This week’s Grey’s Anatomy went down pretty much as I expected it would. It just seemed so sweet and fitting that Izzie and Alex would get married rather than Derek and Meredith. And so bittersweet, considering that Izzie likely would have married Denny had he not died before they had the chance. Now she’s in that same situation, only she’s the one in the hospital bed.
But are you sad that Derek and Meredith didn’t get married? I can’t say that I am. This big affair really wasn’t their kind of wedding. I picture them getting married in an operating room or something.
I wonder if either Meredith or the writers knew that it would be Izzie and Alex who walked down the aisle as husband and wife. Or maybe it just grew organically out of the storyline. I can halfway see Meredith letting Izzie plan the wedding, while all along knowing that Izzie was, in effect, planning her own wedding to Alex. I mean, how cool is that?
What do you think? Anyone read Shonda Rhimes’ blog? Was it planned all along? Are you happy to see Izzie and Alex tie the knot? Are you sad that Derek and Meredith didn’t get married?

I called that Alex and Izzie would be getting married as soon as the spoilers leaked that there would be a wedding. How exactly it would happen or why I didn’t know, but it was right. I don’t think Shonda planned it. Or Meredith. It just happened. Because that is what was right.
I liked it because indeed it wasnt the kind of wedding I expected Mer and Der to have, its not them, its not Greys way. And it was Izzie organising it, Izzie always dreaming of weddings and dresses (since Denny) and Izzie who may die and should really be getting married a.s.a.p so I loved it that it took this turn and I was very surprised to see Alex standing up for it, he really has changed, in so many ways, since season 1. Now I can’t wait to see Mer and Der’s moment, the simpler, the better. And I hope Izzie doesn’t die. I think this is still Grey’s Anatomy (not Izzie’s anatomy) and other characters would be missed as much as her, but even then; I still want her around, she’s one of the fab five.
