The world is still recovering from the untimely loss of Matthew Perry , and we're still reminiscing over one of his best characters, the unforgettable Chandler Bing in Friends. Just last week, his castmate Courteney Cox , who plays Monica Geller in the sitcom, shared an emotional tribute to Perry with some behind-the-scenes footage of one of Friends ' most iconic scenes: when it was revealed that Chandler and Monica spent the night together on the eve of Ross's David Schwimmer second wedding in London.

She says in her post that this is something Perry whispered to her to say after the cut and that he would often tell the cast to incorporate these types of gags.

We had to stop taping the show because people were screaming.
Kauffman also revealed that Chandler and Monica's or "Mondler," if you will romance wasn't originally supposed to continue. T he writing team had planned it to only be a one-night stand and was going to move on after the season's London arc concluded.
