Izzie got her dream wedding after all.
After Denny reappeared and Derek pinpointed a new, probably inoperable tumor on Izzie's brain, he, Meredith and Bailey decided to make their wedding day into Izzie's.
With Cristina as the maid of honor and Meredith as the best man, and George helping his ailing best friend down the aisle when she nearly fainted, Izzie and Alex tied the knot after he recited possibly the sweetest vows ever, and their teary colleagues looked on.
In short, it was perfect.

I thought it was perfect. I loved how they handled Denny coming back. It was a very moving episode with just enough humor. I STILL don't care to see this much of Callie. As much as I appreciated the whole theme going on in the ER, enough of her! I like Arizona though.

I loved it. It was absolutely perfect. It wouldn't have been Meredith and Derek's wedding anyway, because it wasn't how they wanted it to be, it was how Izzie wanted it to be. So I love that she got to have her dream wedding.
I cried like a baby at the end, I thought it was really beautiful!

It was the perfect wedding for Izzie and Alex. Alex look Hot in his tux and Izzie dress was really pretty. I cried when George walked Izzie down and Alex vows to her were just breath taking and i love the part ware he seads hurry up but the wedding was great and i hope Izzie does not die and leave her Husband that she just got married by him self. She needs to fight for this so Her and Alex can have a great life together and we can see them next year on season 6 as Husband and wife and she what changelles they go through so Please don't Die Izzie Alex is happy now and they both love each other I Like all the Izzie and Alex fan would love to see Izzie live and see her and Alex live happly ever after. But in one of the interviews with just on the view. They asked him if they are all coming back and he sead yes. So that must mean that Izzie Lives She needs to live to be with Alex Live Izzie

I cried like a baby through the whole episode. It was really moving. I am disappointed though that MerDer did not get married, allthough the big church wedding wasn't really their style. So I guess I'd already predicted that Izzie and Alex would get married instead. Their wedding was really beautiful I must say. I just bawled through it all. Izzie got to have her dream wedding, and MerDer will too hopefully. In a ceremony that's more MerDer. Also, I loved that Mer was Alex's bestman. Their friendship is so unique and I just wanna see more of it. I seems like next week is all about Izzie, at least if you watch the promos. Not a single teaser about MerDer. So now I don't have any anticipations at all for the finale. I think they should have given at least something to all the MerDer fans who have been fooled.

Bravo!! That episode was beautiful, moving and heartbreaking all at the same time! Alex is such a wonderful man! Damaged and all, which we all know that he is! What he said to Izzie made me cry!! The part where Derek finally saw the small tumor on the scan and told Bailey there was nothing that he could do.... my god! I think he is going to end up operating and he will save her. She can not die! She is my favorite and the show would not be the same without her! Can't wait to watch it again!!

The most beautiful wedding ever. it was so moving to see George get past his resentment and the look he gave Alex proves he has finally grown up. Izzie, the most beautiful bride ever. She is the heart of the show. And Chandra, my God what an actress! That look when Derek tells her he can do nothing more for Izzie.
I found it disturbing to see Denny all in black, as the angel of death. Truly, it stayed with me all night. But of course, that is how Izzie sees him. I think he symbolized the tumor darkening her mind, he was portrayed as a shadow because they couldn't really see the tumor. A truly chilling portrayal of the insidious nature of cancers. These writers have recovered their genius. And bravo to JDM for hitting the precise notes of restraint and sorrow.

I agree with Tammie i think Izzie and Alex will go ahead with the surgery and save her. and Alex would be even more damaged if Izzie Died on on just a week after the wedding I love Alex he is my McDream. I think she will live next week cause she wants to be with Alex. She needs to live so she and Alex can have a wounderful married life and we can see whats the married couple is going to do in the 6th season of Alex and Izzie i love the chemistery between them and you can tell that Alex cares very much for Izzie I love Izzie she is also one of my favorites but Alex is my McDreamy so Derek will probley end up doing the surgery and saving her life I don't want her to die at all Alex is already happy now he does not need to be damaged any more. When i saw the promo and Mar was screaming That freaked me out cause i am hoping that was not for Izzie. I cried at the hole wedding part ware George had to help her walk down that was very touching to see him helping his best friend and walking her up to Alex and his vow to her just cry i thought that was very sweet and to see baileys face that she was about to cry was sad to but i like the part ware Alex sead hurry up that was funny. and the part ware Izzie is losing her hair and then is bold I cry that was sad cause she did not look good bold but Alex was breath treaking Please don't Die Izzie we need you and we need Alex not to be damaged anymore Please live I also think that shondra Rhimes will contiue the story out with Alex and Izzie as married couple cause that is what all Izzie and Alex fan want to see how their marrige goes after her cancer is gone and the fact that she can not leave Alex and damage him anymore I feel really bad for Alex its just breaks my hart to see Alex like this So Damaged and sad So please keep Izzie on

TOP NOTCH! I loved every minute of it. It could not have been any better. The staff outdid themselves! 110%.

Loved the episode - everything was just right. I'm also a mer/der fan, but them not getting married was okay - they will in their own time.
Loved that George came full circle back to being Izzie's friend and him giving her away to Alex.
Loved Cristina taking down the ceiling fan.
Anyone else notice what Owen said to George? "Trauma is a team, you go where you're needed." George is going to realize that he is "needed" as a medic in the military and that's what will lead to his decision to go there.
