The big day has finally arrived as Grace and James get ready for their green-card wedding. To Grace's dismay, Karen takes it upon herself to ignore her wish for a low-key wedding ceremony and decides to arrange a huge affair instead including hiring the legendary Hall & Oates singing duo to perform "Maneater" at the ceremony. As the ceremony gets underway, it seems that Grace's body begins to have an unusual reaction leaving James' U.S. citizenship in jeopardy.

Episode Quotes
 
Will: So look, I don't want to do this either. So why don't we just go inside and tell them we just want a simple thing, and with just us.
James: (Walks out of elevator) Hey guys.
Will: Or we march my very hot boyfriend into that apartment, and show him off in front of all of my friends.
James: Sorry I'm so dressed up Grace but, uhh, Karen can be very persuasive when you're in the tub, and she's there with a toaster and grament bag.
 
Karen: Hey, Tall and Oates. I'm not paying you two to stand around. Guess I should have hired Men At Work. Maybe you should get in there and pick up some dirty plates.
Hall: I can't go for that. Oh, no can do.
Oates: (Picks up a money jar) Whoops! Now you gotta put a dollar in the Old Lyric Jar.
Hall: (Puts a dollar in the jar) You and that jar, sometimes I think we're never gonna have that pizza party.
 
Grace: Okay, I'm ready.
Bobbi: Oh dear, are you alright? Your make-up's so think, I can't get a read.
Grace: At least mine doesn't come off in one piece.
 
Will: My god, you looked incredible.
Karen: Well thank you Will. You're not looking too bad yourself.
Will: I was talking to Grace.
Karen: Yeah? Well screw you, you ungrateful bitch!

Cultural References
 
Karen: Okay, I just came up with that, just now!

Karen makes "comedic" references to the films "Runaway Bride" and "The Wedding Singer."
 
James: As around the sun the earth knows she's revolving.

A couple of references are made towards Stevie Wonder inthis episode, including his songs "As", "Spersticious" and "Ebony & Ivory."
 
Karen: This is a wedding, not the "Ellen" show.

A quick and funny reference to daytime talkshow host Ellen DeGeneres and her emmy winning show.
