00:23 She adds, "When you work with someone as closely as I did with Matthew,
00:27 there are thousands of moments I wish I could share. For now, here's one of my favorites."
00:33 The actress posts a friend's clip of the moment their characters, Monica and Chandler,
00:38 hooked up in a hotel room on Ross' wedding day.
00:41 I'm getting married today!
00:44 Good morning, Ross.
00:45 I'm getting married today!
00:47 Yeah, you are!
00:48 Woo-hoo!
00:51 You think he knew I was here?

00:56 Later in the caption, Courtney tells the story of what went on behind the scenes, writing,
01:01 "To give a little backstory, Chandler and Monica were supposed to have a one-night fling in London,
01:07 but because of the audience's reaction, it became the beginning of their love story."
01:13 And while filming the pivotal scene,
01:15 Courtney recalls a special moment between the co-stars that didn't make the final edit,
01:20 sharing, "In this scene, before we started rolling,
01:23 he whispered a funny line for me to say.
01:26 He often did things like that. He was funny and he was kind."
01:31 Do you think he knew I was here?
01:33 [audience cheering]
01:36 [audience cheering]
01:56 Okay, your turn.
01:58 No, no, we're kidding.
02:00 [audience laughing]
02:02 He told me to say it, he did!

02:10 "It is with a heavy heart I say goodbye.
02:12 The times we had together are honestly among the favorite times of my life.

02:21 I will always smile when I think of you and I'll never forget you. Never."
02:25 He adds, "Spread your wings and fly, brother.
02:27 You're finally free. Much love.
02:29 And I guess you're keeping the 20 bucks you owe me."
