 1, Alex teased Izzy for being a poster girl and posted Izzy's half-naked picture all over the locker rooms and elevator platforms. Alex was the character I hated the most. I felt like he was just placed there to make things complicated and crazy. His character had no purpose at all. He was brute, stubborn, selfish, and un-mannered. But in this season, Alex had grown to be the most honest character, and a loving one at that. His devotion to Izzy is amazing and although he could be tactless at times, you know that what he's saying is coming from the bottom of his heart.

And so, instead of Meredith and Shepperd getting married;
Alex and Izzytook their vows and promised to be man and wife in the eyes of God and the state of Washington.

It was very touching as Alex was saying his vows, Izzy hurriedly kissed him...
