"The One With The Engagement Picture" is the fifth episode of the seventh season of Friends, which aired on NBC on November 2, 2000.
Plot
"Monica and Chandler's" engagement picture.
Monica's mom arranged to get their wedding announced in the paper, but they need to get a picture from a professional photographer as any camera makes Chandler grin look like a hyena. Phoebe dates Kyle, who knows both Chandler and Ross -the one who nicknamed him 'Hums While He Pees'- from their basketball club. Ross gets to divert his crazy ex Whitney by taking her to a ballroom dance-date. Rachel is completely smitten with her office assistant Tag, enough to smell his clothes and be jealous when their colleague Melissa asks him out. Rachel even pays Joey to take Tag out, first to a Knicks game, then to a bar where they meet dozens of potential rivals for Rachel. Rachel then bribes Joey with free Ralph Lauren shirts to stop picking up women together so Tag will stop too but Tag decides to go back to his ex-girlfriend. The show ends with Monica showing everyone the wedding announcement- with Joey posing as Chandler.

Goofs
- In the shot of the paper with the picture of Monica and Joey, the announcement written there starts out fine, but near the end the middle part is just repeated.
