Amy: Excuse me, I'm going to go see if the couple at the front of the line needs a maid of honour. Amy: Who is it? And all from a country whose entire contribution to the global economy, has been Tetris and mail-order brides. Bernadette: Are any of them still married? Bernadette: So anyway, we decided to go down to City Hall this afternoon get married, and then have the reception when Howard gets back. Dimitri: Me, too. Fantastic and the Invisible Girl get married. Howard and Bernadette, I know you two planned on getting married in a big fancy wedding, but when you're in love, it doesn't matter where or how these things happen. Howard: I told you we are not recreating the wedding from The Sound of Music. Howard: Okay, but I'm going to have to get it back from you so I can take it to the International Space Station. I want to wear my maid of honour dress and walk down the aisle with a hundred eyes on me, while a string quartet plays The Way You Look Tonight. Is there anything else I'm not allowed to do? Leonard: Hmm. Leonard: Sheldon, what channel is NASA TV? Leonard: Thank you, Amy. Leonard: There's Howard's rocket, live from Kazakhstan. Let's get married. Mike Massimino: Yeah. Mrs Wolowitz (off): They invented the lightbulb in New Jersey. Penny: Good move telling Sheldon. Penny: Well, that's easy. Raj: Howard and Bernadette, the five of us stand before you as your friends and newly ordained ministers. Raj: Penny. Scene: Soyuz capsule. Scene: The apartment. Scene: The roof. Sheldon: Boldly go, Howard Wolowitz. Sheldon: He asked her during coitus. Very touching. What I was going to suggest is if that you're willing to wait until Sunday morning, the Google satellite will be over Pasadena. You're going to wear that thing to City Hall?

Summary: Howard and his two fellow astronauts Dimitri Rezinov and Mike Massimino are in the Soyuz capsule, awaiting lift-off to the International Space Station from Kazakhstan. Nervous and not looking forward to the launch, Howard begins to reflect on the last couple of days, revealing that he married Bernadette before he left. When Bernadette receives a necklace from Howard with a star pendant on it which he plans to take with him to space, she tells him that they need to get married before he goes to space. They decide to get married in City Hall that very afternoon with only their friends as guests. Amy is devastated that her position as Maid of Honor has been reduced to nothing, but is allowed to wear the dress she bought to City Hall. Unfortunately, they do not get married that day as there are too many other couples in front of them. Raj then suggests that they get married on the roof of Leonard, Sheldon and Penny's apartment building on Sunday morning, which will coincide with the Google satellite taking new photographs of Pasadena, with himself, Leonard, Sheldon, Penny and Amy as ministers. The wedding takes place successfully. While Howard and Bernadette exchange their vows, the camera pulls back from the apartment roof - showing a glimpse of Mrs. Wolowitz - and then pulls back further to a view of the planet Earth. The episode ends with Howard being launched into space. Everyone nervously watches the space launch from Leonard and Sheldon's apartment. Bernadette takes Raj's hand, Penny takes Leonard's hand, and a very surprised Amy has her hand taken by Sheldon who wishes Howard well with the words "Boldly go, Howard Wolowitz".
