TWO-TIME OSCAR NOMINEE WINONA RYDER GUEST-STARS -- An embarrassed Rachel (Jennifer Aniston) bumps into her old sorority sister (Oscar nominee and guest star Winona Ryder, "Little Women," "The Age of Innocence") and wonders whether she should confront her old chum about a boozy incident from their college days when their friendship unexpectedly took a dramatic and passionate turn. In addition, Chandler (Matthew Perry) and Ross (David Schwimmer) try to out-suit each other by renting tuxedos once used by celebrities for the upcoming Chandler-Monica (Courteney Cox Arquette) wedding. Meanwhile, Monica struggles to shuffle her wedding reception seating to accommodate two more guests when dim-witted Joey (Matt LeBlanc) casually invites his parents to fall by. Lisa Kudrow also stars.

The One with Rachel's Big Kiss: April 26, 2001 (New) Winona Ryder pops into Central Perk as the one person who can prove that Rachel has a racy side. Ryder plays Melissa, Rachel's sexy sorority sister, who may or may not have shared a secret smooch with Ms. Green at a sangria-fueled frat party. But when Phoebe refuses to accept Rachel's claims of the illicit liplock ("You're so...vanilla"), it's up to Melissa to clear the air. However, Melissa's memory of the night in question turns out to be just as questionable, forcing Rachel to put her money—and Melissa—where her mouth is. Meanwhile, Chandler has a hard time picking out his wedding tux after he learns that Ross has rented one worn by a former Batman.
