Emliy tells us more.
Hey guys, I'm the OP. To clear a few things up, he didn't exactly ruin the wedding. He and I have always been able to joke back and forth, and quoting shows in fitting situations is almost like a contest to us, to see who can quote a show or movie that matches the situation the fastest and the best. Before the wedding, I was winning at this game, and he saw our wedding as the PERFECT opportunity to take the lead. This wouldn't have been so bad if I wasn't visibly shaking and feeling like I was about the puke throughout the whole ceremony. Don't get me wrong, I love him with all my heart and knew it was the right decision to marry him, but I was still a bundle of nerves. So when he said "Rachel," I immediately burst into tears, because my immediate thought was he was either cheating on me or in love with someone else (I knew the Friends quote, but when you're that invested in what's happening around you, your first thought isn't exactly going to be Ross Geller). So I guess I technically ruined the wedding a little more than him with my horrible sobbing that wouldn't stop even after I had forgiven him... After I calmed down, we went through with the rest of the ceremony. No slaps across the face, no leaving at the altar. We've been together since 8th grade, so I wasn't about to leave him after over 12 years of nothing but love and care.

That's pretty awesome! He is totally a keeper! If you guys can joke like that you can have a great marriage!!!
Worth it!
Please say his name is Ross? He sounds like a keeper to me!
I agree your husband made the wedding golden! Even if you don't get the ref, OP, don't get so mad. I bet your husband always does jokes like that anyway :P
If a guy did that to me I would be even more in love with him.
Those that say it's ok has either not been married or is super laid back. I cried at least a good 15 times two days up until my wedding. They're very stressful until the ceremony is over. Lol it would be something funny to look back on.
He's definitely a keeper! I wouldn't even be upset it would take away the nerves and make the wedding WAY less boring, which everyone's got to admit that they are VERY boring. Have a sense of humor ladies, a guy that can crack a joke in the moment is the best guy to have around for the rest of your life!
Weddings don't have to be boring :) I went to one that was held in a bio dome, they wrote their own vows, and all of the music was the Beatles. Best wedding ever! :D

Glad you were able to provide some context, OP, since that 300-character limit leaves so much room for (mis)interpretation! It sounds like you've got a good attitude about all this and will be able to laugh at it when you tell the story later. Congratulations!
