When do Sheldon and Amy get married?


Sheldon and Amy get married to each other during the season finale of The Big Bang Theory’s season 11. The episode named “The Bow Tie Asymmetry" sees a set of events leading up to the grand wedding of Amy and Sheldon. Throughout this episode we see various events taking place such as Sheldon deciding which tie will fit perfectly for him in his suit, which is one of the most hilarious things that the show has produced.

Sheldon is hit with an epiphany during his conversation with his mother Mary, that sometimes imperfections or asymmetry can also be a source of perfection. This causes Sheldon to meet up with Amy and revisit his string theory by adding what he called "super asymmetry” which had the potential to break the core of physics. While they are briefly interrupted by Penny, we see a moment between Amy and Sheldon where the latter claims that they have a lot of time to make such discoveries. The season comes to an end with the duo getting married to each other.
