This confused some people.

Yes. Drunk Sherlock's drunk deductions were undeniably the best.
Although some people thought they spotted a similarity to another TV character.

And a lot of people couldn't help notice that for a long time the focus of the episode was mostly wedding logistics.

(We take a short break here to spend some time considering the bit where Sherlock ruffled his hair.)
Meanwhile, others had important issues on their minds.

It turns out that Irene Adler keeps turning up in Sherlock's Mind Palace at inconvenient moments.
(Oh, and we learned that Sherlock's Mind Palace is the London Film Museum's debating chamber.)
Not entirely sure what's going on in this picture from the show's makeup designer but WHO CARES?

By the end, the episode had won some of the doubters round.

But lots of people are concerned that everything's been much too lighthearted and that therefore the Hammer of Tears is about to come crashing down.

But we'll leave the final word to a friend of Mr. Cumberbatch, who has IMPORTANT INFORMATION to impart.
