Season 11 of The Big Bang Theory wrapped on Thursday night with a wedding-size episode. It took a lot of people—and a lot of dresses—to pull off the event. I wrote about my feelings on filming the episode already, but here are all the images I took throughout the process. Go behind the scenes with me as I try on dresses, meet Mark Hamill, and get ready for the live taping. Click through the images below and let us know in the comments what you thought of the episode… and that dress!

Ahead of the finale taping, I had to try on a bunch of dresses in the costume department to find “the one.”
A satin, strapless option that didn’t quite feel like Amy (but that I actually felt great in!).
This dress with lace cap sleeves felt a little more Amy Farrah Fowler, but as you saw from the final look, this dress was simply not enough.
The final dress had a pink sash and a couple other finishing touches, but this was ultimately the winner.
Amy’s final dress was actually made up of a strapless gown, a lace top, not one—but two!— capelets, a structured hoop skirt, jeweled accessories, grosgrain pink ribbon and lacy flowers.
Amy normally doesn’t wear much makeup, but Wedding Amy had hair extensions, false lashes, cheek highlighter, the works. We had so much fun in the hair and makeup room—including purple eyeshadow!
I was not quiet about my excitement over meeting Mark Hamill, who appeared as himself in the finale.
Just testing out the hoop skirt and veil…as one does. This flannel shirt is one I “borrowed” from the set of Blossom.
We tried to take a selfie with all of our guest stars, including Jerry O’Connell, Courtney Henggeler, Brian Posehn, Lauren Lapkus, John Ross Bowie, Kathy Bates, Mark Hamill, Wil Wheaton, and Teller. I think we got everyone in?
