 Elliott Gould and Christina Pickles reprised their roles as Jack and Judy Geller . The set for the Geller house was used previously in " The One Where Joey Moves Out " , for Jack 's birthday party and in the season seven episode " The One Where Rosita Dies " , when Ross and Monica visit their parent 's garage . The flashback in Thanksgiving 1987 was Monica and Chandler 's first meeting along with Rachel and Chandler . Bright commented that the show tries not to contradict itself ; " once we establish something , we try not to undo it . " In " The Pilot " it appears Rachel meets Chandler for the first time . She also meets him in a later flashback episode , " The One Where The Stripper Cries " . To excuse the continuity error , Bright adds they do not remember each other meeting because they look different .
