Cliff and Claire are surprised when they learn that Dabnis Brickey is 29, or, as he puts it, "knockin' on thirty." Actor William Thomas Jr., who played the part of Dabnis, was nearly 44 years old when the episode first aired. He passed away in 2020, less than a week after his 73rd birthday.
The title is based on the Christian wedding ceremony: "With this ring I thee wed."
Dabnis... (Vanessa's new boyfriend) is Sinbad spelt in reverse.
