NBC has invited us all to the wedding of Ms. Elizabeth Miervaldis Lemon (Tina Fey) and Mr. Crisstopher Rick Chross (James Marsden) tonight. Thanks, but no thanks -- we'd rather just watch (NBC/4 tonight at 8, "Mazel Tov, Dummies"). However, assuming this wedding does actually happen (doubtful), what's the fun in that unless you know all the baggage -- in Liz's case, many failed relationships. To that end, the list (of necessity, partial) of past loves . . .
Dennis Duffy (Dean Winters): The Beeper King of New York -- in fact, the only beeper salesman in New York -- is an Islanders fan, borrows money from Liz's mom, is fascinated with rats, is somewhat misogynistic (thinks women that don't like him are lesbians) and refuses to move out of Liz's apartment because he has "squatter's rights." Relationship ends badly.
Dr. Drew Baird (Jon Hamm): Another initially apparent Mr. Perfect, but her next-door neighbor, in fact, turns out to be rather simpleminded and accident-prone -- lost both hands, one after waving at someone he thought to be a former football coach while standing under a helicopter. Relationship ends badly.
Floyd DeBarber (Jason Sudeikis): Finally! Mr. Perfect and from Cleveland, no less. Liz meets the NBC lawyer and recovering alcoholic on the elevator, learns of his current girlfriend in accounting, whom she promptly fires. Liz likes Floyd so much she even goes to Cleveland on vacation with him. Relationship ends badly.
