Notes and Trivia

 * thumb|300px|right|Engaged and Confused WB TrailerThis episode marks the destruction of two of The Triad members. One is vanquished when Piper froze him and Paige orbed him in front of a fireball and the other is vanquished by Piper's molecular combustion power. In the next episode, the last one, Candor, is vanquished by Christy and it's later revealed that this Triad is the same Triad from season 3 in new bodies.
 * It is confirmed for the first time that Christy is actually working with the Triad. This adds her to a long line of evil blondes the Charmed Ones have faced over the years, including Hecate, Julie and the Stillman Sisters.
 * The fact that the defeat of the Triad didn't return Leo shows that they weren't the ultimate threat. It eventually takes Christy's death for Leo to be returned.
 * Paige wears a wedding dress for the second time. She already wore one in House Call, glamouring into Glen's bride, Jessica.
 * Phoebe and Piper conjured Paige's wedding dress.
 * Paige is the last Charmed One to be married. This means that the sisters were all married according to age: Prue was first in Bride and Gloom, then Piper and Leo in Just Harried, followed by Phoebe in Marry-Go-Round and Rewitched. Phoebe, however, will re-marry for the third and final time in Forever Charmed.
 * The Elders send a Cupid to help Phoebe in finding love. Another Cupid was previously seen in Heartbreak City. Curiously, Phoebe fell for both of them.
 * When Paige tells Henry that she's going up against The Triad, Henry insists that he goes as well to help them. The scene is very similar to the one in Deja Vu All Over Again where Andy insists that he goes with Prue and her sisters to defeat Inspector Rodriguez.
 * Phoebe walks into an apartment of a suspicious person only to find it unoccupied for the second time on the show. The first time was in Wicca Envy, when she was looking for Rex Buckland.
 * The WB used the promo title A Charmed Wedding.
 * This episode shows how powerful Christy really is, when she incinerate a demon while in a crystal cage and send a psychic shock through the cave breaking the cage and sending an upper-level demon flying back yards away from where he originally stood. Also she burns the rope off her hands without burning/harming herself.
 * Ordinace v růžové zahradě 2 - 163. díl - Musela jsem tě vidět.png episode proves that Piper's powers have advanced since she got them, with her molecular combustion power, she was able to blow up a Triad member with three tries, and with her molecular immobilization she was able to temporarily freeze two triad members, who were upper-level demons.
 * Episode still of Paige and Henry kissing on their wedding appeared in fictional magazine in Czech TV series Ordinace v růžové zahradě 2. One of the main characters pointed to Henry and said that it's his brother.
