“The Big Bang Theory,” television’s #1 comedy, concluded its eleventh season with a momentous occasion: a wedding between main characters.
Sheldon Cooper (Jim Parsons) and Amy Farrah Fowler (Mayim Bialik) finally tied the knot.
Entitled “The Bow Tie Asymmetry,” the episode featured a special appearance by Mark Hamill. Owing a favor to Wolowitz for finding his lost dog, the “Star Wars” star served as the officiant. Other guest stars included Laurie Metcalf, Jerry O’Connell, Kathy Bates, Teller, and Wil Wheaton.
Following Thursday’s broadcast, CBS issued a special wedding album to the press. Some of the photos follow:
