What You'll Learn
Will and Vince's breakup
The first breakup occurs when Vince is fired from his job and ends up staying on Will's couch, which doesn't go over well. They get back together in Season 8, but when Will chooses to support his pregnant best friend Grace over Vince, the two break up again. This time, the breakup has more serious consequences, as it is revealed in the 2005 series finale that Will and Grace are no longer on good terms and are living separate lives.
Despite their breakups, Will and Vince remain friends, and Will is invited to Vince's wedding to his new boyfriend, Ryan. Will struggles with the idea of attending the wedding and is determined to get closure from Vince about why he was dumped. At the wedding, Grace intervenes to prevent Will from causing a scene, and the two former lovers share an awkward photo together.
The episode featuring Vince and Ryan's wedding received mixed reviews from fans, with some praising the brilliant toasts and comedic skill, while others found it painful to watch and criticized Will's portrayal as a juvenile narcissist. Despite the breakup, there is still a glimmer of hope for Will and Vince's relationship, as actor Bobby Cannavale posted a photo on set, hinting at a possible reunion.

Grace's toast
Grace begins her toast at the wedding by acknowledging Will's controlling tendencies, but also highlighting his good intentions. She says, "Of course, you're a little controlling, but that's only because you want to bring out the best in people." Grace's words provide insight into Will's character and his well-meaning, yet sometimes misguided, attempts to help those around him.
In her toast, Grace expresses her genuine happiness for Vince and his new partner, Ryan. She notes how Vince's commitment issues seem to be a thing of the past, and she is glad to see him moving on and finding lasting love. Grace's words showcase her support for Vince's happiness, even if it means letting go of their shared past.
Grace also takes a moment in her toast to address Will directly. She reassures him that his presence at the wedding is not only tolerated but also welcomed, despite his initial hesitation to attend. Grace's words serve as a reminder that, although the past may be painful, it is important to find closure and celebrate the joy of the present moment.
Finally, Grace raises a glass to the happy couple, wishing them all the best for their future together. She thanks Vince and his new husband for bringing everyone together to celebrate their love and for creating an opportunity to reflect on the importance of love, friendship, and moving forward.
