Even on a hit sitcom, walking down the aisle can be intimidating — just ask Mayim Bialik. The Big Bang Theory star recently reflected on how nervous she felt filming Amy and Sheldon’s long-awaited wedding during Season 11’s finale, “The Bow Tie Asymmetry.”
Writing on Grok Nation, Bialik admitted she went into the episode with a mix of excitement and anxiety. Despite years on the show, the pressure surrounding such a major moment weighed heavily on her. She worried about everything from possible plot twists to how Amy’s family would be portrayed.
The emotions ran deeper than typical on-set nerves. Because Bialik had experienced divorce in her personal life, performing a wedding scene brought up unexpected feelings. Reciting the vows proved to be the most challenging part, with the actress admitting she became emotional as soon as she read them.
Things took a joyful turn when she learned Mark Hamill would appear as the ceremony’s officiant. A lifelong Star Wars fan, Bialik described meeting Hamill as unforgettable. Although she later confessed she didn’t feel her best on the day of filming, the episode ultimately became a fan favorite — marking a defining moment for both Amy and Sheldon.
