If you’ve been bummed out by all my end-of-season death charts and suicide blind items, I’ve got just the pick-me-up for you: Lost and Grey’s Anatomy are both heading for weddings!
An ABC insider confirms that Lost will begin filming a wedding ceremony later today that is slated to air during the show’s two-hour finale on May 13. Who’s getting hitched? Here are a pair of clues: Actors of Asian-American descent are being sought to play extras, and the wedding will take place on the mainland, not the island. That pretty much rules out Jack/Kate or Sawyer/Juliet. “One theory is that it’s a flashback to Sun and Jin’s wedding,” whispers a Lost insider. “But the wild rumor is that Sun and Jin’s daughter will marry Aaron in the future.”
Over at Grey’s, series creator Shonda Rhimes has already confirmed that one of the show’s couples will tie the knot later this season, and there’s increasingly loud buzz that the event will take place on May 7, during the show’s landmark 100th episode, appropriately titled “Beautiful Day.” Adding to the speculation: The episode will feature a minister.
The bigger question than when it will happen, of course, is who is walking down the aisle? One source close to Grey’s says Derek and Meredith will finally take the plunge — something a show spokesperson would neither confirm nor deny.
Keep in mind, Rhimes said viewers would be surprised by the wedding. What would be so surprising about a Mer-Der ceremony? Ironically, the speed with which it would have taken place. Sure, the star-crossed lovers have been dating for five years, but a May 7 wedding would make for a lightning-fast, seven-week engagement (that’s assuming Mer accepts Der’s elevator proposal this Thursday, and all indications are that she will).
“Shonda is probably counting on fans thinking a Der-Mer engagement would be just as drawn out as their courtship,” speculates one Grey’s insider. “So to marry them off seven weeks after getting engaged would certainly qualify as a surprise.”
Do you agree? Would a Mer-Der wedding catch you off guard? Or do you think Rhimes is pulling a bait-and-switch and one of the show’s other couples will exchange “I do’s”? And what about the Lost nuptials? Which theory are you buying into? Take your speculation and reaction to the comments section!

I think it’d be more surprising to see Alex marry Izzie if things looked grim for her. Cristina marrying Owen would also be surprising.
Derek and Mer would NOT be surprising at all, regardless of “pace.”
I would actually be very surprised to see a Mer-Der wedding… because after all, one year of Grey’s time takes three years of real time…so in essence, they would be getting married after only 2-ish weeks of getting engaged…I think that they are going to want to draw it out longer…I think it is going to be a renewal of vows…maybe the Chief and his wife….or it is going to be a death-bed wedding of Izzie and Alex. Who knows! I look forward to finding out!
Maybe it is Izzie and Alex??
I hope its a Sawyer/Juliet wedding! They’d make cute babies
It would catch me more off guard if Alex and Izzie suddenly married than it would if Mer/Derek did.
I think it will be Izzy and Alex. Since will most likly die, she will need to have someone to leave all her money from Denny too.
Alex and Izzie get hitched just before she kills herself!
No, a MerDer is not surprising, its predictable.
I hope it’s Meredith and Derek.
Alex/Izzie would be ridicolous. Plus she’s dying.
Izzie gave all her money from denny to the clinic.
MerDer is not predictable. It’s about time.
What about Sloan and Little Grey? Alex and Izzy are the obvious choice – even above Mer/Der, but Sloan and Little Grey are blissfully happy. Although based on previous short engagements, inter-hospital marriages never work out. (George/Callie, for example).
Or maybe the pregnant intern is going to marry her baby daddy? Will anyone care if she does? Do we even know her name????
Izzy & Alex or Sloan & Lexie
I would count Owen & Cristina out for several reasons: Cristina’s failed wedding; Owen’s issues; rumors of violence forthcoming with Owen towards Cristina
I think it may be Izzie and Alex – it fits.
Probably Izzy. I love Katherine.
