If by now you're getting the feeling that the characters and/or writers-- Adam I. Lapidus this time-- were ambivalent about Tony and Angela getting married, you're correct. Here, Tony seems to be, yes, allergic to love, and the more he insists he wants to get married, the less she believes him. At some point in this season, there was a switcheroo, with some, including Light, still in favor of having a wedding, and others, most notably Tony D and ABC, feeling that marrying off Tony M and Angela would be a mistake, either because that wasn't what the show was supposed to be about and/or because it would harm the series in syndication. In any case, the dilemma here is "solved" in that it turns out that Tony is only allergic to the glue in the wedding invitation envelopes, but there's still an unsettling feeling about the proceedings.
A few other things to note: Mona says that Angela was at her wedding, implying she was pregnant at the time; Sam, despite her relationship with Hank, is only inviting Bonnie, whom we haven't seen in about a year; Tony worries about whether Angela snores, even though he's literally slept with her a few times; and Tony looks like his mother, while Angela looks like his father!
Alf's Max Wright plays Dr. Wormser. Bruce French and Eileen Barnett return as Ted and Elaine Braddock.
