Interesting new spoilers posted by Leanne. So who do you think the couple getting married will be? I personally think Callie and Arizona. I think Meredith and Derek can make it official... them not being legally married have a lot of implications, like her not being able to make medical care decisions for him .... so I think they may do it for real this time Callie and Arizona I would like that but Washington State doesn't allow same sex marriage..... so except they do another post-it wedding I don't think how they will do it ... but in Shonda's world... who knows!!! is it September yet? Or I guess Callie and Arizona can always fly elsewhere and tie the knot where it IS legal. Not sure California would have changed the law before the first episode started filming but there's another State where it's legal, right?

Just an idle thought...since I can't decide who I hope is getting married or make myself really think deeply about why Lexie is brunette again.
Does it seem like there's a boatload of stuff going on in the SP which makes it difficult to imagine getting through it all in one hour (or 42 minutes of actual plot?)
Recap -
Cristina takes the fallout of the shooting hard; Cristina and Owen take their relationship to the next level
The much debated engagement and wedding
Derek gets released from the hospital and maybe arrested
Lexie has a breakdown
Alex nurtures his tough guy image post-surgery and reminds us all of Chandler Bing with his talk of three nipples
Meredith nurtures Lexie through her breakdown while moving Kepner and Avery into her house (any more obvious they're 'replacing' Izzie and George?) and figuring out how to tell Derek about her miscarriage
Webber steps back up as chief
Arizona and Callie discuss/freak out over an as yet unknown question
Bailey won't let anyone see what's really going on with her
counseling sessions for all involved
Teddy making out with the counselor
I'm confused already! (Though I look forward with anticipation to the discussion that will unleash around here as more spoilers are leaked.)

Ella, I am totally with you. I struggle to see how they would squeeze that into a double ep let alone a single (which it is)! I honestly don't know how they're going to do it unless some of it has happened already and we're only told about it when the season opens (eg. there's a spoiler of one of the doctors flying back from somewhere - perhaps Callie or Arizona after their nuptials??). I really have no clue how it's all going to pan out but I will admit that it has me interested.

Or I guess Callie and Arizona can always fly elsewhere and tie the knot where it IS legal. Not sure California would have changed the law before the first episode started filming but there's another State where it's legal, right? There are 6 states in the U.S. that have made same sex marriage legal. BUT states where it is not legal are not required to recognize those out of state marriages as legal, and the vast majority (including Washington state) do not. So no, Callie and Arizona can't just come visit me here in Massachusetts, get married under Massachusetts law, then go back and be wife and wife in Washington. Washington state does recognize same sex "domestic partnerships" so there is a legal step they could take. But many proponents of gay marriage regard these "all but marriage" laws as a form of second-class citizenship for gay couples, and it's hard to imagine Shonda using the show as a way to endorse them. This spoiler says the marriage will involve one of the three couples mentioned (C/O, C/A and A/L), so Mer/Der are not a possibility. I'm still thinking it will be C/O, but the thought makes me nervous on many levels - - marriage does not equal happiness in Shondaland!

But wouldn't it be just like Shonda to give us a Cristina/Owen engagement and wedding, and have it take all of about 3 minutes of screen time? Seriously, it is possible that a couple of the things you listed above happen in the second episode rather than the first. But you are correct - it is still a very full plate. I'm confused as well!

Maybe it's sick and twisted, but I am so excited for this storyline for Cristina. Sandra Oh is going to KILL IT!!
And if the character of Cristina is going through such a huge change, it's not unimaginable that Cristina and Owen could be the 2 to wed. It seems inconsistent with the Cristina we know and love but clearly we are about to be introduced to an entirely different person in season 7. I can't wait!

You've tapped into the same thrill I get when I imagine Sandra Oh having something so vibrant and heartbreaking to act through that's not based on triangulation. This Cristina is coming off of a season in which she found her emotional life and embraced it. To my eyes, she was also clear that her emotional life encompassed her need for there to be a 'me and Owen.' We also saw Owen step up and face his Before and be able to move fully into After/Present with Cristina. Whatever these big changes are, given this information paired with Kevin's comments about Cristina and Owen taking their relationship to the next level makes me look forward with much anticipation to S.7. These two broken and flawed characters have been through so much, individually and together, that I can't wait to see what happens next.

mmm Im not so sure its O/C Ive just read EW's take on the same spoiler and they indicate that its more likely Mer/Der (think the post it didnt do it for there fans so perhaps they are now doing it properly)
just wondering it they would refer to Calzone as Bride and Groom tho'
ref to Kaz's post ~ EW's take on the wedding in the spoilers thread

Okay, so according to this ca.eonline.com/uberblog/watch_with_kristin/b194575_shhhhh_one_of_tvs_best-loved_couples.html? one of the above couples will get engaged and will marry - Cristina/Owen are the only one's from Greys. So IF all the spoilers talk about the same wedding, it'll be O/C. And the hints would be right as well. A beloved couple, but not from all people (not from the Teddy/Owen or Cristina/Jackson shippers), they're not engaged and I forgot about the other two. ;D So if it really was those two, it would mean that we'll see Owen's mum or Cristina's mum again, because someone spoiled "1-2 of the couple's parents will be there" (on the Greys wedding). I don't know if I'm happy about it or not. I think, if they sort out their problems as a married couple or as a "normal" couple, is equal on Greys. In Real Life, of course, it wouldn't work like this but - hell, we're on a drama TV show.

If its OC probably Owen's mom b/c the actress who plays Helen (cristina's mom) is busy filming a tv show in China. But who knows. If its them I'd like it to be something small without drama (no Mer/Der even) and simple but fitting. That too much to ask? I'd like for them to keep it to themselves for a bit too. I think it will be something like Owen asks her if she will move in with him again and she says no I don't want to move in with you, I want to get married. Since they have said O/C take it to the next level, I think its possibly them but since its Shondaland and the timing of Prop 8 overturn, its likely they will have a shot gun Calzone wedding instead.

I would be happy with that scenario for Owen and Cristina as well. I'm still undecided as to who I think the couple getting married is and I think there's a chance that there might be 2 wedding spoilers about 2 different shows floating around as there was a blind item from EW (I think) which made it sound like a couple would wed at the end of the season. The GA wedding is right at the start and very quick. I'm so confused! Part of me still thinks that Callie and Arizona could be the couple but I think it's been explained to me upthread that their marriage wouldn't be recognised in Washington so notwithstanding the Prop 8 overturn, it's still not legal in Seattle (also, I think the overturn took place after the first episode had been filmed - certainly after it had been written - so unless they went back and changed things like a week ago, I'm not sure that the timing fits). I wish the premiere would just hurry up and get here.

I wish the premiere would just hurry up and get here. I'm becoming more and more convinced that it will be Cristina and Owen. Didn't Kevin send Leanne a message right after the shooting for the season started - - it was posted in one of the threads here - - saying something like "shooting first episode. Very interesting developments already." At the time, it didn't seem significant, but now, combined with all the spoilers we've seen, that "very interesting" comment takes on new meaning! This (the very quick wedding) would be a classic Shonda move - - it would thrill some elements of the fan base while infuriating others; it will be a surprise even with all the spoilers (since a lot of people are still expecting Callie and Arizona to be the couple); it puts a definitive end to the triangle so that Teddy can clearly be seen to have moved on, which has to happen if the character is to be salvaged (a lot of people who don't like the Cristina/Owen pairing still disliked Teddy, because they saw her as a means of causing pain for Cristina). And it leaves ample opportunity for there to be drama in the Cristina/Owen relationship in future. Marriages are not simple "happy endings" on Grey's. I think Shonda had a whole story line worked out for Alex and Izzie (interrupted by KH's departure), in which their relationship was tested because they got married too soon because of Izzie's illness. Substitute "Cristina's trauma" for "Izzie's illness" and you get the idea. It even fits with the Burke history - - we won't see the engagement and wedding planning because we already saw that with Burke; we will get to see Cristina have the wedding she always said was all she wanted (a quick trip to city hall with no wedding trappings at all) but was denied because Burke had other ideas. So I have come to believe it will be Cristina and Owen. But I won't be disappointed if it isn't - - if they "take it to the next level" as Kevin said in the TVGuide article, without the "next level" including marriage, I'd be fine with that.

My fear is if it is them they might put OC on the very back burner and focus on the new cast only bringing them to the forefront during sweeps. So I hope its not a double edged sword in a way. My guess is if it is OC they are doing it partly to appease some fans who grew tired of the triangle in S6.

This is the note from Kevin I was remembering - sent to Leanne on July 23 in response to a question about Bunkaru and posted in the thread "Heads Up from Kevin." They are filming episode 3 now; on July 23 they were probably filming the season premiere:
"I know- bunraku is at last near completion and I think they are at comic con this week "Anyway - s7 is up and running - very interesting developments already ..
"Take care now !
Kev"

"Take care now ! Kev" I suppose the interesting developments could be anything (or related to any character) but the more I think this through, the more I think that Owen & Cristina make the most sense as the couple getting married. Alex and Lexie would just be so ridiculous - firstly, Alex is still hung up on Izzie and I'm not convinced Lexie is over Mark. Secondly, doesn't Lexie end up in a psych ward? Thirdly, Alex has only just finalised his divorce from Izzie. Surely Shonda wouldn't throw him into a marriage right away, especially one based on a half-hearted relationship... Callie and Arizona would make sense were it not for the fact that marriage isn't presently legal in that State (unless in Shonda's fictional world it is). I suppose they could have some sort of commitment ceremony and the spoilers might be using the word "marriage" loosely but I just don't know. That just leaves Owen and Cristina. As I said, this would be completely out of character for the old Cristina but not necessarily for the Cristina who's just had to operate on her best friend's "husband" while having a gun pressed to her head and has watched the man she loves get shot. Anything is really possible now. What scares me is that Shonda's never actually let a marriage survive on the show - post it marriages aside - but perhaps there's a first time for everything and this "rebirth" in season 7 is as much about a fresh start for the characters as it is for the writers...A girl can dream, right??!

kaz said it perfectly, I think. I'm just gonna quote Bailey "I share that dream." If they really are the couple that gets married, I'm a little bit afraid that Shonda pulls a second Alex/Izzie off. So while Cristina's beginning to recover from her own PTSD, everything works and afterwards, she realizes that it was too soon or something like that. :/

Well they are keeping Teddy around for a reason,aside from being Cristina's teacher, which is why I think they will wait until OC are about to get hitched before re-introducing the triangle again or vice versa if Teddy is moving on. This is GA we're talking about I wouldn't put it past Shonda. I'm sure that Cristina feeling insecure about marriage again is going to resurface if it is OC getting engaged.

I dont know about that scenario, Marryme. Sounds to me from the specific GA spoiler and not the blind items that a couple gets engaged and hitched all in the first episode of the season. We have confirmation that the triangle hasnt reared its ugly head for at least the first few episodes.
