** D.J. leaves a note about going to Reno with Nelson to stop Kimmy's wedding, but Comet chews all over it due to the combination of his own hunger and the smell of corned beef sandwich on the note (D.J. was holding one such sandwich before writing the note in question), which results in the message on the note too botched to understand easily, leaving only certain keywords like "D.J.", "Nelson", "Reno", and "married". The note in question gets brought up during the conversation between D.J. and Jesse/Danny.

Added DiffLines:

* SpannerInTheWorks: Comet indirectly helps to get Kimmy's wedding with Duane stopped by slobbering on the note D.J. writes due to it smelling like corned beef sandwich -- D.J. was holding one such sandwich before writing the note in question. This results in the rest of the Tanner family mistakenly believing that D.J. would marry Nelson because of the botched state of the note, which, once Jesse and Danny arrive at the wedding chapel, allows D.J. to request help from Jesse and Danny to talk Kimmy out of marriage.


Added DiffLines:

* ThemedWedding: The wedding chapel in Reno where Kimmy and Duane decide to get hitched serve such weddings, with the participants picking their own preferred theme of choice. Kimmy picks ''Franchise/FridayThe13th''; the couple before Kimmy and Duane are set to go chooses ''Franchise/StarTrek''.

*** Nor does it help that, earlier in the episode, Stephanie actually suggested (presumably in jest) for D.J. to marry Nelson in order for him to pay for the expenses of whatever D.J. decides to do after high school, while D.J. was still rather disappointed with being rejected by Stanford.

*** Not helping matters is the facts that A) Nelson had lent D.J. some earrings he brought with him in a jewelry box in anticipation of meeting the Queen, before Kimmy's wedding announcement to D.J. threw a wrench into the meeting schedule, and B) Stephanie and Rebecca found the empty jewelry box after D.J. and Nelson had already left for Reno. The empty jewelry box + a botched note about getting married = misunderstanding about D.J. marrying Nelson.
*** On the other hand, Danny's initial assessment about the message is even more wildly inaccurate.

"Taking The Plunge" is an episode in the eighth season of ''Series/FullHouse''.

D.J.'s and Kimmy's college application results are revealed, and D.J., despite being turned down by Stanford, her dream university, does get accepted into Berkeley, making her fare better than Kimmy, who has been rejected by every major university in California. This causes Kimmy to decide to run off to Reno to marry Duane, her boyfriend, which, in turn, prompts D.J., with Nelson in tow, to rush to Reno to prevent the wedding, with Jesse and Danny following them there due to a misunderstanding. Meanwhile Joey goes to meet the Queen of England, but a misunderstanding causes the visit to go awry.
