I've watched the SP several times but did not catch that Denny says "better than the bride" in the scene at the end, probably because I fast forward through scenes with Izzie. Interesting.

if they want to kill her at the end of this season , i dont want izzie and Alex to get married, they are my favorite couple and it will break my heart
I love Alex and how he deals with her , he's my favorite character, and Izzie suits him best
so much with this couple , so many things to feel and to think about
and to lose one of the main characters in GA is like losing it all
I hope shonda is aware of what she's doing , these rumors are getting on my nerves
GA is with meredith , derek ,christina , bailey , chief, o'malley, sloan, callie , izzie, and ALEX
without one of them , the show will lose it tastes !
I don't think that Izzie is going to die. The season premiere was all about fairy tale vs. reality. When Izzie "dreams" of seeing Denny and walking into the light, the voiceover says something about reality being messy but much more interesting than a fairy tale or fantasy (paraphrasing) and then she looks over and there is her messy reality: Alex. So I think that Izzie is finally going to put her fantasy of Denny away and accept her reality with Alex, who is difficult and messy, but who she shares a real history with, unlike Denny who she barely knew and who she was able to project all of her fantasies on because she never got the chance to see any of his flaws and vice-versa.
So I think that Trey might be right. The wedding won't be her dream wedding, because she is sick and it will be in the hospital, but it won't matter because, again, she will have put away her fantasy and fully commit to a future with Alex, her messy but interesting reality. Alex has shown a lot of growth this season and if everything happens this way, then that will be alot of growth for Izzie. She will see how much Alex loves her and how much better a real life is with him than a fantasy.
Having said all that, I still think that Mer/Der will get married before the season is over. Probably in the finale.
I"m sorry but my computer or keyboard is on the fritz I actually have the caps lock down right now to do lower case (???) so if i end up shouting (all caps) i don"t mean to my computer is nuts!
Any way, my point about the quote from Kristen is this-- they normally say the info they get directly is like the word of god or something... like it's fact. So, her choice of description there-- calling it a rumor tells me that she doesn't necessarily think it's true.
OK, I think my computer has returned to norm.

I agree with TDS! Very good points!! AND on another note I think Denny actually said to Izzie "you look better than A bride" not better than the bride.

Amanda, you are right about Denny's comment at the end of the SP. I stand corrected.
I have been an Alex/Izzie fan since Day 1. Sure, she fell in love with Denny. But all along there has been an undertone leading to AI. Even when she was with George. As for the MerDer wedding, as amazing as that would be, I don't think it's going to happen this season. I think there's going to be different drama entirely in the season finale- Ellen Pompeo is pregnant. And she's so small that there's no way they could possibly cover that up on the show. My prediction: Season Finale=MerDer pregnancy.

while i think it would be cute, its been done before (ala a walk to remember). she's "dying" so he wants to give her a wedding. i have liked alex/izzie from season one, they always had great chemistry. however, it just seems so predictable. i think shonda needs to stop messing w/ merder and just let them get married. if really had enough of the makeup/breakup of those two

OMG will you people stop saying Ellen Pompeo is/looks pregnant. You're going to make half of America anorexic if you keep it up. If she was pregnant, officially, we'd know it from a posting on this board. She doesn't even look it. She's tiny.
I agree with greysaddiction - I don't think anyone knows or at least is allowed to let on who is getting married. The reason Ausiello and Kristen are so official is because they are allowed to know and leak. I doubt Shonda will let that leak. The only other time you get legitimate info, officially, IMO is when the spoiler-tv site posts a copy of a script.
Guess all you want, but I suspect we'll learn in a few weeks. I'm ok with that.
Greysaddiction - I do think that Shonda is playing us a little bit with all of these 100 episode rumors. She says it is Mer/Der's wedding day, but they may not get married. Kristen says it is a rumor that they won't get married and Ausiello says that it definitely isn't Mer/Der. At this point I kind of wish they would let us just be surprised. Whatever happens now will kind of be anti-climactic.
A/I does seem to be obvious now, and Shonda hates obvious, but other than Mer/Der I just don't know who it would be. Mark/Lexie is a possibility with Thatcher coming I guess, but that would just be ridiculous to me. I go back and forth on my feelings about an A/I wedding. On one hand, I think that it would be very emotional and I love emotional Alex, but on the other hand, Shonda and the writers don't have much respect for marriage, so whoever is getting married may be doomed. Although, if Alex and Izzie get through her illness together and Izzie lives, I just can't imagine one of them cheating or taking each other for granted and those seem to be the main reasons for marriages to break up on this show. But I never put it past the writers to come up with something contrived.
:-) McCynic--
Greys fans have such a hard time with the whole waiting a few weeks thing, don't we? ;-)

I think that Meredith and Derek will reach the church but not get married.
Its more likely that Izzie does not die and she gets married with Alex.
If there is sure that Greys Anatomy will go for season 6 then it has to be something to "play" with.
If the MerDer couple gets married then the whole primal character 'dies".
Instead maybe MerDer won't get married because something happens to Izzie in the hospital whilw the wedding takes place an there ends the season....without telling us....

I am glad for the AI fans. I just could never get into them. It probably has to do with the fact I have shipped Gizzie from day 1.
I tried though, I really did.
Well does it count if I am happy for the AI fans even if I don't like them?
Thanks Andreanne, that's nice, it counts with me! But my hopes aren't up just yet (although I just saw the photos of them filming at the church). If Shonda gives A/I (and especially Alex) any happiness at all, it will all come crashing down next season, I"m sure :)

MAJOR SPOILER - it seems the Alex and Izzie's have it. Someone just posted these photos on spoiler tv. Check out Alex's suit. Looks to me like he's the groom.

Yeah, and in addition to that, Meredith/Ellen doesn't seem dressed up as a bride. She is wearing a simple purple dress.
Ausiello is now saying in EW website that Mark and Lexie are NOT the ones who will get married. This with the latest pics on set led indeed to a Alex/Izzie wedding...

Latest update- Katherine Heigl was spotted outside the church where they were filming, smoking and wearing a wedding dress!
McCynic Says:
April 16th, 2009 10:47 AM
I think it's pretty clear it's Alex and Izzie. Alex is dressed for it. Someone pointed out Heigl smoking in the wedding dress (now THAT has gotta piss Shonda off - her giving it away for a smoke - not to mention she probably makes it miserable for the rest of the cast and crew - smokers stink). Heigl also has bride-like flowers in her hair. Anyway, it's pretty obvious that Meredith is a bride's maid/MOH, etc. The only one we won't expect to see in the church is Callie...heh.
Relax, Meredith and Derek fans, you'll get your wedding. They do need to draw these things out - build in drama and comedic interludes, get the guest stars in, etc. That is how they maintain the show. Due process. Try and enjoy the ride.
McCynic Says:
April 16th, 2009 11:54 AM
I just thought of something - what if they are surprising Izzie with the wedding. So they lead her to believe they are going for Meredith and Derek's wedding, and when they get there, Alex surprises her that it's for her.
THAT, I bet, is how it is "Meredith and Derek's wedding day".
Amanda Says:
April 16th, 2009 12:20 PM
OR the whole someone getting married could just happen in someone's dream. Who knows?!
McCynic Says:
April 16th, 2009 12:39 PM
Wow - more pics are posted - Callie IS there. So bizzarre.
Good point, Amanda. Who knows.
Keeping dreams in mind, if the season opener sets the tone, it was also a dream.
Ok, Chandra Wilson is saying in an interview that it is Meredith and Derek's wedding that they are currently filming and they are looking for bridemaid's dresses for Izzie, Cristina and Lexie.
