Carrie, Samantha, Charlotte, and Miranda attend the wedding of their gay friends Stanford and Anthony. For their anniversary, Carrie gives Big a vintage Rolex watch engraved with the message ‘Me and You, Just Us Two’ while he, much to her dismay, shows her a new TV in their bedroom as his gift, which Big says they can use to watch old films together, something they did at the hotel at Anthony and Stanford’s wedding and seemed to enjoy.
