My heading refers to one of Jeannie's irritating little habits. It's something you'll notice her doing in several episodes, throughout the series. I honestly wonder whether this was Jeannie's habit, or Barbara Eden's. It's hard to imagine that they would have wanted the character to do this annoying thing, so consistently. In any case, the long awaited wedding is finally here! Big deal!! The only source of amusement here is that genies can't be photographed. Like the other reviewer mentioned, this situation was revealed way back in Season One. In this episode, Jeannie finally solves her problem by blinking up a look-alike dummy, which can be photographed. So, you have this and Jeannie daydreaming, when she's not biting her nails. It was all so funny, I forgot to laugh.

The bewitching genie marries her long suffering master
kevinolzak30 November 2016
"The Wedding," 11th episode of this fifth season, finally closes the door on the six week engagement that dragged into December 1969. A photograph in which Jeannie cannot be seen reprises the idea introduced in the first season episode "The Moving Finger" that genies cannot be photographed. This naturally poses a problem as to how she can appear at her own wedding if no camera can capture her image. The edict of no photographers has a nervous Jeannie in tears, but at least Tony is satisfied that her mother won't show up. Secretly viewing the ceremony from a safe hiding place, Jeannie maneuvers a lookalike mannikin to walk down the aisle for the actual ceremony, she herself standing where she belongs next to the groom while the minister performs the finishing touch. Roger is best man, Amanda Bellows matron of honor, Dr. Bellows gives the bride away. Tony's never mentioned parents are shown briefly, though his mother had been played by Spring Byington in "Meet My Master's Mother." Hardly the classic that was intended, but it is what it is.
