[edit] Synopsis
Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.
Phoebe is hoping that everything will be perfect for her and Cole's wedding, but doesn't know that the Source has completely taken over the groom and is sabotaging the ceremony in order to orchestrate a demonic wedding which will allow their foretold son to be heir to the underworld.

- Lazarus Demon: Rare, high level, demons capable of resurrecting themselves after every vanquish, unless their remains are buried within the confines of cemetery grounds. A flameball, particle acceleration or even a sword can destroy them, reducing them to ash, though they will quickly reform. Lazarus demons look like mortals and wield very strong telekinetic abilities as well as the power to teleport, though they are mean spirited and unreliable, even for demons. The longer a Lazarus is away from cemetery grounds the stronger their powers grow.
[edit] Spells
- Vanishing Spell: Let the object of objection become but a dream, as I cause the seen to be unseen.
[edit] Trivia
- This episode's title is a play on words to the children's carnival ride, Merry-Go-Round.
- An alternate title used by The WB in promotion was Phoebe's Wedding.
- Phoebe and Cole get married in this episode.
- This is the first time we see Victor and Paige together in the series. There is absolutely no discussion about their relationship or lack thereof as Paige was the product of an extra-marital affair between Patty and her Whitelighter, Sam. Victor mentioned the pre-divorce affair to Leo in the episode The Good, the Bad, and the Cursed.
- The name Lazarus Demon was taken from the biblical story where a man named Lazarus was resurrected from the dead. The demon is shown again in the episode Centennial Charmed.
- Several scenes with Coolio were cut from the final reel due to time constraints.
- There is no "Despair" in typical tarot card. However, there is a 'three of swords' card in minor arcana, which pictures three swords piercing a heart, and in the Thoth tarot deck is called "Sorrow." This is similar to 'Despair'.
- Paige is probably new to her orbing power, so she and her sisters forgot that they could have orbed into the bridal shop to change back the correct wedding dress. Even without Paige, Leo could have done that too.
- In this episode, we learn that Paige is familiar to aroma therapy and tarot cards.
- Phoebe appeared to have wanted a totally different wedding ceremony from Piper's. She did not ask for Patty and Grams to attend the ceremony, and she did it in a Christian ceremony. The handfasting spell was not used and the high priestess was not needed.
- In this episode Leo healed Paige when she was attacked by the Lazurus demon. However, because she was invisible and no one could see her, Leo had to sense for her. He did so and said that "Her heart wasn't beating" Whitelighters cannot heal or sense their dead charges.
[edit] International titles
- French: Un couple d'enfer (A couple from hell)
- German: Die Braut trägt schwarz (The bride wears black)
- Spanish: A vueltas con la boda
