David Boreanaz and Emily Deschanel’s characters tie the knot on ‘Bones.’
Every TV season needs a few weddings, and the 2013-14 crop gets a
properly quirky marital episode Monday night at 9 when Temperance
Brennan (Emily Deschanel) of Fox’s “Bones” finally gets hitched to
Seeley Booth (David Boreanaz).
They didn’t exactly rush into this. The audience knew they were destined for each other when the show started eight seasons ago, even though the principals took a while to catch on.
Things heated up at the end of season six, they had a baby in season seven, and now they’re getting married. Such a modern couple.
Monday’s episode lets Bones demonstrate all her quirks, notably including a lack of social skills, filters and any sense of tact.
The wedding invitation scene is an instant classic.
Elsewhere on the TV wedding front this season, “The Mentalist” on CBS had a small wedding last weekend that could be a prelude to a larger one.
But it’s not Teresa Lisbon (Robin Tunney) and Patrick Jane (Simon Baker), the centerpiece “will they/won’t they” couple, who so far won’t.
No, we saw the unsurprising engagement of agents Wayne Rigsby (Owain Yeoman) and Grace Van Pelt (Amanda Righetti).
On ABC’s “Scandal,” President Fitz (Tony Goldwyn) keeps saying he wants to divorce his wife Mellie (Bellamy Young) and marry Olivia Pope (Kerry Washington), but don’t look for Olivia to register at Macy’s any time soon.
In that same boat, Emily (Emily Van Camp) and Daniel (Josh Bowman) are engaged on ABC’s “Revenge.” History tells us that union is about as stable as the Syrian stock market.
The starting point of NBC’s “Welcome to the Family” is that Junior Hernandez (Joey Haro) and Molly Yoder (Ella Rae Peck) have to get married. It’s a shotgun wedding with a double barrel of urgency, though, because it’s possible the show won’t last long enough for us to see it.
