The wedding took place on May 12

The wedding of Sheldon Cooper and Amy Farrah Fowler took place on May 12. The episode, titled "The Bow Tie Asymmetry", aired on May 10, 2018, and was the season finale of the show's eleventh season. The wedding date was revealed in the episode "The Athenaeum Allocation", in which Sheldon and Amy handed out "save the date" cards featuring an MRI scan of each of their brains kissing.

The wedding was a highly anticipated event, coming at the end of what has been described as the "slowest courtship in TV history". Sheldon proposed to Amy at the end of season 10, and she accepted at the beginning of season 11. In the lead-up to the wedding, the couple faced various challenges, including choosing their wedding party without hurting their friends' feelings and dealing with illness among the wedding party and guests.

The wedding episode featured a large guest list, including returning cast members and surprise appearances by celebrities such as Mark Hamill, who played himself and also officiated the wedding. The episode also included a number of emotional moments, such as a heart-to-heart between Sheldon and his mother, Mary, who wished that Sheldon's late father could be there to see his son get married.

Sheldon and Amy's relationship and wedding were significant milestones in the show, as they marked the development and growth of Sheldon's character over the years, from a socially inept genius to someone capable of maintaining a romantic relationship and prioritizing it over his work.

Mark Hamill officiated the wedding

Hamill played himself in the episode, which aired on May 10, 2018. He replaced Star Trek: The Next Generation star Wil Wheaton as the wedding officiant after Howard Wolowitz found his lost dog, Bark Hamill.

Hamill was taken aback by the couple's touching vows and was almost too emotional to continue. Choking back tears, he pronounced them husband and wife, saying: "Then by the power vested in me by evenyoucanperformweddings.com, I now pronounce you husband and wife."

Sheldon and Amy's families attended the wedding

Sheldon Cooper and Amy Farrah Fowler's wedding was a highly anticipated event, with the couple finally tying the knot after a slow-burning romance. The episode, titled "The Bow Tie Asymmetry", aired on May 10, 2018, and featured the arrival of both the bride and groom's families.

Sheldon's family, the Coopers, included his mother, Mary Cooper, his older brother, George Cooper Jr., and his sister, Missy Cooper. The family's presence added a layer of complexity to the wedding preparations, with Mary threatening to boycott the wedding unless Sheldon invited his estranged brother, George. This led to a heartwarming reconciliation between the brothers, with Sheldon and Leonard flying to Texas to mend their relationship.

Amy's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Fowler, also played a significant role in the festivities. Their presence added to the guest list, which was already quite large. Amy's mother, in particular, had a memorable moment during the ceremony when she stood up to take Amy home, believing that Sheldon had stood her up. Penny, a close friend of the couple, intervened, assuring Mrs. Fowler that Sheldon loved Amy and would never hurt her.

The episode also featured other returning characters, including Georgie and Missy Cooper, who sat in the front row during the ceremony, and Amy's father, Larry Fowler, played by Teller, the magician-comedian.

Amy's mother was put in her place by Penny

Amy's mother, Mrs Fowler, is put in her place by Penny during Sheldon and Amy's wedding. Mrs Fowler is convinced that Sheldon has stood her daughter up and is about to take Amy home. Penny tells her to sit back down, explaining that Sheldon loves Amy and would never hurt her. Penny's words cause Amy's father to thank her for reprimanding his wife.

Penny and Amy's friendship has not always been smooth sailing. Despite their future husbands being best friends, the two women initially had very little in common. In one instance, Amy gave Penny puzzles to compare her intelligence to that of lab chimps. Penny was understandably upset about the tests, but the situation was set aside after the group learned of Mrs. Wolowitz's death.

In another instance, Amy and Sheldon decided to conduct a series of tests to determine who out of their friends is scientifically the best fit to be their maid of honour and best man. Although Amy wasn't specifically targeting Penny with this round of tests, it still seemed like a bold move considering how poorly Penny reacted the last time. The group found out about the tests and confronted the couple, who agreed to call them off. The ordeal also caused Penny to realise how much she wanted to be chosen as Amy's maid of honour, which is a clear indication that Amy is Penny's best friend. When Penny revealed this information, Amy was overjoyed and agreed that Penny should be her maid of honour.
