At the end of last year, Monica's (Cox Arquette) bad luck with men finally ended with Chandler's (Perry) acceptance of her proposal. After living together for a while now, the couple is embarking on the road to the altar and will be experiencing all the joy and angst the comes with it. Monica has a real maternal, caretaking side (not that she would ever admit it) that makes her the center of the group, although the pending nuptials will shift the dynamic a bit. As a professional chef, she has had to work hard to gain the respect of her co-workers.
