The wedding went off without a hitch.
It's the goal. And while all that really matters is that you leave the church married, it's always nice when things good off without a hitch. And given that this was elaborate affair pulled together at great trouble and no small expense, you would think that this would be a good thing.
But in this case, it's necessary to add a comma to that statement. The wedding went off, without a hitch. As in, the wedding went way off track, and the bride and groom were not married.
And, yes, given that the bride is totally, unmistakably, legally married to some guy she jumped over a broomstick with in Fiji four years ago, having the wedding stopped (by the State Department, no less) was probably for the best. Even though that leaves a room full of people who are not about to see the wedding they came to see.
Which is a problem. But Angela and Hodgins have wisely taken the advice of counsel in the form of Carolyn Julian, federal prosecutor, wedding guest, and problem-solver extraordinaire. That advice being, "Run. Flee, scam, skedaddle."
So that's exactly what they do, leaving their guests to enjoy the reception without them.
