Goofs:

Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): When Stottlemeyer shows the pictures to Randy, Monk asks if there are pictures of Trudy. Trudy was Monk's wife. The person he's referring to is Teresa, the bride to be.

Quotes:

[about the "police officer" at a bachelorette party]
Natalie Teeger: Mr. Monk, he's not a real cop. He's a stripper.
Adrian Monk: I don't think so.
Natalie Teeger: Didn't you see his badge? It says "Officer Feelgood."
Capt. Stottlemeyer: Monk, the guy's got dollar bills sticking out of his belt.
Adrian Monk: I thought he'd lost his wallet.

The Wildest Wedding Ever

This is a wild story that begins with an obnoxious cameraman assigned to photograph a wedding threatening someone on the phone. Minutes later, he is clubbed over the head with a rock and dumped into a mud bath.

It's the same wedding that Natalie has to go to the next day as it is her brother being married. It seems Natalie comes from very rich parents, ones who have alienated her and ones whom she doesn't associated much with. Nevertheless, she's there and with Randy as her date because he's the only guy she can get after her real date canceled out at the last minute with an appendicitis. Anyway, not long after they are there, Randy gets run over by a car. The act was deliberate. Then, the corpse pops up after a woman goes in for mud-bath. Wow - what next?

Obviously, this was a very entertaining episode full of interesting scenes. Ashley Williams was fascinating as Teresa, the woman marrying Natalie's brother.
