Artifacts[]

8x16ModernScrying

8x16CupidRing

Coop's Cupid ring.

  • Athame: A double edged ceremonial knife.
  • Book of Shadows: The Halliwell Family's magical tome. In addition to spells and potion recipes, the Book of Shadows contains information on warlocks, demons, and other supernatural beings. It was created by their ancestor, Melinda Warren, and was passed down every generation.
  • Crystals: Xar used Crystals to set up a Crystal Cage to trap Christy.

Notes and Trivia[]

  • The WB used the promo title A Charmed Wedding.
  • It is confirmed for the first time that Christy is actually working with the Triad. This adds her to a long line of evil blondes the Charmed Ones have faced over the years, including Hecate, Julie and the Stillman Sisters.
  • Paige is the last Charmed One to be married. This means that the sisters were all married according to age: Prue was first in Bride and Gloom, then Piper and Leo in Just Harried, followed by Phoebe in Marry-Go-Round, and Rewitched. Phoebe, however, will remarry for the third and final time in Forever Charmed.
    • Paige wears a wedding dress for the second time. She already wore one in House Call, glamouring into Glen's bride, Jessica.
  • The Elders send a Cupid to help Phoebe in finding love. Another Cupid was previously seen in "Heartbreak City". Curiously, Phoebe fell for both of them.
  • When Paige tells Henry that she's going up against the Triad, Henry insists that he goes as well to help them. The scene is very similar to the one in "Deja Vu All Over Again" where Andy insists that he goes with Prue and her sisters to defeat Inspector Rodriguez.
  • This episode proves that Piper's powers have advanced since she got them, with her Molecular Combustion power, she was able to blow up a Triad member with three tries, and with her Molecular Immobilization she was able to temporarily slow down two Triad members, who were upper-level demons.
    • Piper also keeps her powers active in the exact same manner in Astral Monkey.

Photo in the fictional magazine

  • An episode still of Paige and Henry kissing on their wedding appeared in the fictional magazine in the Czech TV series Ordinace v růžové zahradě 2. One of the main characters pointed to Henry and said that it was his brother.
  • Both Piper and Phoebe bump into their future husbands before actually meeting them. Piper bumps into Leo in flashbacks in "Pre-Witched" and Phoebe bumps into Coop in this episode.
  • Like Cole, Coop's first admiring comment about Phoebe concerns her calf or at least leg.
  • Asmodeus is vanquished when Paige orbs him in front of a fireball while frozen. This is similar to how Prue moved a frozen Rex Buckland to be mauled by Hannah Webster in "Wicca Envy" and how she moved The Collectors to vanquish each other in "They're Everywhere".
  • Coop's comment "Love is having to say you're sorry" is the same as Phoebe's comment to Kevin at the end of "Heartbreak City ", which is the first time she met a Cupid.
  • Phoebe does not use her Premonition power.
  • This is the second time Phoebe breaks into a suspicious person's supposed apartment, only to find it completely empty. The first time was with Rex Buckland in "Wicca Envy".

Cultural References[]

  • The title is a reference to the 1993 comedy film "Dazed and Confused".

Continuity Errors[]

  • When one of the Triad freezes the room to talk to Christy, Piper's face is different from when it unfreezes to when it was first frozen. During the scene, Paige can be seen moving in the background.
  • The pentagrams on the robes worn by Candor changes, at first it is pointing down and then points up in the last scene.
