The One Moment That Convinced The Friends Creators To Get Chandler And Monica Together

She was his best friend’s little sister and he was her brother’s college roommate, and for four full seasons, they were just part of a group of friends who were always be there for one another. Their apartments were across the hall from each other and they each had separate romances, but at the end of Season 4 of “Friends,” a drunken night ended with Monica Geller and Chandler Bing — played by Courteney Cox and Matthew Perry — in bed together in a London hotel room. And that’s where it was supposed to end.
As that season came to a close, the friends were all in London for Ross Geller and Emily’s wedding (we all know how that ended). Ross ended up saying Rachel’s name rather than Emily’s during the vows and that put a stop to the wedding real fast (Season 4, Episode 24). But the real shocker during that story arrived the morning of the wedding, when Chandler and Monica woke up next to each other.

Monica and Chandler’s one-night stand turned into something far greater
“As the series evolved, it would tell us where it wanted to go,” co-creator David Crane told Today in 2019. “We didn’t really know that Chandler and Monica were gonna end up together until even after that episode in London where they wake up in bed together. And the audience went insane. Originally that was going to be a thing, like a little mistake and funny. And they were so great together, and it kept giving us stories.”
