Others preferred that it was gone completely and this was what was shown in the scene as filmed . There was worry that people would not understand the joke that indicated Phoebe had married someone in a Vegas wedding, but a vox pop of the audience showed they did . </P> <P> During editing, three minutes and 40 seconds were trimmed from the episode to bring it down to the appropriate running time of 22 minutes .
