Ep 1. Edie Gets Married

At the beginning of season six, The Mary Tyler Moore Show introduces fans to the episode titled Edie Gets Married. The episode starts with an obvious sense of excitement as Edie announces her engagement to her fellow WJM newscaster, Jerry. With the excitement comes a bit of curiosity from the team at the station who start to poke around and ask questions about the engagement and the relationship between Edie and Jerry.

Amidst all the excitement, Mary Tyler (the protagonist of the show) starts to feel a bit left out. With Rhoda off to New York and Phyllis finding her place in San Francisco, there's a void at WJM that Mary feels she can't fill. Despite this, Mary is excited for her friend and is more than happy to help out with the wedding preparations. Mary starts to help Edie with everything from finding the perfect dress to helping her plan the perfect wedding reception.

As preparations get underway for the big day, tensions start to bubble to the surface. Edie and Jerry are both strong-willed newscasters who are used to being in charge. When it comes to the wedding preparations, everything from the color of the napkins to the perfect wedding song turns into a battle of wills. Their arguments even end up in the newsroom where everyone watches from a distance as they bicker back and forth.

Meanwhile, Lou Grant (Mary's boss) is busy trying to convince Ted Baxter (longtime colleague and the anchorman) to take up his offer to read some of the more serious news stories on air. Ted, of course, is more interested in the spotlight than anything else and is hesitant to say yes. Lou continues to push him, however, and in the end, Ted agrees to read a segment about poverty and world hunger.

All the while, Mary continues with the wedding preparations and is excited for her role in the wedding ceremony. She's asked to sign the registry as a witness and feels honored to be such an important part of Edie's big day. Then, on the day of the wedding, things take a turn for the worse.

As Edie and Jerry begin to exchange their vows, it quickly becomes apparent that they aren't on the same page. Jerry is more interested in reading from his notes and talking about his career than he is about marrying Edie. Edie, in turn, is hurt and feels like she's been taken for granted. The tension escalates and the two end up having a full-blown fight in the middle of the wedding ceremony, leaving everyone feeling uncomfortable and awkward.

In the end, Mary and Lou both do their best to pick up the pieces and help their friends. Lou talks to Jerry and convinces him to put aside his selfishness and be there for Edie. Mary, on the other hand, helps Edie with the honeymoon plans and tries to get her to see that things will get better over time. With a happy ending in sight, the episode wraps up and fans are left feeling like everything has worked out for the best.
