Complete story — includes the ending

Ross promises Rachel to get their Vegas marriage annulled, only to shock Phoebe by confessing he cannot go through with it, unable to handle another failed marriage. Whilst he and Phoebe consult other women to see whether they would date him after three divorces, one of the women hypothesises that Ross is still in love with Rachel, to which Phoebe agrees. Ross adamantly denies this and unsuccessfully attempts to secretly annul the marriage himself. Monica and Chandler announce they are moving in together. Joey reacts badly to the news, though Chandler reassures him their friendship will remain the same. Rachel mistakenly believes all three will be living together until Monica explains Rachel has to move out. Rachel then upsets Monica by her blasé reaction, convinced Monica and Chandler will never go through with it. When Monica assures her they will, Rachel becomes distraught and seeks comfort from Ross, just as he is about to tell her the truth about their marriage.
