Scoop: Who's getting married on Lost and Grey's? Mar 23, 2009, 12:21 PM | by Michael Ausiello
If you've been bummed out by all my end-of-season death charts and suicide blind items, I've got just the pick-me-up for you: Lost and Grey's Anatomy are both heading for weddings!
An ABC insider confirms that Lost will begin filming a wedding ceremony later today that is slated to air during the show's two-hour finale on May 13. Who's getting hitched? Here are a pair of clues: Actors of Asian-American descent are being sought to play extras, and the wedding will take place on the mainland, not the island. That pretty much rules out Jack/Kate or Sawyer/Juliet. "One theory is that it's a flashback to Sun and Jin's wedding," whispers a Lost insider. "But the wild rumor is that Sun and Jin's daughter will marry Aaron in the future."
Over at Grey's, series creator Shonda Rhimes has already confirmed that one of the show's couple's will tie the knot later this season, and there's increasingly loud buzz that the event will take place on May 7, during the show's landmark 100th episode, appropriately titled "Beautiful Day." Adding to the speculation: The episode will feature a minister.
The bigger question than when it will happen, of course, is who is walking down the aisle? One source close to Grey's says Derek and Meredith will finally take the plunge -- something a show spokesperson would neither confirm nor deny.
Keep in mind, Rhimes said viewers would be surprised by the bride and groom's identities. What would be so surprising about a Mer-Der wedding? Ironically, the speed with which it would have taken place. Sure, the star-crossed lovers have been dating for five years, but a May 7 wedding would make for a lightning-fast, seven-week engagement (that's assuming Mer accepts Der's elevator proposal this Thursday, and all indications are that she will).
"Shonda is probably counting on fans thinking a Der-Mer engagement would be just as drawn out as their courtship," speculates one Grey's insider. "So to marry them off seven weeks after getting engaged would certainly qualify as a surprise."
Do you agree? Would a Mer-Der wedding catch you off guard? Or do you think Rhimes is pulling a bait-and-switch and one of the show's other couples will exchange "I do's"? And what about the Lost nuptials? Which theory are you buying into? Take your speculation and reaction to the comments section!

Don't know about Lost but the Aaron & Ji Yeon theory sounds wild.
It's probably Alex and Izzie on Grey's. Right before Izzie kicks the bucket in the finale.

The only thing that would make that Lost wedding interesting...(in my mind anyway)...is if they show us who is attending (or not attending) the wedding as guests in the future. Then we might know who actually survives the island and who might have a question mark hanging over them for the last season.

So there's a wedding and a big death at the end of LOST this season? That seems a very predictable way to end a season in the world of television. LOL. We have only seen two weddings on LOST, I think. Neither was a resounding success. I think we saw Sun and Jin on their wedding day, but not their actual ceremony.
Whatever. It is in the finale, so I assume it has some meaning. Lindelof & Cuse have done a great job at producing incredible season finales for LOST.
Question: Do you have any awesome scoop on what's ahead on Grey's Anatomy? -- Jim Ausiello: The wedding taking place in the 100th episode on May 7? It's not Mer-Der after all! The plot thickens!
